One more thing...

"I only have one thing to add to the other reviews. This version of "Nonstop to Tokyo" is actually different from the album version (on "Sa Re Japon"). On the album version the vocals are done by a man, and the tempo is slower. On this version, Maki Nomiya does the vocals and the tempo is faster. There are also other differences as well, besides the tempo. The album version has a cool, lounge feel to it, whereas this version has taht upbeat 60's pop sound you normally associate with Pizzicato Five."

OK for b sides

"The title track, "Nonstop to Tokyo" didn't quite catch my fancy, nor did the radio edit which is basically a shortened version. A bit too repetitive and not much melody.So that leaves the B-sides: Room service - easy to listen to in the loungy style Bossanova 3003 - Snippets of previous releases are mixed here, but not sustained enough and it's all over the place... Mademoiselle - Upbeat and funky.All in all, if you're a collector it may have some value, but for others I'd suggest getting their US released (and much cheaper) albums first. As a side note, the special packaging is rather annoying to use and I accidentally ripped mine, at least the packaging for the combination spaciale EP was more sturdy."
