My Intuition (CD+VCD) (2nd Version)
January 1, 2006 sweet & catchy tunesRainie Yang definitely has a very sweet and pleasant voice but this kind of talent isn't very rare for Taiwanese singers nowadays. If you're looking for new strong vocals, skip this CD. Otherwise if you like girly vocals you might like this album. It's not bad at all. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Distance (Japan version)
December 23, 2005 A+ SongsThis album is more Americanized in genre, but still, totally different from the US/UK Exodus album. These songs are really uniqe to modern J-music which makes them interesting to listen to. Utada really has talent in her musical compositions...!!! Did you find this review helpful?

December 23, 2005 Deep Music and Styles
Utada has really worked hard on this album, in terms of musical composition. It is impossible to forget any of the chorus medlys in this album after the first listen. This is what Jpop music should all look up to, in my opinion: passion and voice! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 23, 2005 Get this...Don't get all those overrated and profuse CDs of Twins, but instead get this BEST album. Twins are the best in their older days, and only SOME of their new material are good, so those are my reasons. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Touch Of Love (2nd Version)
December 23, 2005 Pretty GoodI think TWINS vocals are the best in this album. Gillians voice is better than Charlene's in my opinion, and more mature. The songs have interesting lyrics, and very catchy. I don't like the entire CD though. Overall it's a nice Canto-pop album to have. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Evolution (Limited Edition)
December 23, 2005 A Lot of Fun Songs and GenresI'm no TWiNS fan, but I'd have to say this CD is really fun to listen to, but nothing is great if you're really picky about vocals. Because these girls have no vocals, they just use their talking voice to sing...but with the abundant money and song writers for them, sure, why not like this CD just for that? They're just cute, nothing BIG. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

She hasn't released many full-length DVDs for a long time so this item is a great buy. She looks stunning in her PVs and playful in some of them too. The new "White Light" video is a great addition for the holiday season. A great present! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Bold & Delicious / Pride (CD+DVD) (Overseas Version)
Bold & Delicious / Pride (CD+DVD) (Overseas Version) DVD Region 3
(1)Our Price: US$11.99Usually ships within 7 daysDecember 23, 2005 New GenreHere we go again: Ayu brings out new surprises with BnD/Pride!! This single reminds me of American music, with powerful Ayu vocals (better than ever), in both songs. But it will take a while for you to get used to BnD, because it is so un-Ayu!! But nevertheless it's a fun and awesome song. Pride sounds like one of those old classic love songs, with a sad touch to it. You must also get this single because of the great remixes. You will like the remixes if you were dissapointed with the ones in the 'fairyland' single. The BnD PV was pretty awesome too, again something different but interesting. I thought that Pride PV could have been more elaborate in terms of theme, but Ayu looks stunning in that video. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 23, 2005 A Very Good DebutApart from the fact that a lot of the songs are covers, Cyndi Wang shows great singing skill in this deubt. Her style is cute-girl pop, but Cyndi sings with great feeling and love. "Cinderella's Tear" has to be the best song in this album. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
December 23, 2005 A Musical Treat
In MUSIC Mika sings a buffet of varieties, showing off her skills!! Of course, the single songs are unmistakably masterpieces of Mika, but I would like to add album songs 'Fed Up'. 'Hitori', 'Kumo no Ito" to the hit-list. The jazzy songs are not as good as the ones in Mika's LOVE album, but all other songs are wonderful. You would never get tired of listening to this album. I find her voice very versatile, as to I find it difficult to explain why I love Mika's voice so much. I must add that the album pictures are veryyy creative- just like any other Mika photo shoots!! This album is a must-get for your Jpop music collection. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 23, 2005 Landy WenThis is my first purchase from Landy Wen. The two CDs are separated between ballads and pop songs. I'd much prefer Landy sing ballads, because the fast songs sound kind of strange to me-not her style maybe? But don't get me wrong, Landy is WONDERFUL in the ballad/love songs. Her deep voice reminds me of Elva Hsiao, which is quite rare in the Cpop world nowadays. You must listen to Landy if you're tired of the bland goody-girl voices. Did you find this review helpful?

Around The World (CD+DVD Version) (Hong Kong Version)
December 23, 2005 Double PlusBoth the CD and DVD are AMAZING. I can listen to the entire album without stopping. Each song is sung with so much passion and energy! Ami Suzuki's style is mainly techno/eurobeat which dance music fans will enjoy a little, in addition to Ami's passionate/deep vocals. I can't help but to sing along to songs like Hopeful, Around the World, Negaigoto, and etc. I never knew that Ami could dance so well, before watching the DVD! The eventful dance track was my favorite. Ami blends in hip-hop/para dance together wonderfully. Bonus off-shots are also included, so you can see the cute Ami in-making. The booklet is a little creepy to me, but that does not matter. Ami writes her own lyrics!! The lyrics are really meaningful too, if you read the Chinese translation. Take a trip w/ Ami Suzuki!!!

Ruppina BEST (ALBUM+DVD)(Japan Version)
Ruppina BEST (ALBUM+DVD)(Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(3)Our Price: US$29.99Usually ships within 7 days1 people found the following helpful
December 23, 2005 Female Voice!You'll think, "how does she do that?!" after hearing Ruppina's near-perfect soprano voice. I've never heard any female voice as a clear and 'high' as Ruppina's. Most of her songs are hopeful in tone, for easy listening. You can get this best album now for a very low price (japan version!) which is what I got. The DVD is very nice too because it includes a mini-live and I never seen Ruppina sing live before. And to say the truth, she's good singing live! The PVs are a little bland, but the image quality is good, and I guess fancy PVs just aren't Ruppina's style. A very nice collection for new fans! I highly recommend Ruppina if you like Kokia~ Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(10)Our Price: US$21.49Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysDecember 23, 2005 Must-Buy for Cpop/Ballad FansEverything, from FanFan's image and voice, evokes a pleasing feeling to me. I fell in love with her soothing voice at once after buying this best collection. Each song is her 'best' song, which mostly ballads and easy-listening, with a little guitar sound here and there. But the highlight of this album has to be the artist's voice itself. You must listen to FanFan to know what I am talking about~ Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
December 12, 2005 A great collection of Namie's early works
Most songs are dance music in genre, with powerful Namie vocals. The song that stands out the most to me is "dreaming i was dreaming'. It's a very strange/unique song that you listen to during the night. All others are singles that you've already heard from Amuro in her early albums. Every song is great.

Lovin'' it (Overseas Version)
December 12, 2005 A Song with MeaningBeneath the awesome style on the surface, 'lovin' it' is a meaningful song, with a tad sorrow in tone. Namie does a great job portraying her feelings. Verbal's rap is great too, as it complements Namie's main vocals perfectly ironically since he is rapping on a completely different key. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Wishing On The Same Star (Overseas Version)
December 12, 2005 Wow'Wishing on the same star" is one of the most powerful love songs by Namie so far. The English in the chorus is not bad at all. Furthermore, "Did U" is a very unique song with a catchy chorus. I mainly bought this single for "Did U", it deserves to be on an album! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
December 12, 2005 Good
'Shine More' is a catchy pop song while 'Drive' is a calming r&b song. Both are not the best on my list but definitely above average songs. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
