Dong Bang Shin Ki - Please Be Mine : All About TVXQ Season 3 Making Book
July 29, 2009 Love it!Although I was disappointed over the size of the photobook the contents made up for it. I am glad that for once they didn't leave the overseas fans out and actually included english translations. It was a great pleasure flipping though each new page reading the different captions. The pages are rather thin as others has mentioned. The photobook reminds me of a magazine. The pictures are in high quality though.
These pictures are probably the truest from the boys, since most weren't of them posing. All the pictures were very natural and the scenery is beautiful. Overall I love this photobook, it was definitely worth the money. However Prince in Prague and the Paris series remain as my first two favorites. I would recommend this to any TVXQ fan.

(3)Our Price: US$20.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysJune 19, 2008 Room for ImprovementThis album could have been better. I wasn't astonished by any of the songs. Track 4 is definitely the best song of the album, it's no wonder that its Ken's most popular song. I personally like his clear singing voice but his singing really needs improvement if he wants to survive in the entertainment industry. However, he is one of the better new singers out there. He has potential, and I look forward to his future albums.

June 11, 2008 A Good Summer FeelThough this single isn't due for release until late July, fans probably all heard the leaked version by now. My breath was taken away! After my disappointment from Beautiful You I honestly did not expect much from this single . This has got to be the most Japanese styled song Tohoshinki has ever sang. Usually, despite how well their Japanese has improved I always find their songs still with the Korean feel but this song was different, it sounded straight from a Japanese boyband. It's great to see that this single is doing good on the charts of YesAsia already but I just want to remind buyers that YesAsia sales does NOT reflect on the Oricon charts. If you want to support the boys into making history of having three consecutive singles getting #1 on the Oricon charts then please seek alternative sites to buy it that is Oricon friendly. This is by far the most addicting single THSK has ever came out with.

Wish (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)

May 24, 2008 A Beautiful Release!I received much more than I expected from this album. I have very limited knowledge of Yuna Ito's musical career but I was hooked to her music since listening to I'm Here. I'm especially fond of her voice after listening to her old hit Endless Story. Her vocals are impressively beautiful! This album is nearly perfect with wonderfully composed songs. A highly recommend album! My personal favorites are Power of Love, I'm Here, and of course the title tract Wish.

I've been hunting everywhere possible for this! Thank goodness I somehow discovered that YesAsia is restocking it & pre-ordered it before it's too late. My collection feels more fulfilled with this addition. I'm so delighted that I finally got my hands on it. The packaging is beautiful and very elegant shall I put it. It's definitely worth the money. I find the price really reasonable actually. Unlike the previous reviewers, my DVDs came in flawless condition.

Heart Station (Japan Version)
March 30, 2008 A+ AlbumDidn't expect heaps from this album but it reached beyond my expectation. Utada Hikaru is indeed a very talented singer. Her songs can not be compared to any other, neither can her vocals. My favorite song in the album is Flavor of Life which I simply can't get enough of. It's beautiful.

March 13, 2008 Yet Another Great Album .
Nicholas Teo finally returns with another full length album that has been delayed time after time due to his illness and other problems. I must say he is one of the most underrated singers in Taiwan. He has a awesome clear singing voice and his live singing is especially impressive. Nicholas Teo should definitely receive more recognition than this.
I loved all the songs in this album. Certain lyrics were really touchy and you can really hear the emotions he portray in his singing. Track 3 Prince has became a hit and it does have the status to become a hit song. It's very catchy. The first time I listened to it, I had to set it on repeat. Like his previous album he sticked with slow songs in this one, which is a good decision since it matches his voice.
I would definitely recommend this album.

I really like the style of this ring, reminds me very much of the Tiffany & Co one but this one is definitely made more affordable. I especially liked it because it's labeled as "Hero Style." I have no complaints towards this ring. The price is fair. Recommended to any Hero fans.

March 2, 2008 Rainy Night - Simply BeautifulThere should be no doubt that Junsu is the best singer in TVXQ along with Hero. Junsu is well known for portraying feelings extremely well in songs with his unique, powerful, and expressive vocals. My attention was really not caught by "If..", the song wasn't as catchy as I thought it would be. However, Rainy Night is simply beautiful. I find the song almost flawless in terms of lyrics to vocals. My favorite part of the song happens at the end "I cant say goodbye cause I love you." You could actually feel the heart wrenching pain in his last line. Out of all the TVXQ Trick member's solos I would say Junsu's fits my taste most.

Dong Bang Shin Ki - 2007 Paris Photobook : Bonjour Paris I (Limited Edition)
(9)Our Price: US$44.99List: US$62.99Save: US$18.00 (29%)March 2, 2008 Charming PicturesI absoutely regret not buying the limited edition version of the Paris Photobooks collection. Still, I ended up buying all three photobooks individually. I was really happy this morning when it came in the mail. The photobooks were thinner than I expected, personally I feel that it would have been better if they made it into one fat book. Compared to their Prague photobook their attires are more casual in this one and more happy goofy pictures. The DongBang boys are as usual charming and handsome. I really love some of the pictures; the natural shots of them are breathtaking. My favorite out of the three is the third Paris Photobook. Honestly if you don't have the money, buying one of them is enough. Overall I love these photobooks! I was more impressed by their Prague one though.

T (2CD+2DVD)(Hong Kong Version)
February 21, 2008 Couldn't ask for more!T is an album that ranges greatly in genres. Some ballads, pop, dance songs, r&b, etc. Track 1 Trick brings together TVXQ's five solos into one song, giving you a short preview of each song. However despite that the five songs were suppose to be five individual songs, you could hardly tell by listening to Trick. You would be "tricked" to think that it's just one song. Track 3 Purple Line should be quite well known by now, a new upbeat fast song that TVXQ has been heavily promoting. Track 7 Darkness Eyes is my favorite out of the album. It's very catchy! Kiss Kiss Sayonara was composed by Jae Joong and written by Micky, a beautiful heart wrenching song. This album also includes some of their older songs that came out as singles previously such as their hit songs Love in the Ice, Loving You, Forever Love and etc. This album definitely deserves five stars. I applaud TVXQ for taking the chance to explore all genres. It's amazing to see how far TVXQ has got in the Japanese music industry.

S Magazine September 2007
1 people found the following helpful
September 14, 2007 Great Photo shots of DBSKI bought this for DBSK but disappointingly when I opened the magazine I discovered that there was more pages of Super Junior than DBSK (just like the August edition). I was hoping there would be more DBSK in this one. Anyhow, I loved the photo shots of the DongBang boys! They are like always so charming and mysterious. It's a bit pricey for a normal magazine like this but I felt it was worth it for the cover alone.

In Progress (AVCD)
June 27, 2007 Noticable ImprovementAs expected Kenny is back with a brand new summer album. His song Book of Prediction (Track 2) has already topped almost all charts weeks before the official release. I would say this is the best song out of the entire album. There is noticeable improvements in Kenny's vocals compared to his Boy'z days. The album comes with a mini photo book which includes both dorky and hot pictures of Kenny. In this album he has seemingly went through a process of changing his looks, and I'm liking it.Though improvements are shown, and the songs are pretty catchy, I didn't find any of the songs addicting or spectacular. I prefer his previous album MusicK over this one. I'm pretty neutral with this album.

Dong Bang Shin Ki - The 2nd Asia Tour Concert "O" Documentary Book Special Package (Limited Edition) VCD
(7)Our Price: US$49.99List: US$69.99Save: US$20.00 (29%)June 27, 2007 Wow!I expected the book to be thinner and smaller judging from what I saw when the Dong Bang boys holding it. This is by far one of my most favorite DBSK/TVXQ purchases! It's definitely worth it. The pictures were all beautiful and high quality. I flipped through in excitement wishing that I could attended their breathtaking concert. I look forward in seeing their O' Concert being release on DVD. However the only disappointment to me was the bag. I expected it to be larger width wise. The quality of it isn't great either, I don't think I'll be making use of it. Anyhow, the documentary book alone is definitely worth buying! I love how everything was arranged, and they did a choice of pictures.

Let Me Re-introduce Myself (Hong Kong Deluxe Edition)
Let Me Re-introduce Myself (Hong Kong Deluxe Edition)
(5)Our Price: US$15.49Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysJune 23, 2007 DisappointingAfter three years, Edison Chen has finally released his latest album. As much as I use to like Edison, this album was horrible. Track 1 Remember Me currently the latest hit, involves a fresh western & eastern style, however the lyrics were rather meaningless. In fact, all the songs in this album were meaningless. I can't help but to feel that he is so conceited for bragging about himself in the songs. I wonder if he can sing anything that's not relating to himself. There were no good vocals accompanying this album either. Improvement? I don't see much in his singing.
I was hoping he would produce songs like Hong Kong Ground. I'd say his albums with EEG were better than this.

Dong Bang Shin Ki 3rd Photo Album - The Prince in Prague
(42)Our Price: US$59.99List: US$85.99Save: US$26.00 (30%)June 14, 2007 Amazing , Highly RecommendedAfter some weeks of processing and shipping finally the photo album is in my hands. I read many reviews saying how big it is but I was still surprised to see it in person. It is a very large in length photo book. The quality of the pictures are great, with many charming pictures of the boys. Though I was rather see more pictures of them than the setting itself, it was a pleasure flipping through the book. This is a great addition to my DBSK collection. It was a bit too pricey but I say it's worth it. & I must say Jae Joong looks exceptionally gorgeous in the pictures. All of them look like Prince Charmings in fact. Buy the photo book and see yourself!
It also comes with a sticker sheet which I doubt anyone would dare to use because it's just so pretty.

June 7, 2007 Highly RecommendedAnother great work by DBSK. Album starts off with title song O' Jung Bang Hup, a song different from others. Pay attention to lyrics (or read translations) and you'll get what I mean. Another one of my favorites is Hey!Girl which is very catchy and addicting. Other songs such as The Story Has Just Began leans toward the soothing side. Songs that allow you to close your eyes, lean back and enjoy.
With this album DBSK sweep up an award in almost every award ceremony last year. This alone shows how great and worth buying this album is. It's not a surprise that it managed to climb back into YesAsia's Top Sellers being released for roughly a year now.

Dong Bang Shin Ki Single - Begin

March 21, 2007 Begin - A Touching SingleBegin is one of my favorite songs from DBSK. Their genuine and powerful vocals are nicely shown in this song. The song is very heartwarming and tender with the touching lyrics. JaeJoong really brings out the feelings to this song. I love it!

The album includes several of DBSK's previous singles and some new songs. All the songs are great with DBSK's amazing vocals. I love the album cover they all look very charming. Even though it's a bit pricey it's definitely worth the money. I love the music videos in the dvd. It looks much better than watching it off youtube. Please support DBSK and purchase this album!
