Review by Ling

I had forgotten how this sounded. I watched this movie years ago and the music immediately made me reminisce!

This is just epic! I highly recommend purchasing this if you can and whilst it’s available! This is a nostalgic trip back in time to emotive synths and vocals. The timeless theme song will never go out of style.

This is a really clean pressing of a classic. I really enjoy Ryuichi Sakamoto’s ambient works - very creative and emotive with the use of clever samples. If you love enjoying a moment, this is your perfect soundtrack!

Great packaging and design and the music sings! There are a few crackles and pops in this picture disc release. But if you overlook these, the sound is beautiful , rich and dynamic. Recommend if you also want the Japanese repackaging.

I was so happy when it was announced this would be released. I went to one of the shows and was curious what the other two acts were like. It’s surpassed my expectation and a wonderful way to celebrate Ayu’s achievements.

This release is so premium. It includes two concerts and is shot very well. Namie's signature performance style is maintained and she sparkles in her own way. It truely is a great way to send off the original queen of hip - pop.

I was super excited to receive this and see the beautiful deluxe packaging. I did attempt to enter into the lottery to purchase he premium concert ticket, but alas ... no luck. I will spend my hours listening to this release. The refreshed versions of the songs are a nice update, without taking away too much of the originals' essence. For those die hard followers of Hikaru - highly recommended!

With all the releases of late, this one includes the elusive Fly me to the moon by Clair. The packaging is simple, but the music speaks volumes. This is highly recommended for those die-hard Evangelion fans.

The product does exactly what it says on the packaging. It's simple to use and I've yet to ascertain if it scratches the disc or not. So far so good.

Music is awesome! I was so happy that Commmons would repress this and ship it overseas. Whilst I was not impressed with the poppies of the '12' release, I had to give this a shot. I was happy that it was not as 'poppy' and maintained the ambient quality of the intended sound. The packaging is beautiful and whilst I haven't heard the original pressing (as it was cut and pressed by another person/plant) this is a good pressing to have in your collection.

I was originally hesitant to order this as some of the recent vinyl pressings from Commmons has been noisy and scuffed. I was impressed by the sound quality. It is quiet and hardly any pops or cracks - sounds as it should! Although some of the discs were scuffed, there was no impact to the audio quality. For those who want to collect Sakamoto's older releases, this is a solid repress.

The music is a welcome return to form for our queen! The packaging is deluxe and thicker than usual jewel cases. The audio is clean and includes Japan-only bonus track. Although the bonus track is now available on streaming services, there is just something about having the original physical version that is not heavily compressed. Celine's vocal soars!

I was impressed by the sound quality of this release. I was concerned about the quality right out of the packaging as I noticed scuffing and a piece of drilled out vinyl sitting on the playing surface on disc 2! I was concerned it scratched the disc creating pops, but thankfully it didn't! Hopefully no others have experienced this quality check fail. I'd recommend this release, the music from Joe Hisaishi is beautiful and transports you to a wonderful place.

This is such a nice throwback to her first Cinepoly release. Yes, some of the songs are out of date but there is a charm captured in this release where Faye was really trying to make a mark in the business, supported by her producer. The packaging is good and includes upscaled images, but they did the best they could with 30+ year old material.

Although the music here is dated, the pressing is done well and the packaging is amazing! I didn't expect that they would also include the original poster! The images were not poorly upscaled and the resolutions for the poster was spot on. I'm speechless.

Bonus points for the Great pressing and packaging! The are clear nods to the original pressing and quality of the music. I think they did a wonderful job here and on the other two early Faye/Shirley releases.

This release manages to polish an almost a 3 decade + release. The sound quality is beautiful and not too harsh. Packaging is lush and although they tried to clean up the up-scaled images, it is not too obvious in the printing.

R & B influences continue in this release and Faye starts to show a rebellion side in her music and vocal style. Although this music is no longer in fashion, it mimics the production styles released in Japanese and US markets of the time. The title track remains a big favourite of mine.

This was one of my favourite release back in the 90s. The playfulness of the songs offered here are superior to the mundane Canto-pop of that time. Faye pushed so many boundaries whilst appeasing the Hong Kong crowd. Always an innovator Faye started to show her vocal creativity and a voice to be reckoned with.

This release is super clear. I was concerned that the mastering would be sub-par given the CD version was ordinary. This release really showcases the vocal styling of Faye and whilst most of the songs are covers of her previous Cantonese songs, the originals make up for it.
