現役女子高生シンガーの初ミニ作は、ロック・ガール的な佇まいのシングル群を引き継ぐ“青とオレンジ”もありつつ、SUPER BEAVERやsoulkids、Fed MUSICのメンバーを作家陣に迎えてよりポップ&カラフルな仕様に。特にaikoやSHISHAMO好きにヒットしそうなラヴソング“線香花火”は清涼飲料水のCMに似合いそうなフレッシュさ! テイラー・スウィフト“Mine”のシンプルなカヴァーも瑞々しい歌声を引き立てていて◎。

Sonoko Inoue "Senko Hanabi (meaning Sparklers)"
The first mini-album from this current high school girl singer is still in line with the previous rock-girl flavoured single songs such as “Ao to Orange (meaning Blue and Orange), though at the same time, is also given a pop and colourful touch by welcoming as songmakers, the members of rock bands such as SUPER BEAVER, soulkids or Fed MUSIC. Especially, “Senko Hanabi” is a love song that is bound to become a favourite for fans of pop singer aiko or girls band SHISHAMO, and is so fresh that it would be just perfect as a commercial song for some refreshing beverage! The simply done cover of Taylor Swift's "Mine" perfectly brings out the fresh and juicy singing voice of Inoue, - a track that deserves both thumbs-up!
