太田貴子 - 200%

200% is an album by the idol-pop singer 太田貴子. unlike some previous idol-pop albums i've posted, this is indeed something with depth. the songs here are as bleak as i've ever heard in any idol-pop (it's level of crushing sadness is on the level of something like ｆｉｃｔｉｏｎ or G-Schmitt). almost every song here is filled with the most intense longing. if i was to relate it to another idol-pop album, i'd probably say it was most like Dancin' In The Light by 河合その子. this probably isn't quite as foreboding, but it most certainly comes close with songs like "The Changes You Give Me" and 忘れチャイナの青い鳥; dark melancholy behind visages of pop music.

(also, what a completely misleading cover.)
