YUI - How crazy
INFO: a young artist who made her debut with the single “feel my soul” in February 2005. she does a slower pop style, mostly influenced with acoustic guitars. before getting a record deal, she carried her guitar around and performed a lot locally. she released her debut album in February 2006.
THOUGHTS: second YUI album is out! ^_^ this is the great, fast paced opening track to lead into the rest of the album.

Namie Amuro - FUNKY TOWN
INFO: one of the biggest names in Jpop history, Namie started out in a group called THE SUPER MONKEYS but then left to do a solo career. however, she left the music scene for a while when she had her kid and her popularity kind of dropped. now she's still a famous singer but now focuses more on a R&B or J-urban style. she was also in the J-urban collaboration SUITE CHIC.
THOUGHTS: yay new Namie single~ its ok, sounds like it belongs as an album filler than a single though :/ still good for an R&B listen.
Download Link
Otsuka Ai - LOVE MUSiC
INFO: an artist from Osaka and is gaining more and more popularity. her first two singles propelled her into the Jpop scene in 2003, earning her the "Best New Artist" award in the Japan Record Awards. she writes a lot of her music and plays the piano for her songs. so far she has released three albums and a best album.
THOUGTHS: the new track on her best album. although its a slower song, its not as pretty as some of her other ballads like "Kingyo Hanabi" or "Daisuki da yo".
Download Link
SE7EN - Aitai 会いたい
INFO: a very popular Korean singer (Korean name, Choi Dong Wook) who is now releasing singles in Japan. he first released "Hikari" with the help of Dai of Do As Infinity in 2005. in early 2006 he released his first Japanese album.
THOUGHTS: well its been a while since his last single. O_o this is a slow jam that's pretty good and the video is kinda cute as well ^_^
Download Link
Shibasaki Kou - Hito Koi Meguri ひと恋めぐり
INFO: a singer actress whose real name is Yamamura Yukie. she got her break playing a role in the famous movie "Battle Royale" and has since then been in various other dramas and movies. it wasn't until 2002 when she tried out singing, her first attempt not really going anywhere. after another try in 2003, she has been very successful.
THOUGHTS: might not be for everybody, but her new single is a nice orchestrated ballad. sweet video as well. ^_^

mihimaru GT - Punkish☆ パンキッシュ☆
INFO: a guy/girl duo consisting of Akutsu Hiroko and Mitsuyuki Miyake. both sing, rap, and write lyrics for their songs, creating an interesting fusion of rap and pop. they debuted in 2003 with the single "Yakusoku" and released their first album "mihimarhythm" in 2004.
THOUGHTS: wow, I'm actually impressed at their new song. kinda brings back the older times when they first came out XD

m-flo loves Koda Kumi - Simple & Lovely
requested; INFO: m-flo used to be made up of DJ Taku, rapper VERBAL, and singer LISA. they all met in an international school in Japan. LISA is half Colombian and Japanese while VERBAL is Korean. they released two albums until 2002 when LISA went to do her solo career. afterwards, m-flo featured artists to do the singing part. recently they have announced that there will be no more 'loves' collabs and their future projects are currently unknown.
THOUGHTS: whee here's the collab with Ku~ nice and light, though it really could do without the baby voice O_o the song'll be better off without it.
Download Link
HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - STYLE ~get glory in this hand~
requested; INFO: a band from Okinawa with Maki as the lead singer, Yuusuke as the rapper and backup singer, Kazuto and MEG on guitar, mACKAz on Bass, and SASSY on drums. they debuted in January 2005 with the song "PRIDE", which was a theme song for the anime Gundam Seed and became a hit. since then they have released an album "G∞VER" in September 2005.
THOUGHTS: haha I'm gonna see them in concert in May XD anywho, an older song by them. beginning sounds like an old Gackt song O_o good punk song, not over the top and Yuusuke is subdued. ^^
Download Link
Mika Nakashima - I LOVE YOU
requested; INFO: a popular singer in Japan as well as throughout Asia. she usually releases slower music like ballads and sometimes jazz. winner of Best New Artist in 2001, her first few singles sold hundreds of thousands, some selling out the first day. she sang a theme for the popular anime series Gundam Seed. she also acts in the new NANA productions, starring in the lead role.
THOUGHTS: her cover on a very well known song. original singer's name escapes me right now... oh well. nice b-side and addition to her new album.
