Goodies:
Comments: "Blue Moon Blue" is used as the title number in the movie
"Pa-Te-O". My favorite song in this album is "The Days I Spent With
You".  I think she is one of the most popular "new music" artists, 
whose music is Europe-oriented/adult-oriented.

Comments:

Very good stuff!  Itsuwa Mayumi has a mature, slightly dark voice -- definately
not an "idol kashu".  She also wrote the music and lyrics for all the songs
on this album.  A lot of the songs are kind of dark and sad, but they are
perfect for her voice.  If you don't like the squeeky "idol" style, and want
someone with depth and talent, this album is certainly worth a try.
