I'd never known that I would love Yui Makino's newest album "Holography" that much. I liked her song since "ARIA" and "synchronicity", so then I tried her first and second albums, but I didn't like those albums. To me, I think there was not a good consistency in those albums, which were more like a collection of her anime theme songs.
However, her third "Holography" is really very good. Even though I have to say they are still pop songs, this time, songs in the albums are more like one unity (and I'm not sure if there are lots of anime songs in it.xD).
I strongly recommend this album. If you love cute voice, you mustn't miss it!

"Haru Machi Kaze". It's a good one as the opening of the entire album. This song's melody is also a bit nostalgic to me.
"Onegai June Bride" is one of my favorites. I love it's bouncing melody and the joyful ambience. When I know it's a song for Shiseidou CM song later, I could understand why this song has such a pleasant charm in it.
"Merry-go-round". It's called "album ver.", but I don't know anything about it's "original ver." (I haven't paid attention to Yui Makino since her second album ^^;). It's still a delightful song and can make you relaxed, but to me, there's nothing very special in it.
"Fuwafuwa" is another of my favorites. I loved it as soon as its single released. The melody is so sweet, yet the lyrics is rather bitter. Yui's voice is cuter than other songs (I believe!). I also tried to sing this song, but I still need to control my voice in a better way. Well, hope I can do better in future. :3
"Cluster", not very special to say...
"Precious". I love this song, especially its melody. As the title says, Yui's voice is so precious and gentle. However, the only thing I want to say is this song is too short!
"hologram". Here, the style got changed. This song's ambience does fit its title. I like the mysterious feeling.
"crepuscular rays". Nothing special to me.
"Nidome no Hatsukoi". Same as above. Just, this song has a similar nostalgic feeling as "Haru Machi Kaze".
"Brand-new sky". I like its melody, but don't like some parts of its arrangement. But overall, this is a good song, and it's also one not-that-delightful song among all tracks.
"Ao no Kaori". I didn't try this song when the single was out. But I think I should get the single sometime (because then I can get the instrumental version of the song xD). The melody is pretty good, and the lyrics is good. I especially love the last phrase. Her voice matches with this type of melody. +_+
"Mirai no Hitomi wo Hiraku Toki". Why, why I have a deja-vu of another melody I ever heard before? xDD Anyway, I love this one~ the last part is superb!
"Sono Saki e". Hmmm, a good ending song here, isn't it? :P

So, here, just remembered suddenly, about the monthly top songs plan. Maybe I should quit before I start it. To me, I more like to write about new good songs as soon as I find them. Monthly top songs... what if I loop the same album for lots of times and I love them equally? Therefore, I told myself, I should quit here! lol
