01. Chihiro Onitsuka: Umi no Uta
length: 4 minutes 57 seconds
genre: japanese ballad
album: none (unreleased)
rating: 100/10
comments: chihiro onitsuka is back on the music scene? ...well, not EXACTLY, but she gave us this little taste of hope with a new song her and a group called Psalm performed together. it was posted on the band's blog page. this song is beyond gorgeous. i really think if Oni-san ever does officially come back, her music will blow her past melodies out of the water. "Umi no Uta" is an instrumental piece, but Oni-san is still a part of it, for she hums a melody along with the music. it's soooo breathtaking. i mean... it always makes me wanna tear up. very beautiful music, as always from Oni-san. <3 and i'm glad to get to share this with everyone. :3

+++ 02. Lee Soo Young: Farewell Blues II
length: 4 minutes 27 seconds
genre: korean ballad
album: Sweet Holiday In Lombok
rating: 10/10
comments: Lee Soo Young has released tons and tons of excellent songs in her long career. but "Farewell Blues II" has always been my favorite. :) i mean, honestly, i wasnt expecting too much out of this song considering "Farewell Blues" was PRETTY, but nothing special. but this sequel to the original is so freaking amazing. *__* it starts off with the same melody as "Farewell Blues" does, but as it goes on, it starts changing little by little. and once the chorus hits, it makes my heart skip a beat everytime. *laugh* seriously. it's extremely emotional and heartfelt. <3 really a wonderful song by a very talented singer.

+++ 03. Tommy Heavenly6: Heavy Starry Chain
length: 3 minutes 53 seconds
genre: japanese rock
single: Heavy Starry Chain
rating: 9/10
comments: i'm going to start off right away - the reason i didnt give this song a perfect 10 is because it sounds too similar to ALL her other songs. x_x i'm not saying it's bad, but... GAH TOMMY! write something original. >_> ........and with that being said, "Heavy Starry Chain" is a really good song. it's really dark. i've always loved Heavenly6's unique blend of dark rock melodies with cute lyrics & vocals. oiy, and i love the bridge on this song. XDD it goes a step deeper and gets even heavier on the rock as well as the lyrics. <3 vewy cool. Tommy definitely has something... i'm just ready for her to go back to Buriguri already. T_T

+++ 04. AAA: Crazy Gonna Crazy
length: 5 minutes 21 seconds
genre: japanese pop
album: CCC -Challenge Cover Collection-
rating: 10/10
comments: yaaaay~ ! AAA's new dance cover album is finally here! and i must say, it's even better than i expected. i'm not extremely into dance music, but all the songs on this album kicked ass, and AAA did BETTER than perfect covers. but... i knew they'd do good. ^^ they're such a talented group. "Crazy Gonna Crazy" is my favorite song on the album right now. it's originally written and performed by TRF, but i love AAA's version a looot better. this song is a cool mix of techno, pop, rock, and everything else you can think of. and it still manages to sound excellent. it's both catchy & beautiful at the same time. gah.... i love this song to death. <3

+++ 05. YUI: CHE.R.RY (preview)
length: 1 minutes 41 seconds
genre: japanese soft rock
single: CHE.R.RY
rating: 10/10
comments: weee! YUI's new single!!!!! i'm sure everyone's just as excited about this as i am, so let's all jump with joy! *jumps* as obsessed as i am over "Rolling Star", i must say that i'm already liking "CHE.R.RY" more. i might even like this song more than "I Remember You"..... it's so catchy and carefree. the melody is definitely fitting for the season to come, and YUI's voice has never sounded more beautiful. you can tell she's grown as a composer, because her songs are just getting better & better. she's never failed to amaze me. this was ripped off the "YUI RADIO" on her official site. ...i think they said they'd be posting the entire song on there soon... O.O
