Kuchibiru kara Romantica / That's Right [CD+DVD / Type B]AAAGenre-breaking, but awesome!
I bought this for my brother for Christmas, but I've really enjoyed this CD so far as well! The first track is fun in a swing-style sort of way. "That's Right" is the perfect rock-out song; "Let it Beat" sounds like something from DDR! WARNING: THIS CD COMES WITH A DVD OF "THAT'S RIGHT". DON'T BE SILLY LIKE ME AND FORGET THAT IT'S REGION-ENCODED . . . We cannot watch the video, which is very sad. Overall, though, the CD is a great buy. VEry fun to listen to!

Rainbows [Limited Edition / Type A]alice nine.alice nine. forever!
Since Phantasmagoria disbanded some time ago, I have taken it upon myself to find a new favorite Visual band . . . and alice nine. is that band. "RAINBOWS" is one of my favorite songs right now. It has this unmistakeable edgy-punk feel that makes you strum your air guitar with Tora and Hiroto. "Strawberry Fuzz" is very sweet, with a quirky luao break in the middle of the song. The photo booklet has been drooled over at least fourteen-million times and will be drooled over continually in the future. alice nine. is (in my opinion) the best Visual band out there! Please support them!

Brand New DayYum!Yum!ORANGECute!
I only gave this CD a three-star review because Ska isn't really my favorite musical genre. However, this CD is very fun on a rainy day. All the songs are very sweet and upbeat; very relaxing to listen to. If you a a big fan of Ska, I would go with this one. WARNING: I ONCE AGAIN FORGOT THAT THIS WAS REGION-ENCODED . . . The video doesn't even show up on a DVD player or in a computer . . . It's like technology doesn't know it exists. Be very wary of that if you want to see the video.

Sakura re Capsule [Regular Edition]Shonen KamikazeVery eclectic . . .
I really like the song "Sakura re Capsule"; actually, my brother and I are listening to the instrumental right now as I write this. The other two tracks . . . they're okay. I personally am not the biggest fan of them, but I do like the perky background music. My brother likes Ska a lot and says that he loves the CD. He's a smart dude, so . . . listen to him and buy!

look for "Mr. Name"junMere words cannot describe . . .
"name is 'KUJIRA'" and "power source" are without a doubt two of the best songs I have ever heard in my life. Upbeat, catchy, and quirky,this pair is an incredible one. Jun's otherworldly guitar playing and unique voice has captured the interest of many a Japanese music addict-- including myself, of course! Jun has made quite a name for himself in my JRock menagerie, and should be in yours as well.

Purple Line [Jacket B]Dong Bang Shin Ki (Tohoshinki)Dancy is right!
"New single release from Dong Bang Shin Ki (Tohoshinki) in advance of the group's upcoming full-length album features a dancy new track that will have you feeling the beat." Truer words were never spoken! I have to get my groove on whenever I listen to this album, especially to "Purple Line" and "DEAD END"! This is a catchy, modern album that won't disappoint!

UreiKagrraBittersweet
Being a veteran fan of Kagrra, I almost knew what to expect when I purchased this album . . . almost. I was pleasantly surprised by the slightly techno-sounding "Koi", and I broke into a million pieces when I heard the heartbreaking melodies in "Hana". Overall, this is another stunning Kagrra, album.

Requiem- Floral EditionPhantasmagoriaNE PLUS ULTRA!
I got hooked on Phantasmagoria by seeing them in a magazine. I saw just one of their videos and I fell in love with them and their amazing sound!! I bought this CD for only two of the tracks on it (Eternal Silence and . . .Lost in Thought), but I quickly learned that the whole CD is mesmerizing! "Nil Frontier", "Glitter" and "at the ends of the rest period" are great songs as well as the other two I mentioned; the rest are astounding as well but those five really stick out! Riku has a great voice, and the guitarwork is OTHERWORLDLY!! Jun is the best guitarist this side of the Milky Way, and if nothing else, you should buy this CD just to hear him play!!

San [Limited Edition]Kagrra,ne plus ultra!!!
When I first started listening to this album, I must admit that I was disappointed. However, as I listened to the songs more, I began falling in love with it! Isshi's voice sounds better than ever, and the band is absolutely phenominal (but that comes as no surprize, really). Meguru is probably my favorite track; the blending of music and vocals is superb. "San" is a must-have for all Kagrra, fans, and if you've never heard any JRock before, this is an excellent place to start!

OmouKagrra,OMG TOTALLY AMAZING!!
How I wish that I could give this album more than five stars. This was my very first Kagrra, album and I'm very pleased to report that it made a wonderful first impression. Omou is such a beautifully mornful song. Track two (Metsu) is one of my favorite Kagrra, songs so far! Track three (So) took some getting used to, but it's great as well. Omou sounds so weird without Isshi...! His voice is superb, by the way. I have another Kagrra, CD but I think this is the best that Isshi's ever sang. Such a wonderful CD... *cries with joy*

San [Regular Edition]Kagrra,Absolutely Amazing!!
This is yet another fantastic Kagrra, album. The first few tracks take some time to get used to, but the rest is smooth sailing (especially Satsuki...!!) Isshi's voice is perfectly lovely... as usual. Akiya also does a fantastic job on guitar, and Nao... well, Nao's always perfect! This CD has especially nice rhythems and melodies, too. Over all, this is a really awesome CD! If you have any doubts about purchasing it, DISPEL THEM!
