Wakana on musicĂserendipity TwitCast & other radio recordings
So many awesome goodies today!! I have recordings for you and whatâs even more important, we got THREE album songs (all of them are ballads)!!! BANZAI!!!! Proper reviews will follow later but at first listen my favourite is Kinmokusei. Itâs awesome!! So traditional and perfect for Wakanaâs voice. I am 100% in LOVE!! My second favourite is Nagareboshi I think, it sounds like a lullaby. Very beautiful. Kioku no Hito is very simple (just like Nagareboshi) but I love how Wakanaâs voice conveys so much sadness and longing during certain lines. Itâs heartbreaking. After listening to it again and again I think I like it even more than Nagareboshi.
Bounce Beat: During the first part in the background we hear the studio version of Tsubasa I believe (it sounds a bit different than the live ver.). Then Toki wo Koeru Yoru ni. And then track 5 of the album ~Kioku no Hito~ (which was written by YĹŤko AndĹ)!! They are talking way too loudly tho so you canât hear the songs properly. At the end we get a full version of track 8 ~Kinmokusei~ (Wakana has written the lyrics for it)!! It is also mentioned that Ruriiro no Sora was written/composed by Satomi/Ryoki Matsumoto but we already knew that. Wakana explains that she wrote the lyrics for a total of six of the 11 songs. So I guess now we have a confirmation. Some of the lyrics (inlcuding the ones for Ruriiro no Sora) were written by someone else. RKB Oto Navigation: This is a pretty short program. Nothing much is happening during this program. The usual talk about Wakanaâs plants obviously. And at the end we get a full (or seemingly full) version of track 4 of the album ~Nagareboshi~ (another song that was written by Wakana AND she also plays an instrument in the recording - she doesnât say which one though).
LOVE FMămusicĂserendipityă TwitCast & Full radio recording: Wakana talks a little about how she really likes the ring of her name (on being asked about the album title). Then there is some talk about Wakanaâs camera âWakameâ which she brought along to the recording. What follows is a full version of track 5 ~Kioku no Hito~ (which as we already know was composed and written by YĹŤko AndĹ). Itâs cute to hear Wakana sing along to herself in the Twitcast. Once again we have the studio version of Tsubasa playing in the background and Wakana explains how this song like no other track is very representative of her current state. Wakana says there are a lot of lullaby-like songs on this album. According to Wakana the best song to listen to while sleeping is âToki no Neâ. [Turns out âToki no Otoâ is actually read as âToki no Neâ; I am glad the moderator also got it wrong and I wasnât the only one]. Then they are talking about Kinmokusei and Wakana recommends everyone to listen to it while taking a bath. Not sure what song is playing in the background here, I am guessing itâs Toki no Ne...At the end they are playing the full version of Kinmokusei again.
FM FukuokaăHyper Night Program GOW!!ă: We start with a full version of Toki wo Koeru Yoru ni. In the background we have some songs playing again. Tsubasaâs studio version is playing during the beginning and for the first time we can hear it properly. There are some back up vocals if I am not mistaken. Then some talk about Wakanaâs âcute pinkâ camera again (and sharks). The next background song is Kioku no Hito. While the song is playing they are talking about the upcoming album and how it conveys a lot of confidence and strength. The female moderator and Wakana are fangirling over YĹŤko AndĹ. We transition to Kinmokusei and during this song they talk about Wakanaâs spring tour. Wakana then reveals that the title of the tour is âVOICEâ. She chose that name because she wants the tour to be all about her voice. Lastly, we get Nagareboshi again.
