Blow UpIsao Suzuki Trio / QuartetBuy this now, Japanese Jazz at its peakYou really cant go wrong with Blowup, Misty, and Midnight Sugar. Tsuyoshi Yamamoto and Isao Suzuki are always worth listening to, but these sessions are amazing 1970's Japanese Jazz artefacts. The SACD and Vinyl are the best way to listen to this, although if you only have CD there is nothing wrong with that version either. The warm analogue feel of the SACD layer is amazing. Who said SACD is dead?

Z-2 Highlight Brush / Chikuhodo Z Series / Gray SquirrelMakeup BrushMust have brushSuch a nice soft brush for every cheek makeup task you have. Great one for soft wash of colour, really really silky soft. I use it for blush application, for baked and pressed powder under eyes or all over the face. Also this shape gives opportunity to comfortably use this brush for soft contouring or bronzing. It's my first squirrel brush and first brush beginning my fude collection :) and it's 8 years old now and still soft and with incredible quality. I'm not a collector and use my brushes daily. Little brush towel+ low pH brush cleaner will be an ultimate couple to save brush softness for years. I recommend this brush to everyone, it's great and beautiful either to look at and use it :)

T-6 Eye Shadow Brush L / Chikuhodo Takumi Series / Goat SaikohoMakeup BrushSurprisingly big brushThis brush is kind of unique, it's truly big eyeshadow brush, big and full and strong. I usually use it for baked or hard pressed highlighter, or for presized cream contouring, like contouring nose or to any detailed makeup work. I never use this brush for eyeshadow, but I could,of course, for one and done shadow application. I don't have any other brush with the same size and functionality, so I'm not regret buying.

T-7 Eye Shadow Brush M / Chikuhodo Takumi Series / Goat SaikohoMakeup BrushGoodGood usual eyeshadow brush, practical size and shape. I would say it's a must have brush for any brush kit, still Hakuhodo brush with the same shape is softer:)
-
T-8 Eye Shadow Brush S / Chikuhodo Takumi Series / Goat SaikohoMakeup BrushDetailed brushUseful eye brush for diffused colouring, I'm not using it often but it's good brush to have. It's not really comfortable for spot concealing, too soft for this task and getting wet immediately.

Visible World [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]Jan GarbarekGarbarek's the showThis music is not jazz, nor is it experimental. But it is compelling in its way, representative of a first-rate creative musician, beyond category.

I Have The Room Above Her [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]Paul MotianThis is incomparably lovelymusicI Have the Room Above Her is exactly what one would expect from Motian, a painstakingly realized effort that creates a virtual poetic of the measure between the adventure of jazz as creative music and the emotional depth and dimension that convey what is beautiful resoundingly.

The Works [SHM-CD] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]QueenAn excellent album from the 80'sQueen's The Works is a great pop-rock album. This album is an excellent addition to any music collection, but prog purists had better stay away from this one.

Here For It AllMariah CareyThe Come Back Album of Mariah CareyPersonally, I very much looked forward to the release of this album by Mariah Carey. It has been sometimes since she released a full album of new materials. I am a hardcore fan of her and the Japanese Edition with unique Obi Strip is a must to complete my collection of all the available formats of this album. The tracks are easy on the ears and endearing to the soul. It is an album where I can keep spinning over and over again with such joy and gladness. For me, this is definitely a come back album for the Queen of R&B. I will highly recommend it to anyone who would like to have a go at it. She always will be a Diva in her own league. I was Here For It All as I have ordered two copies of the same for collection purpose.

Passengers [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]Gary Burton QuartetPassengers is a beautiful albumHere's a semi-hidden gem from three ECM greats: Burton, Metheny, and Weber. The players complement one another well; everybody's working together to craft some delicate, pretty stuff here.

Wisteria [SHM-CD] [Limited Release]Steve KuhnIt is about as positive as jazz getsPianist Steve Kuhn, bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Joey Baron make sweet music together, for sure, but an unquantifiable feel for that music is what sets this dream trio apart.

Made In Heaven [SHM-CD] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]QueenIt's a perfect musical epitaphJust think about the fact that we're listening to the last work of Freddie Mercury, his last time up to the mic for a Queen recording. This is the band embracing finality with a sense of joy and splendor. This album kinda acts as a reflection of the band's career and Mercury's own life in particular; that fact makes many of these songs more powerful than they otherwise would have been.

FO-10 Eyeshadow brush/ Chikuhodo FO Series / Silver FoxMakeup BrushNot that goodMaybe I expect too much from this brush.. It is bigger than I thought(to be precise, wider) and the bristle, oh I can't believe, too stung. I PAID 3800YEN FOR ONE BRUSH AND IT HURTS MY EYES!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I've been using Chikuhodo's other brushes satisfactorily, so I've been looking forward to this silver fox brush, but... really disappointed. It's sad that I can't get a refund for this one.

B-ES-08 Eye Shadow Brush / BISYODO Series / CatMakeup BrushLove itThis is my first time using Bisyodo. I've always been searching for a brush this size, and this is the first time I've found one from the fude brush brand! This brush is incredible. It's very very soft, even though it's short. No one would ever say this brush stings! But it shows low level pickup and laydown as it is soft. It's great to gently put glitter on the under eye.

Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Louis Armstrong/Oscar PetersonA brilliant undertakingThe heavyweights created an album that is utterly compelling, radiantly jubilant and consummate in artistry.

Very Tall [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]The Oscar Peterson Trio/Milt JacksonHighly recommended!Very Tall features Oscar Peterson on piano, Milt Jackson on vibraphone, Ray Brown on bass, and Ed Thigpen on drums. With musical gods like Oscar, Milt, Ray, and Ed, you expect the music is going to be fantastic, and it is truly fantastic. It's always a treat for me to hear Milt Jackson on vibes and he's in fine form on Very Tall. The LP has rich, warm, detailed, and dimensional sound that is just a treat both musically and sonically.
