All new songs

Leina's debut single

Long time no see guys^^

I'm always excited about the Winter Comiket releases, even though last year was quite lacklustre for my taste. 
A new original psychedelic trance album is very nice to get! I'm just a bit afraid of the English lyrics...the Comiket description says that all the lyrics are in english...scary
And we get a visit of a new guest singer...Satoh Asuka...from the vocal snippets on her twitter I have to say that I really like her voice. I'm sad but also not surprised that Airi is not included in this release. I guess this confirms that she is no longer with I've. 

And we also get the Debut Single of another Singer. Leina...hopefully she sticks around a bit and doesn't vanish after this single. I'm still a bit sad that marriage blue never got into the team full-time. The Comiket Description says that Leina is producing the whole thing on her own? I wonder how much I've Sound, if any, is included in her tracks. Still, I'm very excited about new music!

They announced the names of all the songs.

I think NAMI went to university to study English, so it's interesting that she will create the lyrics for F-ive elements. Hopefully this will give more hope that the lyrics will be good.

So, here are the Previews:

 To be honest I don't really like the Compilation Album from its Preview, but I also know that Trance-Songs are in general hard to judge only from previews. I just have to wait for the full thing. At this Point all the Tracks sounded the same.


With Leinas Preview I'm really happy. I really like her voice, it sounds very natural and soft. A great addition to the Vocalists, hope she stays. I was just wondering why they made such a cheap looking Cover for her Single when they were able to do a professional looking photoshop for the picture they included in the Preview Video?

Leina also started an official I've-Twitter account now :

I loved the concept of F-ive Elements. I surely hope the final product turns out well.

Leina's single sounds solid as well.

Both albums have been uploaded on Nicovideo:

I'm interested in both of these! Will give them a listen when I can.
