Dream Ami トライ・エヴリシング Try Everything - Single Review (CD Only)

Another beautiful single release from Dream Ami for today's music review. Her singles always have the most gorgeous designs to them and the colour palette of this one is to die for. Loving all the pastels and touch of the green on the cover. The focus for this review is トライ・エヴリシング Try Everything and as usual I will be reviewing the CD Only edition as that is the edition I always collect.

トライ・エヴリシング Try Everything is the second single from Japanese solo artist Dream Ami. It was released on April 20th 2016 with the digital version being released a few days earlier on the 15th. The single came in three editions: Limited CD+DVD, CD Only and One Coin CD Only. The One Coin edition was only available through selected online shops and has a lovely close-up photo of Ami on it. トライ・エヴリシング Try Everything is the Japanese version of the song with the same name from the Zootopia movie. The original was sung by Shakira and it actually had a few translated versions around the world. Of course I got the CD Only edition and I brought it from YesAsia. It came with the following contents:

• CD - 6 track single
• Jewel case
• Outer sleeve box
• Lyrics booklet
• Promotional flyers

Dream Ami はやく逢いたい Hayaku Aitai - Single Review (CD Only)

Onto another Dream Ami CD review today and this time it is her single はやく逢いたい Hayaku Aitai. All her singles and albums had stunning designs and I love the pastel tones. The singles look perfect next to each other especially the earlier ones that had similar colour schemes. This post will look at the CD Only edition of the はやく逢いたい Hayaku Aitai single.

はやく逢いたい Hayaku Aitai is the fourth single released by Japanese singer Dream Ami. It was released on March 22nd 2017 and came in three editions: CD+DVD, CD Only and One Coin CD. Dream Ami's physical releases always had such beautiful colour schemes and aesthetics. That was one of the main reasons I would collect them. I brought my copy from YesAsia and the plastic sleeve has a nice promotional sticker detailing the single. The back cover of the jewel case has a different photo to the cardboard sleeve which is a nice surprise. There is a repeat of the back cover image though on the lyrics booklet.

Dream Ami Good Goodbye - Single Review (CD Only Edition)

Dream Ami's latest single Good Goodbye is finally here so it's time for a review. I love reviewing her singles as they are always aesthetically beautiful and have great tracks and instrumentals. Good Goodbye is no different so let's take a look!

CD Only Edition of Good Goodbye

Good Goodbye is Dream Ami's eighth single and was released on January 30th 2019 as a digital single and on March 13th 2019 as a physical single. The single is available in two editions: CD+DVD edition and CD Only edition. This is the second Dream Ami release to only have two editions and I'm guessing it will be the standard from now on. Not sure if rhythm zone has dropped the One Coin editions as I haven't seen them for other E-girls releases either. I got the CD Only edition as it's the usual one I collect and it comes with the following contents:

• CD - 6 track single
• Lyrics booklet
• Jewel case
• External bonus from CDJapan - A3 sized poster

CD Only Edition of Good Goodbye

 The concept for this single is super fun and has Ami portraying six different images of her self in the MV and single photos. I loved this concept and the bright colours of the single design. I think yellow always looks great on releases and it matched well with the pink tones. Now to talk about the one thing that I hate about this release - the removal of the cardboard sleeve. All of Dream Ami's other CD Only editions have come with a cardboard sleeve which you will know about if you read my other reviews of her releases. This was my favourite part of the single design and it was great when it had a different image to the jewel case design. The sleeves were always had that beautiful matte feel and gave the singles an elegant look. Now without the cardboard sleeve, this single looks out of place with my other Dream Ami releases. I did some searching on Instagram and it seems the CD+DVD edition has the cardboard sleeve but not the CD Only one. Not sure why this is the case as both editions have always had the cardboard sleeve in the past. No clue why rhythm zone went with the removal of the sleeve but I feel they've been dropping the ball with the quality of her releases lately. Waiting to see what the editions of her next release are like and then maybe I can work out if rhythm zone is just cheaping out on releases now. Anyway here's some pictures of the back of the single showing the 6 tracks included on the CD Only edition.

The cute dots design continues on in the interior of the jewel case. The CD design is super adorable and is simple yet stylish. Underneath the CD is some production credits and a photo of the bench from the MV and promotional material. At least I got a OBI strip with this edition which makes up a little bit for the lack of cardboard sleeve as I do love me some OBI strips. I don't know what it is about them that I'm so crazy about, but I just find them so interesting and get excited whenever I buy a used CD and it includes the OBI strip.

Dream Ami Wonderland - Single Review (CD Only Edition)

Since Dream Ami has just announced her eighth single Good Goodbye scheduled for release in March, I thought it was the perfect time to finally post a review of her last single Wonderland. I brought the CD Only edition of the single last year but have yet to post about it on Marzipan Wonderland. And talk about amazing, the single has the same word in it as my blog name. It was like fate brought us together ♥♥

CD Only Edition of Wonderland

Wonderland is Dream Ami's seventh single and was released in October 2018. The single is available in two editions: CD Only and CD+DVD. This is the first Dream Ami release to only have two editions and there is no One Coin editions like her previous singles. I got the CD Only edition as that is the usual edition I currently collected from Dream Ami. The single comes with the following contents:

• CD - 4 Track Album
• Lyrics Booklet
• Jewel Case
• Cardboard Sleeve
• Plastic Sleeve with promo sticker

Wonderland single in the plastic sleeve

This single brings a new colour scheme to Dream Ami's releases which is a beautiful lilac purple. All her previous releases have been in the tones of pinks, blues and reds. I just cannot choose my ultimate favourite single design as they are all so wonderful, but this one would definitely be tied for first. The aesthetics of the single still have her signature pastel tones and the cardboard sleeve has that elegant matte feel to it like all the other singles. Dream Ami has the best single/album designs out of all the artists I collect honestly. They always put so much care and thought into designing them and they are a billion times better than some of the awful E-girls covers she was in. The front cover of the cardboard sleeve and jewel case have different photos which is nice. Wonderland has the same photo on both back covers though unlike previous releases which had different ones. The photos included in the single are inspired by the miniature concept of the MV for Wonderland.
