Review by Kaji

These CD covers are meant for very thick CD cases, the kind to host 4 discs, at least twice the thickness of all regular CD case. For thinner cases, they will be too slack, and there will remain a large amount of plastic on both sides. I don't know any other reference from Nagaoka for intermediate thickness cases; slightly thicker cases that the standard size can fit in the regular "pink" pouches if very carefully inserted, but for example, my Nana Mizuki albums need covers from another brand.

Unfortunately, I discovered this single too late, so I hate to search deep through the web to get it for an insane price. But it's really worth it, even if there are only 3 songs, every of them has a very different flavor which makes this release very precious. If you can get it, please go forward eyes totally shut, I swear you won't regret it!

In the same fashion as her first release "Fairy Dance", this new release from Remi will make time flying by unnoticed to you. Gentle, but sometimes surprising, melodies combined to the amazing voice of this alas barely known songstress are a real delight and the album ends faster than you might think, with only one final wish: "Encore!"

Unmissable J-rock mini-album! All tracks are well worth the money. I especially love "Arcadia Girl" which is very surprising at the first time. Those debuting girls are already great profesionals and their music is original, varied and well mastered. Furthermore, the two discs come in a lovely (but a bit simple) double cardboard sleeve which opens like a folder which make it a beautiful object. Definitly THE release you have to buy for a rocking Christmas!

With this third release, which is summer-themed, the Girls Band succeeds again at delivering us a nice sample of their talent. Can you think of those typical episodes of anime where all the heroes are enjoying themselves on the beach at dawn? Listening to this album will no doubt remind you of this ^^ Whenever you feel depressed, tired, lonely, with Tancobuchin you can just insert joy into your CD player... And your smile is coming back instantly, guaranteed!

A nice pick. These girls have much energy and their fresh songs are amongst those that you keep in mind all the day.

A great choice if you want something relaxing, easy-listening. The wonderful voice of Remi may remind you the one of Kokia, as it has a similar lyricism. At the first listening I thought "those songs are all the same, I'll get bored" but eventually I found the end of the album came too fast! Melodies are minimalistic but very nice also.

If you don't already own the first release "IDZ", this might be worth buying as you'll get most of the band's discography live plus cover songs. If you already have it, think about it twice. Contents are basically the same (Yui and Moa still don't sing live except on the cover songs, musicians are only shaming...), with extra dancers. I bought it only for the cover songs because they show really how good the girls can sing, but then, I don't think it's really worth the price. A bit off-topic, but if the stage performances in the next "Budokan" release aren't better, I probably won't get that one.

I haven't ever heard of Nana-Chan before, but I enjoyed this album very much. She had such a pleasant voice with which she can do everything she wants. And she does so well! We travel from dark-inspired tracks to totally crazy ones via nice slow tunes, all of them being magical. Last but not least, the packaging is very nice!

I'm absolutely no fan of KOKIA, I find her studio albums totally vapid. But this DVD leaves me breathless! She's way more amazing live. If you think that music should give you emotion, shiver, and happiness, this is a must-buy!!

Once again, Kajiura-sama delivers us a marvel. Al fine and Consolation just leaved me breathless. Hanataba is so awesome with its accordion samples! And all the other new tracks are really good. Plus, the now classic Moonfesta, To the beginning, Manten... which are all great pieces.

With Hanae Tomaru and Asuka, it's a real marvel! Another must-have for all the fans of the genius, Kajiura-sama. Note: these DVDs are region-free!

Thanks to the SRS by CDJapan, I was able to get this collector and out-of-print album! In my request, I gave instruction for a precise copy which was not in optimal condition, to lessen the price. What was my surprise when I discovered in the box an almost brand new album! On the minus side, the order status is not really adapted to this kind of order and it may take several weeks for it to change from "Payment finalized" to "Shipped". We can't know if CDJapan has payed for the item, if they got it and are then processing the order, etc.

This road atlas seems to be a veritable reference in Japan. Cartography is well detailed. Features a complete list of "michi-no-ichi" ("road stations"), toll prices, ferries, a lot of city maps and a synthetic driveways map. You must know Japanese, as there is no English explanations at all. Also, the book may come to you a little damaged because of its large size.

No suspense: again, we have here a top-quality record. Maybe a bit lower than "Seventh Heaven", the first full album from the three girls; but pleasure is still here. Creativity and vocal talent, plus the magic of Kajiura-san. Features a nice photo booklet and a documentary, both about Boston's Anime Expo. Buy it!

...just extraordinary! As usual this DVD brings you into a spectacular show, flooding ears and eyes with pure magic. Top quality object for a top quality record. Whoah, totally amazing - don't miss it!

No bad surprises with Yuki Kajiura; as expected this DVD is really worth the buy. Yuuka is espacially talented here. It's always the same pleasure to hear and see these marvellous shows.

This DVD is a total must-have for any Yuki Kajiura fan! Well-chosen collection of songs, performed by very talented songstresses. It is a real pleasure for the ears (the songs are often better than the studio versions) and for the eyes.
