I can't really say much about this album. The production is immaculate. The use of both the Japanese and Armenian languages works extremely well in this album's favor. The vocals are fantastic. I feel like I'm transported to some far off, remote village whilst listening to this album. An absolute must listen.

For the American release of Playboy & Playgirl...

Besides "Fanfare", all of the tracks off Lovetheism are pretty great to fantastic. "Pink Unicorn" is among one of my favorite songs from Haru. Overall, this is a worthy follow-up to her debut album.
