josilverdragon Good day to you, reader. Today's Album-A-Day was Janne da Arc's album, Gaia, released in 2002.
The thing I appreciate about this whole project of mine is that it gives me a chance to experience full albums of artists that I may have not spent a lot of time on based on how I came to acquire said music. Whether by fanmix, or someone offering a sample of the album, some of these I have never heard all the way through or only listened to maybe once or twice. That being said, when I had first been introduced to Janne da Arc, a lot of the reasons why I listened to some of the songs I did by them was due to my friend @kikuko_kamimura being a fan. Mind you, this is all the way back in 2004/2005 so it's been quite a long time and the band has since officially disbanded after being on hiatus for 10 years while the members worked on solo projects. My point in bringing the previous comment up is that I wasn't that fond of their music at the time. I was more in to Evanescence, Linkin Park, or even Gackt and Ayumi Hamasaki but it was nice to have a similar interest as Kiku, especially since she was one of my small group of friends. Not saying I didn't like their music, but it's that I liked their music less.
Fast forward to now, 16 or 17 years after the fact, re-listening to these albums means I get to enjoy them as the person I am now, and by golly gosh, I did enjoy this album. So many good songs and ones I remember adding to my playlist of liked songs at the time. Essentially, this whole thing is definitely a good decision.
Next up today for Music Shuffle Nostalgia, is Kirsty Hawkshaw's album, Meta Message (2005). At first I didn't recognise the album or the songs, but as I looked at the song listing and saw the name "Delerium", it clicked that I had bought (or downloaded? I can't remember LOL) this album because of a previous album by a group of people called Delerium. I liked their ethereal style, similar to Enigma's style and wanted to check out Kirsty because of how lovely her singing was/is. This is a good album, with a mix of great songs, collabs, and what have you. Definitely my style. I recommend it if you want to check it out.
That is it for my music listening today. Subscribe/follow whatever for more of this series and other random inconsequential tidbits of my life. Byeeee.
