Btw what do you all think about the cover/s?
Looks like it's basically the same style like on the IM A SINGER cover, but in white color this time. Nothing spectacular. And personally... I don't like it at all. ^____^°
Regarding the track list: I looked up all these songs today, cause I was curious and I did not knew all of them. Toshi is actually really taking on only the biggest hits. Most if not all are the original singers greatest/most famous songs. So all are well-known by the japanese public and the album could have the potential to become really popular among the japanese fans. But then again... what do I know?

- CRYSTAL MEMORIES is also a song from Toshi himself:
- A cruel Angel's Thesis is the opening to the famous anime Neon Genesis Evangelion:

- Yuki no Hana is a song by Mika Nakashima that was very popular in Japan and got covered by several other artists already:
- Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen... well we all know that one, don't we? ^^° And we already heard Toshi sing this:

- Oh my little girl was released after the death of singer Yutaka Ozaki and became his greatest hit:
- Kanpai by Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi is a song that became very famous throughout Japan in 1980, he originally wrote it for a friends wedding:
