If you like J-pop, don't miss out these 2 CDs ! They contain 20+ T.M.Revolution super-hits from 1996 to now, including "Heart of Sword" (Rurouni Kenshin ending theme), "INVOKE" (Gundam Seed opening theme), "Meteor" (Gundam Seed insert song), "ignited" (Gundam Seed Destiny opening song), "vestige" and much, much more ! If you don't know his older songs, then this is a good time to hear them. A lot of them were quite big hits in Japan, like "HIGH PRESSURE" and "WHITE BREATH" that are TMR classics. Most of the songs are catchy and great, and Takanori's vocals are superb. I highly recommend it !

This DVD compiles the most popular songs of Namie's "idol" career. Even if most of them are quite old, they are big hits, and classics that are still great to listen and watch. It's also a good way to see the evolution of Namie's image, through her works produced by TK. As for me, I have known about J-pop thanks to Namie, so these songs are very precious to me... I think this is a must-have, and it's cheap so why wait any longer ?

Most of the original versions of the songs included in this album sound very old now, and hearing the newly arranged versions of big hits like "HIGH PRESSURE" or "HOT LIMIT" is really refreshing. It's great to see that TMR is taking the fans' opinions into account. But this CD is not only for TMR fans. I recommend it for everyone because it includes different music styles from rock to ballads with great, catchy melodies and Takanori's powerful and beautiful voice.
