Linkage Ring [w/ DVD, Limited Edition/Type B]GARNiDELiALinkage Ring
Here comes GARNiDELiA's debut album from their new major record label, DEFSTAR. GARNiDELiA achieved so much in their first year, and this album chronicles it all. All the songs were rerecorded for this album, and they truly sound amazing. Possibly their most recognised song from their independent era LAMB sounds amazing here, and its so nice to see it receive an official physical release. This album is the perfect mix of new and old songs, it's a must have for any fan. The DVD contains 3 music videos and 3 live performances from Stellacage, and they sound just as great live!

FIRE STARTER [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]SPYAIRFire Starter
Very pleased with this purchase. The CD comes with a post card which is safely stored, and inside the packing of the CD there is a sheet of temporary tattoos with the band's logo! The CD is very big for a single, and is slightly larger than the size of an average album. This edition comes with a DVD containing the music video, and a behind the scenes making of the music video, both of which are very enjoyable. Altogether, the DVD lasts about 10 minutes.

Majiru Yoru: Nemurasenai WakuseiHello SleepwalkersMajiru Yoru: Nemurasenai Wakusei
This is Hello Sleepwalkers debut album, and it does not disappoint! The tunes here are still present in their work 3 years later, and its fascinating to hear the beginning sounds of this band. A must have for any fan of Hello Sleepwalkers.

Masked Monkey AwakeningHello SleepwalkersMasked Monkey Awakening
A great album! This albums follows 2 years after Hello Sleepwalkers debut album, and they sound amazing! For many, the stand out track will undoubtedly be GOYA NO MACHIAWASE, Noragami's opening. There are a few songs in English, most notably Comic Relief and Bloody Mary. Whilst the pronunciation can sometimes be shaky, the English is very good otherwise, and as a native English speaker, make sense. My only downside to this would be that the album is in a slipcase rather than a normal CD case, making it look quite small on your shelf.

Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride) 12 [Regular Edition] (Margaret Comics)Io SakisakaAo Haru Ride volume 12
As the penultimate volume, this volume perfectly sets the stage for the ending of this manga. Even in the last chapter of this volume, Sakisaka Io has thrown in a few twists and surprises, sure to keep any fan on the edge of their seat just when they thought it was safe to relax. The cover wraparound is a beautiful drawing of Kou, with Futuaba on the back cover.

Sen no Tsubasalivetune adding Takuro Sugawara (from 9mm Parabellum Bullet)Sen no Tsubasa
A great CD! Fans of Hamatora will be glad to hear this as the second season's opening theme. The CD itself only has two tracks (the song and an instrumental version) making the CD feel slightly short. The song is great however, and should be played at the loudest volume! Also a the note, the cover art IS meant to be sideways, so don't worry!

Liquid Soul and Solid BloodHello SleepwalkersLiquid Soul and Solid Blood
Upon first hearing the songs on this album, there was no stand out for me. However, after listening a few times I have found the songs to be some of their best yet. HYAKKIYAKOU is an instant favourite, as is Ray of Sunlight. I must admit at first I was slightly sceptical about Worker Ant, but I love it now. Akiresu to Kame has a lovely melody, and in typical Hello Sleepwalkers fashion the chorus takes on a bit of a twist from the rest of the song, as does the ending. Asa ni Futari Ha has a much softer feel than the rest of the album. Deji Doui is simply amazing, and Narumi's vocals really complete the feel of the song. The only English song this time is Ray of Sunlight, and as a native English speaker, the lyrics do make sense, and Shuntaro's pronunciation is for the most part very good. I would recommend this album not only to help support Hello Sleepwalkers, but also to hear some very good music!
