The theme for today was 'An otufit inspired by your favourite musician/band' and I was excited for this theme. It was a challenging one not with trying to find an outfit, but with trying to pick an artist to theme an outfit from. If you have been following my music posts, you will know that I have many favourite music artists and groups. But I decided to go with my number one favourite solo artist, Dream Ami. Previously I reviewed Dream Ami's single Lovefool Sukidatte Itte which is one of my favourite singles by her. So I decided to theme the outfit around an outfit she wears on the single cover and promo material. Here are some pictures of Ami I used for reference and the short version of the MV for the song if you are interested in hearing the song.

I kinda already had an idea of the outfit I wanted to create once I decided on using Dream Ami as my inspiration. Since this is one of my favourite singles, I already knew an outfit in the game that matched her outfit. There is a dress from Chorale that matched the appearance of the red dress Ami wears. Whilst the sleeves aren't the same length, the off the shoulder appearance of the dress matches Ami's. For the shoes, I just choose some generic red heels and I got my character's hair done to match Ami's hair style.
A while ago I purchased a few Japanese Pop CD's from YesAsia and I've finally got around to posting a review on one of them. One of the CD's I brought was Dream Ami's Lovefool - Sukidatte Itte Single and I'm in love with this single. Ami is my favourite Japanese solo artist and Lovefool is one of my favourite songs from the 1990's, so I just had to get this single to hear her version of the song.
The single is available in three different editions: CD+DVD Edition, CD Edition and limited One Coin edition. The One Coin edition was only available in Japan through the mu-mo store, the LDH mobile shop and the E-Girls Family Official shop. I brought the CD edition as I wanted the instrumentals of all the songs. The single features the following tracks:
Lovefool -好きだって言って-
じゃあね
JUMP!
Lovefool -好きだって言って- (Instrumental)
じゃあね (Instrumental)
JUMP! (Instrumental)
The title track of the single is Lovefool which is a cover of the Cardigans song from the 1990's. It features some of the original lyrics, but mainly features Japanese lyrics. The song has more of pop feel to it than the original version and Ami's voice sounds amazing. じゃあね (Ja Ne) is a beautiful love song and JUMP! is Ami's first self-penned song. JUMP! has an upbeat feel to it and reminds me of older J-Pop songs. The instrumentals of each song are great and I'm happy they were included on the album. The Lovefool one is my favourite. Now onto the single itself. The jewel CD case comes in a cardboard slip sleeve cover and the single came in a plastic cover which I was over the moon about. I love getting CD's with plastic sleeves as it helps protect them whilst being stored. But this particular plastic cover has this amazing silky feel to it. There is also a sticker on the plastic sleeve detailing the single. The cover of the cardboard sleeve and CD insert are the same image of Ami on the heart couch.
The back cover of the cardboard sleeve and jewel case are different. The cardboard sleeve features Ami on the heart couch again with the tracks listed across the top whilst the jewel case one has a close up with the tracks in a vertical list.
Inside the jewel case, there is a beautiful rose coloured CD to match the aethestic of the rest of the album design. The insert features the lyrics to each of the three songs on the single and an flyer advertising EG Family and rhythmZONE artists.
