花時計

Flower is here with a new album titled Hanadoeki and translates to Flower/Floral Clock in English, which makes a lot of sense no? ^^ I have been very excited about this album, FLOWER is one of many few girl groups I follow these days, they are more mature than E-girls, it's more woman-like rather than girl-like in their dances. However as for the lyrics it's about the same level ^^;; Anyway I'm happily surprised about this album!!! But I have to admit, I wanted more new songs instead of new versions of older ones.

I really like the 2015 version of "秋風のアンサー", I loved the single version too and it's not a big change to it yet it's so good ^^ I also like the vibes from the song "青いトライアングル", it's a little Spanish touch over it ^^ Also, compare to the "old" version of "熱帯魚の涙", I like the 2015 version making the song a lot better compare to the first time I heard it. The song "Dreamin’ Together" feels like a good song to listen to at the gym, it's something about the rhythm ^^ although it also reminds me of the Disney movie High School Musical (^^;;) "Spring has come" is kinda girly but FLOWER shines through a lot, I actually listened to this while being on my way to work the other day, and as the sun rays hit my face through the window, I felt like this song kinda matched my morning feelings. Another song I really like is "時間旅行", I love the music and lyrics for this one, it has also become a fave song to listen to in the morning on my way to work for some reason... time travel would be nice I guess.

As for the covers, the song SECRET BASE~君がくれたもの~ is one of my fave Japanese songs over all and I was kinda skeptic about this, but it turned out very well!!
