I meant Setsuna, not Kioku-There’s No End…

The problem with 30minutes night flight for me is that some of the songs are too energetic. I can lie in bed, on my night flight, falling deep into tracks like the title track, Bokutachi ga Koi wo Suru Riyuu and Universe, but others, like Kioku-There’s No End are much too repetitive to relax to, disrupting the flow of the album I was looking forward to.

Still, otherwise, the music is very good overall, and much better than the likes of LOOP.

I love Maaya Sakamoto songs espicially those she sang for Escaflowne. She also does quite well as a seiyu for various animes and can really express the characters very well. I too would like to meet her if I could ^^ Where did u get your limited edition from?

I’m also a bit disappointed with 30minutes night flight – it is better than Yuunagi LOOP in that it doesn’t bore me to tears, but the only song I can really find myself listening to over and over again (like right now) is 30minutes night flight – the rest are just good songs, but not memorable.

Anyway, I’ll still be keeping up to date with her and hope her songs get better soon ^^; I still like her a lot, but I’m also still hoping her songs will be better (or she’ll collaborate with YK again xD).

Fanboying is great especially it’s Maaya Sakamoto.

I haven’t gotten my copy of Night Flight yet (waiting on other pre-ordered CDs from CDJapan…) but I’m glad to hear that it’s good. I first encountered Universe at the Konica-Minolta Planetarium at Sunshine City, and it left an impression on me strong enough to make me want to buy Night Flight even though I gave Loop a miss.

How is the Production IG animation? I might want to switch to a non-limited edition if it isn’t 100% must-have :)

Wooo Happy Birthday to Maaya! (And a belated one for Kawasumi Ayako yesterday too).

I love Maaya. She’s still one of the few J-pop artists I like enough to listen to for entire albums. To this day, Hemisphere remains my favorite anime opening, and the reason why I watched RahXephon in the first place. It’s really too bad that she’s dropped off after losing Yoko Kanno, but she’ll always have a place in my heart (as cheesy as that sounds).

Personally, I didn’t like 30minutes night flight much. It was better than Yunagi Loop and a step in the right direction, obviously, but it’s not even close to any of her Kanno albums. Oh well.
