Face [w/ DVD, Special Edition]Kazuki Katoexcellent
I was pleased by the quality of the album. There's a range of styles and, what is more, they're all well performed. Kazuki's best effort so far.

C x D x G no Arashi! Vol.1Variety (Arashi)For Dream!
This DVD features what I like to call Arashi Mythbusters. Watching Aiba perform various household experiments makes for 125 minutes of high entertainment.

The Ultimate Hard Worker (Prince of Tennis Character CD)
Keigo Atobe (Junichi Suwabe)The Ultimate Hard Worker (Prince of Tennis Character CD)Keigo Atobe (Junichi Suwabe)a little disappointingThe quality of the singing just wasn't here on this album. Most of the songs had a screamed feel to them. I was a little disappointed that I purchased it, though one or two songs were okay.

Kamen Rider Hibiki Theme Song: Shonen yoAkira FuseSentai Love
If you enjoyed the show, you're going to enjoy this CD. If you've never seen the show, it might take a few to get into the song's classical style but, once you've heard it, the song's bound to get stuck in your head. Wonderful.

Rough DiamondKazuki KatoRough Start
An average album. I would say that about half the tracks seemed to stretch Kazuki's range, perhaps due to stylistic reasons, while the other half highlighted his lilting style. A good album, yes, but not the best.

Musical Tennis no Ohjisama (The Prince of Tennis) Best Actor's Series 003 - Hiroki Aiba as Shusuke FujiShusuke Fuji (Hiroki Aiba) (Prince of Tennis Musical CD)Surprisingly Good
Though not the world's strongest, vocally, Aiba really pulls through in this album, singing clearly and with depth. His rendition of "Hand in Hand" was my favorite on the album. It brought a richness with it that I really enjoyed.

MusicalMusical Tennis no Ohjisama (The Prince of Tennis) Complete Box [Limited Release]MusicalGreat if You're Starting OutThis is a great set to buy if you don't already own any of the myu CDs. If you've already got everything, though, all you're really going to be getting is the Hyoutei winter soundtrack and a bonus disc with the DL3 graduation speeches.

Charm Point wa Nakibokuro (Prince of Tennis Character CD) [Pre-order only limited release]
Keigo Atobe (Junichi Suwabe)Charm Point wa Nakibokuro (Prince of Tennis Character CD) [Pre-order only limited release]Keigo Atobe (Junichi Suwabe)Cracktastically WonderfulFor being a song about Atobe's mole, the song is really really catchy. The highlight is the dialogue between the Hyoutei regulars and not particularly the lyrical content. Buy it for the fun.

Tennis no Ohjisama (The Prince of Tennis): DVD FAN DISC The Best and The Brightest RemixAnimationVery Entertaining
Highlighting some of the best matches of the show, this disc is a great addition to any Tenipuri collection. The extra features: cast commentary on a chibi episode, a chibi music video to "Omoette Samba" and much more.

Beyond the phenomenal opening to what is to be a grueling nationals tournament, Mizuki and Yuuta's commentary reel is hilarious.

LOVE BITES [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]KimeruB Side Glory
Buy this one for the B Side track. "Dream Lover" is one of Kime's best, catchy and upbeat, but still with a hint of artistry.
-
gloriousKimeruVariety
The best feature of this album is the diversity in the tracks. There are more poppy songs as well as a few ballads. As a whole, the album highlights Kimeru's artistic range nicely.

Kiichi no Hayakuchi Kotoba (Prince of Tennis Character CD) [Limited Release]Kiichi Kuki (Eiji Takemoto)Funny
The track is mostly Kiichi trying to say "Kakinoki no Kuuki Kiichi" successfully. It's funny the first time, but not particularly a repeat-player.

Men's DVD Series - Yu Shirota with UYu ShirotaAwkward
This one was awkward, even for an Idol DVD. It looked like Shirotan was sucking it in and a little uncomfortable throughout the video.

I think I was prepared for everything but the Blackface. Kenn seems a little to cute/dorky to be rolling in the sand.

Men's DVD Series: Kazuki Kato "55mm"Kazuki KatoSurprisingly Tasteful
This is not your average idol DVD. While it has it's obligatory shirtlessness and shower, the majority of the DVD consists of a clothed, dorky Kazuki, riding elephants, kick boxing, and running around Thailand.

Naino?bianco neroFuntastic
The opening theme to the drama/comedy "Rocket Boys," this single is strong and catchy, reminding me of an early Pillows album.
