Item description
Genki Rockets - Genki Rockets I: Heavenly Star is the debut album by virtual J‑pop/electropop music project Genki Rockets
Vinnk's Take: Genki rockets is a project by Game Designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Space Channel 5, Rez, Lumines) and music producer Kenji Tamai. And it is amazing. I first heard Genki Rockets music in Lumines and then in the Japanese version of No More Heroes (I heard some of the music was cut for the US release). It is electronic pop with what we would describe now as a virtual Idol. Even though all vocals were performed by a real and very talented human, there was amazing world building for the singer described as "a fictional 17-year-old girl named Lumi who was the first human born in outer space on the International Space Station". All that aside, the music is fantastic and so are the videos on the DVD. I have linked one below. I love this group, but see for yourself if you dig it.
Track list:
1. "Prologue: Earth Rise" 1:45
2. "Breeze" 3:28
3. "Smile" 4:23
4. "Star Line" 3:59
5. "Heavenly Star" 3:58
6. "Intermediate: Orbit Swimming" 3:13
7. "I Will" 4:17
8. "Star Surfer" 4:37
9. "Never Ever" 4:34
10. "Fly!" 4:31
11. "Star Line (Japanese Version)" 4:00
12. "Breeze: Summer Afternoon Mix" 4:31
13. "Breeze: Star Breeze Mix" 5:28
DVD
1. "Heavenly Star (Music Clip)" 4:00
2. "Breeze (Music Clip)" 3:56
3. "Star Line (Music Clip)" 4:10
4. "Debut Live at Live Earth: 2007.07.07" 4:46
This CD has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual CD I am selling. Audio CDs from Japan have no region coding so they will play in any standard player. The DVD on the other hand will need a region 2 or region free player (or some software on a computer)
CDs will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, I ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.
