She's more suited to have long hair though

Spotlight DVD rip footages

Spotlight is currently my favourite album of 2018 , hopefully I wouldn't need to wait another 4 more years for a new FLOWER FLOWER studio album but it's worth the wait nonetheless

I think FLOWER FLOWER finally found their own sound in Spotlight . I felt for their previous releases , they were still searching what works and/or doesn't work for them

Spotlight joins a very selective few albums I have listened to over the years which have no singles but yet they're stellar from start until finish

I'm still surprised how unexpectedly good Spotlight is & it's much more well put together than Mi

The 4 years wait is definitely worth it , I just hope I wouldn't need to wait that long for another new album from them

And yeah , it's worth cranking up the volume to FULL blast in hearing Inochi , it's a such a great opening no. for sure

VIVA LA J-ROCK ANTHEMS will take place at Saitama Super Arena

Interesting it's not FLOWER FLOWER that's appearing but just yui only . Wonder does this mean she might sing some of her old solo songs ?

I would love it if YUI comes back but she seems at ease being with FLOWER FLOWER for the time being

Alternatively , YUI can come back with a new solo release but still continue to partake in FLOWER FLOWER related activities

Just that I'm not sure if she's willing to juggle both at the same time

Some of YUI's material are still some of her best up to now , especially her more harder rock songs

Spotlight is really good. Barely any songs that don't just slap you across the face with greatness right off the bat. It's really hard to name special stand-outs when the songs are so consistently good, but I'd say I especially like Inochi (WHAT a way to open an album and show off a new direction for the band!), Coffee (love the classic FLOWER FLOWER keyboards), Anata to Taiyou (LOVE the whispers and atmosphere), Odori (makes me want to move and groove), and Tokei (it's got all the energy of many of the earlier songs in a sunny package this time, and it's great). FLOWER FLOWER is bringing more rock and energy than before, and it caught me by surprise, but it's good. I do feel the lack of slower, more atmospheric songs (like Negai or Aki) on this album and I miss them, but I'm sure they still have some of those up their sleeves for the future.

^ I'm geeking out over the fact that yui and NakamuraEmi are performing at the same event, they're some of my favourite artists in the current J-pop scene.

I got my friend to buy Spotlight (and other CDs) for me while she was in Japan! I've played the album several times, it's so good. I've noticed that this album demands to be played loud, Inochi is SO GOOD when you crank the volume up and let it blast.

I wouldn't quite say that they finally found their own sound here -- I think they established their own sound right away on Mi and have now evolved it significantly in a new direction with Spotlight. But I do agree that they have gone quite a way in discovering what works for them: in hindsight, Mi seems to have a lot of throwing ideas at the record and seeing what sticks, while Spotlight is a much tighter package with a more self-assured sound.

I'm also still surprised at how good Spotlight is, it's such a strong album. Also, I love having it on CD, getting to hear it from speakers instead of headphones makes the whole listening experience different and fresh all over again.

Yeah I agree , while Mi wasn't a bad debut album , the sound consistency wasn't there & at times I can tell some songs worked for them while some don't

Spotlight feels a lot more put together & they sounds much more confident and assertive in deciding what type of music direction they plan to stick to

For them to exclude Takaramono & Mannequin from Spotlight , it means something . It's a risk they undertook but it most definitely paid off as I frankly don't have a bad thing to say about all the songs in Spotlight

It's not easy for artistes whose follow up albums sound a lot more better than their debut so for FLOWER FLOWER to be in this category , I'm real pleased about it & I'm sure the members are real proud what they've accomplished regarding Spotlight
