This is a very good CD, for me it rates 5 stars, but I listen to a lot of Import CDs, from Japan in particular so I like it better than the average listener probally would. But If you have seen Long Vacation or even if you have not. And like pop especially J-pop I think you will not be dissapointed in this selection of music.

I liked this disc very much, actually I have hoped that a soundtrack to this show would be released on CD ever since I first saw the Long Vacation TV drama on the International Channel a few years ago and never knew there was one until just a few days ago.

So I highly suggest you get it if you also like J-Pop or any of vocals from some of the Japanese Anime series that are out there. but if you don't like music with lyrics in another language than this is probally not the disc for you. There is a couple tracks that are instrumental and even a few english vocals, but around half of them is in Japanese. So I believe there is a enough here for everyone. You might want to try the samples to get a taste of it, and I believe after listening to these few tracks you'll love this disc also. Oh and by the way if you have a chance, try to see the series also. Very good even though short. because the music is even better if you have seen it when you remember the story.

Actually The only thing I did not like about it is, it does not include the most excellent Opening Theme song of the show "La La La love Song". I just hope they release a Vol. 2 CD with it as well as a little BGM too. And it is a little short at around 40 minutes. But altogether is a very good disc and rates at 5 stars, but the release gets 4 stars, not because of the amount of minutes on the disc but because it does not include the very very good and in my opinion best piece of music from the series, next to "Close to you Sena's Piano II. I wonder why it was not included, maybe because it is not by Cagnet the main composers of the songs on the rest of the album. but I could be wrong. But a 5 star disc it is none the less, even without the before mentioned song.

Well that is my opinion, and I hope this review helps anyone reading this decide if they want to purchase it. Thanks.

Length:: 0:58 Mins

This from the Long Vacation star himself. ;p

The film LV is so hit. One of the reasons is the background songs and music are so great. Apart from the "Close to you Sena's piano II" is so touching, the "Sobani Iteyo" is also impressive. Don't miss it. Buy it now!

Even if you are not LV fans, you'd love this CD. Cagnet's Songs are simple but great! Song like "What will I do" and "Deeper and Deeper"are touching. Must have for every LV fans

LV is so far the best Japanese TV series and one of the reason for its success is its music. This is just a great CD.Anyone who has or has not watch LV should own it ! It worths your money.
