CD+DVD edition   1. 断罪の花～Guilty Sky～

2. Dober Man

3. Platinum Smile

- It's probably that we won't find anything new in this DVD (Guilty Sky, Dober Man and Plasma videos were included in their respective DVD PVs... but I still haven't seen this DVD... so There would be surprises... It reminds of the BFU III DVD release -Red Rocket Rising video had a little change-)

My comments:  (WARNING! You'll find some spoilers.... If you haven't listened to the entire album)

I really like this album, because It shows how Riyu style has changed, since she's now an avex artist (and not a BEMANI one).

I have finally choosen my fav tracks from this album:

5. 断罪の花～Guilty Sky～(every struggle edit)

I wrote every struggle edit, because It's a little bit different from the original one (from CLAYMORE ED single-2007).

The organ sounds good in the first seconds, but I think It was not neccesary to do that. I've comments like "the organ now makes a sound distortion when you mix it with the viloin sound". The new version organ reminds me of the Guilty Sky BALLAD STYLE remix (from the Riyu's "Dober Man" CD single - 2007). I still think than the original "Guilty Sky" is better and SO EPIC!!.. It's still my fav Riyu song of all.

4. the eastern sky

Which genre is this track of?

HYPER J-POP??

Anyway, this one reminds of SHOOTING STAR and Get set GO! (BFU).

3. every struggle 

I like how the piano sounds. Naoki Maeda was behind of this track. This tracks reminds me a lot of GRADUATION -BFU 1st edit-.  

2. 3D♥HEART

Hyper Kawaii Riyu Style!!!

It reminds a lot of Himawari and LOVE♥SHINE (the original one, and the 2006 ver.)

The Riyu voice sounds so funny in this track. NAOKI was behind this track, too!!! (If you have listened to it, you will notice that!)

I can't think about this track without adding it a DDR stepchart!! xD 

I hope to KONAMI negociates with avex to add this track to a future DDR/DS version release (It would be great If is added to the next DS AC version) 

1. Sunny the Ride 

I think that this is best track from this album. Because of the strong battery sound, and the Riyu voice.... (OMG... Riyu can easyly perform lots of song with different voice styles)

Sunny the Ride definitely shows you how Riyu style has changed and "evolved").

CHORUS 

...Ready Go bokura wa densetsu ni naru oikaze wo se ni
Like the shine of sunshine
itsu made mo hateshinaku kagayaki tsuduketa
So we run towards SUNNY DAYS ...

That was my review of my fav tracks from every struggle. I hope you like this new Riyu album, like me. I'd like to see your opinion posting reply messages to this article (or in the Riyu Kosaka topic that I've created in -OFF TOPIC-)
