The entire album is a banger. I love KOTOKO and most of their old works "covered" in this album are amazing, but what I find most interesting is that all these versions sounds with the same esscence as their originals but completely modernized. Usually you'll find big differences between remakes that always will favor the old ones by nostalgia or because new versions of songs tend to catch younger audiences, but I can't say that in this case. Everything feels like what it is: Music from KOTOKO and I love it.
Still one of my all time favorite songs. Love this remade version. Hearing the original in my first non-mainstream anime, Onegai Teacher really takes me back to the early 2000's and was my gateway to becoming the weeb I am now
Onegai Teacher and Twins have some more songs that are less known but also very good. There's the Onegai Twins complete soundtrack with bonus song Photograph (Satou Hiromi), the image vocal album with many songs, and Onegai franchise 10th anniversary single with Kaiki Shinsei recurrent nova and Natsukaze Nostalgia (KOTOKO & Satou Hiromi)
This song is the one of the most significant for me personally, because it is one of those first songs that sparked my interest towards Japanese music, and Japanese language in general, back in 2007 or 2008. First I've heard it brilliantly performed by the magnificent Yoko Ishida-SAN. Eternal glory and respect to great Japanese musicians! 🤍❤🤍 👏👏👏 🎆🎆🎆
2002 vibes. The first time I heard this song when I was 16 and now I'm 37. I remember my high school days where I could freely watch anime and read manga every day.
It's memories of "Onegai Teacher" all over again. This song introduced me to KOTOKO and her amazing talent--pretty much solidified her superstardom. This version is so crisp, ultra-clean and simple, though, with the guitar riffs, the interlude is understatedly badass. I love it!
Apparently this album is celebrating Kotoko's 20th anniversary called 'Redecorate Myself' which includes re-recorded and re-arranged tracks. It was just released today too on 13 Sep 2023 for the CD version, though this was uploaded yesterday. Onegai Sensei is one of my favorite anime and this version is wonderful! So glad you're still singing to this day Kotoko!
If the one and only you in this whole wide universe will be by my side, even the broken hands of time will eventually start to move, little by little, towards the future Please stay the same as you are
