A nice review. I love both tracks though, as Aprillis, I prefer HEART than PEACH. IMO the music, lyric and mood all blend and harmonize in this song. I remember listening to this song about 50+ times while trying to translate the lyric for my own web. Loving it until now. ^^ PEACH is good and fun and pleasant every time you listen to it, but to me HEART, in some way, is more than that.

Thanks for the clear up, zyzzyva. And Erika this review isn’t a disappointment, not at all! I really enjoyed reading it =)

I know, and I’m really sorry. I can edit the articles after it’s submitted, but I would need to know -exactly- what you would want me to say. So sorry for the confusion, and I’ll try not to disappoint everyone as much with my next review

Well, it wouldn’t make any sense to have the Single version of Ren’ai in this review. lol
Actually, my previous note was in response to what you wrote above:

“This song was used in the movie “Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru” and was released after PEACH/HEART as it’s own single.”

It’s just one word, but changes the whole sentence to its opposite. I was just hoping to help clarify for the new fans reading, but I guess you cannot edit your post after submitting it…?

keeptryin’ -sorry about that…yeah, I guess that’s sort of obvious now, in retrospect
Huyen-yeah, that one was very nice too
Aprilis-I will get right on that :)
zyzzyva-yes, I know RS-Haru is not the first version. The head blogger kindly uploaded those for me, and until I find a way to upload the files, I’m afraid we’ll have to stick with this version.

Thanks for your glowing review of PEACH/HEART.

However, like keeptryin’ noted, the giant pink inflatable is supposed to be a peach, like the song’s title/chorus. Also, Ren’ai Shashin was Ai’s 13th single, so it was released *before* this one. RS-Haru- is a second/alternate version.

Don’t worry, Aprilis., there was no First Press Bonus Track–just info regarding her upcoming concerts…

Wonderful article, thanks Erika! I actually prefers HEART over PEACH, because I find HEART more “original” and I love its smoothing sound.

I wasn’t aware that there was a bonus track for the first press. Can you give a little more info for that?

Ah, I love all these songs of hers.
I liked the older version of Renai Shashin though :\

Large pink flower out to sea? I believe it’s a peach… Oh my.

Writer’s note: Sorry that this one took so long, everyone. I really wanted to do a piece on Ai since we did dedicate this blog to her, it’s just that the timing was really quite unfortunate on this article, but I’m happy to get it out now. I just wanted to tell you guys that :)

thanks,
Erika
