If I buy new CDs, there are a lot of CDs in my room and my drawer will become full with it. So, I rent it. My favorite singer is HY. They are good singer from Okinawa. My favorite song is “Nao” and “Song for・・・”. They are very good songs. The lyrics are very sad, but we can agree with it very much. Another my favorite CD is “ kurebaiinoni”. This song sung by KREVA.
