Swing GirlsOriginal SoundtrackSwing Girls
This is the soundtrack to the film, with music of all the girls performances. If you liked the music they played in the film then you want this soundtrack. The best part is when the ex-boyfriends (you'd know if you saw the film) sing thier song "Since I've Been Loving You"

Shin Kamen Rider Theme Song Single: Climax JumpAAA DEN-O formDen-O's Music Starts With a Climax
AAA's latest release is a fun listen. The song is neither slow nor fast, but rather right in-between. Perfect for the series that it's the opening of. The Power Rock remix is the best one, the Soul Blues remix is a little odd, and Sweet Ballad is soothing, but slow. Overall, definitely worth a buy.

Ai No Senshi Rainbowman Music FileSoundtrackNice collection of back ground music
If you like the music of composer Kitahara Jun or are a huge fan of Rainbowman then you'll enjoy this CD. There are 3 vocal tracks the tv-sized versions of opening theme and both ending themes. The other 52 tracks are insturmental, background music. The vocal tracks are in mono, the instrumentals are stereo. I enjoy Kitahara Jun's mixture of traditional oriental themes and modern music.

Musical Tennis no Ohjisama (The Prince of Tennis) Best Actor's Series 003 - Hiroki Aiba as Shusuke FujiShusuke Fuji (Hiroki Aiba) (Prince of Tennis Musical CD)Review of Song Tracks on Aiba's CD
1. Tsubasa no Kizuna - "Fly high away~" This song has a really nice latin american feel to it. KENN and Aiba pair up nicely in this duet. 2. Shootin' Your Smile - An upbeat song that I think would go great as an opening theme song for an anime show. 3. Yume no Kidou - Starts out mellow then a steady beat comes in, and sounds like you're walking and grooving to nature's beat. Aiba can sing really fast! 5. Yume Wo Tsunage Syusuke Solo Edition - Listening to him sing this song makes me miss the 2nd Seigaku cast and it reminds me of DL3 and him crying, but I like the Seigaku version just a little more, but Aiba did a good job here 6. Hand in Hand - Pretty song, Aiba's voice here is nice and mellow, he can't hit the high notes as well though, but otherwise, it's a nice song. 7. Instrumental ~ Fuji vs Akutagawa DL3 KiraKira version - how can we not love the KiraKira dance Aiba did to this in DL3? 9. Run Run Run Bro. Edition - KENN and Aiba sang this song with energy, in the beginning they go "IKUZE!" together and in the middle they go "5! 6! 7! 8!" like Shirota did in DL3, hoorah for Fujibrotherly love! I love this song, both here and in the musicals. Overall, good CD to buy and listen to!

Seishun Gakuen Chutobu & Hyotei Gakuen ChutobuOn My WaySeishun Gakuen Chutobu & Hyotei Gakuen ChutobuBeautifulA gorgeous, uplifting, handclap-inducing, absolutely FUN song! Especially with Sengoku's & Ishida's hip-swaying segment in mind! XD I wish I had been there to see it live. T_T In any case, it's a good piece of "memorabilia" for those who have watched Dream Live 3rd *snifffff* and the Imperial Match.

Musical Tennis no Ohjisama (The Prince of Tennis) Best Actor's series 001 - YU Shirota as Kunimitsu TezukaKunimitsu Tezuka (Yu Shirota)Absolutely Fantastic Best Actor CD!
This is a fantastic CD for any fan of the Prince of Tennis musical or fan of Shirota Yuu, because the CD allows fans to hear Shirota display his amazing voice and wonderful singing talents. He really has a beautiful, deep mysterious phantom of the opera-esque voice, perfect for Tezuka Kunimitsu. Shirota sings Tezuka's solo songs from the musicals, which are "Yudan Sezu ni Ikou", "Omae wa Seigaku no Hashira ni Nare", and "Semero, Tsuyoku Nare". He sings them beautifully, he really is the perfect Tezuka. The CD also includes original songs like "Owarinaki Stage" and "Ashita Fuku Kaze", which Shirota sings beautifully too. "Tachitsukusu Kanata" is another great song Shirota sings, it's the same song Shirota sings on his Idol DVD, but with different lyrics, but it's a song Shirota composes, another wonderful song displaying his talent. Overall, the CD is a great solo Best Actor CD for Tezuka. Only minor complaint is that there are three Instrumental pieces, which takes away tracks to listen to Shirota sing, but his message for you, is absolutly fun to listen. It's a definite must have for Tenimyu & Shirota fans, especially as the CD includes many pretty pictures of Shirota as Tezuka!

Musical Tennis no Ohjisama (The Prince of Tennis) Best Actor's Series 003 - Hiroki Aiba as Shusuke FujiShusuke Fuji (Hiroki Aiba) (Prince of Tennis Musical CD)A pleasant listen
Contrary to the description, all vocal tracks are sung by Aiba-san (Fuji) with duets with KENN (Yuuta) on 2 tracks. Honestly, his voice isn't great. Passable, but somewhat on the blah-ordinary side. I'm glad KENN, who I think is the better singer, joined him for the duets. Inspite of that, I must say it's a wonderful CD. Largely because I fell in love with the first track, tsubasa no kizuna, which has an upbeat Latin feel to it and is one of the 2 duets. This song has been running rampant in my head for a 1.5 weeks already. It's also the track Aiba-san singled out as the one he enjoyed recording the most (at least, i think he said that IF I got my translation right ^^;). HAND IN HAND and yume o tsunage (who is Fuji referring to here?? awww cute cute XD) are very touching pieces and my only gripe with them is that they're so short!!! >.< Shootin' your smile and yume no kidou are also notable tracks. The one song I don't particularly feel attached to is Run Run Run. Though their duet is a nice rendition, I simply don't like this song, so it was kind of a waste and I wished they chose a different song for the duet. T_T For Fuji and Aiba Hiroki fans, this CD is a must (cute pics inside!) XD

Daigekitou Mad Police '80 MusicYuji OhnoMad Police '80
Awesome opening theme! One of the best music made by the jazz pianist Yuji Ohno. Powerful and vibrant, the opening theme is really the great music of this album. The slow ending theme, sung by Noboru Kimura (TALIZMAN's vocalist, also known as Harry Kimura or just HARRY) is a very good song too. But the rest of the music on this album (the Back Ground Music) are not so great as the main themes, but still good. Rating: 4!

Zatoichi - Original SoundtracksOriginal SoundtrackZatoichi Sountrack
After watching the film a while ago, I was amazed at how they worked the music into the film, they syncronised everything so beautifully. I had to listen to the music, and although the soundtrack is more difficult for a westner like me to listen to, it is a beautiful alabum, with some great hautning music.

On My Way
Seishun Gakuen Chutobu & Hyotei Gakuen ChutobuOn My WaySeishun Gakuen Chutobu & Hyotei Gakuen ChutobuWow~Wow, what a CD! If you've seen Hyotenimyu in Winter, you should've seen the final song, On My Way. This CD has 3 versions of it. The initial song, the live version that you hear in the DVD (with the random comments at the end. "Thank you"s and the "Merry Christmas" from Katou Kazuki/Atobe) and an instrumental. I bought this before the announcement of the box set that is set to release, but it was worth it nonetheless. I do recommend buying the box set though. I believe this song will be on it as well. So, if you just want this song, buy this, but if you want the majority of the tenimyu songs to date, buy the box set.
