Juicetory [Regular Edition]Juice=JuiceWonderful
A wonderful album with a reinterpretation of the group's greatest classics. Even with the new voices, for me it never loses its charm. A great purchase for anyone who is a fan of Juice=Juice and Hello! Project! Greetings from Brazil to this group that I had the pleasure of seeing live in 2017 in my country! I hope to see them one day again!

Tokimeku Koi to Seishun Koi Edition [CD+2DVD / TYPE-A]Cho Tokimeki SendenbuOne of the best concert of TOKISEN !
I've been waiting too long for this show to be released. It's certainly not a stage for 100,000 fans, half a kilometer wide, with high decorations like the EFFEIL TOWER, but the atmosphere is fabulous. The presence (finally!!!) of musicians on stage radically changes the atmosphere!!! But the list of songs is missing in the booklet, everything is for the AUDIO CD, the concert being considered a secondary product!!! That's really having little consideration for these young women, isn't it? AVEX Marketing has an incomprehensible publication policy.

Tokimeki ga Subete [Haneda Miru Miru Ban] [CD + Blu-ray / Type A]Cho Tokimeki SendenbuOne of the best TOKISEN concerts!
One of the best TOKISEN concerts! Indeed, it is one of the best, among the rare concerts published at the time, and there will be little more afterwards. After 3 minutes, we completely forget that it was filmed in a room without spectators, because of the COVID health crisis. The young girls provide an incredible atmosphere. It's even an achievement when we remember how our existence was supported at that time. To buy without hesitation!

Tokimeki ga Subete [Tamaari Miru Miru Ban] [CD + Blu-ray / Type B]Cho Tokimeki SendenbuAlso the best TOKISEN concerts!
Also the best TOKISEN concerts! Indeed, it is one of the best, among the rare concerts published at the time, and there will be little more afterwards. After 2 minutes, we completely forget that it was filmed in a room without spectators, because of the COVID health crisis. The concert is enhanced, compared to the TYPE A edition of the AUDIO CD, with a sequence of games and sporting and absolutely funny challenges. And the musical sequences are really excellent. I wonder how they could have been so cheerful and excellent, in such dramatic circumstances: the confinement linked to COVID...But it is often in adversity that we really reveal ourselves, right? With the TYPE B edition, these are two concerts to absolutely obtain, without any hesitation.

CHAnnel #1 [w/ Blu-ray, Limited Edition / Type B]OCHA NORMAOCHA NORMA : absolutely fabulous !
The concert is truly excellent. There is no negative criticism possible, it is simply impossible, otherwise it is bad faith. In any case, that's what I think. I haven't listened to the 2 AUDIO CDs yet, but I have no doubt about their excellence. I also see that the product is already in “Back Order” status!!! That shows how much it was appreciated, right? The group is even known in France: in the superb French-language magazine "JAPAN Magazine" number 16, there is an article about one of the young girls in the group, NATSUME! Absolutely superb article. We learn that she started at 17 and wanted to join Morning Musume. But ultimately, it will be OCHA NORMA, a brand new group a few years later. OCHA NORMA is an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS group!

Live Blu-ray "One Nation Under The Dempa Tour" [Limited Release]DEMPA GUMI.incThe revival concert.
The group lost almost all the members who had been there since the beginning, more than 10 years ago. The new young women who came there have perfectly adopted the codes of the original group. They perfectly interpret all the great hits that made DEMPA GUMI.inc and I even have the feeling that some music has been slightly retouched and now has excellent maturity. Some people on Youtube have said that this new group no longer interests them. It is true that when we see historic members leave (only 2 remain) it can lead to a certain nostalgia, a little sadness even. But damn, life goes on! The young women who left are also mothers for some ;-) For the second disc, I will say that without subtitles, I can hardly say anything interesting about it. To obtain without hesitation, you will not be disappointed at all compared to the original group.

CHAnnel #1 [w/ Blu-ray, Limited Edition / Type A]OCHA NORMAEXCELLENT
Great Blu Ray that features their singles . Even by Hello Project's standards in Ocha Norma they have found a bunch of absolutely gorgeous girls .I suppose Momo would be my pick but they are all lovely - and seem hungry for success . Talking of Momo it was amusing to see her almost slip on the bright orange carpet in one of the videos - luckily she regained her balance but I reckon the other girls pulled her leg about it afterwards . This disc is well worth buying

Iriguchi no Nai Deguchi [w/ Blu-ray, Limited Edition/Type-A]Momoiro CloverThis album is pure joy
This album is an essential MCZ album. The studio versions of the songs offered are truly excellent. If you are hesitant about the absolutely enormous number of MCZ DVDs (and having bought ALL the MCZ DVDs, I know what I'm talking about!), buy this album. None of the songs has lost its interest, far from it: their studio version allows you to find fundamentals that are sometimes a little forgotten during concerts. And some of them should be present a little more often during the next concerts, and should have been on previous shows. This album is pure joy, to buy without hesitation. Go for it! And take advantage that it is still available...

Pretty Guardian (Bishojo Senshi) Sailor Moon The 20th Anniversary Memorial TributeV.A.Exciting new covers of old favourites
I admit I initially bought this just for Tommy heavenly6's cover of "La Soldier", which is still my favourite track from this collection and probably my favourite version of the song of all time, but I quickly fell in love with the rest of the songs, too. There are so many familiar Sailor Moon classics and it's fun to hear different artists' take on them with their own, personal touch. I really enjoyed the whole track list, with 1, 5, 6 and 9 being my biggest favourites here. Clementine's cover of "Moonlight Densetsu" in French was a pleasant surprise - it's very soothing and mellow.

Sailor Moon The 25th Anniversary Memorial TributeV.A.A new twist to old favourites
There are lots of good covers in this collection that add a fun, new twist to many familiar songs that I already loved, and I really enjoyed them. Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 9 were my absolute favourites, but I don't think there's a single boring track here. I wasn't the biggest fan of Yakushimaru Etsuko's cover of "Kakumei wa Night & Day", there's something about her voice that just doesn't work for me, but I really loved that the artists weren't afraid to add their own flavour to these songs. Overall a really fun collection if you're already a fan of Sailor Moon music. Also, the box art is absolutely gorgeous. Naoko Takeuchi's manga art was a great choice for this.
