Oh that... she stated in an interview for Trinka Trinka she said she was trying to not write depressing songs anymore, maybe that's why.

Nope, I know that. I'm not saying that's she's just going on a sweet/happy theme now (I like that side of her just as much too) but that I hear a little bit of repetition in her latest lyrics.

My fave song on TCD was Dream Catcher Soo good.

Tbh I don't really look up the lyrics, unless songs are in english, so I kinda... don't care unless there's a translation lol. I treat her voice as another instrument in the japanese parts.

Can you post which parts?


Dreamcatcher is my absolute favorite. Stars shining out comes close, but probably just from the introduction and the "I'm screaming out" bits. Is there an english translation of the song?

And speaking of, does anyone have a HQ picture of the bird with the tree branch wings from the video? I kinda want to get it tattoed.

I didn't see GREATEST HITS in the top 30 , weekly wise so yeah .__.

it does suck as even though they included some of her more mainstream/well known tracks that she did for the NANA anime , it didn't helped .__.

Seeing as how she didn't get any promotion for this, I'm not surprised. avex is terrible at promotion.

Oh my!! That's terrible!!!! Poor OLIVIA

NO one has commented, but there is a huge lack of songs from Synchronicity, anyone knows why?

And like someone mentioned, it's also a shame that Sugarbloodsuckers isn't in this compilation

I don't think there's any real reason, there just isn't.

the only time OLIVIA sold well was frankly when she released a little pain & Wish / Starless Night which both singles were used to promote the NANA anime

that was the only time that she had a lot of promo from avex than ever before but after that .__.

I don't know about "always"... this seems to be an all-time low, especially considering it's a compilation albums which 9 times out of 10 will sell a whole lot better than new original material.

I guess the only times when OLIVIA was 'super popular' were during her times of front girl in D&D and during her NANA era.

You can check her sales here http://j-ongaku.org/wiki/OLIVIA

J-Ongaku says Trinka trinka sold...

1,700 copies. One thousand seven hundred copies, just in case you think I might have accidentally dropped a zero, but, no, sadly, I didn't.
