Kansai native Nagi Yanagi's major label debut album is a worthwhile, practically sempiternal, and all-around rewarding J-Pop release that succeeds in aiming to be a cut above the rest. There are moments on Euaru that definitely match up to the quality of Today Is a Beautiful Day, and if you already couldn't get enough of that LP, then I have a feeling that Nagi's 2013 full-length effort will be smooth sailing in and of itself. People such as her are greatly appreciated in a scene that's - quite frankly - homogeneous to a degree; a lot of folks in said domain can churn out fun stuff, but the enjoyment factor can only last for so long, you'd be foolhardy getting the impression that this is more than enough. Angel recommends: "Ao no Parade," "Helvetica," "Euaru," "Laterality," "Strange Attractor," and "Translucent".
