BIGBANG The Clips Vol.1BIGBANGNot bad
I like their PVs (for one, they're pretty, and secondly some of them have good stories in it) so this is a good collection I guess. One thing though - this DVD does not include the making-of videos of the PVs.

Heart [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]Yuna ItoNearly perfect debut album.
I would have rated it 5, but I'm fully aware that there are some worse-than-mediocre songs in there. No, I don't mean her vocals - it's beautiful as always. All other tracks are really good though. Of the new songs, only Workaholic managed to stick. But the songs that were on singles previously were great. The DVD is also worth every yen. I was literally awed by the prettiness of the PVs, especially Precious, in which she's wearing a wedding dress, and all the rose petals and sparkley things floats around her. Just pure beauty. And it helps that Yuna Ito herself is a kind of beauty too. She looks good in almost everything. Sad that the cover for this album is a little... hideous to put it nicely.

CHE.R.RY [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]YUIWonderful upbeat and cute song from YUI!
YUI had never disappointed me, and this is no exception. The title track is an upbeat and happy songs, while the B-side is more slow-paced and relaxed. This PV is one of the rare times you can see YUI smile (in PVs and photoshoots that is) as of yet.

Utada United 2006Hikaru UtadaHikki returns with a wonderful LIVE.
If you're a fan of Hikki (both pre-hiatus and post-hiatus), this is one LIVE dvd that you'll not want to miss. I personally loved her Ultra Blue songs, and therefore I'm really glad for the inclusion of those songs. I'm only sad that she didn't sing BLUE. The Be My Last performance is awesome. dareka no negai ga kanau koro is heart-wrenching. And Colors is rearranged as a ballad. The encore lifts the spirit. Can't express how much I loved this LIVE. Go Hikki!

FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN Original SoundtrackGame Music<3
If you love FFVII:AC (and music), you'll LOVE this OST. All the tracks are pure orchestral greatness. Believe it or not, orchestra and rock elements actually fuses in this OST. (I know some other examples of that but well, who cares? XD) I love this OST, especially One-Winged Angel.

Home [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]Angela AkiSimply blown away.
This is one of the best CDs I've ever bought. And I've bought plenty. I love every single track. Especially the last track. Angela Aki has a great voice, and a great talent for composing and playing the piano. All the songs are piano songs (with of course other instruments but piano is the main instrument), and it's a nice refreshing change from the other mainstream songs. Buy this and you'll not be disappointed! The only complain I have got is that perhaps she can change the CD cover style already? It seemed like she's using photos from the same photoshoot for all her singles and this too. XDD But still, that doesn't affect how awesome this album is. =^^=

Nameless Liberty.Six Guns... -Tour Final- at Budokan [Limited Edition]GazetteNot to be missed!
This DVD is worth every single cent of the price! I did not regret one bit buying it. The LIVE is pure awesome Gazette greatness while the bonus disc shows us how bonded Gazette is, and also, it's full of humorous footage. Gazette is still young at heart it seems. I cannot get sick of rewatching it. Get it while there's still some or else you'll regret it for the rest of your life!

Good-bye daysYUI for Kaoru AmaneWow...
YUI never fails to give me an awesome song... and this time, she really outdid herself. Good-bye days is a song that's worth every single cent of what this costs. It's so touching that I was moved to tears... and it's not those kind of sad ballads. You can hear the hope. It's ironic, because her character in the movie has got an incurable illness. And I haven't even gotten to Skyline yet. Skyline is also an encouraging song, and it's also worth everything. It's uplifting too and can cheer you up on days you've lost hope. It's happy line is yet another song that's awesome too. Nothing YUI puts out has ever disappointed me, and this is no exception. Two words: Get it!

ULTRA BLUEHikaru UtadaPure greatness.
This is love, I tell you. Utada Hikaru came back with an awesome album that'll blow you off your feet. Sure, her music had changed... but the quality is still there. In fact, I love this style even more than her previous. Every single song on this album is love. Even if it doesn't hook me at first listen, it did after a few more listens... and for good. I've been replaying "Blue" and "Making Love" for who knows how long already! I'm not disappointed at all by this album. In fact, I feel that she have outdid herself.

Miyaviuta - DokusoMiyaviGreat album!
Miyavi works acoustic wonders! From start to finish, it's all pure acoustic bliss. I especially love the song "'aishiteru' kara hajime you". He sings it really gently, you can feel that he cherishes the song. The acoustic version of "We love you ~sekai wa kimi wo aishiteru~" is really great too. I can say that it's even better than the studio one, but of course, I'm someone who loves acoustic versions of songs. In conclusion, DON'T HESITATE. BUY IT! =^^=

Adult [w/ DVD, first pressing only limited release]Tokyo JihenAn album worthy of your money!
Although I'm not that satisfied with the album, it's still worth my money. I like the songs "kenka joutou", "himitsu", "shuraba"' and "tegami". The "himitsu" LIVE that came with the DVD is simply stunning too. That is what made me love the song so much. All in all, Shiina Ringo (tokyo jihen) had came out with more great music again!

Nil [w/ DVD, first pressing only limited release]GazetteGreat album!
This album is definitely worth every single cent I'd spent on it. From its cover to its music, everything is wonderful. I especially love the songs "Bath Room", "D.L.N.", "SHADOW VI II I", "BARETTA", "SILLY GOD DISCO", "Cassis", and recently got into "taion" because of the PV. "Cassis" is still my all time favourite though. Gazette had never disappointed me and this album simply exceeded my expectations.

FarewellTomiko VanGreat Solo Debut!
A nice break from DAI, Van Tomiko is going Jazz. Before I heard 'Hold me...', I woiuld not have thought that her voice would suit the genre that well. But yes, I'm wrong. Her voice is indeed very suitable for the genre. She's not going pure jazz though. 'complacence' and 'nue no naka yoru' still hold essences of DAI rock. Her cover of 'a dream is a wish your heart makes' is wonderful too. Putting aside her english which could still use some improvements, I can say that I love her version more than the original. 'horoscope' and 'HOLY planet' are two ballads I love very much. Especially 'horoscope'. Her voice shines so much in it. Overall, this album is definitely worth the buy. It has a fair share of both ballads and rock in it, and it could also introduce you to jazz! PS: Those expecting DAI music should be warned.

From Me To YouYUILove her debut album!
YUI's voice is beautiful and very real. Her lyrics are touching and yes, the overused word, beautiful. In this album, I love all her singles songs and I love 'I can't say' and 'Blue wind' too. I really love her music and I must say this is definitely worth every single cent and more that you'll gonna spend on this. If I were to state a setback, it would be that there is no YUI acoustic songs in here. I love her YUI acoustic versions of her singles.

Dear my friend / Itoshi Hito [Regular Edition]MiyaviLove it!
Dear my friend is a happy song while itoshii hito is more intense. Each song have its own goodness but I love Dear my friend more. Perhaps because I always liked miyavi's personality a lot and dear my friend really shows his fun-loving and friendly personality. Definitely worth the buy just for Dear my friend alone!
