It is a lot more dance oriented then some of her other CD's. Most of the songs on this CD has a good "club" beat. Track 3 is somewhat more "bouncy" as the name implies. This CD is a collection of all her A-side singles prior to 1987. (Ray Tang: rtang@kingcong.uwaterloo.ca) Corrections.

CD is gold coloured rather then the usual silver. Comes with a sticker. Nice picture in front, but not only 2 in the song book. Comments: As the name implies, this CD has plenty of ballads. You get over an hour of Miho's sweet yet sophisticated voice cruning out one love song after another. My favourites in this CD are tracks (1,2,3,6,7,8,12). I Know so what else is left? So I like ALL the songs! :) (Ray Tang: rtang@kingcong.uwaterloo.ca) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artist: Nakayama Miho Title: Mellow Production Co: King Record Co, Ltd Cat #: KICS 210 Release: 1992/6/10 Price: 3,000 yen Length: 56'57" (11 tracks) Track Data: 1 Mellow 2 aruki nasai 3 yukkuri My Love 4 platinum cat 5 silent 6 wasurenakutemo ii ja nai 7 jou netsu no kokoro 8 hanashi wo kiite 9 kiss kiss kiss 10 Treasure 11 Mellow (CM version) Goodies : The above album is provided by my friend and the following goodies are also provided by my friend : Right now, Miho finishes her national "Mellow Tour" concert in Japan (July- September 1992) and business in her T.V. ancient drama. She is starting a life of one general in Ancient Japanese. The drama name is "Nobunaga". Comments : The above album is provided by my friend and the following comments are also written by my friend : This is Miho's most recent album. The first come up single in this album is the title song but the song is not so mellow than the name because the song got a rock version. It adds a heavy guitar in this song but the effect is best. Matched with Miho's sweet voice created a special effect than you ever heard. In this album, Miho is also a producer and lylist. Most songs in this album were written by Miho. Like most Miho's album this one got a lot of soft music only two tracks in dance bit music. Most of the soft music makes you feel very enjoyable and relax especially for good listening at night. If you like good dance bit music, track 2 is the one you are looking for. It got a very funky music then makes you feel like to dance and also the lylist is very interesting. In this album, there is a photograph book. You can see many photographs of Miho taken in L.A.. By the way, you can find a soft version in Mellow by Mellow (CM version). This one got no more heavy guitar, only a soft music. My favourites in this album are 1,2,3,6,8,11.

Sea Paradise -OL no Hanran 7'26" 2. Panorama 5'38" 3. Amiageta Yume 4'42" 4. Anata o Sorahe Todoketai 5'26" 5. Ta * Ku * Ra * Mi 2'28" 6. Hoshi no Nusubito 6'04" 7. Blue Stone 5'05" 8.

All the pictures, including the lyrics, are viewed "side-way" from the booklet. Comments: This album contains the first ever song composed by Miho, and it is Panorama, the 2nd one in the album. The song is up-beat with nice arrangement to support the simple but good dance melodies from Miho. Again, Miho wrote most of the lyrics of the songs. Most of the songs are composed and arranged by KNACK, a band that performs with Miho during her yearly concert. My favourite: 1,2,3,4,9,10 The single and original album are released at the same day. Both are in black/white background. Miho does not put much makeup this time, all goes natural. Also, all photographs in the albums are viewed sideway. The songs are mostly in dance rhythm-based melody and most are arranged by ATOM and KNACK. I quite like it. Also, for the first time in her music career, Miho composes a song for herself and it is "Panorama", the 2nd song in the album. (Kelvin Tsang : 93tsangk@wave.scar.utoronto.ca)
