I'm pretty sure that I knew about Saeko well before The World of Narue, but I can't really where. Anyhow, she sings the ending to Narue no Sekai, which I enjoyed very much.

All the music in here is composed by Yuki Kajiura, the composer of BGM for Noir, .hack, Madlax, etc... Yuki plays the keyboard in all the songs and for some, she does even more. All the songs here show Yuki's style of music with heavy use of keyboard synthesizers, echoes, and reverbs and give a sense of presence (i.e. isn't elevator music).

I really like Saeko's voice. It's not too squeaky and soft, but still very feminine despite the energetic songs that Yuki writes for her. My favorite songs on here is of course, the ending to Narue no Sekai which is included, track 2 which is epitome Yuki with heavy echoes and reverbs, and the last track which I though was cute with the sound effects that make the song seem very impromptu and informal.

The CD comes with a special cardboard sleeve. I don't think it's a first pressing bonus like other CDs as it doesn't say on the sticker, but I'm not sure.
