Finally, the CMYoko online album has been released. I never thought it was possible to make a release such as this, considering the differing companies that commissioned the music, distribution rights, and what not. I wonder how the royalties were distributed. Now we get to hear the CM samples in the Grand Funk Inc website in higher quality

Most of the CM songs are in lengths that have been previously presented in Grandfunk.net, but there are some that are longer. Notable among these is the Exaelitus Toyota Lexus CM sang by Origa. Nice!

Walk Travel Along sang by Gabriela for Tombow Pencil is presented here too. Pulseczar has previously submitted lyrics to this piece.

It is also notable that the songs that sound like they were sang by Gabriela are listed under Samply Red. Hmmm. There is just one female in Samply Red, am I not mistaken? Hmmm?

Some previously unreleased non-CM songs are also in this release. There’s Dear Blue from Suki da!, and the Mama Shinhatsubai! Opening theme.
