(7)Our Price: US$32.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:September 20, 2006 Must buy!If you haven't bought all of the 12 singles, then you should definitely buy this! Or, you should just buy it for "Love goes like..." because it's definitely worth it!
Track overview:
Introduction to the second session - A short clip of "Get It On", which wasn't on the album.
D.D.D. - Catchy, Lady Marmalade-ish.
you - A very lovely ballad. Sad, but all the same lovely.
Candy feat. Mr. Blistah - Very catchy, arabian track.
Shake It Up - Not my favorite track, but nice still.
feel - A nice, jazz-like track.
WIND - It's an OK song, not great though. Still nice to have on the album. I've listened to it a fair amount of times.
Love goes like... - Definitely my favorite track from the album! Hip-hopish, and very very catchy.
No regret - A nice pop song, with a bit of techo-sounds to it.
Birthday Eve - A very girly, poppy song. I think it could have, maybe, been replaced.
Lies - Very nice song. A great touch to the rest of the album.
Ima Sugu Hoshii - I guess a lot of people don't like this song, but I like it during certain moods.
KAMEN feat. Testuya Ishii - A very lovely ballad. Wonderful arrangement, and Testuya Ishii's vocals to add to it is a nice touch.
Someday - A nice ending track. Touching, in a way.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

September 20, 2006 GoodThis is the first Namie album I bought, and I'm impressed. I don't wholly love it, probably because I'm not really into Hiphop, but I like it with Namie. Like "No" and "Alarm".
Track overview:
Queen of Hip-pop - Good track to start out the album. Very catchy, too.
WANT ME, WANT ME - I love this song! It's one of the main reasons I bought this album.
WoWa - When I first heard this song, I didn't really like it, but it's grown on me quite a bit. It's catchy, and fun.
I Wanna Show You My Love - It's a good track. I'm glad Namie dedicated this to her fans.
Free - A very hip-hopish track. I like it, though. Very catchy.
My Darling - The rapper in this could definitely go. It gets annoying after a while, but Namie's parts are great [glad she takes the majority of the track].
Ups&Downs - Very nice ballad. Cute, but not too cute, and very catchy. The collaboration with Nao'ymt is a nice touch.
I Love You - This is an OK track, but not wholly wonderful.
All For You - Very impressive. Namie's vocals are gorgeous, and the arrangement is lovely. A very nice touch to the album.
Alarm - Extremely catchy. I have this song stuck in my head all the time!
No - No doubt my favorite track off the album, next to WANT ME, WANT ME.
secret track - Nice, short, and sweet.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(3)Our Price: US$33.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:September 20, 2006 Not your typical JpopI'm glad. It has the "NOIR" sound to it, and it's very refreshing.
Track overview:
I'm here - A lovely sound. The vocals are absolutely perfect.
Destination - A great rock-ish sounding track. It's a good, upbeat lead-up of I'm here.
Nowhere - Very nice. Some older Japanese instruments, but upbeat.
Akatsuki no Kuruma - Has to be my favorite track off the album. It starts up slow, but then becomes fast. I love the vocals, as well.
Dare mo inai basho - A very nice, slow song. Lovely piano and vocals.
Seiya - I've never been one for Christmas Songs, at least not out of the season. I suppose I'll have to listen to this song in December to appreciate it...
Shizukana Kotoba - It's an OK song, but not completely wonderful. It has a cool sound to it, but I think they could've added something.
Futari - I love this song to death! It's mainly piano [if not ALL piano], and is short and sweet. I'm kind of upset it's so short, actually, but I love it all the same. Wonderful vocals as well. My favorite track next to Akatsuki no Kuruma.
Hitomi no Kakera - I love the sound of this song. It's instruments are very fun to listen to. The arrangement is wonderful.
nostalgia - This has older Japanese instruments, and is a very nice slow song.
Inside Your Heart - I rarely listen to this. It's not exactly my favorite song, but it's worth listening to.

September 20, 2006 Very catchy! Must buy!
Like my title says, you must buy this album! I love it, probably more than MY STORY [though I think MY STORY has more meaning to it.]
The tracks are catchy and the album has a good set of lyrics.
Track overview:
Bold&Delicious - A lot of people don't like this song, but I love it a lot. It always puts me in a good mood.
STEP you - A great pop song. You must hear it if you haven't all ready. It was the highest selling single from the (miss)understood album.
Ladies Night - LOVE this song. The new rock version on the BLUE BIRD single is equally awesome. Very catchy.
is this LOVE? - A dramatic rock song. I love it to bits.
(miss)understood - Not nearly as good as is this LOVE?, but still a great rock song, I just don't think it's as catchy as the other tracks on the album.
alterna - This is a great pop-rock[ish] song. It fits perfectly after the (miss)understood track.
In The Corner - A nice r&b-ish track. Wonderful arrangement, and I love the lyrics.
Tasking - This is just an interlude, but I love it like I would love any other track on this album.
Criminal - A darker, dramatic rock song. Puts me in a bad mood, but I love it all the same.
Pride - This has got to be my favorite slow-song from the album. The choir adds a nice touch, and the arrangement is wonderful.
Will - It has older Japanese instruments in it, which is lovely. It's a nice song to sing a long to.
HEAVEN - A wholly wonderfull ballad. The album just wouldn't be complete without it.
Are You Wake Up? - Another interlude. I don't like it as much as Tasking, but it's good still.
fairyland - A great summer song. Very nostalgic with the lyrics, and I enjoy the music.
Beautiful Days - I like the 80-ish feel to this. It's a touching song, also.
rainy day - Very nice and calming. A good song to end a wonderful album.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
September 20, 2006 Definitely worth buying
I don't think this album is wholly wonderful album, but is has plenty of great tracks that make it worth buying.
Track overview:
Catcher in the light - A great, rock intro.
About You - A indie-rock song. Definitely cathcy, I love it.
GAME - I love this song. It's a great rock track. Very dramatic.
my name's WOMEN - A completely awesome pop track.
WONDERLAND - A very creepy interlude...
Liar - An OK indie-ish track. At first, I liked it a lot, but then I felt it was boring after a while.
HOPE or PAIN - I love this song, just like I love GAME. I'm not sure which category to put it under, all I can say is I love it to bits.
HAPPY ENDING - A nice ballad. The lyrics are quite sad. It has a different, very lovely feel to it.
Moments - A great, indie-like song. It's not upbeat like About You, but a lovely ballad.
walking proud - This kind of reminds me of HOPE or PAIN, but they are really, very different. I love it just like I love HOPE or PAIN, though.
CAROLS - An absolutely lovely ballad. I fell in love with it the moment I heard it, and I still love it after hearing it for a year.
Kaleidoscope - A nice interlude.
INSPIRE - An upbeat pop song. I love it. Very fun.
HONEY - I don't really like this song. It's very poppy, but I do like the instrumental part. Other than that, though, I think it could've been replaced with something better.
Replace - A catchy, very poppy song. A little bit like HONEY, but I like this more.
winding road - At first I didn't like this song at all, but it's grown on me a little.
Humming 7/4 - A good, happy ending, rockish song.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

September 20, 2006 Great!I fell in love with this album the moment I first listened to it.
My overview of the songs:
Pretty Queen - A catchy, pop/rock song. I think anyone would fall in love with it.
Movie Star - I've listened to this song multiple times, but still don't love it completely. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it.
Find me - A great rock song, and a good follow-up to the poppier Pretty Queen.
Love Land - At first, I didn't like this song at all, but now I'm very fond of it.
Keep Giving - I love this song. It's a great, euro-like ballad.
Watashi no Uta - This has got to be my favorite rock song off this album. It's dramatic, and sometimes puts me in a bad mood, but I love it wolly.
KUCHI ~I love your mouth~ - A great, euro-like, rockish song.
My name is Megu - I see no point in this...thing. It's not a song, just some guy talking in a distorted voice. I think they could have filled this spot with an actual SONG, rather than whatever this is.
24/7 - This kind of reminds me of KUCHI ~ILYM~, but is very different, actually. It's the same euro-like, rock sound, but is very different. It's hard to explain. A great track.
DNA - This is a very slow song, with an 80's sound to it, and I love it to death. It's wonderful.
Rain - A nice, calm, ending track. No words, so I think they could've replaced it but I like it anwyay.

September 20, 2006 Awesome!This Ku album has a perfect combination of pop and hip-hop/r&b.
Cutie Honey - not my favorite track, but a nice pop song.
Hot Stuff [feat. KM-MARKIT] - At first I didn't like this song, but it's grown on me a lot.
Selfish - A great rock song. I love Ku's strong vocals.
Hands - A lovely ballad, sometimes will set me in a sad mood but lovely none-the-less.
Hearty - I don't really like this song. It has a cutesy, high-school girl in love feel to it and I just don't like it. However, you might.
Shake it - A sexy, arabian track.
Kiseki - A nice ballad. I don't think it's nearly as nice as Hands, but it's still good.
Trust you - I love this song. It's hip-hop/r&b, and has a nice beat. At first, I thought it was like Shake it but now I see it's very different.
Chase - A good pop song. It's cute, but not overly.
LOVEHOLIC - I liked this song a lot when I first heard it, but now I'm not wholly in love with it. I still enjoy it though.
24 - This is a nice ballad. It has a lot of Engrish in it, but to me it's still relaxing, and lovely.
Let's party - I find absolutely no point in this song. It's a little catchy [during the chorus] but otherwise I don't think there's enough of a beat, and it could've been replaced with a better song.
Believe - I love this song to bits. It's simple, with mostly guitar, and strong, raspy vocals from Ku.
Through the sky - This is a good ending song, to wrap up the album. It has an inspirational feel to it, and I like that.
So, all in all, I'd give it an 8. It has a few tracks I don't like, but all together I think the album is awesome and definitely worth buying.

September 10, 2005 Pretty good, but not her best
I think Ayu can do much better. I do like "Real me", "WE WISH", "HANABI", and more but songs like "Free&Easy" and "everywhere nowhere" aren't really listening to. This is a pretty good album, but she has better. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
September 10, 2005 Very nicely done
I think this album is much better than LOVEppears. It is not her best but it is definitely worth buying. Some nice tracks, in my opionion are, "SURREAL", "SEASONS", "Duty", and "End of the World". Some not-so-good tracks [once again, in my opinion] are, "AUDIENCE" and "Vogue". It is worth buying though. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(24)Our Price: US$17.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:September 10, 2005 So-soThis is another very nicely made Ayu album but I'm not a fan of the pop-ish songs such as "Angel's Song" and "Greatful days". I'm a big fan of "Ourselves" and "forgiveness" so as a result I think that Ayu can do better but this isn't horrible. The videos are awesome as well. Did you find this review helpful?
