From the queen of theme/tie-in songs! :D I think I cried on the third listen. It's so emotionally raw with a persisting piano accompaniment, and the way the song builds up into the climax is just amazing. While is feels personal, it also just seems like it's about something bigger. It's a beautiful piece in that uniquely Utada Hikaru kind of ( Read more... )

AI's first single with new label, EMI~ it features the happy Christmas themed Happiness, and a collaborations with The Jacksons, Letter In The Sky, a tribute to Michael Jackson. Great single with a distinct AI-R&B vibe. The cover caught my attention and I think it looks great. :D This is a subtle, warm, winter-ish single, perfect for December ( Read more... )

Here are Namie Amuro and BoA's new singles out today. I have to say Namie's single kinda kicks butt. Four great tracks? Yes please! (Though Sit! Stay! Wait! Down! makes me LOL a bit) The tracks are typical Namie songs, but I think individually they're all enjoyable songs (and I super appreciate that the instrumentals themselves make great tracks ( Read more... )

As I always say, GReeeeN is epic and awesome and love by default. I adore this single again. <3 The title A-side kinda feels like their breakthrough song, Ai Uta. <333 It's the theme song for "Antoki no Inochi" and the music video stars Okada Masaki. The B-side is for the "Akai Kitsune & Midori no Tanuki" (instant noodles) CM with Takeda Tetsuya ( ( Read more... )

EXILE's latest single is a tenth anniversary and charity single in support of the March disaster. Rising Sun is indeed a positive "ganbare" song, but it's got a really catchy melody, and a light and persistent beat. I'm feeling it and loving it. <3 Itsuka Kitto... is an ATSUSHI ballad solo, with piano and light strings. The ballad carries a nice ( Read more... )

Requested by melceratops - his most recent studio album and single! I'm glad you requested this because I ended up really liking some of these songs. <3 His voice is so "angelic" and soothing together with his R&B and soul flavoured music.
