AKIHIDE's latest solo album originally was supposed to be released physically on 23rd Oct . Instead , 23rd Oct became the album's digital release date .
Fortune serves as the sequel to AKIHIDE's previous album release Three Stars . This's AKIHIDE's 2nd release to get a Blu-ray version & just like his past album releases AKIHIDE wrote and composed the entire Fortune album .
Songs in Fortune which featured AKIHIDE singing in them include :
1) Into the Story
2) Fortune
3) Violet & Blue
4) Undersea
7) Kitto , Zutto
8) Kaze ni Nosete
9) Hoshi no Komori Uta -Goodnight Song-
10) CD regular version - Nagisa no Futari
A video was made for Undersea but it's not included in the physical release of Fortune .
The 2 CDs limited version of Fortune contains a 2nd CD titled In the "LOOP WORLD" vol.2 -Three Stars- .
In the "LOOP WORLD" vol.2 -Three Stars- features 8 songs (1 from Kikai Jikake no Yuenchi -Electric Wonderland- , 6 from Three Stars & 1 from Fortune) which AKIHIDE rearranged & recorded them in an original style using the loop pedal just like what he did for the 2 CDs limited version of his 8th album LOOP WORLD :
1) Singing in the Starlight
2) Uso
3) the Burning Star
4) Ao no Matsuri
5) Kaerazu no Mori
6) Shironeko no Rendezvous
7) Undersea
8) Ghost
Just like all of AKIHIDE's past solo releases Fortune is another great release that I enjoy tremendously . It's easy to hear & see why Fortune is a Three Stars sequel because some of the songs in AKIHIDE's latest release do feel and sounded like they could have been included in his previous album release .
This's the 1st time AKIHIDE decided to make a back to back album sequel release so in a way it's not surprising Fortune at times have some musical overlaps from Three Stars .
As for In the "LOOP WORLD" vol.2 -Three Stars- I also enjoy it a great deal & it's so nice to hear the songs in the 2nd disc of Fortune in a very different music style especially the ones from Three Stars .
Ever since AKIHIDE started releasing his own solo music in 2013 I have never been disappointed in anything he released . This might sound biased on my part but seeing that his art & music creativity have no boundaries I'm sure his next music release will be something I will like .
And Fortune is no exception .
