Review by Sakura-chan

A greatest hits album full of 32 excellent R&B songs, especially the second disc is perfect! I think the older songs are the weakest but enjoyable anyway. For everybody who loves R&B this is highly recommended!

I can't say I like all the songs (but between 32 songs is even normal...). I like more ''the side of michael'' with their softer songs, the second disc called ''the side of satan'' is very hard, some songs are almost ''Dir en grey style'' with many screams from the singer. By now, ''PROTOPLASM'' and ''STIGMATA'' are probably my favourite songs from all the album.

Their debut mini-album is still their best work to me. Didn't like ''NOBLE'' and ''PRINCE & PRINCESS'' that much. ''ASCENDEAD MASTER'' is actually very good, so I hope ''JUBILEE'' will become soon my favourite Versailles' release, by now this is still my favourite one.

All her songs are covers from old songs, they all lack of inspiration and in the same collection there are covers of the covers! Unbelieveble! This is probably my worst Japanese purchase ever...

It took me three listens of the whole album before liking it, I still don't like TAKA's voice though... Not bad, not amazing, enjoyable.

When I think about a best album, I think about a single collection and here there are so many singles not included but... I know that AI had to decide what to include (between 23 A-sides!) in this best album and I think it was pretty hard. I can understand why she left out almost all her old singles, she wasn't famous yet and she decided to include album tracks and a new version of her super hit ''Story'' instead. All excellent songs but other excellent songs are left out, what a pity!

BONNIE PINK is a very talented singer for sure, her career is long but without remarkable successes (her only hit single is ''A Perfect Sky'') and I now understand why. She hasn't got so many songs that makes you think ''OMG, wonderful, amazing, a masterpiece !'', they are all ok but most of them fail to give you the feeling of excellent songs. There are many j-pop singers better than BONNIE PINK in my opinion. So I don't think this best album is a must have, enjoyable but not more.

AGGRESSIVE : 8/10 The song is catchy but I don't think dance music fits BoA so much Sweet Impact : 8/10 I don't get all the hate for this song ... My Way, Your Way : 6,5/10 it's ok, I think the rap save the song be with you. : 6,5/10 LOSE YOUR MIND : 9/10 not one of her best single ever but still the best to me of this year Girl In The Mirror : 8/10 quite catchy Happy Birthday : 6,5/10 nice Diamond Heart : 7,5/10 the quality of this song is not b-side to me, it could be a really nice summerish single but something leaks ... LOVE LETTER : 9/10 the best song together with ''LOSE YOUR MIND'' BRAVE : 6,5/10 ok Gyappu ni Yarareta! : 5/10 don't like it ... Style : 8,5/10 love it ! Smile again : 6/10 the song is pretty boring but her voice saves it Beautiful Flowers : 7/10 Best Friend : 6,5/10 another ballad, nice arrengement though Hey Boy, Hey Girl : 8/10 The DVDs are really beautiful, especially the live one, the PVs give me a mixed feeling, I like ''LOSE YOUR MIND'' and ''be with you.'' but not ''Sweet Impact'' and ''LOVE LETTER''.

''be with you.'' is ok, comparing it with ballads like ''Every Heart'', ''Merikuri'', ''Everlasting'', ''Winter Love'' and ''LOVE LETTER'' makes it sound even worse but it's nice to me. I can't stand ''Precious'' though, it's boring like hell.

Excellent album in every single way ! The non-single tracks are all more than just ok, ''Amai Wana'', ''Himitsu'', ''Under'', ''MORE'' and ''Black Cherry'' are my favorites. The PVs are all enjoyable, some of them like ''MORE'', ''Wonderland'' and ''Under'' are single quality to me. Wonderful concert in the 2nd DVD ! Definitevely a long step forward for Kumi after Black Cherry, which was very good too but it lacked a little in the non-singles tracks.

A good way to end the single series from Kingdom, after the R&B/Hip-Hop ''LAST ANGEL'', a pop song with a nice and relaxing tune. The b-side ''Bounce'' is very catchy and I like the remix of ''anytime'' too. The PV was shooted this summer, it's cute but too simple.

''GUILTY'' is without any doubt excellent, I think ''talkin' 2 myself'' is one of her best song ever, ''glitter'' and ''fated'' create a mix of sounds indispensable to cut off the massive content of rock in this album and ''Together When...'' is an excellent ballad. There is more rock in this album but thanks to songs like the title-track, ''My All'' and ''Untitled -for her-'' doesn't risulte monotone. To me Ayu did it again ! Talkin' about the DVD, I must admit the PVs are not so good for my tastes, my favourite is the ''(don't) Leave Me Alone'' one 'cause the other ones are too dark.

PIECES OF A DREAM : 10/10 very good debut single ! Point of no Return : 9/10 You Go Your Way : 9/10 Kimi wo Sagashiteta - New Jersey United- : 10/10 their best ballad ever to me ! FLOATIN' : 9/10 nice up-beat song It Takes Two : 10/10 the arrengement is awesome SOLID DREAM : 6/10 a bad copy of ''PIECES OF A DREAM'' ... Move On : 10/10 love it !!! XD My Gift To You : 9/10 really nice Ashita e Kaeru : 8/10 Us : 7/10 YOUR NAME NEVER GONE : 8/10 Now or Never : 10/10 so catchy !!! You Got Me : 10/10 I like the arrengement and the melody ! So In Vain : 8/10 mirage in blue : 9/10 good summerish song Itoshii Ito : 7/10 I used to hate this song for the arrengement but the melody is not that bad Long Long Way : 9/10 very good song Shiro no Toiki : 6/10 another song I used to hate XD Kimi ga Iru : 10/10 really excellent ! Wings of Words : 8/10 almost in love : 6,5/10 I like the lyrics but the melody is quite boring ... Two As One : 10/10 catchy, the song that made me buy this album XD Yakusoku no Basho : 5/10 nothing of extraordinary, maybe the worst song in this collection Tookage : 8/10 nice and I like the sound of the piano Top of the World : 10/10 I love the latin sound and it's damn catchy !

At first listen I didn't like ''LOSE YOUR MIND'' but now it has grown in me, it's not one of her best singles though. I like the PV, it's sexy and I like the coreography too.
