Thanks for the review.

I was already sad when I learned of Kawai's death shortly after I'd first heard one of her songs ("Madoromi no Rinne" from Utawareru Mono, a song forever dear to me). It was only recently, however, that I began to learn how much the world of music truly lost in this tragedy.

Kaze no Michi e, also released in December, is a lovely memorial album, too.

I believe that Kaze isn't actually a memorial album, just the final album she had recorded before her death.

Small correction: Lumis Eterne was an insert song in Aria the Origination, not Aria the Animation. (In fact, the version with Alice/Ryou Hirohashi singing can be found on the OST for Origination.)

Either way, thanks for reviewing this album. It's a lovely little memorial piece to be sure.

Sora e from Strange Dawn should have been in this album, because to me that is her best song, in fact one of the best Japanese songs ever. Nevertheless I will check Himawari and Kaze no Michi e out.

RIP Eri Kawai. Her Aria songs have always been good for me.

Hi,

Thanks for the review as that was one of the most improbable album to be reviewed.

Comment:
- The cover was especially draw by Amano Kozue herself as a tribute to Eri Kawai.
- Part of the profit will go to WWF Japan.
- The album best rank on Oricon chart was 151st.

This is a new one for me, where the heck can I buy it? I've checked all my normal outlets (hell, I even looked on Amazon), but as it's not an Anime OST, or one of about 5-6 big J-pop groups, it cannot be found. Confused

As I write this I'm listening to the album-the opening from Aria-and it's beautiful-I'd never heard of her before-but I've heard the songs-sad to think she'll never release any more music.
