Utada Hikaru - HEART STATION
INFO: known as Hikki to her fans, Utada Hikaru was born in New York and even attended Columbia University before getting married (yet as of early 2007 she has been divorced). she adds a lot of R&B into her music and released a CD in the US before becoming immensely popular in Japan, going under the name of Cubic U. she also released another US CD under the name Utada in 2004.
THOUGHTS: beautiful new song by Hikki~ ^__^ yay. still got the kinda dreamy feeling in there from the last album and that's not a bad thing. who's excited about her new album coming out in March!?
Download Link Yuna Ito - alone again
INFO: a half Japanese and Korean solo singer that made her major debut in both acting and singing in the movie "NANA", playing Serizawa Reira. that role landed her a chart topping hit as well as a few awards. she was born in Hawaii and moved to Japan after high school. in December 2006, she continued her role as Reira in the second NANA movie.
THOUGHTS: this song is sooooo preeetttty~ off her sophomore album, I just keep it on repeat just cause I love it so much. ^_^ she should have released this song as a single instead of that 'Urban Mermaid' song. >_>
Download Link m-flo loves Emi Hinouchi & Ryohei & Emyli & YOSHIKA & LISA - love comes and goes
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: they lied! THIS song will be the last of the 'loves' collabs! and its pretty cool too, though sucks that YOSHIKA and Ryohei got stuck with only like...2 verses. >_>
Download Link ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - Korogaru Iwa, Kimi ni Asa ga Furu 転がる岩、君に朝が降る
INFO: a Jrock band that first formed in 1996 by a music club in high school. the four member band consists of Goto Masafumi, Kita Kensuke, Yamada Takahiro, and Ijichi Kiyoshi. before signing with Sony, they did a lot of independent releases before they officially debuted in 2003.
THOUGHTS: yay more Ajikan~ they still keep on churning out the great rock music. glad they're so stable and consistent, so if you liked their other songs, you'll like this song too.
Download Link LISA - crave
INFO: half Colombian and half Japanese Elizabeth Sakura Narita, or as she's better known as LISA, was the lead singer in the group m-flo. however after 5 albums she left in 2002 to pursue her own solo career. she also writes and producers other artists under the Rhythm Zone label.
THOUGHTS: well, she certainly started off on a different direction. instead of R&B, she turned to disco-y tracks as per her new mini-album title 'ready to disco'. the song's title is this week's password.
Download Link BENNIE K - MONOCHROME
INFO: a J-urban duo with YUKI doing most of the vocals and CICO who does the rapping. they've been around for awhile, since 2001 with the single "Melody", but haven't been that popular until recently with their single, "Sunrise". so far they released five albums and two mini albums.
THOUGHTS: after a rather disappointing album, they're back strong with a song that reminds me of 'Sky'. and that's why I like it XD
Download Link Hirai Ken - Kimi wa Suteki 君はス.テ.キ♥
INFO: a popular solo R&B singer, he's known for his falsetto voice. he's also known for not looking Japanese, even though he is. he started releasing music in 1995 with the single, "Precious Junk". in 2005 he released “UTABAKA”, a best album to celebrate his 10th anniversary in the music industry.
THOUGHTS: haha I mainly uploaded this song cause its so amusing for Ken to try... a more uh...different song. its like he's back to his 'on crack' mode XD keke.
Download Link twenty4-7 - Show time!
INFO: a new urban duo that were just signed under Avex. MIKA provides the rap and ME provides the vocals. they released a mini album before officially debuting with the single "Fly Out" in 2007.
THOUGHTS: their first full length album just came out and its pretty good! glad there's more R&B duos out there ^__^ this opening track shows off their interesting vocals.
Download Link FLOW - Tabibito 旅人
INFO: a Jrock band with five members: brothers Take and Koshi, Keigo, Got's, and Iwasaki. the two brothers started the band back in 1998 and members were added until 2000. they are most known for their 2003 single "Burasuta" (blaster) and singing theme songs for the popular anime Naruto.
THOUGHTS: the a-side to their new single was too slow for me, so upped this song instead XD still kinda slow, but it picks up during the chorus.
Download Link May J. - why why why...
requested; INFO: a young new J-urban artist who in July 2006 released a debut mini-album, “ALL MY GIRLS”, which was produced by Tiny Voice & Nao’ymt. she has also worked with other J-urban artists in the collaboration "I SAY YEAH!" and on her debut single.
THOUGHTS: so yea, was chilling to this song as I typed the last entry and somebody wanted it so here ya go. ^_^ and remember, this will probably be the last request!!!
