January 21, 2009 Still sounds the same..Objectively speaking, Hacken hasn't made a lot of progression. His albums sound somewhat the same and his vocal chops rarely wander outside his small box of tricks. With many up and coming singers who can compose, perform and sing their hearts out, he seems old and dated. Other singers like Eason, Faye Wong or even more recently Janice has been able to reivent themselves with each album, but Hacken is succintly put, quite dull. Did you find this review helpful?

November 24, 2008 Mouthwatering...
After a huge long wait, I , too, agree this is the most anticipated album of 2008. Janice's last album was a stellar success, and with the best voice in the HK music scene, the wait has been gruesome for this album. She's had a bunch of #1 hits throughout the year during this long wait, but thankfully the album is going to be out soon.
Janice's voice is really golden. If this album is like any of her previous albums, it should be one of those albums that the radio DJs state over and over again that they could listen to from beginning to end without skipping a track. It's been a long time waiting, but the wait should be well worth it.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Do U Know (CD+DVD)
December 26, 2007 GOLDEN.This album was my most listened to album of 2007.
Definitely the best female singer to emerge on the scene since Faye Wong. Hopefully she will continue to shine and not disappoint. "Queen" Status is within reach if she steers her career in the right direction.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
September 17, 2006 Piano-POP @ It's Best.
Pong Nan has to be arguably the most under-rated Male Singer in Hong Kong of the new century. His 3rd album continues to be as addictive and likeable as his previous 2 albums; but now thrown in is not just only his trademark tinkering piano gymnastics, but also a mix of electronica and sophistication. All the songs are composed and accompanied by Pong Nan's piano instrumentals in the usual Pong Nan fashion. Melodies are very heavily emphasized (as opposed to beats) in this album; and maybe one day he'll be recognized for the talent his is, but for now he has a deserving hardcore underground fan-base that appreciates his music.

NICE. (Japan Version)
February 17, 2003 Puffy- Critically Acclaimed DuoPuffy's American style rock with a Japanese twist has reached new heights this past year. This album is jam-packed with tunes that will make your toes in your shoes twitch with the beat. After making a very successful debut in the U.S., their fanbase has slowly spread from Japan to over here in the U.S., where us foreigners are getting hooked to these two girls. They're so good that even if you don't understand a thing about what they're singing, you'll still find yourself humming along. Definitely an album worth buying.. a hidden gem that people will slowly, but surely discover!! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Process (Japan Version)

March 4, 2002 A Hidden GemDream really is a hidden gem. Their music is so unbelievably fun to listen to. They're finally getting some recognition because this album exploded on to the oricon charts at no.8, their best record yet. This is definitely a good sign because it means people are starting to pay attention to them. Dream is really a mix of trance/dance/j-pop. What I find amazing about this album is that there are so many great tracks packed into it. I even loved the prologue- go figure. From experience I can say that people who like listening to Namie Amuro, ELT, and Ayumi Hamasaki's 1st two albums (but not her most recent one) will probably like Dream and this album. However, "process" is a very mainstream album. I don't think it was designed to be alternative. SO if you like Utada Hikaru, Misia or those type of singers.. Dream isn't really for you. It's really for those of us who like fast very rhythm-ish music. All in all, I really like this album, but it really isn't for everyone. I love all the singles solve, yourself, our time, get over, stay.. and many of the others.. as I said above.. I even love the prologue! lol..Too bad not too many people outside of Japan know who Dream is.. but I think they're worth a try for people who've never heard of them before. (And thank god they're doing better than Earth.. earth just isn't as great). Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
I am... (Japan Version)
I am... (Japan Version)
(48)Our Price: US$37.25Usually ships within 1 to 2 daysRelated promotions:February 18, 2002 "A" for Effort, "C" for Actual Grade.I've followed Ayumi Hamasaki since her first album, and her music style has really flipped 180 degrees. In her first two albums, she had just the right amount of J-pop, dance and ballads.. but this new album is really something else. In terms of # of singles.. in this album.. it's worth your money.. but truthfully the songs really aren't that great! It's not really her singing that's the problem.. but the songs. They're just not catchy enough. Yes.. creative, but not nice to the ears. I must commend her efforts for writing her own songs, but really , I think Ayumi should leave the song composing to the professionals. I actually do not really recommend buying this CD. However, there are some good songs.. such as "Endless Sorrow" and "M", but this album lacks one big hit that makes it worthwhile. If you have the money.. I recommend getting Namie Amuro's new single "I Will" or Dream's new album.. Hopefully Ayumi's next album will be funner to listen to. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

It matches laughter w/ great artwork and a stunningly addictive storyline. Every issue has tons of new characters and the character development is top-notch. I highly recommend getting this comic, starting with Issue #1. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
June 18, 2001 Crystal Clear Voice.
Grace has such a clear and strong voice! She really does sing better than Joey even though Joey sings well too. This CD in terms of singing quality is definity a 10. However, it's obvious that "Emperor Records" has put her in the low budget category because the packaging is poor with only 4 pictures, the cover, and the lyrics all smooshed all to 4 cardboards. I don't know how long Grace's contract with Emperor is, but if I were her, I would try to switch companies before it's too late. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Dear... (Japan Ver.)
May 25, 2001 Better Than SpeedI really don't know what some of the previous writers were thinking, but I'm beginning to think they were all written from the same person. Anywayz, I didn't even know who dream was until I picked up Euro Dream and a compilation that included I believe. Their talent was shocking. I swear to you, Dream sings 20 times better than Speed and has some of the best songs out there, including Private Wars, I Believe and Night of Fire. I don't know about Japan, but in Hong Kong, Dream has already been praised by music critics everywhere. Plus, to boot, they were chosen in a singing competition and so aren't just "pretty faces". (Personally I don't think they're pretty anyway) Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

February 28, 2001 Songs 1,2,3, and 5 are REALLY good.
I personally like song no.5, even though it wasn't as successful on the charts as song no.1 ! But the whole CD's really good. 2songs have already been plugged, and at least a total of 4 songs will be plugged! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
February 23, 2001 It's Been One Long Year!
It's been one long year since Grace has had a new album! I've waited so long! This probably has to be her best album yet! the first track 二人默劇 has already hit the no. 1 spot in a few charts!There is no doubt that 二人默劇 is her best song yet. I haven't heard her duet with Nicholas, but I'm sure it's great! Buy this CD if you want a refreshing change. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
