Nibiiro no Scenery —Brownish Gray Town— [40:05] Arranged by Nobuhiko Sato & Masanori Sasaji Ripped/scanned by me, scan fixing by Smithdanigans Forgot when I purchased this... definitely had to have been a few years ago or so. I came across this on YAJP when I was searching for more works that Masanori Sasaji was involved with—some additional research led me to discover that he was in charge of arrangement on this album (alongside Sato), so I went ahead and purchased it just for that Sasaji arrangement credit alone. Masanori Sasaji's pretty good at funk/pop/rock arrangements, so surely this album had to have been good, right...? Well, yes and no. It's not the worst thing I've listened to. The arrangements on here do sound high quality and there's a few tracks on here I really liked—"Welcome Rain" is a good mellow track and "Cathy Ram no Senaka" has some synths in it that just easily scream Sasaji. I guess my main issue with this album was that the majority of the tracks, otherwise, sounded mostly the same to me. Consequently I got bored of it pretty quickly :( Anyways, regardless of what I think, I'm putting it up online since the CD seemed to be difficult to track down at the time of purchasing. As of me writing this out there is an additional copy for sale on Mercari but there doesn't seem to be any other copies other than that... Enjoy...?
