Prisoner of Love (SINGLE+DVD)(Japan Version)
Prisoner of Love (SINGLE+DVD)(Japan Version) DVD Region All
(4)Our Price: US$19.49Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:June 5, 2008 Believe me, it'll grow on you.The first time I heard this everyone else seemed to have heard it before me, and were all raving about it. So I stuck it on my iPod, determined to give it a few good listens. After the 3rd one I was totally and utterly hooked. Theres something about it... her voice, the melody, the lyrics... I'm just not sure.
It makes you want to sing along, and theres a beat in the chorus that is just amazingly relaxing. Due to its exposure on Last Friends (Japanese drama ~ check it out =D), it also makes me think of sad things but positive things.. its a very mixed bag of feelings I get when I hear it.
I love this, its now one of my favourite Hikki songs.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
The Eye (Limited Deluxe Version)
The Eye (Limited Deluxe Version) DVD Region All
(18)Our Price: US$22.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:May 19, 2008 Scary Stuff.I finally decided to watch this after hearing there would be a Hollywood remake starring Jessica Alba (which is good too!).
Any sort of Chinese language is Greek to me, (Japanese is my language) and for some reason it made it that bit more interesting. This is the first non-Japanese horror I've ever watched and I was blown away. Of course, those who know Asian horror will be aware that little cultural things will make it that bit more scarier, like Ringu for example. I enjoyed the film, but it didn't scare me at all. However, my native Japanese friends have told me that they couldn't even watch it at some parts. I will admit to being a bit wary that I wouldn't be as scared because I didn't know the cultural folk stories that some towns and races have been raised with.
Alas, this film freaked me out to the core. Even the opening credits, with the hands scratching and grabbing the white sheet was spine tingling. The plot itself is actually quite a sad story but nonetheless scary! Very scary! Alot of parts are "blink-and-you'll-miss-it", but these are what make The Eye special. Its like "Was I supposed to see that?! Is that actually THERE?!" This film is very good. Directing, actors and story.
For some top class Asian horror, I recommend The Eye.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Don't you ever stop (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)
Don't you ever stop (Normal Edition)(Japan Version)
(1)Our Price: US$7.99Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:May 18, 2008 I'll only review...... the actual single, but the solos are very very good too. I advise you to check them out :).
Anyway, the track opens with spooky sounding voices and an electronic beat, all of a sudden, we hear a glass break and guitars kick in. Jin's voice is first, then Kame's and the rest of the group come in for a lead up to the chorus.
The chorus is amazingly catchy. You just want to shout "DONT U EVER STOP!" along with them, and do some sort of dancing foot movement thing xD. It sounds like an early Michael Jackson song, ideal for dancing. The next verse is heard, and another round of catchy chorus before the short intstrumental. We hear the guys say things like "Guitar!" and Nakamaru's beatboxing. Jin also gives his two cents with a "Hell Yeah" that will be remembered for many more moons =P. Koki's rap is excellent, just typical Koki really which is always good :D!
This single is very very good, and even if you are not a KAT-TUN fan you will find it hard not to be humming it after hearing :).Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(3)Our Price: US$35.49Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:May 1, 2008 Well done Maki-chan.Personally (and I don't know why), I didn't think I would enjoy this CD. It only had 10 tracks and I wasn't impressed with Goto's image in the media at that time. I know that I shouldn't judge her music by that... but gah, I couldn't help myself.
Soo I bought this NOT with high hopes. I liked Some Boys! Touch and Glass no Pumps, so I knew I would at least enjoy those two. Oh, and Secret as well. I gave it a first listen when my friend was over (she isn't into Asian music) and the first thing she said was "Oh my god, that sounds like Nelly Furtado or Justin Timberlake!". I started to agree, and was sort of almost bowled-over at how different Maki-chan sounded. A good different though! A very very good different.
Good album, worth the price even though it has only 10 tracks (which by the way for those who dont know, is quite rare for a Hello! Project release. Usually they have 11 - 15 tracks) but is full of modern, dancey and slow songs. Very good indeed.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

(2)Our Price: US$13.49Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:April 25, 2008 So good.I agree with the previous reviewer, one of the best Morning Musume singles ever!
It has a good catchy , rock&roll sounding beat, it's a real song with a message. The live performances of this song are also amazing. When I listen to it, it just puts a big smile on my face.
Happy, cute song. Just makes me want to jump about :D.
I dunno why I am reviewing all these old items.. makes me feel nostalgic I guess =P.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(2)Our Price: US$203.75Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:April 24, 2008 Good series.. bad price =|.!!I first saw this when it was just coming out (the DVD I mean) and I really really liked the series. It has my 2 favourite KAT-TUN members and Minami, my favourite actress. So yeah, I was expecting good things. And good things I got :D! I enjoyed every episode, laughed, cried (okay, I'm super soft xD) and it was just very good.
Soo I thought, I must buy this! Its my birthday next month and it was going to be a present. It was £85.03! Expensive stuff. BUT. I begged. So I checked back next day, it was now £85.93! I started to get a little suspicious. So I come here today to actually buy the thing, and realise it is now £92.99!! I'm buying it from somewhere else. I suggest you do too.
Good series, dodgy price :(.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(4)Our Price: US$34.25Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:April 17, 2008 I forgot I had this CD xD.Yay MoMusu! I love this CD.
One of their best albums (4th Ikimasshoi wins it for me ^^). I found this when I was clearing under my bed, I thought I had lost it! So I had another listen, and it's still great.
Filled with uplifting and feel-good songs. True Morning Musume style!
But.. don't stop listening after the first few songs like I did! (Mistake ¬¬). The album gets better and better and like myself you will find yourself humming all the songs :). I honestly advise you to buy this if you havent even though its fairly old now, its still great music :D.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Resonant Blue (SINGLE+DVD)(First Press Limited Edition A)(Japan Version)
Resonant Blue (SINGLE+DVD)(First Press Limited Edition A)(Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(3)Our Price: US$20.75Related promotions:March 30, 2008 A Nice Change.I loved Mikan. Alot. But it felt like it didn't have the "edge" to climb to the charts and impress Japan's youth nowadays. If thats what the music was like in the UK where I lived, I wouldn't buy it.
Upon first hearing of Resonant Blue, it struck a few fine chords with me. Good, strong vocals (albeit the same 2 people, but thats another story) and a catchy hook. I could tell the more I listened to it, the more I would like it. A satisfying offering from the Hello! Project's flagship group.
A much more grown up sound, that will appeal to more generations therefore hopefully pushing it up the Oricon weekly to a Number 1. Seriously, if you buy this you will not be disappointed.
It's just pure, good, pop.

I think people who have given it a bad review are just too surprised by Hikki's talent. This is an amazing album. The standout tracks for me are Keep Tryin', Nichiyou No Asa and Be My Last. I love this album, and I hope that alot of other people feel the same way I do about it. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

April 3, 2006 *~^Great!^~*This is the great MoMusu album ^^ Really good. The only let down is : Sayounara See You Again Adios ByeBye Cha Cha. I didnt like that song very much. The highlights for me were: The Manpower!!! and Osaka Koi No Uta, they were great, Well at least I thought they were. Probably give the whole thing 9 out of 10! A great buy.
