Kids In A Ghost Town (Deluxe Edition) [SHM-CD]NESTORSolid Faux-80s But NOT Their BestNestor’s debut is a solid album full of expertly-crafted songs and musicianship. On The Run and 1989 are classics, however, many other songs are just filler. Still worth getting but their NEXT album is basically perfect. Get the SHM-CD for the extra tracks!

Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt Ohtagaki Yasuo ARTWORKS: Thunderbolt Art WorksYasuo Ohtagaki, Hajime YatateA remarkable collection of artThere was a big poster in it, and when I thought it was crazy, there was another one at the end. I'm collecting posters, so I'm thankful for that. The art book is all in color, up to about 213 pages. Illustrations of Gaiden are also included. I don't use text or black and white to earn pages, so I think it's impressive enough. Recently, every art book has few pages but is expensive, and I'm satisfied with the content, but I don't know if it's worth the price, but I don't think there's any need to worry. For the first time in a long time, I came across an art book that was impressive and I was more than satisfied with the price.

Abiko Yoshikazu no Rekishi GahoYoshikazu YasuhikoMasterpieceI was taken with them to buy it, and I am glad I bought it. I have a lot of sympathies with the artist way of drawing warm characters. If you look only at the eyes, there is an image that the characters are the same even if they are different, but it may be fair to say that they are unique characters and personalities. Gundam characters are somewhat unique, but maybe it is only with Mr. Yasuhiko pictures that they look like ideal images. Every picture is fascinating, and you'll want to keep looking at Yasuhiko Yoshikazu forever.

Kusamori Shuichi Animation ArtworksKusamori ShuichiGood bookKusamori was responsible for landscape depictions in films such as GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: Innocence (created by Masamune Shirow, directed by Mamoru Oshii), Metropolis (created by Osamu Tezuka, written by Katsuhiro Otomo, directed by Rintaro), X (created by CLAMP, directed by Rintaro), which are said to be the pinnacle of Japanese animation art, along with the PSYCHO-PASS series. These works are not reproductions of real cityscapes or nature, but rather were painted as imaginary landscapes to show the world of science fiction and fantasy. But the book format is not one of my favorities. The book is quite small and some pages look like that had been cut incorrectly. Recommended if you are a great fan of this author.

Tamamori Junichiro's Space Battleship Yamato Mechanical Artworks: YAMATO MECHANICS 2001-2025Tama Mori Jun Ichiro / Iori No Hideaki / Voyager Horudeingusu KabushikigaishaPerfect Space Battleship Yamato BookAll illustrations that fans want to see have been recorded without omission, including illustrations published on the site that Mr. Tamamori used to run. The number of pages is necessary and sufficient, and it takes quite a bit of time to look at every corner. The excellence of Yamato's design was almost completed in the initial setting drawn by Kazutaka Miyatake, but in the second work, it became a simple line due to the habit of Mr. Tomonori Kogawa, and it changed to something like a childish toy. As a result, many fans have come to envision an ideal shape called “I'm Yamato,” which is different from the anime version. I've always thought, “I can draw Yamato in a cooler way than TV animators.” Highly recommended book!!

Umezu Yasuomi Animation Works: UnfinishedUmezumi YasuomiA bit disappointingA book with content I would never buy if I could read it standing up. “Wizard Barristers Benmashi Cecil Umetsu Yasuomi Design Works” and “Messo Perfect File,” which were sold in the past, were better. There are too many revised original images and storyboards that are close to black and white, and there is no reference value.

Inoue Takehiko Vagabond Illustrations: SumiTakehiko InoueAwesome BookI have bought both WATER and Sumi and before I received them, I did not expect a lot because I know it is a collection from comics drawings during Vagabond was ongoing in the past 8 years. However, after I got the actual book in my hand, I know that it is correct to buy both books. The large size of the book with high quality printing and vibrant colors (and the outstanding drawings by Mr. Inoue) have brought life to the characters. My excitment in reading Vagabond has all returned when I flip through the pages recalling the stories. I think all Vagabond fans must buy both books as a collection item. You will not regret it. Even non Vagabond fans can also learn the drawing techniques from Mr. Inoue through these books.

Inoue Takehiko Vagabond Illustrations: WATERTakehiko InoueGenius WatercolorAmong the overwhelming majority of works that can only be seen in black and white, such as a single book, you can see everything in watercolor. I have a whole book, but by looking at the watercolor painting, each person and every one of the scenery are revived to life.

Sin After SinJudas PriestAlmost a Metal ClassicThis is almost a Priest classic with tracks like Sinner, Starbreaker, Dissadent and Diamonds … but personally, I thought most of the reliant trackers were filler. Still, most people will definitely want this CD in their collection!!

Metallica (Remaster Deluxe) [SHM-CD] [Regular Edition]MetallicaA Classic Album & Great RemasterThe Black album is iconic; there isn’t anything I can tell you about it that you don’t already know. As far as the SHM-CS remaster is concerned, this IS definitely an upgrade in sound although the Black album already sounded pretty great. The demos and live tracks are cool too
-
Last Live [2CD] [SHM-CD] [Regular Edition]Thin LizzyGreat Live, Late Era LizzyThunder & Lightning is my favorite Lizzy album, but that’s because I’m a huge fan of Mr. John Sykes’ playing and writing style. So, Life: Live has all the T&L tracks I could reasonably hope for, as well as the standard classics. Although, Heart Attack sounds been awesome … highly recommended!

Autumn VariationsEd SheeranBad very badAnother album with obi only made in Japan and disc non made in Japan wasting money I should order eu version cheaper. I pays for piece of paper that is not worthy

TOKYO LIVE [Blu-spec CD]Yngwie MalmsteenDecent Live EffortThis is a decent live effort from Malmsteen. He sounds great as always, but the recording is a bit thin, I would have preferred a bit more from his earlier catalogue and Relentless Fury would have been great as performed in its entirety
-
HopeHarem ScaremAn Average Harem Later ReleaseI’m a big fan of Harem Scarem, especially their first 3 albums. However, and while much of their later output isn’t exactly “phoned in,” it’s simply nothing special beyond being standard modern AOR. No stand out tracks here, but it’s still a good effort. Worth a listen
-
British Steel [Blu-spec CD2]Judas PriestAnother Priest ClassicBreaking the Law, Grinder. Living After Midnight … it’s all here, with the classic Priest line-up. Dimebag had the Priest razor hanging around his neck, Welch tells you how influential this album is. A must have in your collection!!
-
Defenders Of The Faith [Blu-spec CD2]Judas PriestAn Almost Perfect AlbumGood lord, this is almost as perfect as they come: this classic Priest lineup creates what is arguably their best album. From the opening Freewheel to Jawbreaker to Ride Hard, and my favorite Priest song ever with Some Heads Are Gonna Roll, this must have album needs to be in your metal collection if it isn’t already.
-
Firepower Deluxe Edition [Blu-spec CD2] [Limited Edition]Judas PriestEnjoyable Late Priest EffortI will always reach for 80s Priest and Painkiller first, but Firepower is an energetic effort with blazing guitars and great hooks that will satiate most metal fans. All the guys are firing on all cylinders, and the production is crisp. The title track and Evil Never Dies are standouts.
-
Stained ClassJudas PriestA Classic Metal AlbumI mean … most of these songs are legitimately great. The entire first side IS greatness, as are 3 tracks on the second side. Standouts for me are Exciter, White Heat, Better by You and the controversial Beyond. Buy this album NOW!!
-
TurboJudas PriestSeverely UnderratedI know it’s a hot take, but I adore Turbo from its dated, electronic sound to the somewhat of-its-time metal style. Turbo Lover and Reckless are Priest classics, and the twin guitars shine as always. A must buy NOT necessary for Priest fans, but for fans of truly dated 80s metal!
-
Priest...Live!Judas PriestMy Go To Live Priest AlbumThis is Pruest at its most raw and powerful. I love the recording and production here - completely no-nonsense. Great early track list, and the twin guitars shine with Rob’s younger, powerful voice belting out beautiful madness. An absolutely must buy for rock and metal fans.
