Change your lifeAnna TsuchiyaAnna's second single doesn't disappoint
Anna's second single surely doesn't disappoint, or at least, it didn't disappoint me. It continues from where her first mini album left off, with 3 more rockish tunes and lyrics in her style (probably I should say 2, since change your life has 2 versions, but it is good in both versions so I like to count it as 2) plus a slower, happier song ("every moment") which is nice as well.

Slap That Naughty Body/My FateAnna TsuchiyaGood single
Good single overall. SLAP MY NAUGHTY BODY is a bit silly as a song, just what I'd expect from Anna. MY FATE and BLUE MOON are imho better songs, with nice lyrics and good music. Also this came with a pretty nice poster (actually 2, I was lucky ^^), which is a definite plus!

Ergo Proxy Vol.1 [Limited Release]AnimationGood package for a show i like
The Vol.1 Limited Release comes in pretty spiffy package. The DVD quality is cool, the booklet is nice, but the bonus disc stuff aren't all that. Still, it's a bonus, and the price for the whole package is low, so it's all cool.

Final Fantasy XII Original SoundtrackGame MusicGood soundtrack, good package.
I've enjoyed this soundtrack. While not Sakimoto's best work imho (I've liked Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics and BoFV:DQ soundtracks more), it is still a great OST, with his usual style, which is able to make the usual Final Fantasy music sound a bit more darker and... "mature". Also the package is great.

ULTRA BLUEHikaru UtadaReally nice album
This was my first Hikki album, and it was simply great. Not only I've loved every single song (Hikki has such a nice voice) but I've also loved the booklet it came with, which is of very high quality imho. Any Hikki fan or JPop fan should really consider to purchase this.

Teste My BeatAnna TsuchiyaGreat mini album
The first mini album by Anna is great! I've actually got to know her only because of her involvement with the NANA anime, but I've fallen in love with her since then. Her voice is beautiful to listen to, I was charmed by her performance in rose, and so was interested in hearing if her previous works were good as well. I was not disappointed. As i wrote before, this first mini album is great. The lyrics aren't too deep, but the performace is pretty cool and that's cause Anna herself is cool, as what is cool about her is her crazy attitude, her cool voice, her charming looks and her enjoyment of life which reflects in her works, as she always shows she does what she loves and she loves what she does.

Anna Tsuchiya 1st Live Tour Blood Of RosesAnna TsuchiyaAmazing performance
I had been awaiting this DVD since when it was made available for pre-order, and I have not been disappointed. Watching Anna perform live is simply amazing, she is great on stage, charming, with a great execution when singing, a really really amazing singer. I can only hope there will be more Live DVDs in the future, as this was a really great release.

The Cloudy Dreamer [CD+DVD]OLIVIAGreat stuff as usual from OLIVIA
This release is simply AMAZING! Every song is just great, from Stars Shining Out (of which the PV present on the DVD is really great) to Dream catcher to Cloudy world to Cut me free, they are all beautiful, so it's really hard to pick any favorite. The Live on the DVD is also great, with imho a great performance for SpidERSpins.

Kuroi Namida [CD+DVD]Anna Tsuchiya inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES)Anna: beautiful and talented
Kuroi Namida isn't what I'm used from Anna, but it's such a beautiful song, and Anna's voice is great, great, great! Even for the other 3 songs are great (I love I'm addicted to you), plus the PV for Kuroi Namida is just a good as the song it is made for (Anna is beautiful!), which makes this a great single.

Lucy [CD+DVD]Anna Tsuchiya inspi' Nana (Black Stones)Good release, but not great.
I like everything i listen at coming from Anna, even tho this single as a whole isn't exactly what I expected, at least musically, since lyrics are what I'd expect out of Anna (especially Dance with me), but it is still great. While LUCY is great, the other 2 tracks aren't exactly my favorites, but still good. The original animation clip present on the DVD wasn't all the great instead imho (I found it to bethe weakest of all the original animation clips) while the PV for LUCY is fantastic.

Hataraku OtokoPUFFYGood single
I had no idea who PUFFY were before watching Hatarikiman, and that was bad, as they are great. This single is really good, I've liked all the songs on it, as they're the kind of songs that put you into a good mood, or at least they do for me, as they are fresh enough and not boring or annoying.

Trailers [Gold] [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]LM.C<3 LM.C
What to say... it's just a single, but what a single! The songs are great, and the PV is really cool. I like the interlude as well (on both singles) and I can't wait to her their next works.

Trailers [Silver] [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]LM.C<3 LM.C
What to say... it's just a single, but what a single! The songs are great, and the PV is pretty funny (I'm a guy, but i find Maya to be ... cute, which I don't know if it is good or bad, but it surely is entertaining). A really good release, which made me really interested in their next works.

the World / Alumina [Death Note Artwork Editon]NightmareGreat single
I've learnt about Nightmare thanks to Death Note and I'm grateful. the World and Alumina are two great songs, which makes this single a must buy imho.

Death Note Original SoundtrackAnimation SoundtrackAmazing, simply amazing
This Soundtrack is simply amazing. I thought the music was good when used in the anime, but after listening to the CD I've realized that it's even better without it. Listening to Low of Solipsism or Death Note (just to name a couple tracks) on the anime was good, but on the CD is nothing short of amazing. Really reccomended.

HandsAyaA good single by Aya
I love everything Aya, and this single is no exception. While imho not as good as her later stuff, it is still very good, showing of that she is a great Jrocker. HANDS is nice, but HONEY BEE is even better imho and WHO'S LOVING YOU is a good enough closure.
-
CRAZY MERMAIDAyaCrazy but talented
A great single by Aya. I love crazy mermaid more than the other two songs, but each one of them is great to listen at. She's a great J-rocker.
-
Sentaku no AsaAyaAnother great single by Aya
Everything put out by Aya is simply great, but this is the single i like the most, with each song being simply great. Sentaku no Asa is the best one of the 3 tracks present imho (I especially like the lyrics). As it seems to be the norm in Aya's singles, the last track JONA no Nikki is the most tranquil one of the 3, giving a great closure to the single.

OLIVIA inspi' REIRA (TRAPNEST) [w/ DVD, Limited Release]OLIVIA inspi' REIRA (TRAPNEST)A new great release from OLIVIA
Just like for the release by Anna Tsuchiya, I love this album. OLIVIA has such a great voice, and the songs are great, making me want more of her stuff. Her LIVE performance is good too, as good is the original animation clip on the DVD (but not as good as the one for WISH imho, which I've found to be the best one of all the original animation clips). Reccomanded to everyone, especially fans of OLIVIA.

Anna Tsuchiya inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES) [w/ DVD, Limited Release]Anna Tsuchiya inspi' NANA (BLACK STONES)Anna delivers another great album
I love everything Anna makes, and this is no exception. I have liked every single song present on the CD, and she is really great in the LIVE, even tho it is only 2 songs, but Anna is so charming LIVE it is incredible. Also, the original animation clip on the DVD is ok, better than the LUCY clip.
