Yesterday I just found out that Sweet Vacation released new album last month. The new album name is Kira Kira Pop!, which is not quite a new album because this album consists of song from 2 albums, ep and other remix version.

Sweet Vacation is a duo, which consists of Daichi Hayakawa (Sound Producer, Cho, Vocoder) and May (Vox, Icon)
Daichi met May in Bangkok, 2006 when Daichi was travelling around the world to research new style of music. In that time, May was the member of infamous idol group called “Preppy G”. Daichi was impressed by May’s voice and sense. The duo agreed to start making their original music.
About thier music style, I quoted from Sweet Vacation‘s myspace, “Their music is basically pop and is heavily influenced by the latest club music. It also has retro new wave and rave essences, like Trevor Horn. Their sound’s themes are “sweet” and “vacation”. May‘s cute voice and Daichi‘s good sound and their special performance take you into a colorful, dreaming world!!”
After listening thorugh the album, I was catched by one song, which is Summer Day (Ver 1.0). The intro of the song begin with background rythm of piano and percussion. May‘s voice is light and bright, which go along with upbeat music from Daichi. If you like Techno pop music with nice vocal from cute voclaist, Sweet Vacation is the answer.
Here is the official music video from Sweet Vacation.
Enjoy!
PS. After checking from Sweet Vacation official website, I could not find and informatiton about this album. It seems like this album only release in Korean, Taiwan and Thailand. For Thailand edition, you will get 3 songs (Sexy Girl, I Feel So Good and Summer Day (Ver 1.0) in Thai language.
