THE IDOLM@STER MASTER ARTIST 2 Series

[BT2]

I actually don't recall this being on a CD... It just appeared on one of their radio shows.  However, someone can prove me wrong because I honestly don't remember.

Dat is correct sir.
iM@S RADIO got canned replaced by Station before they released another CD

Chihaya debuted at # 10 on Oricon.

Chihaya's MEGARE! surprised me. For the first second or so I didn't think it was her o_o

[Raestloz]

Just listened to Chihaya's CD. Verdict?

arcadia
Good old arcadia. Exactly the same as the one in Master Special 03. Still a great song with high bpm and lots of action

Ai ni Tsuite
Let me say this: this is not the usual Chihaya, probably due to the song's note. She sounds restrained, IDK.

Subjective statement : I don't like this song. Too slow and restraining, exactly like what Moon Waltz did to Takane. It doesn't have precise climax, and the octaves are just around that, no variation (reminds me of how DREAM doesn't have one due to 100% action)

MEGARE!
No... just NO! Chihaya wasn't born for this kind of song. She almost sounds like someone else for the whole song. Go back to Haruka for some good MEGARE!

Hoshi no Kakera wo Sagashi ni Ikou again
Subjective sentence: I said not even Chihaya can beat Takane in this, and I am right.

Objective one: this is actually good, her BGM is different with Takane's (more... I don't know... classical?). Lots of instruments at play constantly, the one thing I like from iM@S. However, the song is better suited for Takane, especially the BGM.

The one annoying problem that is group sing (read: Makoto's voice) at the end is once again present. If you want to give us individual version, make it individual, dammit!

If you want the best version, go for Takane's. That one is pure win. But this is a good alternative and won't fail you

Nemuri Hime
OOT: What? Chapel bells? What the hell?

OT: This song takes SO DAMN LONG to kick off: one minute and 14 seconds (she starts singing at 33 seconds, but won't start being awesome until that). After that this is a win, a pure WIN. This is another Grand-themed song like Tonari ni... and ALIVE, and lasts for 6 solid minutes: prepare to be patient and amazed.

The only catch is that Chihaya stops singing in 40 seconds before the end: you're left with some kind of grand choir for another 20 seconds, and after that some violin instrumentals until the end. Oh, and that long kick off.

This is a must listen, especially if you're a fan of Chihaya. A rare kind of song (there are only three, including Tonari ni... and ALIVE), so worth the time.

Sleeping Beauty is a wonderful song.

And guess who composed it, awe yea Go Shiina.  You can recognize those instrumentals from almost any where XD _{although it might help if you know his other works (ToL, God Eater) but just knowing Tonari ni, ALIVE and Aoi Tori you'll know.}

Couldn't agree more even the instrumental alone is a great piece of music. I hope its used in alot of MADs

Listened to all three of the new CDs.

TAKANE:

Kazahana - Pretty alright. Not quite as catchy as I thought but it was still nice.

Tsuki no Waltz - Definitely one of the best songs from this series I have heard so far. I loved it. Probably because I like jazz-y stuff. But she really showed off her voice in this one and it turned out super well.

Hoshi no Kakera wo Sagashi ni Ikou again - so-so. I didn't really like the song itself but Takane did a solid job of singing it.

THE Ai - I loved this version because the other ones from the iDREAMLOST CD didn't quite cut it for me.

MEGARE - Nice version. Some words were over-pronounced which bugged me a bit. But it turned out to be one of the best versions so far. This one is tied with Miki's and Haruka's for me.

MAKOTO:
Barely bothered with this CD since I do not like boku-ko voices.
*Seikan Hikou was a sloppy choice for this idol. Did not fit at all.*

CHIHAYA:

Nemurihime - This song was pretty nice. I was expecting Chihaya's usual slow boring whiny songs. But this was like ALIVEx10.

Ai ni Tsuite - Chihaya slow whiny song. Did not like. Will never listen to again.

Hoshi no Kakera wo Sagashi ni Ikou again - Solid cover. Not as good as Takane's though.

MEGARE - This song doesn't fit Chihaya. But my ears didn't bleed.

arcadia - This song gets a bronze medal for not sounding any different than the original.

Preview of Yayoi's song is up. HNNNNNG IT'S SO CUTE

[Haldo]

SO CUUUUUUUUTE!!!

[Yui]

Wow... I really liked Makoto's new album.
About Takane with Kazebana... maybe I'm crazy, but... it just remind me some Megaman Zero BGM. But the song is nice.
And Nemuri Hime... it's just me, or the song carry some depressive air (like Alive)?

Well, can't wait for the remaining 3 albums.

Um... depressive? What's that? Do you mean something that makes you depressed?

[Yui]

Um... depressive? What's that? Do you mean something that makes you depressed?

No, no. I mean, the song sounds a bit... sad. Of course, it's just my opinion.
Well, I saw the lyrics and the translation (to english). Then, I translated it to my language. (Some parts of the song remind me some Fragile Dreams parts)

It's such a nice song.
