Title: Alright [Mirror]
Artist: Sweetbox
Album: Jade
Language: English
File Size: 5.50 MB
Type: Pop/R&B
Rating: A+
Comments: My iPod likes to jump to this song a lot for some reason but I'm kind of glad that it does. This song really suits Jade's style of music. It's pop~ish with maybe just a slight of R&B to give it some groove. This song is great if nothing seems to be going alright in your life. I still don't get the opera singer that pops up in the middle though for a few seconds.

Title: Falling [Mirror]
Artist: Sweetbox
Album: Jade
Language: English
File Size: 7.57 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A+
Comments: If you're more into Sweetbox's more pop style songs, then this one is just perfect. It's a fairly fast paced song but you can really get a falling of whirling and twirling from listening to it. I really can't describe it so you'll just have to listen to it to find out. RECOMMENDED.

Title: Bing Xiang (Refrigerator) [Mirror]
Artist: S.H.E.
Album: Nu Sheng Shu She
Language: Chinese (Mandarin)
File Size: 4.09 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: B+
Comments: I don't get the title of the song either, it seems rather odd for a song title. S.H.E. does a lot of ballad type songs, most of which are great. This one is kind of on the boring side, typical for a slow ballad though.

Title: Because I'm A Girl [Mirror]
Artist: Jini of KISS
Language: English
File Size: 3.96 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: A
Comments: Because I'm A Girl is a really gorgeous ballad by the K-group KISS. It's incredibly sad though but very moving. Lyrics wise, I think that the Korean lyrics are better by far just because they have more meaning. The English version is only sung by Jini and she doesn't really have the best English either but it's not as bad as some *cough*BoA*cough cough*.

Title: I Believe [Mirror]
Artist: Nicholas Tse
Language: Chinese (Cantonese)
File Size: 3.82 MB
Type: Ballad
Rating: A
Comments: Nicholas Tse has a voice that kind of reminds me of a combination between Vic Zhou and Wang Lee Hom. He's also an actor, having had roles in quite a few movies. Course nowadays in China if you act, you sing. This isn't so much completely a ballad. There are also some pop elements in it. Basically if you're into Vic Zhou or Wang Lee Hom, you should give this a try as well.

Title: Think of Me [Mirror]
Artist: Sarah Brightman
Language: English
File Size: 2.89 MB
Type: Ballad/Opera
Rating: A+
Comments: If you've seen The Phantom of the Opera then you'll obviously recognize this song. Think of Me is one of my favorite songs from the movie and I don't listen to opera at all so I think it's saying something. It's such a romantic and moving ballad and the orchestra in the background adds such a nice musical touch.

Title: Eazy Breezy [Mirror]
Artist: UTADA
Album: Exodus
Language: English
File Size: 3.70 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A-
Comments: I'm sure most people who are into Utada Hikaru have heard this song. I still remember when it first came out, the phrase "You're easy breezy and I'm Japanesey" kind made most people go "wha...?" Eazy Breezy is one of my favorite songs from the album. She really shifted into a different style of music for her English album but nevertheless, it was a rather nice change in some aspects.

Title: Kiko [Mirror]
Artist: 12 Girls Band
Album: Shining Energy
Language: N/A
File Size: 9.38 MB
Type: Instrumental
Rating: A+
Comments: 12 Girls Band is a group of 12 Taiwanese girls who use traditional Chinese instruments to play their songs, giving it a unique yet elegant touch. If you've never heard traditional Chinese instruments before, you're really missing out. Kiko is one of my favorite 12 Girls songs. It's quite upbeat, kind of festival~ish.

Title: Dub-i-Dub [Mirror]
Artist: Yuki Hsu
Album: Compilation
Language: Chinese (Mandarin)
File Size: 3.72 MB
Type: Pop
Rating: A
Comments: Yuki Hsu has that really bouncy pop style going on. Dub-i-Dub is a very upbeat song with a bit of a techno~ish bounce in the background. The chorus is addicting though.

Title: Hana Kagari [Mirror]
Artist: Yumi Shizukusa
Album: Hana Kagari
Language: Japanese
File Size: 4.44 MB
Type: Pop/Rock
Rating: A
Comments: I actually thought this song was just going to be another one of those ballads when I first heard it but I was wrong, it's anything but a ballad. Hana Kagari starts up a bit slow but picks up before you know it and enters into quite a dramatic chorus. Yumi Shizukusa has a rather nice voice as well. It's not too deep but enough to suit the song. RECOMMENDED.

POLL: I realize that I forgot a poll last time, hehe. For this time, what country do you live in? I'm located in the US :)
