NEMOPHILA LIVE 2022 -REVIVE - It's sooooo nice to finally meet you!!!!! - - (w/ Rakuten Books bonus: a photo with pre-printed autograph)NEMOPHILAAll expectations fulfilled.
I`ve been looking forward to this first Live BD from Nemophila, since I preordered it, and now it finally came. It took only 3 days shipping from Japan to my doorstep in Denmark, fast and efficient as usual from CDJapan and DHL Express that`s why I always order it there, cause it always arrives safely and fast. I had high expectations for this first live concert with audience, after I have followed the band on Youtube and watched one of their live streams during Covid lockdown and also bought their first full cd album, Revive. I wasn`t disappointed, cause the lovely ladies are so great in this live performance full of life and charm, and they totally shred it. You can really feel how they enjoy to finally play in front of a live audience. Great versions of songs I already knew and a lot of funny and cute interaction between the band members, and we also get treated to some outstanding solos, where especially Haraguchi-san shines with some great bass lines. The absolute highlight is the ending with the song, Life, where Mayu can`t control her emotions any more and breaks down in tears of sheer happiness of finally being able to perform and see the fans, this is such a touching end to this great concert. I fully enjoyed all of this lovely concert and give it the maximum 5 stars even though I would like to give it 10 if possible. This is worth every Yen.

M87 (M Hachijunana) Video Edition [CD + DVD + Silver Digipak / Limited Edition]Kenshi Yonezulaser pointer was awesome
The presentation and packaging was great, as usual. I don't really love this CD compared to some of his other singles, but I'm glad I got it! I'm so glad I can rip my own FLAC of pop song!! ETA was pretty good too

Country Musume Mega Best [CD+DVD]Country MusumeIt's really a great compilation
I only discovered Country Musume way after their disbandment, which is unfortunate because looking at how the members keep changing always keep me confused. Not only members, they also did many music genres which question you what's the group concept? Well, I guess "change" is their concept lol. This album, released as a part of Hello! Project's Mega Best series, able to showcase the group and their singles well. For a person that didn't know all of their songs, the album can give surprises on what can you get in the next song. Shuffle play also a great way to listen to this album. This album really define what is great compilation (for H!P fans) because it's not too edgy, but still new enough to make you wow. I really recommend this album for Tsunku's fan, as I consider his works on Country Musume is all classic. The music video also nice (note that it's produced in 2008 so no big resolution) to have.

Natsumi Abe -Best Selection - 15 Shoku no Nigaoe Tachi [CD+DVD]Natsumi AbeWorth it if you like Nacchi that much
One of best Hello! Project decision is to clearhouse their (older) artists repertoire by Mega Best series. Natsumi Abe or Nacchi has been less successful when it comes to solo music compared to other H!P solo acts like Ayaya or Gomaki, but her concept has always in lines of ballad, which I never acknowledge as H!P forte. Upon listening to this album, I'm surprised how many slow tempo tracks (and also some upbeat ones) that are quite enjoy to listen to and at the end I don't skip most of them. The album serves as a collection for those who missed Nacchi or old H!P era, because you are going to have many songs to listen to. Most of the ballads aren't that God-tier (my H!P ballad pinnacle is Ayaya's The Last Night/Gomaki's Secret), but some of the upbeat ones like '22sai no Watashi' and 'Datte Ikitekanakucha' are the highlight to reminds you that Nacchi also rocks that style. Most of the songs are available on iTunes, so this album added bonus is only complete (?) Nacchi's MV singlse. Let me tell you the resolution aren't that good (since it's released on 2008), but compared to what you get for free on YouTube, this works if you are into collecting H!P dust of glory. Personally I recommend it for (1) H!P fans who are more into the agency's older releases, (2) Japanese ballad songs, (3) Into Nacchi overall -- to buy it since they may not print it anymore. PS: The sole reason I bought this album only because 'Datte Ikitekanakucha' doesn't available on iTunes internationally. The power the song holds!

L.S.lyrical schoolGreat music, best lineup!
I will miss these girls when they graduate. This album is an immediate favorite. The song "Bounce" keeps getting repeated several times when I play the CD in my car. I'm not even a Hip-Hop or Rap fan generally but when it comes to Lyrical School, I sure am!

Still Still StellarHoshimachi SuiseiA Great Mix that Anyone can Love
Suisei is a very versatile singer that I didn't think I'd get this attached to. Her talent and skill lifts her through the clouds like the comet she is. And like a comet, behind her is a blazing trail through when she has passed. (Had on pre-order, but forgot to say something after I got it.)
