Diamond [Regular Edition]1201212012 - Diamond
Well, looks like 12012 is a lot more mainstream now. Is that a good thing? Who knows? Its a decent listen, but overall, I was dissappointed with this album. It has a few catchy tracks, but other than that there's really nothing that stands out. The singles on the album, Cyclone and SHINE are probably the best tracks. And what the hell is with Mr. LIAR? What a crappy way to start the album off. The whole thing is pretty forgettable, imo. This album may be good for people who were just introduced to 12012 with Cyclone, but for the longer time listeners, its too pop-rocky I guess. Go hunt down a copy of PLAY DOLLs. p.s the bonus track on this edition, "dream arch" really sucks.

Anything For You [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]BONNIE PINKBonnie Pink - Anything For You
Anything For You is a good song, but not Bonnie's best work. The remix of Love Song, which kinda sucked to begin with is not that great this time around either. The real gem with this single is the DVD. About 40 minutes worth of amazing concert footage. Get it before its gone.

Glitter Loud Box [Regular Edition]LM.CLM.C - Glitter Loud Box
I really can't express in words how awesome this mini-album is. I think LM.C is composing some of the catchiest melodies in J-Rock today. Every track on this album is memorable in some way and each is unique. Stop reading all this and put this album in your cart. NOW!!! Support LM.C until the very end!!!

Oh My Juliet Special Edition [w/ Goods, Limited Release]LM.CLM.C - Oh My Juliet
This was an excellent purchase. Oh My Juliet is the song that made me an LM.C fan. The song is awesome as is the b-side track. The watch is also really cool. Even if you missed out on it, still try and buy another version of the single.

Digimon Cho Shinka Best! [Limited Pressing]AnimationDigimon Choshinka Best
When it came to Digimon music, I was always most fond of the Intro and Outro Themes as well as the Evolution themes. Buy this for the Intros and Outros and get Digimon Sonyuka Best for the Evo songs. Thats all you need. This CD is excellent. Butterfly + Target + Biggest Dreamer + FIRE!! = Total nostalgic awesomeness.It also contains some of the best orchestral songs from the show. In addition, the cover totally rocks and its limited! Hopefully the music for Digimon Savers won't suck due to Takanori Arisawa's passing. The man was a master of his craft.

Jibun Kakumei 2003 [Regular Edition]MiyaviMiyavi - Jubun Kakumei 2003
This single is awesome! Jibun Kakumei is a great song and the b-side tracks are also great. Buy this! The cover looks a lot better up close too! One of his best singles ever! Go Meev!

Tariraritarara [Regular Edition]MiyaviTariraritarara [Regular Edition]
You should only buy this if you feel you need to own everything Miyavi has released. This has got to be his weakest release to date. I think this is the only song of his that I actually hate. The b-side tracks are weak as well. They're only live versions of Pop is Dead and Shindemo-Boogie Woogie, which ironically sound better live than Tariraritarara. Meev got lazy on this one.

Jingle Bell [Regular Edition]MiyaviMiyavi - Jingle Bell (Kari) single
Miyavi's third release after his first album, Gakaku is in the form of a "Christmas" song. Jingle Bell is catchy, pop-rock tune, full of electric guitars and it ends with a sneeze (literally). The second track, "Happy end no uta" is another fun and happy track full of wierd noises. The third track, "Ashita tenki ni nare" is perhaps the highlight of package. Its a track that will allow you to relax after the first two. Its a very pretty and calming acoustic track that shows off his vocal skills. All in all, not a boring track on this disk. Furthermore, the first two tracks aren't on any albums, so they are must haves for the Miyavi completist. Jingle Bell is also part of the PScompany re-release campagne, so there's no excuse to not own it!
