I've Sound + Kotoko topic

[Kacku]

Time to revive this thread with some news! KOTOKO's 6th album has been announced: it's titled Kuchuu Puzzle (空中パズル), will be released on November 20th in two editions (the limited one contains, you guessed it, a DVD with a PV), contains at least unfinished, Light My Fire, Loop-the-Loop, Restart, Sakura no Ame Moegi no yo (the b-side to unfinished) and (self-)cover of RO-KYU-BU's song SHOOT! that KOTOKO wrote lyrics to plus new songs for 14 in total.

I'm not really expecting this album to top Hiraku Uchuu Pocket (I loved that album! Still do), but I'm really excited to hear what KOTOKO's gonna bring this time! It'll be interesting to see if she's still working with I've or if the new album is going to be all new people (except for Restart and Loop-the-Loop). I hope she works with livetune again, livetune makes some amazing songs and Mirai Ressha was a blast!

... And now that I think about it, there's also another album coming out I had completely forgotten about. 'OTL Larval Stage Planning will have their first album, titled LSP, released on November 6th! Album contains all of their three Lantis singles and their b-sides, three "Indies" songs (eroge songs?), new songs called "fire just do it" and "syzygy" and four other new songs - so 15 tracks in all (if I'm reading things correctly)! I'm hoping they also sneak some solo songs there, I need some good solos from Lin and Nami. Let's hope this album will turn out good!

I was going to ponder how I've has been so very quiet this year, but LSP's album announcement almost makes my point look a bit moot. But don't let it trick you, I've has still done so little this year! Notable releases: Mami's best-of and new single, MELL and Kaori's last albums and now this. Still might look a bit much, but when you consider that most of Mami and MELL's best-ofs was recorded years ago (and I think even the new tracks on MELL's best were done, like, last year or earlier)... what HAS I've been doing this year?

I hope they've found some new talent from the auctions MeltingCORE pointed out and are preparing to actually put some stuff out in the future - and not just with Mami, let's get LSP, MAKO and, even though I didn't like their debut on the SHORT CIRCUIT BEST at all, Pixy lab. to do some stuff! I'm missing my new I've fix I need some music. :C
