MELL First Live Tour 2008 ScopeMELLAwesome DVD!
This dvd featuring the live concert "SCOPE" is a great proof of how talented MELL is. Through all the concert she performed 14 songs with her beautiful and powerful voice and the way how she uses the stage is remarkable. There're lots of cool segments on this dvd and wether you're a fan of this lady or not, you shouldn't miss a concert this quality. I recommend it 100%. Greetings.

TV Anime Hayate the Combat Butler (Hayate no Gotoku!) Outro Theme: Proof / no vain [Regular Edition]MELLA great single.
This single is one of the best for me because it has "Proof" and "no vain" that are two great songs and their instrumental versions are also good. MELL has an incredible voice and she's a lovely person, I'm a fan of her and this single shouldn't be off of the hands of any fan. It's true that this regular edition doesn't have the PV of "no vain" but if you, like me, have "MELLSCOPE (CD+DVD)", there's another version of it that is almost the same of that PV. I strongly recommend it. Greetings.

TV Anime Hayate the Combat Butler (Hayate no Gotoku!) New Intro Theme: Shichiten Hakki Shijo Shugi! [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]KOTOKOA good single with a funny PV.
This single is a little different compared with others like Re-sublimity, Real Oni Gokko or BLAZE that show a more serious or mature face of KOTOKO. This one is a good single with both good songs but the high point is the PV of "Shichiten Hakki Shijo Shugi!" that is a funny short story with KOTOKO involved of course. She looks so nice on this PV that si you're a fan or her you shouldn't miss this single at any cost. Greetings.

Blaze [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]KOTOKOOne of my favorites singles.
Let's see, I did never watch Shana that is the anime where "BLAZE" works as the opening so, I just know this song from the single. About their songs, "Sociometry" is a fair song with a fast rhythm but nothing spectacular but if we talk about "BLAZE" that's another story, this song is great by their rhythm, effects and, of course, the marvellous voice of KOTO-chan. The instrumental versions are also very good and its PV, that is nothing remarkable, shows KOTOKO dressed in two different outfits being the "Megane Office Lady" my favorite (you shouldn't miss this ^^). As I said, "BLAZE" is a great song and one of my favorites singles from this lady and, for that, I strongly recommend it to get it. Greetings.

"RIDEBACK" Intro Theme: RIDEBACK [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]MELLA single for fans.
Well, a single with just one song with different versions is a risky bet and this isn't an exception. And is not the first of this type from MELL, you should remember "Red Fraction" with a similarity structure but that song is way better than this one. Still, if you (like me) are a fan of this lady you should get this single because the song is pretty good and to have the chance to watch another PV with MELL on it is always a great experience. I'm not a fan of this type of singles but I'm a fan of MELL, so, I recommend it. Greetings.

Idol One: Kura-Kura - Nonamin in HawaiiNonami TakizawaNonami's still the lovely one we know.
This Kura-Kura DVD from Nonami Takizawa give us the chance to see how she's improved her skills as a gravure idol and, to tell you the truth, she's doing great. Every chapter of this release bring us a charming Nonamin, sometimes childish, sometimes serious, sometimes sexy, but always so lovely that you can't take your eyes out of her. She's great but this dvd isn't perfect but not because of her but for some failures from the director and the camera angles, she could look quite good with a better team behind her. Still, if you're a fan of this lady, get this dvd, you won't be disappointed (and you'll have a interesting surprise at the end ^_^). Greetings.

Yasashiku TsutsumareteHitomi AizawaExcellent as always.
Since it's becoming usual, this new DVD of the lovely and sexy Hitomi Aizawa brings us an almost perfect work. Though it isn't as perfect as the "Seishun Dynamic" DVD, it still has a great performance of this lady, full of great chapters with Hitomi posing as she were trying to kill us with her awesome combination of body and face (her smile is the best by far ^_^). Of course, I'm a fan of Hitomi-chan, and for the same, I'm very glad to see that she's doing great releases by improving her skills everytime for better. And it doesn't matter if you're a fan of this lady or not, if you like hot and beautiful women, you shouldn't pass this DVD (and the previous). Greetings.

Humanizerm.o.v.eAn excellent album as always.
After a couple of years waiting for a brand new album from m.o.v.e, we finally have this "Humanizer" release. What to say about it? Simple, this is a great album for many reasons. -It has a good balance between all the songs. -The electronic style of the album shows the maturity of the band. -The lyrics are sticky and good to hear over and over again. To resume, if you (like me) are a fan of this japanese band you shouldn't miss this album, a great proof of all the talent that this group have. Greetings.

Mami Kawada Live Tour 2008 "Savia" Live & Life Vol.2Mami KawadaAn incredible live performance of Mami
I got this dvd about three days ago and after approximately four times seeing it I'd like to say that... ...if you're a fan of this lady... you got to get your own copy! because it's an incredible performance with some details that make it indispensable for any fan. -First, this one is a concert rocker so, do not wait very much for trance in the songs because the main sound are the guitars (to tell you the truth, to have the chance to watch TRILL in a rock style is an awesome change). -Second, her voice... her voice... her voice is perfect, she is never out of tune in the whole concert, always smiling and dominating the whole stage. You know, I'm very proud of this lady because she improved notably her skills as a singer and artist. And I cannot stop mentioning how beautiful that she is, without words. -Third, the environment during the whole concert is brilliant, it's true that it was carried out in a rather small place but that wasn't something bad because since the beginnig to the end, the concert is full of charm and magic moments. I repeat, if you are a fan of Mami... get this dvd or you'll regret it someday. Greetings.

Real Onigokko [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]KOTOKOOne of the best single from KOTO-chan
Well, this single from KOTOKO is one of the best for me because it has "Real Oni Gokko" that is a great song, dark and strong at the same time with the excellent voice of KOTOKO is with no doubt a masterpiece, I cannot forget to mention that it was written by MELL. The B-side "siren" is excellent too, it's a little slow compared with the main theme but still great. Both instrumental version are great too and the PV is very nice, mostly because the way KOTOKO looks, she is just impressive with this style in particular. If you are a fan of KOTOKO you shouldn't miss this single, a cool adition to your music librery. Greetings.

Mellscope [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]MELLA great album from an excellent singer
Well, this is the first album from MELL and is true that it's based on her previous 2 singles and some older songs too. But, letting that aside, I can say that MELLSCOPE is an excellent album, just to hear the intense an beautiful voice of MELL is great because she is unique in her style and she has a lot of singer skills with no doubt. It has great songs like "SCOPE", "Red Fraction", "kicks!", "no vain", "the first finale in me" and many more. Plus, the DVD has the promotional video "SCOPE" and alternative versions for no "vain" and "kicks!" and a short video with MELL visiting France to work on a new version of "repeat", this is a very interesting part because you have the chance to see her as she is, beautiful and tender. The Package is full of quality, awesome I should say. And with the usual excellent and kind treatment to the costumer from CDJapan during all the process, simply remarkable. If you like MELL as a solo singer or as a part of I've, you shouldn't miss this album, a great adition to any fan. Greetings.

Kill [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]MELLNot the best, still a good one.
This single KILL is not the best single from MELL but still is worthy of your money. The main song "KILL" is very powerful and intense at the same time (like MELL), and is the type of song you want to hear one time after another. Very sticky. The B-side song "on my own" is an excellent ballad, the melody is beautiful and the MELL's voice fits it. Both instrumental versions are a good choice to hear because they sound very different without the voice of the singer. The only flaw is the PV, sadly, is based on a movie and the scenes in the middle screw it, but MELL looks good and that's enough for watching the PV. Well, as I said, not the best single but any fan of MELL is gonna love it for sure. Greetings.
