After debuting at No. 1 last week, Mr.Children’s album B-SIDE CD2 falls to No. 2 with 892,000, a sales slide of 97%. This twelve-song debut EP shows the promise that Mr.Children has. For older fans B-SIDE CD2 will put a massive smile accross your face. This is what good Pop: Japan should be.
The song feels complete. 08 my sweet heart is nothing but pure genius. 07 Japan title motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. 06 Japan title hits the heart. 05 Japan title is astounding and different song. 04 I’m sorry is a medium tempo tune. The opening track 03 Japan title 2001 is very much like you would expect from other albums. 02 Japan title actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on Mr.Children’s face. 01Japan title 1999 is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. 11 West remix stands out to me for its audacious melody and sheer beauty.
