WOW... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is an amazing CD by an amazing singer/songwriter (Aya wrote almost all the tracks and also produced the release herself...). I was not expecting something so extraordinary from a singer I'd never heard before (although, now I am going back and buying her two previous mini-albums that are available...I urge others to do the same, because once you listen to this artist you will never be able to get enough). Aya reminds me vocally (and on most songs...musically also...) of Western singers Ashlee Simpson and Gretchen Wilson with her distinctive gutteral sound as she really growls out the songs. It's easy to see she's passionate about her singing. On one or two tracks that are a bit more mellow (but still definitely rock songs...) she even sounds a bit like Nakamori BAND and Ai Takaoka. For those who listen to music from Canada, Aya also has several songs that remind me of the songs by Marie Mai on her debut French-language CD.

As of the time I write this review, there is no track listing, so I will list them as best I am able... #1 Communication Break #2 Pierrot #3 in japanese #4 Secret Code #5 Bounce Bounce Bounce #6 in japanese #7 in japanese #8 I Sing This Song For You #9 in japanese #10 Believe in You #11 Can't Stop Falling in Love #12 Changing the World #13 in japanese.

While I love each song on this CD (the only song that didn't totally blow me away with it's perfection was track #6...it is rock, but had some hip-hop type scratching sound effects that I felt were a little out of place...), my favorites would have to be tracks #7, #9 and #12 for Top Three.

If you like great and grinding rock sung by a true and unique talent...you will adore Aya Kamiki. I've left her CD in my CD player from the moment it arrived and I doubt it will leave anytime soon (at least not until her 2 mini-albums "Constellation" and "Rock On" arrive...). I highly recommend this to those who enjoy Younha (or Yunna...), Nakamori BAND, Rie Fu, Ai Takaoka, Core of Soul, Yui and others with a rock edge to their pop. Aya is more gritty than the singers I just listed, but at least that will help people know potentially what fan base her music and awesome vocals will probably appeal to. I know I am a fan of all those singers, and especially now of Aya Kamiki. She really is a brand-new favorite of mine, and I hope others will soon be buying her CD and saying the same wonderful things. Truly, this is an exceptional release of exquisitely produced, written and sung songs.
