1+2 sampling tracks

天城越え

越冬つばめ

夜桜お七

you read it here first. Ranbi nosed around the official site and tried his luck with intelligently altering the filenames according to the track number and lo and behold!! we found 2 more sampling tracks not available on their site yet (it’s there but not linked). these are probably going to be released over the next 2 weeks. ENJOY!!! awesome arrangement on the tracks and vocals too.

    I really like the contrast between the her high and deep vocals. Senju Akira seems to have done a very good job again. :)

    Thanks, Eugin & Danny! Not bad at all, though 天城越え takes some getting used to - the original is too well known.

    I am a very happy Akina fan today! Salute to Ranbi and the other VAMPires.

    I love the arrangement, and kudos to Universal/Akina for finding a master like Akira San.

    MG, judging from the samples, I think Akina’s voice has improved drastically compared to beginning of the year. It is a good news. I was most worried about her voice before. Pray that she will continue to live healthily both body and soul.

    I love the daring and contemporary arrangement! We were all a bit skeptical and I am the first to advocate not trusting sample tracks because they always make the song sound worse than the real thing, but I have to say I am rather happy with what I heard.

    I was not expecting this but I think I liked her interpretation of 夜桜お七 best at the moment, maybe because it is not as popular as the other two, and it was just that it was so difficult to fathom Akina singing "さくら。。。"

    i felt that the approach for 天城越え was very poetic.
