This is what RAINBOW looks like in my iTunes:

1. everlasting dream
2. WE WISH
3. Real me
4. Free & Easy
5. Heartplace
6. HANABI
7. taskinillusion
8. everywhere nowhere
9. July 1st
10. Dolls
11. neverending dream
12. Voyage

It just flows a lot better without "Over" and "Close to you," plus I've always hated the last song. "Voyage" just seems like a natural conclusion, very elegant. RAINBOW was always one of my least favorites, but I've been liking it a lot more since I made these edits. I might eventually stick "independent" back in there between "everywhere nowhere" and "July 1st" if I can find a version without "+," but then again I don't necessarily miss it. Putting it there might just make the middle part of the album too loud. Also, if I were really designing the album as it should have been released, then the song RAINBOW would be on there as a hidden track.

I'm tempted to do some trimming on (miss)understood as well, which I think is her least coherent album. I'd take out all the Sweetbox tracks except "rainy day" and "Ladies Night," but sometimes I like listening to some of the others every now and then.
