Review by Jet Rankin

Nice book in principal however there are plenty of members simply missing. These members are on the front and back covers so you would think they would be included. Missing members are Sayaka Ichii, Ai Kago, Asami Konno, Makoto Ogawa, Eri Kamei, Koharu Kusumi, Junjun, Linlin, Aika Mitsui and Kanon Suzuki. Whats that all about?

If you want many HP videos then this is suitable for you. A great compilation and also the only way to get Yuko Nakazawa and Yuki Maedas last videos since they had no DvD single release. Good value as well considering what each video would normally cost each.

Yet again C-ute continue to be a sensation amongst the Hello Project their popularity continues to rise will 2008 be as great for them as 2007 ? I cant help but think it will be even better.. Another great concert with the fun and lively C-ute.

Yuki Maeda the Enka side of the Hello Project. The quintessentially enigmatic voice herself returns with this superb cd the second track Zanza Koi Shigure itself is more than worthy of release and is masterly sung by Yuki Maeda.

Great fun concert. Nice to see the that the performers are enjoying the concert as much as the fans. Good performance all round. C-ute are certainly improving all the time.

Another great song by Morning Musume. Very catchy and nice to see Yossie get a leading part in this song. Just makes you wonder why she did not get more leads like this one. This version also comes with a beautiful photobook that captures the group wonderfully. Nicely done i hope they continue with this type of limited edition cd.

Its pretty staright forward really if you have a fondness for knee sox and other similar garments then this dvd is well worth getting. I would of scored this dvd alittle higher but it got alittle repetitive and i found some of the girls had more of an it factor than others. The girl of the front cover of the dvd was clearly one of those that had the it factor and i for one will certainly be looking for more of her material.

Simply put a great Ayumi Hamasaki dvd for a low price for those who dont have many or any of her early stuff this is a great way to boost your collection.

Up beat cheerful feel good music brough to you by Morning Musume. Great song, better video also includes a making off as well.

Another great dvd by Yuko Ogura but by her standards not her best by a long shot but still worth getting in my opinion. The first scene is painfully cute but i find after that one i actually started to lose alittle intrest in the rest as it ws not upto her normal standard. So alittle disapointing but i dont regret buying it.

Great dvd had a photoshoot feel about but not quite offshot which i feel was a good thing as if the whole dvd had been like that i may of felt hard done by. Nice set of cards come with this very limited release and the first few to get it will even get an additional bonus in the form of a photo. The box it all comes in is not of a regular dvd size in its dimensions so does not slot in very co-operatively with other dvds in your collection.

In my opinion a contender for all time best folk song concert on any chart. Fantasic throughout and it never loses the plot at any point. Two great talents with great voices, you can tell how much the crowd loved this one and you can feel the ambience almost as if you were. Its rare to ever be able to say that about a concert on dvd. My only regret is i was not there when it actually happened.

In my opinion abit of an odd idea that fell short of the mark. ok Ayaka komatsu looks good as always and theres alittle cosplay thrown in on this dvd for good measure. Although the concept has potential for this dvd it was prehaps produced poorly and i never found myself wanting to watch it again. Great for Ayaka fans still but not for those who collect Idol dvds in general. The basic concept of this dvd is Ayaka is playing a game on her computer and seems to get drawn into it and interacts with it,like i said it sounds like it has potential but its slow pace and simply appaling storyline let it down.

Although these calendars seem alittle expensive when you actuially see the size of them you will understand why and then they dont seem that expensive. As for this one in particular its a fun, sweet and very cute calendar that any W fan will fall in love with and who can blame them.

Not all groups do the dvd/cd combo releases but when they do they are obvioues better value than the ones who dont. Fun upbeat song kind of mixing eurobeat and jpop together to create an effective beat.

As a fan of the tv series i thought the stage play was great. Yes very cheesy but that made it even better, bad special effects ! again thats part of it. An absoulute must for any PGSM fan, in my opinion my favourite dvd in my PGSm collection.

As a fan of the entire Seifuku dolls series you really cant go wrong here and this is one of the best ones. For any lover of seifuku clad idol goodness this is a must very easy on the eyes and in my opinion also Aoki Akaris best dvd more playful than her others.

In my opinion not as quite as good as the rest of the series. That is not because this dvd lacks in anyway its more a case of the others are exceptional. So in otherwords if you like the rest of this series i would still suggest getting this one.

Another catchy song from Aya Matsuura probably her most upbeat one so far. Good video also includes an alternative video which i think comes amongest her best. Well worth getting for any fan of Aya Matsuura really demostartes her vocal range well.

Another great compilation release from the Hello Project Golden Age. Great value for money simply put consists of all 8 of Tanpopos releases including alternate versions of all the PVs that had them. A great addition for any Tanpopo fans collection.
