Review by Peter Malpas

Change 10th Anniversary Edition by Supercar: A J-Pop Rock Gem That Still Shines Released in 2007 under Ki/oon Records, Change 10th Anniversary Edition is a testament to Supercar's ability to blend rock and pop into something uniquely Japanese. With its roots firmly planted in J-pop, this album isn’t just another reissue—it’s an experience. The band’s lineup—Koji Nakamura on vocals and guitar, Junji Ishiwatari shredding the guitar alongside him, Miki Furukawa pulling double duty with bass and vocals, and Kodai Tazawa keeping rhythm on drums—delivers a cohesive sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The album boasts a mix of previously unreleased versions, live tracks, and fan favorites. Among these, two songs stood out for me personally: "Cream Soda" and "(Am I) Confusing You?" These tracks encapsulate what makes Supercar so memorable. Let’s dive into why they stuck. "Cream Soda," especially the previously unreleased version, hits like a fizzy summer drink. It’s light but not shallow, catchy without being cloying. The layered guitars create this shimmering wall of sound, while Furukawa’s vocals glide effortlessly over it all. What stays with you isn’t just the melody—it’s the vibe. Listening to it feels like cruising down a coastal highway at sunset, windows down, wind messing up your hair. There’s a bittersweetness there too, though, as if the song knows those moments are fleeting. And honestly? It’s kinda perfect. Then there’s "(Am I) Confusing You?" Another track with a previously unreleased version here. This one grabs you by the collar from the first chord. Nakamura’s voice drips with emotion, raw yet controlled. The lyrics feel like a tug-of-war between vulnerability and defiance—a theme anyone who’s ever doubted themselves can relate to. Musically, it builds beautifully, starting simple before exploding into this cathartic crescendo. If “Cream Soda” is the sunshine, this is the storm rolling in. Together, they showcase Supercar’s range brilliantly. Of course, other highlights abound. Tracks like “Planet -The End Of Childhood-” bring depth, while live cuts such as “Right Now (Live At Gigantic)” remind us how tight their performances were. But even amid all the polish, the album retains a certain scrappiness—a reminder that this band once started out making music purely because they loved it. Reflecting on Change 10th Anniversary Edition, it strikes me how rare it is for bands to revisit their work a decade later without losing their essence. Supercar doesn’t just revisit; they reinvent. They take old tunes and breathe new life into them, offering fans a chance to rediscover what made them fall in love in the first place. And here’s the unexpected part: listening to this album felt less like revisiting the past and more like meeting an old friend who’s grown wiser with time. Sure, some things have changed—but the heart remains the same. Isn’t that what great art should do?
