November 3, 2007 Jay Chou is Back!!!After his 2006 release Still Fantasy which sold over 3 million copies across Asia, Jay is back again with a brand new album On The Run. The album contains something new that Jay never tried before, Country Style. The Cowboy on The Run, the country track off the album is more of an silly funny song. Its a type of song you have to keep on listening to like. The album of course contain Jay's famous ballads and him combining western beats with old chinese instruments. Rainbow is a really nice and slow ballad. The third track Blue and White is my favorite out of the whole album. It has that magic feel to it. It's definitely the best song out of the whole album.
Jay has improved so much and there is actually change in his music. I love the album its really good. It's a must buy album.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

October 12, 2007 Agent J is Back!One of the most anticipated albums of the year was a little bit of a let down for me. The album was good but it wasn't better than her previous album, "Dancing Diva".
The album title single "Agent J" was something new and fresh, very upbeat. I give her major props for learning pole dancing and aerial ribbon dancing to create a beautiful music video for "Agent J". She almost paralysed her right arm due to 10 days on intense training for her dance moves and almost fainted during the filming process.
Other than the song "Agent J" there were many other upbeat tracks like "Bravo Lover" and "Tacit Violence". Her ballad songs have improved tremendously, they are less boring. The songs in the album isn't as good as I expected it to be. Though the album was good the songs didn't really contain that "thing" like how it did for her previous album "Dancing Diva".
The songs are really addictive and really upbeat. She improved a lot on her ballads. It's a well made album but not as well as her previous works.
The album took more than $1,500,000 to produce, seemed less since her previous works were better. All you fangirls & fanboys can say this review wasn't helpful but you know you can't hide the truth. Dancing Diva was wayyyy better.
THIS IS STILL A MUST BUY ALBUM THOUGH!! BUY IT NOW!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 22, 2007 Namie's Playful AlbumFirst of all I can fully can't review this album since I've only heard of seven full tracks total from "Play" which are Hide&Seek, Pink Key, Funky Town, Baby Don't Cry, Hello, Can't Sleep, Can't Eat, I'm Sick, and Violet Sauce. The others I've heard 30 sec worth of the track and it seems like a outstanding album overall.
"Can't Sleep, Can't Eat, Im Sick" is a great dance song, It debuted at number two in the Oricon Weekly Charts. The song is really a good song.
"Funky Town" is a track which mixes pop (or was it Hip-Hop) and disco together and its sounds really nice
"Violet Sauce" was a song released to support her single "White Light", the song is really catchy.
"Baby Don't Cry" is a really upbeat and cheerful song. It became her highest selling single in years selling over 100,000.
"Hide & Seek" is a reallllly playful song and the beat is catchy
"Hello" is more of a girl song but the beat and the rhythm of the song is really good.
"Pink Key" is a song I actually didn't like in the beginning but it grows on you.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 20, 2007 Ayumi = Perfectunlike a best 2 white. a best 2 black holds all the sad songs. both albums (best 2 white & black) feature songs between the release of evolution and bold & delicious/pride. the album also has a secret track which is after part of me. the album also contains her documentary about her concert "best of countdown live 2006-2007" it shows her just how much she does just to put a great show for her. you can see this concert on the other album "A BEST TWO -white-". the two albums setted a record of the only artist to occupy the top two positions on the united world charts. what more can i say but buy this album and a best 1 -white- its really worth the price considering how much you get in both albums.

May 20, 2007 A YU READY?!Ayumi Hamasaki's 8th full length studio album "Secret" is extremely well produced album. It has received "Album of the Year Award" at the Japan Gold Disc Awards and her title track received an award for "Japanese Song Of The Year" at the RTHK international awards in Hong Kong. The album topped the Oricon Daily and weekly charts and landed on number 2 on the Monthly Chart All the songs are writtened by Ayumi once again. The album has really upbeat songs like "Blue Bird" which became her 15th consecutive number one hit and "Born To Be..." and some slow ballads like "Jewel" the MV cost over 100 Million Yen which is about $1 million USD. The album is a really outstanding album & you don't even need to touch your skip button, if you understand the lyrics you'd know how uplifting and sad the lyrics are. My top three favorites are Momentum which talks about a girl who believes the last miracle of her life was loving her ex-lover, Jewel which talks about her asking her love to come back to her to be her precious jewel again, and blue bird a song thats basically a summer song and its a song praising women.

(5)Our Price: US$21.49Related promotions:May 20, 2007 PLAY!!!the lastest album from S.H.E, Play is a really good album. 中國話 was a great song to start the album really upbeat and their rhymes are really good. S.H.E finally produced two pieces for this album which I'm glad they did, which was 老婆 & 說你愛我 and I thought they did a really good job. 藉口 samples jay chou's songs like jay chou's line from "listen to mothers words" but they changed it into "ting ma ma de hua bie rang WO shou shang" 藉口 is one of my favorites out of the album. the album is a pretty well produced album and its worth your money. oh and 五月天 has nothing to do with the band 五月天.
three songs i liked from the album the most.
1. 中國話
2. 五月天
3. 藉口

April 4, 2007 I'm Glad They Released This!As a Twins fan I have to admit when you buy their albums there are a few good songs, a few bad ones. Usually there good songs are just so addicting and since they released this album it has all their big hits so this collection is really worth buying. It has really good songs and its worth every single penny. Plus the album cover is nice lol. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

April 4, 2007 Ayumi = AmazingShe is just amazing from her fashion and songs. With 27 number ones. Thats really amazing and that her releasing this best collection is a good thing for new listeners. This album is a must buy cause it has most of her number ones in this album. This one has all the upbeat and fun tracks and the black one holds the sad and sorrow songs. Id wish she put some songs from her new album in this but she didnt but it is still a good album. BUY BOTH OF THEM. THANK YESASIA FOR SELLING THE CD FOR $43.49 cause in my place their was just one place to buy this album and that was Japantown and they were selling A Best 2 White and A Best 2 Black For $58.95 EACH. Believe me this album is worth every single penny and the album + two DVD's is a limited edition version so hurry up and buy it! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

April 4, 2007 The Truth About Still FantasyLike every other of his album, all the songs are composed by taiwanese mega star Jay Chou. Whoever knows Jay most is Taiwan since that is the first place thats heard of him. The album came in second for the highest selling album of the year behind of "Dancing Diva" by Jolin Tsai. Though the album did sell 3 million copies within only 3 month which is extremely alot for China, The album was bad compared to his other albums but better than his previous album "November Chopin" which was his lowest selling album. The album had good songs but theirs nothing different, no improvement. I also can't believe I'm seeing reviews saying their is not a single boring track. Well Majority of his fans find Rosemary a really boring song. The lyrics for the song seriously could've been a club song something really upbeat. He wrote three songs in the album if I'm not mistaken, they are good and they are actually something different but then the rest of the album just lacks in improvement which JAY is really know for, improving. The album is still a great album but then a disappoint to the people have been with him since the very first start. Lots of people just are too obbessed with his looks and they just get like death and say all of his songs are gooood. OPEN YOUR FREAKING EARS! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
