WHEN POP HITS THE FAN (Overseas Version)
December 12, 2005 Good Urban MusicThis collaboration album has a lot of style, with Namie as the main vocal singer. All songs are very catchy and to the beat. You won't be dissapointed:) My favorites are "uh uh", "damn fight", "whats on your mind". A good CD for your Amuro collection. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(9)Our Price: US$8.99List: US$9.49Save: US$0.50 (5%)Related promotions:December 12, 2005 Excellent.Both 'so crazy' and 'come' are excellent single songs, which are featured in her 'Style' album. My favorite of the two would have to be 'Come', a dance song that sounds like something that you will hear at a fashion show. Only I wish Namie would sing more songs like 'Come'.

(6)Our Price: US$9.49Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:December 12, 2005 Very GoodBoth songs on this single are great. If you've heard qohp already, this single is what foreshadowed the content of the qohp album. Yes, both songs are hip-hop in genre but nonetheless catchy with style, just like the cover image. 'Alarm' is good but not as great as 'Strobe' (interesting lyrics!) as it has a mysterious/sensual sound. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 12, 2005 want me want me, not handle me!First of all 'want me, want me' is one of the best songs Namie has ever sung. The background music is indianish and the song is fast-paced with a catchy chorus. Trust me this song will stay in your head for a long while. And don't forget that it's a good song to dance to (if you saw the PV). 'Handle me' is similar in genre but just a mediocre song. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

'Girl talk' is a nice song too, with a poppy/happy sound. 'the speed star' is a hip-hop song with attitude...and extremely catchy! Overall this is a good single. Namie on the cover looks cute too ^_^ Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 11, 2005 10/10 beautiful contrastViolet Sauce is a mysterious song sung in a low tone, while White Light is a warm/cheery Xmas song sung in a sweet/high tone. Both songs are catchy to the extreme. This single is a must get for the Christmas time. The Voilet Sauce remix is an awesome song by itself, which is just as good as the original mix.

D.D.D. feat.SOULHEAD (Limited Edition)(Japan Version)
December 11, 2005 D.D.D. all the way!Man I love this song!! It's got attitude and spunk, in a completely new style!! SOULHEAD is great, especially in the rap part. This is a must-get, if you're not planning on buying all 12 of Koda's new singles! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
December 11, 2005 Crock/pop with Attitude
A wonderful debut!!! On the cover Alan may seem like just any other amateur singer, but to the truth, the guy's got talent. The rock sounds in his songs is something new in the Cpop that I have heard...and very pleasing to the ear I say! His voice is very masculine and dominant..even in singing ballads. I consider him to be the best male debut of the year 2005 I hope to hear more from Alan soon. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2005 A - MY STORY (Overseas Version) DVD Region 3
(10)Our Price: US$25.75Related promotions:December 11, 2005 The Story of AyuNow whether or not you liked the MY STORY album does not affect how you will like this concert. Because, not only the songs themselves, but everything, from costume-stage-acting-directing-vocals-choreography-lighting, is the very top quality, and comes from the deepest part of Ayu's heart. This concert IS the best that Ayu has done so far. So much effort has been put into designing this performance, and you will know this if you watch this amazing 3 part DVDs. If you don't know already, Ayu spent a massive amount of money in the costumes that she wore. Each piece clothing is unique to Ayu. Now, most important of all, Ayu's vocals SOARs in this concert! I've never seen Ayu sing so well, and so confidently! She has shown her growth and skill through her magnificent vocals, singing of angst, love, and happiness. Furthermore, the stage is magnificent. You will never know what will appear next, for the stage exfoliates itself throughout the concert. And as for the addition of the new dancers, the concert is more fun to watch in the talking and bloopers parts. Please buy the DVD version. This concert must be enjoyed in the highest quality that is possible. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

This concert is not bad at all, even if compared to the 'perfect' MY STORY tour dvd. The entire concert goes from cool>silly>happy~ It is different from the other concerts Ayu has had in that Ayu really shows her casual/fun side. Also, the costumes are absolutely amazing. Ayu does a great job singing the old loveppears song 'immature', with a totally different touch, which appealed to me. She does a lot of dancing in this concert too. Now if you're already an Ayu-fan there is no need for me to explain Ayu's stage talent/creativity. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
pupa (Overseas Version)
December 11, 2005 Underrated Avex Artist!I never imagined Uehara to be this pretty/charming, and such a verstile singer she is! The music is the usual Jpop sound, but with her peaceful and special voice everything is different. You really have to hear this CD to know what I am talking about. 'make-up shadow', 'glory~kimi ga iru kara', and 'fantasia' are the particular tracks that stand out to me. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 11, 2005 A Jem for a Low PriceFirst of all, the drama series was excellent. Without hearing this soundtrack, I had already had the bgm and theme songs of "Dae Jang Geum" stuck in my head. Now the ost is available for such a low price! But the quality is A+...the ost itself is a jem retelling the whole story. There is a bonus video if you pop the CD in your computer. You must buy this if you loved the music in the drama series! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 11, 2005 Awesome.This is a perfect tommy single! Everything, from the cover image to the song, and to the lyrics, is great! The definite hit in this song is of course "Lonely in Gorgeous" along with the instrumental track. I never thought that the b-sides would be just as good! 'E-mail More' is my second favorite song from this single. All three songs are in the usual february6 (pop) style so you're in luck if you did not like her heavely6 album. In my opinion all three song in the single are smash-hits. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(6)Our Price: US$19.99Related promotions:December 11, 2005 The Best of Koda KumiIf you're a new Koda fan, then you're definitely in luck because this CD+DVD best album contains all of Koda's best hits, including their music videos. I was surprised to see that so many PVs were included all in one DVD! Also, one additional picture booklet is included with the lyrics booklet (which has beautiful pics too). The money is worth it. If you haven't heard her voice yet, Koda has the talent to reach high notes and low notes with no problem, singing a variety of genres cute-dance-r&b-pop...and etc. Did you find this review helpful?

(11)Our Price: US$25.49Related promotions:November 1, 2005 Mediocre for a Mediocre FanAnd, since I'm not a desperate fan of S.H.E....this concert was merely mediocre. Yeah, the girls were cute, smily, and lively, but they show no connection among themselves, no personality, and no passion. But however the concert should be entertaining for some...with the costumes and catchy songs...but definitely not recommended for J-pop listeners, who know the true quality of a good concert. Well, good job anyways, S.H.E! At least they did not lip-synch... Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
AROUND THE WORLD (Limited Edition)(Japan Version)
October 14, 2005 Love Ami, love 'Around the World'I am a new fan of Suzuki Ami. I am very pleased with her deep voice, which sounds similar to Koda Kumi's. This single song is very good, another dance song with a mysterious aura. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

This is a mandarin album by Sammi. I like the ballads the best. Her mandarin is not perfect, but her voice still sounds good. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

The MV's were 'eh', but the album itself is quite pleasing. Sammi experiences with different style in this album..it gives me a very classical and fatasical feeling. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
