June 7, 2007 pretty goodI think this album is a pretty good release by Beni. Cool tracks as well as a studio live version and an English version. The English song isn't very good though, so don't expect anything great. The studio live song is very good though! While I do describe this album as cliche' at best...it's still nice. I just wouldn't listen to it alot.
If you're looking for a new artist, give Beni a try. She might surprise you. Though she's not very popular, she's still good. Not great, but give her some time.
I'll be looking forward to her releases from now on.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 7, 2007 okaythis is an "okay" single release from Hitomi Shimatani. I've heard and seen the PV for "Neva Eva", but I'm not as impressed as most. It's not that great. Of course, she's beautiful and her vocals are astounding, but it's nothing to go crazy over. The PV is humerous though, but very cheesy and dorky. Hopefully, Hitomi's next single will be better. This style for her was just "ok".
I've been a fan for a very long time, but this is NOTHING in comparison to "PASIO", "Mermaid", or "Falco"...
Yes yes, this is a "new style" from her like alot of people say, but that doesn't neccesarily mean it's good for her. When you think about it, Hitomi is always doing "new styles"...this is probably just the only one actually paid attention to because she's dancing and doing a more sexier image than usual (while still maintaining class though). Honestly, I wouldn't waste money on the CD+DVD version; buy CD-ONLY and save yourself this from seeing this cheesy and embarassing PV.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Jolin J-Top Best Selection (2CD+DVD)

June 7, 2007 AMAZING!!!I truly love this "best of" compilation. I bought the Chinese version of this as well as this version and I must say, my money was well spent! It was so worth it.
When I first read the DVD tracklist, I was disappointed thinking that it didn't have enough videos. I was very wrong! The DVD includes:
*"Signature Move" PV and "Le Yuan" PV as well as two other never-before-released PVs!
*75 minutes of "making of" footage from Magic to J-Game as well as promotional events! Also includes never-before-seen concert footage and an exclusive performance of "Pirates"!
I enjoyed this 2CD+DVD immensely. However, this version only includes 1 photobook which highlights album photosessions. If you buy the Chinese version too, it includes (my favorite) photobook with never-before-seen concert photos as well as bonus extras!
Buy both to expierence J-TOP to its fullest! You won't regret it!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 5, 2007 Fun!hitomi may not be able to sing very well, but the music makes up for it. This song is addictive and very fun. Matter of fact, it's the ONLY hitomi song I like. Great for shallow, yet fun listening.
However, DO NOT BUY if you're wanting a very beautiful vocal performance. I'd recommend BoA or Hitomi Shimatani for that.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 5, 2007 bad voice, lame lyricsThis song is very bad...simply put. The song sounds HORRIBLE. hitomi cannot sing very good. She's not very pretty either, unless piled with makeup. Overall, a shallow song with bad vocals. Not recommended. Only Japanese-obsessors and hitomi-diehards would like this. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 3, 2007 something differentAi is a very special artist and there's no one else like her in the world. She's so happy, cute, and infectious! She'll make you happy too! This concert is a wonderful thing to own and make sure you get the deluxe version because the offshot is ADORABLE!
How can you call yourself an Ai fan if you don't own her first tour!? =P This is a major step in her career and what really showcased her as a performer. She's so charming and you'll love her! Trust me.
Sure, it may not have all the fancy stuff most J-pop concerts have, but she makes up for it in personality, lively-ness, and talent. Ai's vocals aren't always perfect, but they're not horrible. She especially shines on ballads. Her voice is very beautiful.
Please help support Ai and buy this! =D You won't regret it! Even if you're not a fan, this will make you one!!! It's great!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Mahaloha (Japan Version)

June 1, 2007 Cute & SweetI have heard the full song, Mahaloha, and I must say...it's very fun and very relaxing! Perfect for a laid-back summer. It's so cute and so peaceful. You'll want to just lay back & tan in the sun while listening to this mid-tempo track...and sing along!
However, if you're very active and want a fun, jumpy song for summer...I recommend Koda Kumi's "FREAKY" single or BoA's "Sweet Impact" single!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 1, 2007 only 300 copies sold...I don't understand why this single sold so horribly. It's very good -n- very fun. I like Beni; she's pretty cool.
Please buy this to support her! She needs it! She feels so unloved T_T This sold only 300 copies and failed to chart from the poor sales.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 1, 2007 OVERRATEDThe lyrics are beautiful, I'll admit...but Hikki's voice is very screechy in the song and the chorus is so repetive, you'll want to run over her with a car yourself. (reference to the PV)
The PV is beautiful until Hikki was hit by a car, then I busted out laughing how she just poofed up into the air...very bad computer effects, btw. It ruined the whole song.
This is one of her worst singles. I wouldn't give it a second listen.

EXODUS (Japan Version)

June 1, 2007 LOLThis album is by-far Hikki's worst, since no one wants to speak up and say so. It flopped in the USA and even some of her most baist fans will admit that it reeked.
There's only 3 good tracks in my oppinion: "Devil Inside", "Exodus", and "You Make Me Wanna Be A Man"!
The ever-hilarious track, "Easy Breezy", is known to be one of the best tracks...but it's ruined by the lyrics "You're Easy Breezy and I'm Japanesey"...hahahahaha! It's an extremely shallow piece of work you'd never imagine Utada Hikaru singing.
I bought it to support Hikki's coming to the USA...but I NEVER listen to it unless it's the 3 songs I named above.
If anything, she should've released "Ultra Blue" (singing all the tracks in English) as her debut American release. This was just horrible!!! Most the tracks are the typical sound you'd hear from any American artist. Hikki should've showcased how different from them she is and not how much like them she could be.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 1, 2007 cute for kids...this is a cute song, however, I believe it's quite ridiculous to release it as a single. I think it should've been a digital release instead.
It's sweet, of course, but don't expect any surprises or great vocals. It's just simple, but children might enjoy it.
I wouldn't listen to it more than once.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 1, 2007 Best single of Hikki'sThis is Hikki's best single ever! The song is enchanting and beautiful & the PV will transport you into a magical world. It's my favorite song & PV from Utada Hikaru; a must-buy for any Utada Hikaru fan and a must-buy for new listeners! Her voice is so smooth and beautiful in this song.
My mom usually hates Hikaru's voice, but in this song...she loves it! Even if you're not crazy about her singing voice, you still MUST buy this.
Gorgeous, beautiful, amazing...just everything you could ask for from Utada.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 30, 2007 Moon & SunriseThe ballad, Moon & Sunrise, is the most desired track from this single...yet all the other songs are GREAT too. BoA doing rock was actually very good. She can do basically ANYTHING! Pop, Hip Hop, Rock, Latino-flavored tracks like Valenti...just anything. It's splendid and I'm lovin' it. The instrumentals are such a great convience too! ^_^ Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 30, 2007 Not alot of hype from NamieThis song is fun to listen to if you're just cruising down to the mall or something, but I wouldn't hit repeat. The guy featured in the song is waaay more hyped than Namie is and sounds like he's having more fun! She seems very calm and a bit bored. I would rather skip this track and go to the other A-side, "Ningyo", which is very suiting for Namie's voice and will make you drift asleep. It sounds like a sweet lullaby.
Overall, this single is pretty good, but I'd definitely check more into "Baby Don't Cry" or "FUNKY TOWN" if I were you.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 30, 2007 okay singlethis single is fairly good, but I'd say the real treat is the B-side, "Come", which is very enchanting and takes you to a far away world...it does for me anyway. It makes me relax. "So Crazy", however, is a good Hip Hop song and Namie even raps in it! Yet, it it's slightly boring once you get to the second verse and will quickly lose your interest. It's very repetive and very shallow. Not one of Namie's best. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 30, 2007 something to be desired...This is a great album by Namie including all her wonderful Hip Hop hits from her past singles. However, I must say the one big factor missing is the emotion. It leaves alot to be desired in that area for the fact that Namie doesn't really write her own songs and I guess, unlike BoA who can still put her heart into them no matter who wrote 'em, Namie simply cannot. However, for some meaningless yet very nice dance songs that are just fun, this album is for you.
Highlight tracks include "No", "Queen Of Hip Pop", "Wowa", and "I Wanna Show You My Love"!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 25, 2007 Very goodI never really knew of U;nee until she passed away and I heard about it. I must say, I truly regret never of having heard her beautiful voice while she was alive. v_v U;nee was a terrific artist and her songs are so great. They always make me wanna dance.
I am going to order all of her albums for myself and for my fiance'. She is someone to remember. Always trying to please her fans, we will remember her always...
~Always in my heart & prayers~
Rest In Peace, U;neeDid you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
