Sakura no HanabiratachiAKB48Pretty GoodThis is an amazing group. They have all the potential of being as great (if not better) than the popular Morning Musume. With their school-girl style and their 80's like sound, you are bound to love them. Since they are not so popular not many people have tried their music, but for those willing to give it a try I say go for it! You get an amazing single and a cool card too. And if you get a chance you should definetly see the video as well!

Say AnythingXMy mind is still chaos and. . .This is one of my (many) favorite songs by X [Japan]. It leans a little more towards their sad and somewhat romantic side (popular sound in Forever Love and Endless Rain). This is one of X's more unique songs (in my opinion). And gets you every time you hear it. And having Silent Jealousy after it is the best you could ask for on such a small cd. I think Silent Jealousy compliments Say Anything very well. It has a little more energy and a more upbeat sound and seems to be the exact opposite (but that illusion is why I love X so much). If you are either a new fan or an old fan that has to have it all, I recommend this. For those that haven't heard X yet, I'd go with this and a more popular song like Blue Blood or Forever Love.

Roman Hikou [Regular edition]Psycho le CemuI love this songI must admit that after I saw the PV I just had to have this cd. It is by far one of the best songs they have, although I think it is a cover of an earlier 80's group. But the song is so great, that even those that don't speak Japanese will soon be singing the words all day long. I must admit it isn't the very best (I love Gekiai Merry-Go-Round) but it sure is above the rest. And it comes with cute little stickers of them. For those of you that want to start your collection of Psycho le Cemu cds, singles, and dvds; I'd recommend this to be on the top of your list. But if you want to just get a taste of this band, go for Frontiers, where you will be able to hear a lot more from this band.

Faith [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]HYDEBest CD This Year!Despite what I had heard about this album already, I had decided to buy it. And let me just say, I was in no way dissapointed. Hyde sings beautifully and better then ever (even his English is better). I really love Season's Call, and for some reason I can't get Mission out of my head. Although this album is not as great as Roentgen (could anything be?), I am truly happy to own this cd. And the poster isn't too bad either. As for those who aren't really religious, or haven't heard Hyde yet and are considering it. . . Just go for it. I promise you it will be the best music choice you will ever make.

Hinokio (English Subtitles)Japanese MoviePinokio with a twistThis was a very good movie. It was sad, touching, interesting, and funny all the way through. Although many would call it more of a 'chick-flick', this is one of those movies that right from the beginning you are glued to the screen and you can't wait to see what happens next. The actors are very good and make it more realistic, and make the robot seem like an ordianry everyday person. The plot line isn't too complicated or thick, but simplicity seems to make this story even better.

Season's Call [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]HYDECool Sticker, Great Song, And decent DVDI'm really glad and excited that Hyde is releasing more of his great music this year. I really do love "Season's Call". It's a very upbeat sounding song, and Hyde's voice makes it even better. Although it is my first 'official' Hyde cd, I am in no way dissaponted. It even comes with a cool sticker, which is the actual obi and is as big as the cd cover itself. I just wish I had a decent place to put it. I gave it a 4 because I didn't really like "Unexpected".

Nana Standard EditionJapanese Movie7's are always luckyWhat can I realy say about this movie. . . except that I love it! When I finally got this movie, I watched it over and over (watched it today even). I really love Mika Nakashima's Punk style, although her English isn't too good. For those that haven't read the manga (like me) I suppose this would be a very good beginning into the Nana 'world', I know it sparked my interest. I just wonder, if they really played those instruments. . . .
