Funky Town (Japan Version)
2 people found the following helpful
May 18, 2007 Best upbeat single!!!"Funky Town" is so much fun!!! Namie has come back with a fresh, original style and Japan is loving it. I am a bigger Namie fan since she finished her last live tour, "Live Style 2006"! It's because that last showing in her hometown, Okinawa, she changed. She got reconnected with her fans, music, and the inner Namie. She's got hype again and joy!!! This single makes me so happy when I listen to it; it's cool, sexy, and fun.
However, the B-side is too repetive and can get annoying. It's great though if you ignore the irritating bits.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 18, 2007 This is impressive????I only give it any stars at all because of her voice. However, Koda Kumi is not an "artist" in my oppinion. She's a stuck-on-herself, oversexual (sorry to say) typical singer. Kumi says that she has "many sides"...but to me, she has "many acts". After all, she said herself that she's her own favorite artist because she's worked on herself and thinks she's perfect. However, I disagree. If you have to try so hard to be sexy, then you're not really a sexy person. Of course, Kumi will take off her clothes for anything Rythm Zone asks her to and try to act sexy.
She used to be just a plain, sweet Japanese girl and now she's changed into this plastic doll who doesn't hardly look Japanese anymore -n- is painted up with TONS of makeup...and switches personalities so much, I don't even know who she is!!!! I used to love Kumi...and part of me still does...but I will not be a fan again until she changes her ways and acts like an adult instead of a childish immature teenager. I'm extremely disappointed with this concert and I do not recommend it to anyone.
I believe a "true artist" is to be respected for their music and passion for it...not for passion of taking their clothes off to get sells. If she didn't take her clothes off, she'd be a nobody today.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 18, 2007 Wonderful debutThis is a great debut for the beautiful JYONGRI. I don't regret ordering it and guess wut!? The DVD is region-free so it'll play on any DVD player!!! Her music videos are so great and while she is adorable, she's not "too cute" like Morning Musume. She's really talented + this will make her a permanent name in your collection. I can't wait to order her next single, "Lullaby For You"! It's brilliant.
She's the young Utada Hikaru, in my oppinion. Sings amazing, songwrites pretty good for beginner, and produces her own works. IMPRESSED+++Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 18, 2007 Wasn't expecting much...When I ordered this, I didn't imagine I'd be SO impressed. Of course, BoA's Korean is wayyyyy better than her Japanese...so that's why I wanted it. Her Japanese works are too overrated actually. Her Korean stuff is what's the best. I wish she'd do more of it.
This album is really amazing. I didn't know BoA was THIS wonderful at Hip Hop until I ordered it. I love every song -n- the ballads will take your breath away. It's so cheap too!!! I'd charge more for such a wonderful album!!! It's almost just as good as her latest Japanese release, "Made In Twenty"! Next, I'm gonna order all her other Korean works that I don't own already! It's so different. LOVE IT!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 18, 2007 Best BoA!!!OMG! I loooove this album! She really has grown up so much and you see her maturity in this album. Songs like "Lady Galaxy", "Revolution", and "no more make me sick" are HOTT and will make you want to dance. However, then there's a tender side to BoA with the gorgeous ballads, "Your Color" and "Our Love ~to my parents" which are two of the most beautiful ballads on the album. I truly love this and I'm so glad I ordered two copies...one for me and one for my fiance'! This made him a BoA fan!!!!
In this album, BoA displays talents in Hip Hop and Pop! It's BRILLIANT! Even though her specialty is Pop, I would LOVE to hear more Hip Hop from her.
Any BoA and non-BoA fan will appreciate this original album.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Sweet Impact (Japan Version)

May 18, 2007 BoA Back In Action!After showing her skills off in singing such as in "BoA The LIVE" DVD and "Winter Love" single last year, BoA wanted to dance for this single and wow...she REALLY did. The thing about BoA is that she is amazing and she doesn't have to try hard. She doesn't have to use her body to sell...she just sells anyway!!! If you buy this, you'll see why.
This upbeat number I can't get enough of! I've listened to it over 12 times! It makes me want to dance too! The B-side is pretty good too! The remix is amazing if you buy the first press. I really love this single and BoA shows why she's known as the BEST dancer in Asia and one of the best vocalists. This is perfect for summer and I'm going to be listening to it all the way.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
A BEST (Japan Ver.)

May 18, 2007 Recommend A BEST 2I love this album and yes, it is a brilliant collection...but if you honestly want "The Best Of Ayumi Hamasaki"...you should look into A BEST 2 -white- and A BEST 2 -black- editions...they are truly the collection to chose! However, this album is so wonderful to own if you're a diehard Ayu fan like me and must collect everything! =P She's brilliant. Simply put. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 18, 2007 Ayu's best original albumAyu really shows her growth as an artist in this album. Mixing hardrock and pop so gracefully, she demonstrates why she is the best artist in Japan. This album, despite all the critism, is...words can't even express. Ayu has been a star all these years and NEVER has she went shallow or used her body to make sells. Quoted from Ayu herself, "I hope truth in music always prevails over anything else. There are no lies in my music. I am me, not gonna change"...and she proves that in this album. This is one of the most amazing and most treasured albums I've ever owned. I'm proud to say I am a true fan of Ayu. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
But pay close attention to her PVs or you'll mistake its meaning. Ayu speaks in metaphors...so you have to really dig deep to understand. Nothing's ever what it seems. Ayu is unpredictable even after so many years. She's who she is and you're gonna love her.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
