GIFT of SMAP
UPDATE (August 12, 2012): Bump for release week!
SMAP’s 20th album will include four compositions by Kanno. Say what you will about the vocal skills of SMAP, but the two songs we already know of, Sakasama no Sora and gift, are actually well-composed. The two new versions of gift in this release are interesting, since the lyricist is not mentioned in the credits. Could they be instrumentals, or humming? The Pre-order Only version is very extravagant though, one disc per song?!
