Rapping ahoy! 5

OH what a joy to have Lead rapping again! I've been anticipating this release since the promotional video came out and I'm glad to say that I'm not in the least disappointed.
Virgin Blue is fast paced and has a strong beat in the background. While it is in some ways different from their previous releases, it's done in a way that's so exclusively Lead-style. The vocals in this song are excellent and this song just makes you want to get up and mirror Lead's dance steps. A VERY fun song indeed.
Cosmic Drive, in short, just makes you want to groove along to the tune. I can't exactly pinpoint just WHAT is it that makes this song so enjoyable but what I can say is that the vocal variety explored in this song really shows how much their vocals have improved.
All in all - one of my favourite releases from Lead~

Dance dance eurobeat! 5

It's a pity if you don't buy this single seeing as it is one of the coolest stuff I've ever listened from Lead.Virgin Blue may be a short time-lenghted song but it promises you a happy and funky sensation.Cosmic Drive is not disappointing either.You can hear how matured their vocal are now.So, two thumbs-up!

LEAD 4

Lead, consisting of 4 young and capable boys, named Nakadoi Hiroki(leader), Taniuchi Shinya, Furuya Keita and Kagimoto Akira. Average age of 18! Officially made their debut in July 2002, with their maxi single titled "Manatsu no Magic" ! Before their debut, they gain experiences through street performances. Hip-hop and break dances are their forte! Was voted as the most handsome boy group of Japan. Not only they have the look, but the quality of an artise as well! Despite that they do more on Hip-hop, they prove themselves capable of other music types. Such as released of their 8th maxi single,titled "Atarashii kisetsu he". A ballad that successfully clinched the top 20 of Japan's oricon chart!! Also, despite of their tender age, they have already held 2 live tours in Japan, and will be holding their third one coming this year!! Having release 3 albums and 10 singles, they are definetly a group one should listen to! "Virgin Blue", their newest release, originally sang by Sally in 1984 was a big hit. Now that they decided on this challenge, they prove their talents and standards once again by entering the top 20 of Japan Oricon chart!! I've already bought mine... what about you?

Lead goes Eurobeat! 5

Lead releases yet another highly catchy single. True to Lead style, it is a high energy and upbeat song that will definitely get you singing along! This time the song has a very Eurobeat feel and so any Eurobeat fan will love this single! Support Lead and get this single!!

Virgin Blue 5

In my opinion, this is Lead's best single so far. A must buy, even if you aren't a fan of them.
By Leigh @UNITED KINGDOM (2006/04/08)

virgin blue~ uber awesome! 5

This is definitely one of the best singles from Lead so far. Virgin Blue has to be my favourite Lead single. Not because it is the newest, but because it is just simply the best in many ways. It has a new style, never before heard in any Lead songs and it can get you up on your feet and start dancing. The song is definately a style that they have never tried before, so they did step out of their comfort zone, and succeeded. It is upbeat and great to sing and dance to. The PV of Virgin Blue idea is great as well, it is very unique and the pv is a very vibrant one. It also gives the feeling of speed. The dance at the end of the PV is quite entertaining and very funky. Lead is very energetic. The coupling song, Cosmic Drive, my favourite track in this single, is also a fast and funky song. It's just one of those ones you can get up and dance to without worrying about your dance style and steps. Plus, Keita Furuya is very awesome in the PV and his voice just getting better and better. Overall, this is definately a must buy single, even if you're not a huge Lead fan.
