neolog TOHO's Best Album to date 4

Track by Track Review:
1. Secret Game -This song was kind of Blah(could even understand the lyrics and random french?)The song does improve upon listening to it many times. 3/10

2. FORCE -This song was another one that I didn't like to much but its slightly better then the first one. 5/10

3. どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう? (Why did I fall In Love With You?)-Who doesn't like this song? No One!! This is a beautiful ballad-One of many on this album. 10/10

4. Nobody Knows -The pianos nice in this one. Its not a ballad-Kind of a pop song. Junsu shines in this-you can hear him stand out even in the chorus. 7/10

5. Beautiful you -Another great song-beautiful guitar and vocals. 8/10

6. 忘れないで(Wasurenaide) -Beautiful stand out ballad plus Jaejoong wrote it! The vocals are awesome in this:D 10/10

7. 9095 - Jaejoong composed this one. It kind of has a new age feel to it. Very well done. 9/10

8. 呪文 -MIROTIC- Everyone knows this song so what can I say about it? The Korean version is better in my opinion-probably because I heard that version first. 9/10

9. TAXI -Another ballad. I love how they really get into this song vocally at the end. Great song! 9/10

10. Stand Up! -A pop song with some funk! LOL! Some of the words in the lyrics are made up but its a very enjoyable song to dance to. 9/10
11. Survivor -This one of the few songs that were singles that I don't like to much. The songs okay but thats it-nothing special. 6/10

12. Kiss The Baby Sky -I think Yunchun wrote and composed? this. I like this song but I don't know why. The rap is pretty good as well. 7/10

13. Bolero -The ultimate ballad!! I love each line and the vocals are beautiful-everyone was not just Jaejoong and Junsu! 10/10

14. ウィーアー! -I don't like this song and I have nothing more to say about it. 2/10

15. Take Your Hands-i.am.electro REMIX- This is one of those few songs in which the remix is better than the original. This song gets you jumpin'-its pretty cool. 9/10

16. Box in the ship -This song as a tropical feel to it. I like it-it has a fun feel to it & makes me feel like I should be Oceanside sipping a pineapple drink. 8/10

17. 千年恋歌(Sennen Koi Uta)- Another ballad. Its not as good as Bolero or wasureniade but its decent. 7/10

18. Purple Line -Its not their best pop song but its catchy-I didn't like it for a long time at first. I still hate yunhos rap though. 7/10

Overall about 13 out of the 18 tracks are very enjoyable and I recommend this album.

neolog Secrets to Share 5

With songs from their previous 6 singles "Purple Line", "Beautiful You", "Why Do I Fall in Love with You", "Mirotic", "Bolero/Kiss The Baby Sky/Wasurenaide", and "Survivor", this album offers the best of Tohoshinki from the year 2008 to early 2009 with 5 of the singles (with the exeption of "Survivor") reached no.1 position in Oricon Weekly Chart.

Initially, I was worried about the new songs in the album, but my worried was completely unjustified. Those songs are more than just filler songs, every one of them deserved to be made as a single themselves.

"Secret Game" is a short but highlights each member vocal perfectly, "Force" gives a powerful masculine feel, "Nobody Knows" and "Stand Up" is smooth jazzy tracks.

"TAXI" had to be one of my favorite track, the song emphasized the ability of Tohoshinki to put emotion into their song. The background music is minimal, with piano as the main instrument, making it a perfect ballad.

"9095" and "9096" is the song that fits the album the most. The string arrangement, the sound effect, and the use of French words produced mysterious atmosphere. It was a pleasant surprise to know that JaeJoong composed the song, as it was so different compared to his previous composition.

This version also come with a DVD, consist of their PV, offshot movie and the digest of "3rd Live Tour ~ T DVD" concert. It was fun to hear the commentary from Tohoshinki and one of Tohoshinki biggest fan, Mr. Sekine Tsutomo throughout the DVD digest.

So if you want to know the secret of Tohoshinki's success, you only need to listen to this album.

neolog Amazing! 5

This album is truly amazing! I love that they finally let the members put some of their own songs on the albums! 9095 is a new favorite of mine! And Boloero is my new ringtone! I just can't get enough of them! There wasn't a single song on here that I didn't like!

Definitely worth it! 5

I pre-ordered my copy, but I didn't get around to writing a review until now. There's so many great singles in there, and the new songs are equally as good. My two new favorites are Stand Up and 9095!

As for the DVD, I've lost count how many times I watched it already! My favorite upbeat performance is Shine / Somebody to Love, while my favorite ballad is, of course, Love in the Ice.

Everything in here is too good to pass up. It's their best album yet! I recommend this to old and new Tohoshinki fans alike~
