This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the Love EP by Hypo77. As you know, Hypo77 runs Tsukasa Records with inumoto out of Tokyo, Japan. The theme for this extended play is love. Think White Day. The front cover shows Tsukasa Hiiragi with heart-filled box of chocolates. Symbolizing that the present day is White Day. The album cover is quite abstract.
Valentine Love is a very ambient trance which turns into a mellow song. An ambient mellow trance. The pace is very slow but does not get fast. I love the ambient smooth melody on this song with the lyrics. The beats do match up with the lyrics indeed.
Hypo77's Mashup is the best Tsukasa Records mashup ever! It is quote beast along with the remix. The remixes are great! So is taw. Most of the artists do have an obsession based on Tsukasa. Inumoto is the brains behind Tsukasa Records along with 5 other people. Hypo77 being one of them.
The album cover is the face of purple haired schoolgirl Tsukasa Hiragii, a character from the Japanese otaku anime Lucky Star which is an international sensation. Her trademark signature is her yellow ribbon bow which is also the logo for Tsukasa Records.
Surprisingly the record label has not run into any copyright and trademark issues of the name or usage of the Lucky Star character Tsukasa Hiiragi. I don't know why. Gotta love that doujinshi culture!
I rate this EP, Love EP, 5/5*****!
