World World WorldASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATIONThe Worldy Sound of AKFG
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION (AKFG) has done it again with World World World. After a long, anticipated wait, this album blew me away. Their universally appealing sound made them famous not only in Japan, but throughout the rest of Asia, and this album proves why. World World World patched up the errors made in Fanclub and created a masterpiece which hasn't been seen since Sol-fa. With plenty of memorable tracks such as Wakusei (Planet), Leica, Night Diving and After Dark, World World World is fantastic from start to finish. Atarashii Sekai (Brand New World) gives a feeling of a cliffhanger at the end of the album, giving the feel of the creation of a new world compared to the one now, while Aru Machi no Gunjou (A Certain Aquamarine City) creates the feel of changing the world. I find Night Diving my personal favorite because Kensuke is given a good chunk of the song to sing, and their voices go well together. Overall, this is a very balanced album. There are no dull tracks and everything is so well-done that anybody who likes AKFG should pick it up.

Goku - Shohankei Enban - (Regular Edition)girugameshAn excellent single
This is easily the best that Girugamesh has had to offer so far, with wonderful masterpieces such as "Having Betrayed is Why", "Kanaeme Yume" and the single itself. Although some songs are fairly repetetive in comparison to each other (Kanaeme Yume and Goku are similar in a sense), they all have their own unique feelings and atmospheres. Having Betrayed is Why is a heartbreaking love song while Kanaeme Yume is a song with a sense of deep and terrible despair drenched in the lyrics. All in all, if you are a fan of Girugamesh, or are just getting into them, this single will definetly not let you down.

Thanks [Limited Release]w-inds.W-inds.' latest gem
THANKS is an incredible album produced by W-inds. It has some more energetic rock-like songs such as "Stomp", while it still retains the disco dance of Midnight Venus. The tracks compiled overall were very impressive, and W-inds. just keep on getting better! However, I have a few slight critisms -- a few songs seemed a bit half-hearted and rushed. They didn't have quite the same oomph as W-inds. usually has. Sup wassup!! is a song that comes to my mind for that, but it is catchy and will probably grow on you sooner or later. At any rate, this album is a wonderful addition for any W-inds. collection and is highly worth the price!
