The first eight tracks are actually perfect summer pop anthems with that J-pop flair that always keeps me and many others coming back. They are bouncy, fun, textured, and have great writing from front to back. However, as soon as ?KARAAGE? comes in the quality in writing, sound, and style takes a huge dip and I?m not really sure why. Not sure what happened to have a stellar first 3/4?s and then completely bomb the last four tracks, but if you want a great summer to listen then give the first eight tracks a go.
