FLY - Hauntingly Beautiful Piece of Music!

"There're basically 3 editions of Oshio Manabu (LIV) 4th maxi single. This edition is the Limited Edition version. (For image, please refer to the "customer images" section).



Produced by Manabu Oshio & Toru Minami, FLY was chosen to be the theme song for the Playstation 2 game "Chaos Legions". Oshio Manabu was also chosen to be the spokesperson and voice of the main character in the game. Once again, he has proven himself talented by co-producing the album and penning the lyrics of the songs, plus his voice is as unique as ever.



The songs are rather nice and inspiring, and I absolutely love FLY for its captivating music and sad but inspirational lyrics! In my humble opinion (and personal taste), FLY is a very beautifully haunting piece of music.



May I be happy forever is more upbeat than FLY, and the lyrics are kind of thought provoking in a very hip kind of way. This certainly suit younger generation well, but be warned that May I be happy forever also contains some vulgar words such as the f*** word. But then again, this is probably due to the American influence on Oshio when he was staying in the US.



Thinking of You is another lively and upbeat "love" song that you can sing along or dedicate to your love ones. : ) But don't be held back by the seemingly "Japanese" album as this album has more English words than Japanese words. :)



The Japanese Version of FLY (Limited Edition) also comes with a DVD. All in all, the songs in this Maxi Single are:
