"Iravati" is the best of the best of all Hayashibara Megumi's albums. 
Perfect !! There's very differents kinds of atmosphere on this album who
 are very agreeable :

  - For "Iravati", she sing a new version of "Run All The Way", but what
 a version !! : after the theoric end of the song, this one continue for
 2 minutes around again, with a super performance of a Gospel chorus !! 


  - "Kokoro no Genshi Ni Modore" is very different : this song is very 
calm ; the lyrics talk about god and about the Bible, the melody is 
superb !!!! 

  - "Tamashii No Refrain" is the "Iravati" 's version of a Japanese 
popular song played by Youko Takahashi for "Evangelion". Megumi play 
this song as the Rei-chan's voice. Very relaxing song.

  - "Good Luck" is my 2nd favorite song of all Hayashibara's songs. The 
melody is perfect, purely and simply. Megumi did, once more again, give 
her best of herself for this song.

- "Maayaa" goes to close by a perfect maneer this album. Megumi prove to
 all of ourselves she's a very great singer.


You are understand. "Iravati" is the result of a superb work from Megumi
 and from King Records' musicians and chorus. You must have it !

"Iravati" is an Indonesian word. But, same as "Bertemu", I don't know 
the mean in English.

"Iravati" is the 8th Hayashibara Megumi's album.


My Top 5 ranking : 1, 2, 7, 13, 9.
