Well I have been listening to both cover albums since they debuted in mid October and I have to say that I really love them.
Doru Hen is a really cute album with an 80'-90's idol pop sound.
The CD was made to look like an old mini lp record and the pics of all the "Shococos" (Shokotan's "alter egos")are vibrant and fun.
Shokotan's voice has really matured and you can hear it clearly in these new albums.
The first time I listened to them I was like "Who is this person?" lol
She really lets her strong and tough voice come out on the rock album which demonstrates the versatility in her voice. She can be both sweet and tough ^_~
If you are into nostalgic Japanese music you will love these albums since they are covers for songs that were popular back in the day.
I wanted to talk a little about the Shococo's since I'm sure many are wondering why there is an army of Shokos.
The song はんぶん不思議 (Hanbun Fushigi) which was the official single and PV for the Doru Hen album is originally a popular song by the Japanese girl group "CoCo" in 1990.
Shokotan did a play on words and called herself ShoCoCo as well as also turn herself into a girl group lol.
As you can see each member had their own color assigned to them so they wore clothes in one particular color. We can see that with the Shococos as well. Here they are with a little information about each one:

Tsundere personality.
I think they are all very cute and I am torn between the Pink and Purple ones since they are my favorites.
I am curious to see which one is the top pick for everyone so I have added a poll (top right page). After reading about each personality feel free to vote on your favorite.
