Nonbiri… in Japan, the word can describe a person who is easy going or care free and when you hear the phrase “Nonbiri Mode”, it means that you are feeling cool, easy or just a person that is just chilling out.
So, what best than to have a compilation album that is part of Sony Music Direct (Japan) Inc.’s latest compilation series “Holiday Tunes” for 2011.
For this compilation album, it’s music for those in “nonbiri mode”, perfect for the spring or summertime, this compilation features a total of 32 tracks (16 full-length songs per CD) and features hits from Orange Range, CHEMISTRY, Do As Infinity, BONNIE PINK, DEEN, EVERY LITTLE THING, CHARA, The Brilliant Green, Sharan Q to name a few.
For me, it was a blast to hear songs from the ’90s and early 2000’s and a good range of upbeat music to even ballads such as Chisato Moritaka’s “Kaze ni Fukarete”. But for me, songs that I listened to a lot were ORANGE RANGE’s “Hana” , BONNIE PINK’s “Heaven’s Kitchen”, Chisato Moritaka’s “Kaze ni Fukarete”, Ken Hirai’s “Rakuen”, Sarunganseki’s “Shiroi Kumo no youni”, “CHARA’s “Yasashi Kimochi”, the brilliant green’s “There Will Be Love There” and EVERY LITTLE THING’s “Deatta koro you ni”.
But really, there are many songs on this compilation that will attract various audiences because it’s so diverse with many popular music hits and various music styles.
Personally, It’s hard to review compilations because the artists featured are subjective to those listening and whether or not they like the music as you get rock and pop music.
But for those who are familiar with ’90s and early 2000 J-Pop, you will no doubt find this compilation fun and enjoyable! And the fact that it’s not just artists from Sony but artists from various labels is pretty cool and for the most part, these songs are truly nonbiri mode tracks and perfect for spring and summer.
The CD comes with a lyrics booklet for each song and a slipcover case.
Overall, this compilation album has something for everyone but will probably appeal mostly to those who appreciate Japanese music hits from the last 20-years.
