Recording of Maeda's New Original Album Has Commenced!

You may or may not be surprised to hear many a Jun Maeda fan express their opinion that his greatest works are found in his musical writing: Production, compositions and lyrics. Having worked on two very deep concept albums, Love Song (2005) and Owari no Hoshi no Love Song (2012)

This us a definitely interesting project he has up his sleeve and I’m expecting, as always, a meaningful story behind the songs of this upcoming album :smiley:
So… Any guesses on this “perfect” vocalist?

Aoi Ta-- //kick’d (I love you though)

Looking forward to hear this :slight_smile:

I hope this album will just be simple songs about things like life and emotions and all that. I am a fan of the second album where Yanagi Nagi collaborated with Jun Maeda, but I definitely prefer for Maeda to write an album with songs that don’t tell a story (especially if no ones gonna adapt them sadly). His writing for these simple songs are quite better.

I don’t think it’s Lia, nor Aoi Tada. I feel like their voices are more suitable for noteworthy OP/ED/Insert Songs.

I hope it’s not Anri if he’s planning to do many Hard instrumental songs. Its already been shown with End of the World that Anri’s voice is too soft for those type of songs (and Jun Maeda loves making those type of songs). But I’d definitely want her if he’s making many mellow songs, because her voice excels there. I mean, Kimi No Moji and the song that she did alongside End Of The World is quite beautiful with her voice.

I am 95% certain that it’s Anri Kumaki though. When he was making Love Song 2, he worked with Yanagi Nagi. He only knew of Yanagi Nagi through working on Rewrite. So we can assume that the singer of the album will most likely be someone affiliated with Key. 2% of my suspicion is on Runa, and 3% is on the girl who sung Towa No Hoshi E or the Angel Beats! 1st Beat ED.

plot twist its a male singer

Another plot twist.
There would be 2 singers: male and female.

And, well, I know this is just speculating, but I would love to hear Mizutani Runa at vocals.
Aoi Tada is also up there on the list I wish was designated as a singer for this.

Is that going to be the official cover art? it looks like something drawn by Yoshitoshi Abe.

That’s art from the first Love Song. We don’t have anything on the new one.
