Memorial address's the 1st mini album released by Ayumi Hamasaki .
It was released 4 years ago in Japan in Dec 17th . You got 8 tracks on Memorial address EP & it is the best selling mini album by a solo female in Japan , and it has sold more than a million copies in Japan .
What's unique about Memorial address's that all the tracks with the exception of the album title , there's a music video which accompanies every song so it's pretty something . & with the exception of ANGEL's SONG & forgiveness , you can find the other 6 tracks in both her A BEST 2 -BLACK- & -WHITE- greatest hits compliation .
If you ask me there's not a single bad track on Memorial address & I realised only the 1st 2 tracks namely ANGEL's SONG & Greatful days are happy upbeat No.s while the rest of the tracks are quite angsty in the form of Because of You , ourselves . If not you get ballads such as HANABI ~episode II~ , No way to say & forgiveness . HANABI means Fireworks in Japanese .
I enjoyed Memorial address EP a lot but I was a bit disappointed that forgiveness didn't make the cut in her A BEST 2 greatest hits compliation tracklisting which I think it's a shame as I feel it's a beautiful song & many fans regard forgiveness as one of her more beautiful songs , with aspects of classical music overlying themes of sadness . No surprises since the melody was composed by her under the pen name CREA & the brillant D.A.I .
This mini album's a must grab & if you have some time to spare , go & check the video of ANGEL'S SONG , it's 1 of the weirdest videos from Ayumi & the video of ourselves's plain freaky , in fact I think it's 1 of the freakest videos from Ayumi to date .
It's funny but I used to hate ourselves for no apparent reason but after I saw her opening her most recent Countdown Live Best of Countdown Live 2006-2007 concert with that track , I really like it now !

# My music blog consists of JPop/Rock singles & albums reviews that I put my heart , efforts & soul into writing them as I'm disgusted with the way that JPop/Rock music is being treated/written/reviewed in Singapore so to the local media (yes you TEENS , Teenage Magazine & The Strait Times) , screw you all . I basically can write better JPop/Rock reviews , period
