Only Sun is a new song to me but apparently, all these songs were written by Harry a while ago.
The new arrangement of Heaven is simply perfect. I've been listening to Heaven for 2 years but I never get tired of this song, not mention there is a ballad ver going to be released soon!
Not only his talent in story telling through his songs, the songs he chooses to cover are just beautiful. I can't describe how good his sense is anymore!
The cd will be sold at comiket (prob the 3rd day) for 1000 yen, otherwise, it can be purchased from amazon for 1500 yen
There is one more release, which is from Riot of Color (ROC). The album is called Shuffle, which literally means that they shuffle to see who is singing what.
Riot of Color~ Shuffle
Riot of Color~ Shuffle

S!N covers KK's Diary!!!! Yep, S!N
S!N is famous for singing more energetic songs, those he can scream a lot. So hearing his ver of Diary is quite refreshing.
Ken-chan covers Left Behind (written by tilt-six), which is originally covered by kradness. Havent heard the original yet so can't really say anything, but as always, it's super super nice!
Moreover, Ken-chan has a duet with Natsushiro...a new song called Ending Teller, which is composed by Natsushiro and written by KK!
How to say it, this is the first time I listened to his duet and it was just stunning! I have absolutely no word to describe how beautiful this song is!
The album will be sold at comiket for 1500 yen and at Tsutaya for 2160 yen.
I'm going to get Back of the eyelid for sure, but don't know if I can get ROC's one since they are selling it through Tsutaya....
Please do think of overseas fan like me and put everything on amazon or cdjapan...which is way better in term of shipping.
Too many in just one summer, beside, Ken-chan's live tour is coming up. Hope he has chance to rest properly!
