Search - Yui Horie :: Ho?

A Cute Album from a Cute Voice

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Yui Horie has one of the cutest voices as a seiyuu. The album is a collection of theme and character song bests from various Japanese anime and TV shows, such as Love Hina, Fruits Baskets, and Kurogane Communication. My two personal favorites are Track 2: My Best Friend and Track 4: Like the Sky. The last two tracks in the album are remakes of Love Hina songs unique to this album. Playing time 77:45.



The packaging is not your typical plastic CD jewel case. Rather, it comes as a hard cover book. The logo in front, the spine label, and the song listings on the back have that raised, business card-type lettering. Inside, the 32 glossy pages are saddle-stitched and filled with four-color drawings by Yui Horie and lyrics of all the songs (in Japanese, of course). The last page has a small, color photo of Yui. The inside back cover holds the CD, which has a silver, reflective background with artwork from the front cover repeated in white. A few millimeters larger than the standard jewel case, the "CD booklet" will definitely stand out among your other CDs on the shelf."
