ORDINARY VENUS - ORDINARY VENUS


ORDINARY VENUS was a pop duo, fronted by 西脇彩華 (who previously sang with the idol group 9nine). the other member of the band was the brilliant 石井秀仁. so, while this is clearly a pop album of the highest order, it still has new wave and post-disco influences, courtesy of the cali≠gari vocalist. the songs here are very kawaii, and very genki. it almost feels like an idol denpa record.

i think the highlight for me on this album would have to be the opening track "I Don't Know !" or the epic ninth track, "Dream Rush". they're both so perfectly crafted, i feel like i could listen to them a million times without getting bored.


1. I Don't Know!
2. 赤道小町ドキッ
3. 白いパラソル
4. 慟哭
5. 愛が止まらない
6. はいからさんが通る
7. CHA-CHA-CHA
8. スローモーション
9. DREAM RUSH
10. 夏色のナンシー


ENJOY
