Day Breaks [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Norah JonesWide range of instruments featured
Great audio! Various brass and woodwind instruments featured. Also piano. There are a few instrumental passages that sound superb. SACD brings out the dynamic range of Norahs voice against this wide variety of backing music. Highly recommended.

Z-5 Eye Shadow / Chikuhodo Z SeriesMakeup BrushFirmer eyeshadow brush than I expected.
Before I started to use this brush, I thought it might be too soft to control the application due to its bristle type. However, when I use it to apply eye shadow base color, I feek it is firmer and denser than I expected. I'm quite satisfied with the effect and I'll consider to use it to apply other eye shadow color instead of just for the base color.

The Fall [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Norah JonesLively fun listening plus dogs themes
I find this album a joy to listen to front first track to the very last woof! Dog themes throughout. Music that gets my toes to tapping. Great Voice from Norah Jones and many lyrics to enjoy. I think it's one of Norah Jones best albums. SACD brings great sound. Well-engineered. Recommended.

HelixCrystal LakeFantastic Metalcore
This album checks off all the necessary metalcore boxes for me. There is a huge emphasis on melodic playing and the production is wonderful. I would argue CRYSTAL LAKE is one of the greatest, most innovative metalcore bands of the genre, and this album proves it. A must buy.

Super Session - SACD Multi-ch Hybrid Edition - [7-inch Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [Limited Release]Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, Stephen StillsSuperb
A great and yet hugely under-rated album from these three great artists. On the CD side the recording is a knockout but, when it comes to the SACD content... Well, what can you say? Brilliant! Superb stuff in a great 7" package.

Piano Man 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition [SACD Hybrid + Blu-spec CD2 + DVD / Limited Edition] [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)]Billy JoelBeautiful stuff
I already have this album as the regular issue and the U.S special edition release. Both are good but yet again Japan proves that with a little more attention to detail you can have something very special. The CD side is fantastic showcasing Billy Joel's expertise as a singer and songwriter but when you go SACD well, there is a warmth that pulls you further into his world, you are there right in front with your glass of tonic and gin wrapped in the music that speaks through the ages. You can even hear the actions of the piano as he plays away. What else is there to say? Beautiful.

A very nice introduction for anyone looking to dip their toes into the wonderful world of Nat King Cole. If it wasn't for him so many artists that came after just wouldn't be around.

Not Too Late [SHM-SACD] [Limited Release]Norah JonesSolid performance kind of blue
The music and lyrics seem more like blues than the jazzy spirit I usually receive when listening to Norah Jones. The music is good, Norah's voice is beautiful as every and the sound engineering is excellent. The mood and lyrics presented is not my favorite Norah Jones effort.

The Complete Budokan 1978 [w/ Original Bonus, Limited Edition]Bob DylanBob Dylan - The Complete Budokan Boxset
This was my first purchase ever from CDJapan and I must admit I was blown away. This boxset arrived within a few days of ordering in absolutely flawless condition. Everything was top of the line from the records (flat, quiet) to the jackets, and outer-box. If this is indication of the usual Japanese quality one might expect I am forever hooked. In the US, our records are not perfect like this. I will treasure this boxset forever. Thank you CDJapan! Bravo!
