The release of FRONTIER comes in about a year+ since Hilcrhyme's previous album THE MC .
FRONTIER includes 10 songs , including Lost love song 【III】 & Lost love song 【III】 -Saretagawa- .
Track 2 Yumemiru Shojo Jairarenai ~Yumemiru Shounen~ is a rap cover of Aikawa Nanase's debut single Yumemiru Shojo Jairarenai .
Lost love song 【III】 was 1st released digitally on 5th May & it's described as a song about a sad woman's heart .
For Lost love song 【III】 -Saretagawa- , it was used as the ending theme song for the Saretagawa no Blue drama & 1st released digitally on 14th July , to coincide with the drama's release .
Unlike Lost love song 【III】 , the Saretagawa version was written from a male perspective .
Track 7 East Area -Kai- is a re-recorded version of East Area which is still 1 of my favourite Hilcrhyme B-sides to date & Yuiitsu Muni was already included in STAR ~Remake Best 3~ prior to the release of FRONTIER .
3 album tracks FRONTIER , Yumemiru Shojo Jairarenai ~Yumemiru Shounen~ & Yakousei all had videos made but they are all not included in the album's DVD .
Reaching the 10th album milestone with the release of FRONTIER , it's something that Hilcrhyme hard earned but for their latest album release , it feels a bit short changed to me .
FRONTIER feels like their self titled album 2.0 where the album structure for both is almost the same ie. re-recorded songs mixed in together with new album tracks which's very different from THE MC .
I think Hilcrhyme didn't want to go the mini album release route once more because if the re-recorded songs are excluded from FRONTIER , it would be as so .
Hopefully their next studio album would not be like this . If I still enjoy listening to THE MC , I don't see why they have to undertake this route again .
