KissL'Arc-en-CielMust Have This!
This is quintessential L'Aec-en-Ciel. Great music, stylish vocals; this has it all. Seventh Heaven and Heaven's Call are two of the best tracks on the CD. If you are a fan, this is a must-have!

BLEACH (A) [Calendar 2008 (Try-X Ltd.)]AnimationGorgeous!
Absolutely goregous artwork by Tite Kubo. If you are a fan of Bleach, or just beautiful artwork, this calendar is for you!

Porno Graffitti [Regular Edition]Porno GraffittiGood CD
This CD is a little on the bland side for Porno Graffitti, with nothing that I consider a stand-out hit like Melissa was. But this is still a good, all-around album that is worth listening to. If you're a fan of Porno Graffitti, you won't want to pass it up.

TimelessUVERworldDo Not Miss This Album!
Whatever you do, do not miss this album. D-technolife, the second opening theme from Bleach is on this CD, and it alone is worth the price of admission. Throw in CHANCE!, Ai Ta, and Nitro, and you have a great debut album. Probably one of the best albums I've bought this year.

OVA Saiyuki RELOAD -burial- Vol.1 - Sanzo Hoshi no Sho - Standard EditionAnimationGreat OVA
Great addition to the Saiyuki canon, giving us the beginning of the Burial backstory arc. In this volume is not only the opening between Koumyou and Ukoku Sanzos, but an interesting peak into the "secret" history of everyone's favorite corrupt monk, Genjyo Sanzo. Also has the opening animation and theme "Late Show", by GARDEN, and the ending theme "shiny moon" by Sanzo, Goku, and Gojyo (Seki Toshihiko, Hoshi Soichiro, and Hirata Hiroaki, respctively). If you are a Saiyuki fan you must have this!

Saiyuki Reload (Original) Calendar 2007 (Try-X Ltd.)AnimationBeautiful!
Gorgeous artwork from Minekura Kazuya as always. Has six images, plus the cover. The only reason this did not get a full 5 is becuase I have seen all but two of the images before in the artbooks. I certainly don't mind seeing them again, but I had been hoping for new art.

Saiyuki Reload Vocal Album Vol.2AnimationSaiyuki Rocks!
If you like the voice actors that voice the fabulous foursome, you will love this CD. There is one song each by the VA for Sanzo, Goku, and Gojyo, along with one by the VA for Kougaiji. There are also one song done as a trio by Goku, Gojyo, and Sanzo. Not to mention two drama tracks, where Hakkai also gets into the act. This is perfect for any Saiyuki fan!

Saiyuki Reload Gunlock Vocal Album Vol.1AnimationBest Yet!
This CD is probably the best yet of the Saiyuki vocal albums. The seiyuu's put their heart and soul into these tracks, which include a duet between Kougaiji and Goku, a solo by Kami-sama (and that seiyuu has a truly marvelous voice), another duet between Gojyo and Goku, a solo by Sanzo, and a song sung by Gojyo, Sanzo, and Goku. There are also, as always, two drama tracks that have all four of the seiyuu of the main cast involved. Don't pass this one up!

JOKER [CD+DVD]Janne Da ArcGreat!
Really great CD. Reminiscent of L'Arc~en~Ciel's Smile album. Even though its their sixth album, its a great way to start out listening to the group. Definitely recommended.

Audio Drama "SAIYUKI" WISH Kinkaku Ginkaku HenDrama CD (Toshihiko Seki, Soichiro Hoshi, Hiroaki Hirata, Akira Ishida, et al.)Fantastic!
If you are any fan of Saiyuki, you have to get this drama CD. It has the voices of the cast from the anime, and even if you don't speak Japanese, its not difficult to follow along with the action if you've read the manga. Great acting, and it feels like you are right there with the guys.

open ddoaGreat Debut Album!
Great debut album. Has a slightly acoustic/grunge feel to it that is as refreshing as it great to listen to. Definitely worth the money for the CD.

We Love DiGiMONMUSiC SPECiAL Yuuki wo Uketsugu Kodomo Tachi e - Odaiba Memorial 8/1 Keikaku [Initial pressing only limited release]AnimationSad but Good
This release features one new song, sung by old favorites Aim, Koji Wada, Michihiko Oota, Ayumi Hamasaki, Wild Child Bound, and Hassy. These artists did some of the more memorable themes over the years. Its kind of a bittersweet song, as this is about all of the children who inherited Courage, from season 1 of Adventure up through Digimon Frontier. You kind of get the impression that Digimon is truly over now. The rest of the tracks on this CD are almost all BGM, most of which are from Adventure 02. Good CD, kind of a trip down memory lane for Digimon Adventure fans.

Digimon Frontier - Best hit paradeAnimation SoundtrackDigimon Music Continues to Rock!

REAL TIMEHidenori TokuyamaSaiyuki Themes!
This CD has both of the Gensomaden Saiyuki themes - "For Real" and "Still Time". Both songs are great singles, and the rest of the CD is much in the same vein. Must have for anyone who loves Saiyuki or Tokuyama's work.

Romantist EgoistPorno GraffittiGreat Debut!
This is a really great debut album by the group that later gives us "Melissa", one of the best themes from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist. If you like "Melissa", you'll love this!
