Hi Mike,
I couldn't agree more with you on your thoughts on "Call me."
I've never had the courage to put "ai ai ai 100% pure love,"
and any other songs produced by H.S. for that matter, to my iPod playlist. this time the melody is pretty good, although the arrangement is very cheesy. but, i decided to load it into my iPod.
have to say this though, the covers of the limited and regular edition of "Call me" single are spectacular.
i bought the regular from Yesasia and bid the limited on Ebay.
yeah, i just have to have both :P
I really really hope i'll see one day a new song produced by seiko and ryo and arranged by toriyama yuji.
nothing can go wrong with these golden combination.
