sweet ticket is the first track of the album. No singing, just cello music. It’s about more than 1 minute. It’s kind of like an overture. It would be nice if it’s a song. The music makes a very nice intro.
Shinku no Fatalism is a bit of a fast paced song, similar to Kuroi Torikago and Maboroshi. But, these two songs are the only ones in the album with that sort of beat.
Kagami has a very nice chorus, it’s quite like a song where a girl asks the mirror questions. Which explains the title, meaning mirror.
The album version of still doll is different because the fourth verse (the one where she sang “Mou atashi kotoba o tsumugu…”) is added as the intro to the song, then the song continues as usual.
Maboroshi gives a somewhat empty and cold atmosphere. The string instrument arragement is as usual, very nice. It has a softer tone than Kuroi Torikago and Shinku no Fatalism.
Ennui kibun is very much like a pop song. A bit on the typical gyaru pop songs, but the music is nice. Not my favourite. You get to hear Kanon-san talk at the beginning before the song starts.
Monochrome frame has rather unique lyrics as there is no first person reference of the writer (no watashi). It’s a bit of a slow tempo but makes a great sentimental piece.
L’espoir ~mahou no akai ito~ is not a bad song. After the intro, she starts singing in French.
Shiroi kokoro is also not a fast paced song, similar to Monochrome frame. It features more use of the synthesizer, but not as much as Ennui kibun.
sweet dreams denotes the end of the album. It is like music from a music box.
Conclusion: Most of the songs in the album are short, even at most, the duration is about less than 5 minutes. If you like the songs longer, you may find this album not to your satisfaction. Music arrangement is great but still, it might be a little frustrating if you really enjoy a song and wish it could be longer.
