affection has a really old school sound, but if you appreciate old and more classic sounding R&B, you will like this album. I think it's amazing.

@tenshi no hane: I think you may be right about one of the songs translating better as 'I like you'. From what I have learned from talking to Japanese people, the phrase "aishiteru", I guess literally translated as 'I love you', is not used by Japanese people when expressing love to people in real life. In real situations they use the phrase "daisuki", literally "I like you" to mean "I love you" (they said something about Japanese people not really being that emotional in situations and prefer the more reserved way of saying 'I love you'). Actually saying 'aishiteru' is usually reserved for dramatic movies and love songs. I guess we will have to wait to see how people say it, but I think, maybe, if Kuu wanted the song to really convey 'I love you' she would use the more literal version.
