April 10, 2002 Great song!
This is the first song from Hikaru that I wanna get, and I like it a lot! Her voice is very pretty, even if it could be a little more smoother i think. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Cyber TRANCE presents ELT TRANCE (Overseas Version)
March 19, 2002 Some good ones and some not so great onesIt isn't as good as the Ayu Trance CD, since there are more mediocre/bad remixes on this CD, but there are still many good ones as well. My favorites were the Dirt Devils vs Above and Beyond remix of Face the Change and the Ferry Corsten remix of For the Moment. Kaori's vocals were really nice throughout all of the remixes, especially in the Darren Tate mix and the Chris Coco mix. Strangely, her singing was very bad/off tune in the song remixed by Vincent de Moor, which basically ruins the track. But still, there are lots of good/great tunes here and its worth checking out if u like trance and jpop/ELT. o yeah, Avex really SHOULD start releasing trance remix albums with the FULL versions.

March 8, 2002 Cool remixes!
There's lots of good remixes on this single including the title song! I thought Hal's mix 2002 was a little boring, but still pretty. Some really cool and original remixes on this CD, like 83 Key's trance/breakbeat remix and ram's housey remix! Nicely nice, Laugh & Peace, and Hugh all did good jobs too, making the songs fun to listen to again! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Hyper Techno Mix Revolution III - Trance VS Hard Core Techno - (Overseas Version)
(4)Our Price: US$19.99Usually ships within 7 daysRelated promotions:February 2, 2002 Some good remixes, some bad remixesAlthough I've never really listened to Move's stuff before, I got this mainly to see how the trance remixes would be handled by the japanese producers, since I'm a fan of trance music which comes from European producers for the most part. I was impressed w/ the instrumentation for some of the remixes like the heavenly strings in the 83 Key's remix or T. Kimura's remixes(!!) WOW! After listening to his remixes I think he should start producing more trance music cause he's really got lots of talent and potential in that area. Even though the rapping kind of prevents most of these remixes from being considered "serious" trance music, they're still pretty good if u take them for what they are. The second cd, however, has remixes that are less desirable, for the most part, again, because there's so much more rapping from that guy. Also, some of these remixes are pretty bad. But, again, if u don't take these hyper-Euro-techno, speedy, rap-filled songs too seriously, some of them are actually very fun, like Fly Me So High remixed by NIKI, or Words of the Mind mixed by D-Z. Silent White which was remixed by the rapper guy is actually a very good slower euro song (my favorite on the second cd.) At first, I was kind of mortified when I first listened to these songs, Probably cause they're so different from the type of stuff I usually listen to. But After listening for a second time, I realize that there is a good amount of enjoyable remixes/songs on these CDs. So I guess now u can kinda call me a Move fan. ;) Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Yourself (Japan Version)
February 2, 2002 Alright singleThe song's not bad (but isn't spectacular either), and the girls' voices sound pretty good, better than in earlier songs. The remixes by Warp Brothers and Flutlicht are pretty cool, even if they are typical for trance/hard trance tracks. I wish there were a few more remixes or tracks on the single though. In other words, if u miss this, u won't be missing out on anything special. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Cyber Trance Presents Ayu Trance (Overseas Version)
October 31, 2001 GREAT CD!!!If you like Ayumi and good dance music, this cd is a must! I think trance is a great path for Ayumi to follow with its awesome build ups, groovin beats, emotional melodies. It really complements her songs well. The Above and Beyond mix is amazing (what would u expect after the great Madonna remix.) The Armin van Buuren Appears is done very right, even after all those other remixes. PUSH transforms Boys and Girls into a very cool/epic trance song. so many other great mixes too! Now I want these on vinyl! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)

October 1, 2001 nice song, nice remixes
The song's kinda nice in a soft, sentimental way. I actually enjoyed all of the remixes in some way. My favorites were the "energized" mix (nicely done trance), "laugh and peace" mix (cool video game-sounding techno style), "fresh energy" mix (don't know how to describe this, but it's pretty groovin and jazzy), and the acoustic piano remix. The piano mix is very peaceful and nice to listen to, and it features vocals from Ayumi that are different from the ones in the original mix. IMO she sounds a lot better and more careful in this piano mix. A pretty fun single. :P Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
September 7, 2001 didn't do too much for me
I think Ayumi could definitely benefit a good deal from improving her vocals. there are some times when her vibrato seems kind of forced... imo it seemed like her voice was smoother in her loveppears' songs. as for the song itself, the chorus was too cliched. the "vogue" remix was pretty cool with its 2-stepish beat, and the nicely nice mix was pretty fun too. the rest was kind of average.
