This single was released on 29th of June, but since I listened to it only yesterday, I think I’ll write about it.
First things first.

Some information.
The uniqness of this single is that Erina herself plays the piano, which we can hear in the song. The single contains two tracks: Mano Piano and Mano Piano Instrumental.
Unfortunately, the album was availiable only at the handshake event and it is now being sold in some H!P shops, which means that there will be no overseas orders.
The cover of this single is simple, it features Mano Erina with large white with pink title and a bit smaller white letters with artists name and pink kanjis, with her name again. I liked it, because Erina looks very cute here. And also I liked it, because it’s made like this, nothing more, nothing less.
The song features the same simplicity as the cover does. It’s steady and yet beautiful song. Erina has a very kawaii-type voice. At JPH!P forum some people said that Erina sings too nasaly and with no expression or emotion. Well… I didn’t actually hear neither nasal voice(it was really kawaii-like), nor the lack of emotions, but this is only my opinion. I think she tries her best at this. And also I know how hard it is to play on the piano and sing at the same time, so I don’t think that we should blame everything on Erina.
I really liked that song and I hope to see more from Erina in future.
For your convinience I’ll embed two video-streams from youtube.com – one from the live handshake event and another – the single itself.
Live Event(sorry – no video, only pictures slideshow)
Mano Piano(once again – only slideshow)
I hope you will like it as much as I do.
