His best album in a long time if you ask me (and I'm not just saying that because I scream like crazy on #4 ...haha...)
Best track is the beautiful #7 Islands. And I actually like the ESG-punkish #4. Track #5 has a Halcali sound to it with some Hideki-rapping. It's also features one of Halcali's songwriters (forgot the name now). #1 Welcome back the happy night! features the girls in Midaircondo (http://www.midaircondo.com) and is nice too.
It's out today. Go get your own copy :)

I thought his recent output has been pretty medicore, but i'm looking forward to this. I'll pick up a copy on the way home from work.
He's playing a gig with Halfby and handsomeboy at Karma in Osaka isn't he?
