I first listened to Akino's beautiful voice from the anime Outlaw Star and ever since I have been hooked to her voice. I may not like american pop, but her voice and this song can make any pop haters appreciate pop musicians like her!

This review is from: Kouseki Radio (Audio CD)

Akino's got arguably the sweetest voice ever; to say, angelic, is not an overstatement. Her rhythm arrangements are cutting edge modern. Her mixes are awesome, blending modern instruments with orchestral seemlessly, retaining a very modern, pop feel. Truly a unique artist at the peak of her craft. Reminds of a mix of Japanese girl, meets Radiohead, and George Martin in Studio.

The only caveat is, that there are at least 3 or 4 "throwaway tracks". Whazzup widdat ?! I call 'em glips. ( Glip - a track with no chance ever for public performance of any kind. Examples: Revolution 9 - Beatles, Fitter Happier - Radiohead. )

Even with those, however, this CD contains at least 3 PERFECT songs. PERFECT, I say. This is the kind of CD that makes you
glad you're surfing around for esoteria.

If you can find it, her CD with Yula Yayoi - Goddess in the Morning is equally transendent.

4.0 out of 5 stars This CD will change your perception of pop music., March 19, 2002

This review is from: Kouseki Radio (Audio CD)

As others have, I first became acquainted with Akino Arai through her work on "Outlaw Star." She recorded both end themes, "Hiru no Tsuki" (Melfina's Theme) and "Tsuki no Ie." This is truly an album in the artistic sense. The theme is an exploration of the offerings on the radio dial, thus the selections are eclectic. However, whatever the musical style, all the cuts are done with the virtuosity, humor, refreshing intelligence, and enchantingly understated style for which Miss Arai is known. The entertainment value of this very enjoyable album has changed my perception of pop music. As performed by Akino Arai, "Koseki Radio" is a rare treat. (BTW, the tenth track is "Riskcaution Corporation.")
