To be honest, Choucho's Crystal Box is the first utattemita album I've ever downloaded. I don't really know at that time if many utaite also release albums and I don't even know who the heck is Choucho. But now I'm feeling no regret.1. Silence
You'll first listen slow-flowing tunes and Choucho's soft voice. She doesn't sound if she got difficulties singing slow songs. Then you'll continue hearing drums in the songs in the middle of the song. After that, Choucho's going back to the slow parts. The interlude is kind of nice I'll say. I'm not really a fan of interlude because I like to wait for the vocals. But in this song it's enjoyable. The drums also nice, but I don't know in some parts I feel it's a bit off. All-in-all, in this song you'll hear Choucho's high toned voice. Kinda nice for a beginning song, isn't it?
2. エンプティBOX
This is a more easy-listening song from Choucho with her higher voice that the first song. It doesn't have drums and kinda slower. But I love the instrumental, mixed with Choucho's high and light voice. Sometimes you don't notice if the song already ends (well, I don't). The instrumental is kinda simple, just like that. So I think it shows Choucho's singing skills more. She doesn't fail, really.
3. Bitter&Sweet
This is my favorite song from the whole album. You'll get some country-song feelings at first (because there's.. a trumpet plays?). The it continues with Choucho's singing, followed by guitar plays until the end (except the interlude). The lyrics are kinda clear, even if you don't understand Japanese because the instrumental doesn't cover the vocal itself. The song isn't fast and I enjoy it.
