Working with Woman.excite, Yuna Ito released her first ～ Ito Yuna Respects ～ cover for digital download on July 28. She covers the ♥90's♥ hit, Aerosmith's I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, and watching the PV (which is gorgeous - a studio type with all the musicians etc...) gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Yuna does a phenomenal job and ( Read more... )

I think I love Hanasanaide yo the more I listen to it and I really hope it becomes a digital hit (the instrumental track is so gorgeous *_*). Missing You is is more of an R&B ballad while of course, Hanasanaide yo is your mid-tempo R&B track with a "glittering" (XP) instrumental backing and some hip-hop influence from SoulJa's rap. THIS SINGLE IS ( Read more... )

This was shared by souphater and I quote parts of the message: [Today I found this beautiful song which will be released as a single next month. The singer is called Ryuta Ushijima and is 15 years old. I think this will be his first single release. The song is ripped from the PV (avex-channel on youtube).

Without meaning to, we accidentally ended up posting our 2009 rankings on the exact same days that we both did 365 days ago! Scary! XD Again, my time range is December 2008 to November 2009. All tracks are at 320kbps. The first five were hard to rank. The last 15 literally danced around like in musical chairs. But this is my final decision and I'm ( Read more... )

This is going to be hella long (not helped by the track list already being long itself), so most of my ramblings will be kicked under an LJ-cut. I think most can appreciate that reaching a tenth anniversary is always something admirable and worth celebrating. There have been a lot of tenth anniversaries this year and last, but Japan has certainly ( Read more... )

It's that time of the year again when Popsicalove's Stacey and Ria rank their Top Songs of the year! This has become a Popsicalove tradition since it started in 2007. ^^ I just don't know where Stacey's 2007 Ranking is. Maybe she posted it in her private journal. Oh that girl... haha!!! I feel like apologizing for this long entry! It turned out to ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! Are you all ready for Christmas day? :) This time it's an old clip of Hamasaki Ayumi and Gackt singing Silent Night (my fav Christmas carol!). You get to see one street intersection where it was aired live on a huge screen, and it was cute seeing all the pedestrians stopping to watch it. :P Ayu sounded so lovely here ( Read more... )
