Miracle Rocket Rocket G5Imitation PoPs Uchu Sentai NOIZHard and Catchy
This two-track release of NOIZ is half-way typical for them, half-way not. "Miracle Rocket G5" has a hard melody with very captivating riffs, but Taka's high and rather melodic voice rounds the whole song. The B-Track has less catch elements and therefore something to rock. I wouldn't recommend this CD for those who buy some NOIZ-stuff for the first time, but fans of the band will surely appriciate it.

White CanvasUchu Sentai NOIZAntithesis
The two tracks on this Imitation PoPs Uchuu Sentai NOIZ single are like an antithesis. 'White Canvas' is a very catchy, romantic rock-ballad with many differing aspects within the melody. Melodic, fluent refrains are followed by sometimes quiet, sometimes powerful rap-parts. Very impressing! 'Kiss' is a harder song, something rock-ish, dominated by Taka's vocals and a very neat rhythm. I definitely recommend this CD.

Sakura / Drama [Limited Edition]LareineRomantic!
I really like "Sakura/Dorama" by Lareine, it's typically for Lareine, fluffy and romantic. Fans won't do a wrong thing by buying it.

Dokeshi no BukyokuLAREINEWow!
I have to admit that I've been surprised when I listened to this release by Lareine. It's not so typical, because Doukeshi is made for dancing Tango, very rhythmical and passionate and therefore kind of less romantical as Lareine songs used to be. The PV is mostly a mix of concert-footage and pretty Kamijo-centric, nevertheless nicely made.

Ego-styleImitation PoPs Ucyuusentai NoizAmazing
"EGO-style" is really amazing. After a long time without releasing any album, NOIZ understand to suprise their fans with high-quality music, trying new genres throughout the whole album. This album is a really great mix of typically NOIZ-ish music and new compositions. My personal favourites are "Love Doctor", "1988" and "Thank you for the music". Definately, "EGO-style" is a must have for every NOIZ-fan.

JAPAN TOY'S PANIC GekihaImitation PoPs Uchu Sentai NOIZMAJESTIC
This is NOIZ' first live DVD but even so, it's great. Even the DVD comes without any extra-stuff or footage, the concert itself is amazing. Great performance - great music. The little 'booklet' also contains some interesting and funny pictures. ;) A must have for every fan and a nice option for those who haven't seen NOIZ in concert yet.

Kesenai Ame / Muchi na Inochi eFatimaExcellent!
Even this single seems to be plain and simple without any great extras, the music which it brings is amazing. While "Kesenai Ame" sounds rather happy, "Muchina inochi he" is a very smooth and romantic song. Fatima obviously extended their musical rage with this little single, prooving that they keep changing without loosing this little something which makes them so genuine and unique.

Neighborhood Number [CD+DVD]
KuRtNeighborhood Number [CD+DVD]KuRtOkayThis compilation of KuRt's former works is pretty nice for those who got into KuRt after their first year and who missed KuRt's previous single-releases. Besides the PV it doesn't contain anything new and in my opinion it's not worth buying it for the PV, which comes along, only. For new fans it's surely not bad but those who bought their singles before, really don't need this item unless they're collecting. ;)
