Lead's 2007 calendar contains many stunning shots of the boys. There are group pictures as well as pictures with two of them together (Shinya and Akira; Keita and Hiroki, etc.). For any Lead fans, this is the thing to set your new year off well!!

After having much success with Korickey in their collaboration (Night of Fire), it was soon decided that it was time for Korickey to graduate from HINOI TEAM. This was Hinochi's first single after the Korickey-collaboration and it is a powerful single, in my opinion. NOW AND FOREVER is a strong song to start with and the couplings are strong as well. The girls have matured as a group over a course of one year and this single showed their maturity from their first single, IKE IKE. The DVD in this single is very nice. Both the PV and the dance version of NOW AND FOREVER shows the improvement of Hinochi's dancing. :)

Known as w-inds.' Keita Tachibana's little sister, Mio, was put into a group and released their own single. It had the "HINOI TEAM" feel because of the parapara and the comedian dancing in his underwear. The song is pretty repetative. It's a cute song to hear every now and then but hearing this song too much may cause annoyance. I have wonder if there is more to expect from this group, hmm...

This is an amazing album brought out by AAA. I already had the album CD+DVD version and the mini-album and being such a fan I am, I had to get this one. It made me happy too that I was able to get Misako's trading card even though I recently ordered this! :O yay. I love this entire album. I loved all the singles on this album and all the new songs are just as catchy. :) Kudos to AAA and hopefully they will bring out more delightful songs and performances!!

I love this album. I loved all the singles in the album and I love all the new songs in this album too. I am a late FLAME fan. I actually didn't really get into them until early this year. Kind of disappointed that they haven't been releasing for over a year. :( But, listening to some old stuff is really great too. I love this album and highly recommend this to any Japanese boy band fans. Kyohei has one fantastic voice. :)

Pretty nice single from K8. They've always been a wild bunch of Johnny's, actually different from the typical bunch of Johnny's (aka KAT-TUN, NEWS). Liked this single a lot, gets really catchy hahah. Although I did not buy the CD+DVD from CDJapan, I recommend getting that version too, the PV is a crazy one. ;)
