The Ghost (AKA: Dead Friend) (Hong Kong Version)
The Ghost (AKA: Dead Friend) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3
(4)Our Price: US$10.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:March 18, 2008 One of the best Asian HorrorThis was hands down one of the best Asian Horror movies I've seen in a long time. I also can't believe I got this one for free just by ordering a bunch of HK DVDs from yesasia! Even so, now knowing how good this movie was, I would have paid full price for it. The plot actually made a lot of sense versus a lot of those other Asian horror movies where you have no idea what happened at the end. There's also a really nice love story mixed into this movie. But don't get me wrong, it was filled with all sorts of creepy moments enough to satify my horror movie cravings. I can't believe this movie hasn't had more buzz around it from those who like Asian horror. There are a couple parts that resemble The Ring, but the plot is pretty original and throughly refreshing. I highly recommend this movie! You won't be disappointed!

STEP you / is this LOVE? (CD+DVD)(Japan Version)
STEP you / is this LOVE? (CD+DVD)(Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(80)Our Price: US$25.75Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:April 9, 2005 THE Queen of Jpop!Undoubtedly, if Ayu can get so many reviews on this single (which hasn't even come out at the time I write this), it just goes to show how powerful and popular Ayu is amongst the world today. Whether you are a huge fan or not, you can't dismiss the immense IMPACT she has made on the Japanese music scene. The haters and the rumor mills will say whatever they want about her, but she's still in the LIMELIGHT and she's still going on STRONG.
This latest single not only has a great song STEP you, but it comes with 3 NEW PVs on DVD! How can you beat that? I don't know any artist who works harder than Ayu at producing brilliant music and eye candy to go with it than her. You can really see how much effort she puts into her work to really make her new releases like gifts to her fans.
Regarding Ayu's vocals, people either love them or hate them, but I challenge anyone to listen to her first album and then listen to "MY STORY" and not say her voice has improved remarkably. I mean just think how much voice training she had to go through! Anyone who honestly thinks Ayu is just some cash cow should really think about just how much hard work and effort she puts into her songs, vocals, and image. She is the real deal folks!

February 20, 2005 It wasn't scary...
If you really like suspense or horror movies, this movie isn't for you. It is eerie in some parts, but otherwise isn't scary at all. I bought this based on the reviews in addtion to it being listed amongst some of my other favorite Asian Suspense/Horror movies, but I was quite let down. However, in terms of cinematography and acting, this movie was quite well done.

Route 246 (CD Single + DVD) (First Limited Edition) (Japan Version)
Route 246 (CD Single + DVD) (First Limited Edition) (Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(4)Our Price: US$17.99Related promotions:June 11, 2002 A fun happy song with a cute wacky videoFirst of all, I think the previous reviews about this song are way off the mark. The song has a very 1960's Austin Powers-ish, mod, go go dancing sound to it. (NOT 1950's at all) If you are a fan of the Pizzicato Five, I think you will enjoy the overall groovy feeling of this song. Granted Kyoko's voice isn't the best in the world, (but it's a lot better than some other so-called artists out there) and the groovy, fun happy summer feeling this song gives is well worth it. The DVD with the video is definitely worth it. The video itself is hysterical. Kyoko has two "Mini Me" type girls dressed just like her and doing the same things as her. (The fatty little girl makes me laugh so much). And Kyoko looks extremely beautiful in this video. Very happy, fresh, and summery looking. Contrary to what people say about her weight, I think Kyoko looks just right. Not like a skeleton like other asian girls. (She doesn't look so good with the white hair like on the cover) but I suppose that goes with the whole "MOD" thing she is pulling off with this video. If anything just watch the video to see the funny little girl and all the cool retro 1960's references. Overall I would say this is a good purchase if you need a bit of fun and humor in your life. Kyoko really put a lot of thought and humor into such a groovy song that I could never get tired of listening to this or watching the video. Did I mention the little fatty girl dressed up like Kyoko is HYSTERICAL???

affection (Japan Version)
April 16, 2002 It's really good!Koda Kumi's album is really great! I really love her voice, it reminds me of Namie Amuro. I highly recommend the "Till Morning Comes" track with VERBAL from m-flo. The one downside you should know is that this is an AVEX PROTECTED cd. (it was not mentioned anywhere when I ordered it). So I sort of have trouble playing it on my computer. But then again, if you really like Koda Kumi, you'll support her and buy her album and cd singles no matter what!
