ENEMY [w/ DVD, Limited Edition / Type A]TWICETwice Does It Again
Twice has once again released a song that is full of deeper meaning. While most of the songs on here follow their iconic pop style, the title song Enemy has a more rock sounding edge. While it is not following their pop beginning and iconic sound, it adds a new type of genre to their repertoire, showing just how versatile and unique these 9 women are. The song is a song that I believe will stand the test of time as one of their songs that really pull out emotions, not only in the sound of the song, but in the lyrics. The song Enemy is well written, well produced, and well delivered by Twice. Even the other songs that fit more to their usual style are very good, and have some musical genre mixing. The song "Love is More"takes on a pop style with jazz notes, while the song "The Wish" almost has a retro sound. Overall, I'm extremely happy that Twice put out such a diverse CD. The extras, the DVD, and this entire package is worth it in so many ways.

Masked Rider Hibiki Blu-ray Box 1Sci-Fi Live ActionFunny how time flies...
The first time I saw Hibiki, it was on discs, and I was in the middle of my primary school days. If Kuuga introduced me to the world of the Masked Rider franchise, it was Hibiki who made me a fan. Takatera's narrative style and world-building are definitely my favorite. Even as a child, I loved this show, how the story unfolded, how Asumu gradually matured from a child to a teenager who finally figured out what he truly wanted to be and made the decision himself. I also envy Asumu a little, as he had so many reliable adults around him to guide and support him through what was perhaps the first confusing and anxious phase of his life, which is a certain luxury for many children throughout their childhood and adolescence. I highly recommend Hibiki, at least the first half.

Mccartney [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]Paul McCartneyA pleasant lightweight record
Paul McCartney retreated from the spotlight of the Beatles by re-cording his first solo album at his home studio, performing nearly all of the instruments himself. Appropriately, McCartney has an endearingly ragged, homemade quality that makes even its filler - and there is quite a bit of filler - rather ingratiating. Only a handful of songs rank as full-fledged McCartney classics.

Tug Of War [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]Paul McCartneyYou'll be moved
"Tug of War", shows the legendary former Beatle pulling out all of the stops in making one of the most diverse, heartfelt, and overall wonderful albums he would have ever written at this point, and one that, in my opinion, does an exceptional job at everything it tries to do. It's bouncy, soulful, rockin', and occasionally beautiful and moving. And it's not just the material, but it's the overall technicalities of the album as well. George Martin does not disappoint with the production, as the legendary Beatles producer makes this album sound every bit as good, if not better.

Pipes Of Peace [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]Paul McCartneyFor 1983, the production is spectacular
The greatest thing about this album is that it's very chill, easy listening and soft, like great background music.

Carry FireRobert PlantThis was a highly enjoyable listen
Always a pleasure to listen to Plant's unmistakable voice. His most recent stuff makes no effort to appeal to any specific target audience, and the result is often a lovely mish-mash of genres. Definitely something for everybody here.

Pure [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [SHM-CD]PendragonDefinitely a masterpiece
The anticipation I had for Pure was intense. I got the feeling that Pendragon (and Nick, especially) invested a lot to this project. The investment has paid off. What we have in Pure is music with an intense spirit and that makes us think while gripping onto our interest. It encompasses a lot of different moods and textures, but in the end it's undoubtedly Pendragon. I consider this album a masterpiece.

143Katy PerryKaty's 143
Very nice album with many good songs. Just wish the album was longer. It is a bit short compared to her previous releases. The included booklet is really nice too. Has some neat photos of Katy, and the poster I received with the album was small but fun. Had it plaque mounted and hung on my bedroom wall.

METAL FORTH [Regular Edition]BABYMETALvery disappointing
Maybe Babymetal should focus less on collaborations with other artists and more on their own songwriting. I cannot bear to listen to any of the first five songs and have great difficulties to call the music altogether. The second half of the album is decent at best, but nothing that sticks to you or makes you want to come back. I read somewhere how much Su's singing skills have improved, but what is that good for if the songwriting is mediocre and there is more shouting than singing going on?

Take No Prisoners [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [Blu-spec CD]David ByronByron's voice is great
This 1975 album was the first solo outing for David Byron, the lead singer for Uriah Heep. It isn't a big surprise that a good portion of the album sounds a lot like the group that gave him his day job. Overall, it’s a well-made album that will definitely find favor with Uriah Heep fans.

Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (Subtitles: English, Chinese) / U.C.Gundam Blu-ray Library SeriesAnimationAmazing blu-ray for an amazing OVA
While War in the Pocket is not one of my favorite Gundam series', I nevertheless bought this Blu-ray. Needless to say, the sound and video quality is impeccable. The story itself is a very unique perspective of the 1 Year War and on war itself as a phenomenon. The U.C. Libraries are amazing and War in the Pocket is one of the best blu-rays (anime) I have seen thus far. Outstanding release, worth every yen.

"Dragon Ball Daima (TV Anime)" Original SoundtrackAnimation Soundtrack (Music by Kosuke Yamashita)Great soundtrack by Yamashita-san
After being doubtful about the soundtrack I decided to buy it anyway, just for a few short snippets that I remembered when watching the show. Upon listening again to the whole soundtrack I was overwhelmed with joy as it is one of the most beautiful soundtrack I have ever listened to. Sweeping melodies, engaging action sequences and an overall Dragon Ball-esque feel, make this collection totally worth having. Sound quality, as is a standard for Japanese releases, is outstanding. I would have, however, preferred a more colorful booklet, but it's no big deal. If you love the music to Daima, I cannot recommend this highly enough. More than 2 hours of amazing tunes.

My Name [CD+DVD] [Special Edition]BoAMy Name
My Name is BoA's 4th Korean album. It was an absolute hit seller at the time of its release, and rightfully so. This album is just an absolute jam of amazing bangers and a few beautful ballads showing off the raw talent of one of Asia's BEST artists. There are NO SKIPPABLE songs whatsoever. The DVD included with this edition has the MVs for the title song My Name along with My Prayer, both of which are wonderful and further showcase her skills and talent. The inside of the packaging doesn't have a regular booklet. It flips open having 3 separate folded sheets inside. The sheets have photos of her in different poses along with the lyrics and credits, which are all quite nice. There's also a long "Thanks To" paragraph as well where makes sure to list her fans amomgst all her family, friends and others who assisted in helping to make this album possible. Fantastic release!! Very highly recommended!!

The Greatest [Regular Edition]BoAThe Greatest...
This release is overall exceptionally fantastic music wise. I love the new couple tracks and the new versions of old songs really sound awesome as bit of new fun fresh air to some classic Japanese BoA tracks. Love every last one on here. Only reason for 4 Stars instead of 5 is the inner packaging. The back side of the case and even inside is rather boring and there's almost no photos or much in just a nice design at all throughout the lyrics booklet. One positive is that the lyrics and credits are laid out nicely, but honestly I'm a bit disappointed in this regard. Would've expected more from how all other past releases of hers have been before this.
