a-nation'05 BEST HIT LIVEV.A.WONDERFUL AYU VOCALS!
If you don't think Ayu can sing, I dare you to buy this!!! You will be blown away. Ayu sounded AMAZING. Hitomi Shimatani was amazing as well and very lively. Koda Kumi was cute back then...and not overly sexual and vulgar...this was when she actually was erokawaii. I'd recommend this. I take back when I said about A-Nation '06 in my review for it...THIS is the best A-nation.

a-nation '06 Best Hit LiveV.A.Best A-Nation Yet!
Everything was almost perfect. Ayu's performances are the real climax and the best part. Koda Kumi oversings; I wish she wouldn't of had that many performances...it was really annoying and she looked horrible in the outfit she was wearing. Otsuka Ai's performance was also hideous vocally. Pretty rough. I also missed BoA's live vocals when she lipsanc Key Of Heart. hitomi's performance may have been horrible vocally (she can't really sing)...but she was entertaining. Everyone else's performance was ok or just "nice". However, I'd buy this just for Ayumi and BoA. BoA may have lipsanc Key Of Heart, but that's the only one. She looked gorgeous too. Ayumi is always amazing and electrifying. This concert isn't the best first impression on Japanese musik though. I'd avoid if I was a first-timer.

Memorial address [CD + DVD]Ayumi HamasakiAyu's "kawaii" days
This was from Ayu's cute lil' days where she still slightly sang through her nose. It's beautiful regardless but I'd recommend "My Story" or "Secret" more. However, this is a lovely minialbum and definitely a MUST HAVE for Ayu fans.

Itsumo nandodemoYumi KimuraThe real grabs---Inochi no Namae
The real treat of this single is the b-side, which is even better than the main song. Great rare grab!

Boku wa Kuma [Regular Edition]Hikaru UtadaCUTE!
Really great single to buy and so cheap!!! You just gotta grab it; it's adorable -n- the song is really sweet. n_n cute side of Utada Hikaru.

Flavor Of LifeHikaru UtadaOne of the best singles ever
I actually cannot think of one single flaw for this single. It's perfection. The music and Hikki's vocals are just as beautiful as the lyrics...which are gorgeous and breath-taking. Absolutely one of the most beautiful and treasured things I own. There's nothing more to say than that.

BoA COMPLETE CLIPS 2004-2006BoABrought tears to my eyes...
I've been a BoA fan for about 4 years...I've watched her grow...watched her mature...bought all her albums, DVDs, singles...anything you can think of. I watched this and...really, tears were pouring. XD Just to see her grow...to see such a sweet little artist go from a naive yet talented young girl, to a more "sexy" teenager, and then into a mature woman. It really made me smile so big and I've never felt so proud of BoA before. This is definitely a MUST HAVE for BoA fans. You can't be without it in your collection. It's just so special...and if you love BoA and are as big of a true fan as I am, it will bring tears of happiness to your eyes. =')

BoA the Live - Ura BoA Kikase KeiBoABest J-pop concert I've ever seen
This is the absolute BEST Asian concert I've ever seen in my life...and I've seen over 20 by many different artists. This one stands out. Not only is it entertaining, but BoA's vocals are ASTONISHING!!! She really shows how her voice has grown over the years by this display of beauty, grace, & talent. "Moon & Sunrise", "Ain't No Sunshine", "Winter Love" are the outstanding performances of this live that REALLY impressed me. It's a true must-have for anyone who wants to hear a TRULY talented artist. She's more than just cute outfits, dancing, and a sweet face. She really shows her maturity as a vocalist in this live. Everyone always views BoA as "the best J-pop dancer"...which she is, but in this concert...it takes your focus off her up-tempo moves and really showcases her brilliant range and angelic smooth voice. People needed to see this. The girl can dance, songwrite, and most of all...SING!!! Her dancing isn't the only thing she has going for her =P This is a drop-jaw, "you will be amazed" concert show!!!!

Prima Rosa [CD+DVD]Hitomi ShimataniAmazing...*_*
This album is a beautiful display of Hitomi's beauty & growth since her last album. The artwork and photos inside the booklet are by-far the most beautiful compared to her older albums. The new tracks are spectacular...accompanied by older tracks which are always fan-favorites...making this album a MUST HAVE for Hitomi fans. Hitomi Shimatani is really someone different and special. You won't find another artist like her. She's definitely unique. The DVD is also a very nice thing to have. Only complaint is the pv for "Ramblin'"...I was really looking forward to it, but it turned out to be quite boring. =/

Possession/My All For YouJYONGRIPerfection
A perfect debut for this gorgeous Japanese songstress. "Possession" is by far one of her best songs...very upbeat -n- fun..."My All For You" is an AMAZING ballad. The English version of "Possession" is a MUST HAVE because her English is flawless. She's very multi-talented. All songs written by JYONGRI and the music as well! She will be a huge success. If you're new to J-pop, this is the perfect first impression. MUST HAVE---HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Hop, Step, Jump!JYONGRIWonderful song---very catchy
Very cute -n- energetic song! ^_^ JYONGRI IS SO CUTE!!! You'll love this. The b-side is very nice too.

Kumi Koda Calendar 2007 (Try-X Ltd.)Kumi KodaHer body is ugly =/
Koda Kumi's body isn't really "all that" like people make it out to be. Not only is she too skinny and you can basically see through her, but it looks wrinkly. x_x The pictures in this calendar are mostly Ku trying to be sexy...and it's obvious to see she's trying too hard...as always. This calendar is not suitable for kids under 18...as it is vulgar and sexual. A waste of money

Hitomi Shimatani Calendar 2007 (Try-X Ltd.)Hitomi ShimataniThe best calendar I've ever seen
Don't let the cover picture for this calendar fool you...this is the most amazing, most beautiful calendar I've ever seen. Every picture is something new, cute, and exciting. Hitomi Shimatani is a very elegant and beautiful artist, making her calendar 100x better than revealing artists' like Koda Kumi's. Hitomi is an artist not to be missed. All the pictures are very beautiful and none are rude or perverted. All very classy and REALLY CUTE!!! ^_^ I didn't expect such a cutsie style from Hitomi...but this calendar shows she can be cute too =P
-
Ayumi Hamasaki Calendar 2007 (Try-X Ltd.)Ayumi HamasakiSO CUTE!!!
This calendar of Ayu is so adorable and so unique. You'll love to add it to your collection. ^_^ A true MUST HAVE. I wouldn't say it's the best Japanese calendar of 2007...(the best would be Hitomi Shimatani's)...but it's nothing like Koda Kumi's (who basically sells her body) and nothing like Mika Nakashima's (which I'm sorry to say was very disappointing and SCARY) O_O No rude or dirty pictures...Ayu is too good for that.

never+land [Jacket A / Limited Edition]misonoWonderful Debut Album n_n
I'd say this is a WONDERFUL debut album for lil' miimi. I bought all editions -n- they're all perfect. This edition is a MUST HAVE though if you're really into misono considering the deluxe booklet it comes with. Only thing keeping me from giving this a "5 star" review is the lack of new songs. I understand misono was very busy on her weight loss program, but Avex needed to let her focus a bit more on her music than her looks. I'd say the best *new* track, however, is track 7. It's AMAZING! I wish she would've released it as a single. It reminds me of her time back in Day After Tomorrow. I wouldn't compare this album to more experienced artists' albums like Ayumi Hamasaki's "Secret" or BoA's "Made In Twenty (20)"...I'm considering that it's misono's very 1'st album...and it's not fair to compare it to artist who have had many albums. However, for a debut, it's magnificent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! n_n

The DVD is a MUST HAVE as well!!! ^_^ HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! n_n

A Best 2 -Black- [CD+2DVD]Ayumi HamasakiDefinitely Ayu's Best!!!
I have been an Ayumi Hamasaki fan for years and I must say, I've been highly anticipating a wonderful Ayu collection such as this to be released. Both black and white editions are a MUST HAVE! They're a set! You can't have one without the other! =P Words can't describe how perfect this is. The concert footage on the 2DVDs is just...AMAZING. If you miss out on this, how can you call yourself an Ayu fan? =P This is the most wonderful "best" collection I've EVER seen from an Asian artist...no, ANY artist. It is not to be missed! Ayu's voice is stunning and so unique...as well as her lyrics. You don't have to know Japanese to understand Ayu's message. It's so strong and you feel it deep within your heart...like I always do whenever I hear her music. If you know of music at all, you must know of Ayumi Hamasaki. She's a rare artist that is too special to overlook. Don't miss this chance to obtain one of the best CDs you'll ever own.
