Normally whenever I see the name Yoko Hikasa, I instantly think of the voice roles that she's handled throughout the years; Mio, Rias, Kou, Shino, Weiss, the list goes on. Quite the resume when one thinks about it. Anyways, this seiyuu/singer's full-length debut recording Couleur proves itself to be an enjoyable 55 minutes when all's said and done. At its core, the album bears a J-Pop sound, but scattered throughout are prominent hard rock motifs that help give the release an upfront edge - and given Hikasa's most popular role in the VA field, the rock elements really aren't surprising. Although a bit too consistent coupled with the revelation that it offers nothing new to the table, Couleur's still a fun album in general crafted by a woman who demonstrates more personality than the Eir Aoi's and LiSA's out there, so that kind of character has to count for something.
