3. I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker

4. Hanabi Sky (Instrumental)

Hanabi Sky is Miho Fukuhara’s 5th single and was released on June 15, 2009.

Following the commercial and musical success of her debut album RAINBOW (it’s awesome!!!) Miho follows up with an aggressive rock song “Hanabi Sky.” When looking at her album, RAINBOW, Miho has dabbled in lots of soul and acoustic rock and pop. I’m so glad she has done this song because the power of her voice fits the power of the instrumental. Her astounding voice is backed by sweeping synth, riffing electric guitars, and banging drums. The chorus is especially uplifting!

The first B-side is “La La La FIGHTERS.” This is one of her more aggressive upbeat songs with some blaring brass, aggressive drums, and a catchy catchy beat. This is sooooo Miho for her soulful voice and is a great addition to the single whether it be on her next album or not.

Unortunately, the fun stops here. Her cover of Sandi Thorn’s “I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)” is….. eh at best. I have never heard her have a problem with English pronunciation despite that she is not bilingual. Except here… Frowers…. KILL ME! The rest of the song mimics the original and her vocals are good, but this cover holds her back…
