November 17, 2007 She's okay! n_nI may not be a fan of Aiko, but I just wanted to say her voice is cute and she's really pretty! I like her songs, although I'm not crazy for 'em...they are decent & fun! I'm going to buy this album and give her a chance though so if you're reading this review...maybe you should give her a chance too!? =P maaaybe!? I've heard alot of Japanese singers and Aiko Kayo actually is one of the good ones. I can't wait to buy this!!!!!!!! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 17, 2007 It's O.K. n_n''After hearing all the hustle-bustle over this album, I thought I'd give Namie a chance since I've always liked her but never made the step to buy a product of hers. I let this be my first thing to get, but I was let down. I really like "Baby Don't Cry", "Pink Key", "Should I Love Him?", and "Hide & Seek"...but as for the others...I'm not too crazy about!!! I'm sorry if this offends anyone! =( I'm just stating my oppinion.
I do agree the other songs are catchy too..but what else? I like for an album to offer everything - great music, catchy rythmn, brilliant vocals, and powerful lyrics. Most of this album had only the catchy part. The DVD is good too, but is missing energy. I think all dance songs should have hyped energy..don't u think?????? n_n'' The WORLD OF GOLDEN EGGS was HILARIOUS though!!! I'm happy I bought the CD+DVD just because of that. I laughed alot. Namie really has a sweet personality and a good sense of humor. I also like the "Baby Don't Cry" PV because its sweet & special. I just think the really good songs on this album should've had a PV instead of "FUNKY TOWN" and "Can't Eat, Can't Sleep, I'm Sick". "Hello" is okay though. It is very addictive.
Well, Namie isn't for everyone...but I wish her all the best! She's a beautiful girl with a precious heart at least. I'm happy to own this even if I'm not too crazy about it. I just don't really think I'll buy any of her other CDs in the future without listening first. I am gonna grab "Queen Of Hip Pop" CD though! hehehe! That album is really light-hearted & fun!!!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 17, 2007 LOVE It!Don't you just love a new Otsuka Ai release!? This album is wonderful in every way, but I just hoped there'd be new songs. =/ I guess Ai Chin's "Pocket" single does make up for the lack of new songs on "LOVE PiECE" though...so it's okay just so long as you grab her latest single along with it. I really think this album is so much fun & emotional!! I only buy CD only versions of Ai Chin's albums though because the DVDs never have enough videos on them (cept for Ai Am BEST CD+DVD)!!!!! I wish I could see more footage of Ai! She's very cute & lovable.
I hope you give her a chance after reading my review! hehehe!!! Ai has such beauty in music!!!! ^_____________^-VDid you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(10)Our Price: US$48.25Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:November 17, 2007 Sexy fun!!!I love all the songs on this album + most the videos on the DVD, but I must agree that "Shake It" is going waaaaaay too far and is inappropriate. =/ sorry, fellow Kuu fans. I'm not rating that video though, I'm rating everything. I believe it deserves a decent 8/10 stars! I love Koda's voice; it's unique and gorgeous! Just listening and dancing to this CD can make any girl feel like an ero-kawaii queen! hehehe! At least, that's how I feel when I do! Kumi has her own charm about her. While I do believe her non-decent sexual stuff is too easily overlooked and passed off as nothing, she's still not as bad as some singers and could be alot worse.
Best songs are "Let's Party", "Trust You", "24", "Selfish", "Hands"...well...ALL OF THEM!
This is her best album to ME. Every song is brilliantly produced.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(1)Our Price: US$14.94Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:November 17, 2007 not like Ju-On 2I promise I'm not a baist person when it comes to Japanese versions of American movies...it's just this one really reeked in comparison to its predecessor and to Ju-On 2. I was scared only once and believe me, I'm a real scaredy cat when it comes to horrors...but this one almost made me go to sleep. I was greatly disappointed because I love The Grudge series and had high expectations for this one...but I was just still left at the end like ".......that's it?????" O.o i feel kinda bad I ordered it before watching. Now I'm stuck with it! =/
I hope the 3'rd one will be better! >_<Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Miliyah sings so beautifully on all the songs. I think it's alot better than her 1'st album. I wish Mili was noticed! She's more talented than people pass her off to be. This album is also good in lyrics and emotion. It's passion, great beats & rythmns, emotion, and beauty all packed onto 1 CD. ^_____^ I really enjoy listening to this.

Reincarnation (DVD) (US Version)
Reincarnation (DVD) (US Version) DVD Region 1
(1)Our Price: US$14.98Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:November 17, 2007 not as good as expectedFrom Mr. Takashi Shimizu, I expected something really scary like Ju-On, but this is nothing like it. It does have very creepy moments and a few really scary times, but the storyline is a bit complicated and you get lost easily. It's not something I'd get hooked on and recommend to others. It does have its own original charm though, far from typical! I just sat down hoping to be scared silly, but was left with a "?" above my head. It's more psychological than anything and gets under your skin at times and has you thinking about it for awhile...mostly wondering what was going on half of the time. =/ Overall, not that good...nothing like Ju-On or Ringu. It is fair though. I suppose it depends on the audience! I think half will like it, and half won't. I'm one of the half that doesn't. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 17, 2007 All-Around Wonderful"Pocket" is her best single in a long time to me! The A-side is so so pretty and the B-sides are great too. In one of them, she sings ENGLISH. *giggles* it sounds funny! I like it though!!!!! I feel just the same as Ignored Truth does. I wonder why this CD isn't doing good on Oricon!? =/ It's perfect and Ai Chin sings so beautifully. If you buuuy it, you'll see what I meeeeaaan! *giggles* buuuy it, buuuuuuy it! u know u wanna! =P Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(3)Our Price: US$48.25Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:November 17, 2007 Heart-Touching, PERFECTI greatly respect Ignored Truth's review, but I don't believe it does justice to this show. No offence to you, Truth. n_n This concert is heart-touching, emotionally beautiful, passionate, exciting, and so much fun! The first part of the show may seem a bit slow, but it showcases just how gorgeously amazing Ai Chin's voice is. She sung so beautiful, it brought me to tears! Her vocals on this live are even better than the CD!
After all the beautiful ballads & jazz versions of "Biidama" & "Black-Tongued Japanese Cow Tongue for 680 Yen"...you hear "BABASHII" echo throughout the concert hall. You're like O.o ??? and you can't help but laugh so hard at her dancers!!!!! XD Then, she comes out and performs (VERY HYPERLY) and sounds great too! The fun doesn't stop there! Afterwards, "Furenjaa" follows and has everyone going "FIGHT!" hehehe! Then, Ai Chin sings "Happy Days" into a megaphone while getting the audience even more pumped. She sounds super cutiepie-ish here n_n The "Sakuranbo" performance had everyone going mad including me! *giggles*
After all this, she returned for an encore! Performing "PEACH", "SMILY", "CHU-LIP", and then "LOVE MUSIC", in which she cried and made me choke up too!!! She's so precious! n_n This part of the concert was my favorite and really shows Ai's voice. "CHU-LIP" was soooo funny!
This concert was AMAZING and I'm not gonna spoil it for you, but I'll just say..."LOVE MUSIC" wasn't the last song performed..hehehe! ENJOY!!
Highlight performances include "Biidama + Black-Tongued Japanese Beef for 680 Yen", "Kingyo Hanabi", "Daisuki da yo", "BABASHI Lives", "Happy Days", "SMILY", "CHU-LIP", "LOVE MUSIC"! If you're not one for ballads, just be patient...the concert greatly picks up!!! ^_______^ This is the best DVD I've ever watched + the bonus extras are hilarious! You get to see pranks that Ai and her crew planned behind-the-scenes, when she goes bowling, and when she plays the violin. >_< hold your ears...*giggles* I would rate this DVD higher than a 10 if it was possible.Did you find this review helpful?

November 16, 2007 a little sad =(This is my first time seeing SOULHEAD live, but I was kinda let down after watching this DVD. The first 5-6 songs of the show were really bad vocally. Yoshika must've been nervous, but she was on the wrong key than the original song which threw Tsugumi's harmonies off. Then, it got better for about 5-6 songs, but went bad again! The encore was really good at least! I think they are extremely talented still, but this show doesn't showcase that, in my oppinion. There were two songs though that took my breath away and it was - Itsu Made Mo/Kimi no Kiseki! They sung like angels on those two. ^______^ Anyway, despite the bad things...the show was entertaining and they are both really sweet girls. I just wonder if this was a one-time-thing and if they actually sing better live than what was on this DVD. It was supposed to be a 5'th Anniversary concert. A concert that showcased what they've learned in the past 5 years...but the results just weren't good. =/ I'm sorry and I don't want to offend anyone! It's just how I feel. I was disappointed with it. I do still love SOULHEAD though! n_n I'm going to buy their 2006 Naked Tour and hopefully, it'll be better.
Highlighted performances of this DVD were "Kimi no Kiseki", "Pray", "Itsu Made Mo", "OH MY SISTER", "Dear Friends", "Sora", Yoshika's solo, and Tsugumi's RAP solo! n_n If any of these songs are your favorite, you should definitely buy this because you won't wanna miss how beautiful these songs sound live!Did you find this review helpful?
