hitomi - Go to the Top [Slim case release]

LOVE LIFE is the debut album by hitomi.

Vinnk's Take: This is the first album by Hitomi. Se had a kind of surprise hit single called "Candy Girl" that made her a household name. So they wanted to get an album out and rite this wave of success. The result is a kinda uneven album that I still adore. It has the 4 singles "Go to the Top" the aforementioned "Candy Girl" and 2 more hits called "We Are "Lonely Girl"" and "Let's Play Winter". These are all great but the rest of the album is mostly forgettable. I say mostly, because Track 3 is the epic "You Dirty Bastard". Call me childish, but I get some sort of perverse pleasure listening to sweet-voiced Hitomi try to sound angry on this track. I should be linking the video of "Candy Girl" but I'm going to link "You Dirty Bastard" instead. Fight me.
