Saihyou: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X21KqIO1Iyk

Went to listen to Saihyou right away.  A-are these t-tears?    I am so pleased with her album lol.  Thank you!

Just finished listening to Yukiho's.  Pretty good, I really like her Agape, prolly more than her main solo.(its still good though!)
Oops, I forgot Kosmos, Cosmos lol.  Hmmm, yeah it feels a bit "heavy", and that weird warbling in her voice... 

Mami's are pretty fun to listen to, especially her Do-Dai.


Well, off to listen to Saihyou again. XD

[Chihayaa]

Saihyou is like listening to a dream. They really went all out with Chihaya's and I'm glad

[OniZetto]

Asami-san's voice is priceless, if it weren't her casting voice, we'll never encounter such joyful memories

[Vas]

Azumi's Kosmos, Cosmos is...Different, not bad imo, just different.
And Chihaya's songs are epic as always. Asami's voice is...Just. Yeah.
*fangirling intensifies.

I listened to the previews and I'm pretty impressed. It's better than the last batch imo. Saihyou is okay I'm not sure I like the drums in the beginning because it sounds heavy to me and Chihaya sounds weak on the high notes around 0:41 but overall it's ok but I definitely like the game version better since it's softer and she doesn't blare the notes as much. Kosmos, Cosmos is basically like a remix, heavy in places but I like it actually. Yurina's is obviously better but we've all beat that dead horse enough. I like Yukiho's Agape as well. Mami's is what I expected and her covers are good!

[Chihayaa]

I'm expecting Phat Company to start a second lineup of scale figures revolving around the MASTER ARTIST 3 art, because I'm a huge fan of the art right now, especially Yukiho's outfit.

Contrary to some, I actually like the changes made from the game version on Saihyou.  Especially in the chorus, when they tone down the instrumentals in the beginning to give more emphasis on that raw power of her voice.  Imo, it also makes a clearer transition from the verse to chorus and gives it more impact.  I always felt that part in the game version was lacking. 

That note on 0:41 sounded pretty natural to me(I didn't notice anything before you pointed it out), it's just a slighter higher pitch and she maintains it on 0:47.  It's prolly more noticeable because in the game version, her voice is sorta faded out and overlaid by the instrumental in that particular part.

[Roswell]

Chihaya sounds weak on the high notes around 0:41

Yeah that was a really weird note. Even though she hits it really well in the game version... Other than that, I still like it. I really like the beats starting at 1:34.

[OniZetto]

Yeah that was a really weird note. Even though she hits it really well in the game version...

She hits it too hard this time... but hopefully that second part of the song won't be the same.

[Yukibro]

I'm still surprised about the sudden direction they went in with Kosmos. It's more of a remix than an actual cover of the original song, so I don't think it's just an effect added to the voice. It's just a curious decision to make when everyone saw it on the album list and assumed it would be straightforward.  I do like the sound regardless, so I'm sure I'll enjoy the full version. _{Neo Acoustic is still the best version}

The new songs sound nice, though I can't really comment on those until the full versions are out. Other than that, I guess I kinda though Mami's covers were a little weak compared to the others. I also think this is the best set of album art so far.

[OniZetto]

Actually, I think this is the best version of Kosmos I've ever heard!!

[monomarquis]

Just listened to all the songs on 07-09 and in my opinion the quality of this batch surpassed the fall group. Houkago Jump was my personal favorite, and the Kosmos,Cosmos was good too!

[Okayu]

Chihaya's album was great.

Also is it me or did they include a musical reference to Aoi Tori in Saihyou's master version?

From twitter. I'd argue nemurihime would be on Producer's side, besides Chihaya sings it after yakusoku in the anime anyways.

[Yukibro]

Just got through Yukiho's album.

Ano Hi no Namida:
It's as nice as I expected, but I do have to compliment those instrumentals, especially that solo near the end. Really sets the mood. I'm not sure if that breath in the end was a mistake or intentional, but I like it.

Kosmos, Cosmos:
I feel like this one's contentious with the changes it made, and I still don't know why it's more like a remix myself, but it's certainly not bad. I actually kinda like the new instrumentals myself, and it still sounds better than the early version Azumin has in-game now.

Agape and Snowdome:
Really nothing to say here. I liked the songs and the previews, and the full versions are just as good. Agape had some loud instruments, though.

Shizuka:
I may have preferred 99 Nights as a choice, and maybe I would have linked for Kimi Channel too, but I still really like this one. It's certainly a good song for Yukiho in-game, and it transitioned perfectly into the M@STER.

ONLY MY NOTE:
I was kinda concerned if only because some of the in-game (non-DLC) songs for Yukiho sound a little weird (mostly M@STERPIECE), but this ended up really good.
