(2)Our Price: US$20.99List: US$29.99Save: US$9.00 (30%)November 7, 2007 GreatI just got mine today. I'd heard this album from a friend and wanted my own copy. While she had the regular Korean version, I bought this version of the album because I wanted the music videos and the DVD came in all region (I live in the US).
The packaging was cool and the album booklet was nice.
I'd say it was well worth the money.
PS Not to mention that every song on the album is great!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Dong Bang Shin Ki Vol. 3 - Repackage Version (CD+DVD: Music Video) DVD Region All
(49)Our Price: US$16.99List: US$22.99Save: US$6.00 (26%)Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysNovember 7, 2007 Worth every penny!I just got my shipment today and I'd have to say that this is worth more than what it's selling for.
The packaging is awesome. Everything comes in a hard (almost wooden like) box. Every inch of the box is artistic (decorated). Top, bottom, even inside the lid.
Inside, the CD and DVD come in the same case. There's a lyrics poster as well as collectable cards. I'd heard from buyers that the cards didn't come anymore with this package but I got them. They are so cute. There are 30 of them and they are bigger than playing cards but smaller than a 4x5 photo... All in all it was worth it. ^^
Now, I want to buy Version D of this CD just to get the packaging and other DVD... but-
If you want to get this album, I'd say to go with this one!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 7, 2007 Great!I just got mine in the mail! It came in a DVD case instead of a cd case. It included the CD and DVD with MVs as well as a picture/lyrics book. Also, there were cards of the members with little calenders on the back. The calender is 2007 though (it's near the end of 2007), but it's okay because I'll keep the cards as a collectable.
All in all, it was worth the purchase.
PS This version has 3 MVs and 2 CFs. If you want more MVs, I'd suggest getting the other DVD version of this album. ^^Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 6, 2007 Awesome! Sugoi!I just got mine in the mail! I know this is an old concert, but I just had to add it to my collection.
The packaging is awesome! It comes in a box/book and has a picture booklet, a limited edition picture board (see through), and two discs (each with their own slot.)
I liked how everything was hard and not skimpy paperback. The box actually snaps closed like a magnet journal.
The picture book is awesome and has many close ups of TVXQ during the concert.
All in all, it was well worth the money. ^^Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
SE7EN Vol. 2 - Must Listen
November 6, 2007 Sarang hamnida!Even though I have heard this album from a friend of mine, I absolutely had to buy it. This is one of Se7en's best albums in my opinion (even though it's an old one.) I loved almost all of the tracks (especially 1-7 and 13-15).
The cd package was cool. It came with a white platic cover that had to be removed. The CD case itself is actaully blue! ^^ The CD booklet includes lyrics and has regular, shiny and see through pages with pictures.
It's well worth more than 12 bucks! ^^

October 26, 2007 Simply Amazing!I have just recently been getting into Wheesung and I'd have to say that this is one of the best albums. I heard the Music Video song: Love Is Delicious and didnt really care for it, however a friend of mine had just ordered the cd and I listened to it. It's excellent.
1. Love Hero (feat. J)
7/10, I like it, but it seems like a movie song or a credit song to a film.
2. My Way
8/10, this is a light song (guitars, happy song, reggae beat). I was surprised at the beginning to hear it on a Wheesung album, but it actually sounded good. ^^
3. Love Is Delicious
3/10, didn't really care for it. It sounded like a song more suited for Super Junior.
4. Even If You Get Hurt
5/10, a nice slow song, but I didn't really like the music that went with it. (Sounded like a Olymics song like The Fighting Spirit of Dong Bang)
5. Man and Woman Inside a Car
9/10, one of the better songs. A lot of vocal repition sounds, but it sounds good. The harmony is so nice.
6. Take Care
10/10, another song that I loved. It has an old skool beat. It feels like a normal day at school song. ^^
7. A Sudden Secret
10/10, another good song. It has a Chinese feel to it (like something from Mulan), but it sounds good, especially the verse parts. (could have picked a better chorus)
8. Savannah Woman (feat. Verbal Jint)
10/10, a GREAT song. It has a salsa rhythm and a lot of english in it. I think this song should have been used as the music video promotion. I'm sure that every comment will say that this song is the best one.
9. This Kind of Situation
10/10, a GREAT R&B groove song. I loved this as soon as I heard the first beat. This song also contains quite a bit of english (especially in the chorus and rap solo).
10. To Touch (feat. Younha)
7/10, it's a nice joint song, but I didn't really care for it. Younha's voice is to high for the song. It's like Wheesung is rapping because I don't think his voice can blend with such a high voice...
11. Tick Tock
10/10, a nice R&B song with guitar/reggae beats. His voice is at a higher octave in this song and it really goes well with the beat.
12. Stand In Front of Separation
10/10, this is my FAVORITE song on the album. His vocals are so strong and you can feel the emotion in the song...
13. Punishment
9/10, a good pop/rap song. It has a hard beat with drums and violins. It's like a stomp song (something that would be by Bi or on a movie like stomp the yard.) I bet that many dancers trying to get into the entertainment business will use this song to audition...
So, in reality, I really didn't like three songs... so...
All in all, I will DEFINITELY be buying this from yesasia album soon. ^^

(5)Our Price: US$21.99October 23, 2007 Raw Power...To be honest, this concert was very raw. In other words, it was definitely noticable that they were singing live. However, I think that is what's appealing about this concert. It was also nice to see L'Arc~en~ciel's interaction with the American crowd at Otakon. ^^ *cries because I missed that Otakon* Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
October 23, 2007 A Good Album
Even though this album is a very different theme from their previous album (Smile), you can still tell that this is a pure L'Arc~en~ciel album. There are many catchy songs on this album (My Dear, Ophelia, Poem). This album also includes the hit: New World and Lost Heaven (from the Fullmetal Alchemist Movie).
This cd seems to have a more Rock centered genre.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
FAITH (ALBUM+DVD)(First Press Limited Edition)(Japan Version)
October 23, 2007 Great VocalsI was lucky enough to obtain a CD+DVD version of this album while at an anime convention. For those who love L'Arc~en~ciel, this is a must have album. Everything is original and truly HYDE. He combines his english and japanese with the traditonal L'Arc~en~ciel sound. Also, the DVD had two music videos (Season's Call and Countdown).

It had pretty live concert pictures as well as lyrics. This two disc albums shows how DBSK can sound just as good live as they do on their albums and music videos. Plus, it's two disc (34 songs total I believe plus 2 bonus songs of Xiah Junsu and U-Know Yunho solos)
It's an album to truly enjoy.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
WOLF'S RAIN O.S.T. (Japan Version)
October 23, 2007 Another good OST!Yoko Kanno makes the best OSTs and this one is no exception. Even though Vol. 2 of this OST has the better songs, this one is no slacker. The music is awesome featuring the voices of Steve Conte, Raj, and the lovely compositions of Yoko Kanno.
This OST is a must.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
October 23, 2007 Interesting...
This album was interesting. I am a die hard Utada fan and I will admit that this isn't one of her GREATEST works, but there are some pretty catchy songs on this album (like Hotel Lobby, Animato, The Workout, and You Make Me Want to be a Man.)
All in all it's nice to hear something in English that's original.
I think the problem with this album is that it was TOO original for american listeners. (which is why it sold more internationally than where the language is dominant).
America loves rough (and somewhat dirty) lyrics, but Utada didn't do that. Her lyrics are pure... and it takes a fine ear to appreciate them.
Have fun with this album and be open minded.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

Yoko Kanno did a wonderful job with the music for the anime Arjuna. The OST features the voices of Maaya Sakamoto, Gabriella Robin, and many other wonderful voices feature in animes such as Wolf's Ran and Cowboy Bebop. This is a must have in any anime OST collection or Yoko Kanno collection. ^^ The music is so beautiful.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

October 23, 2007 Gundam Seed Fans?I'll say the same thing I said about the Nami Tamaki Greeting's album.
If you love the music off of Gundam Seed, then you'll love this album! I bought this back when Gundam Seed was in it's prime and I'd have to say that I feel in love with this album. ^^ TM Revolution also makes some of the best anime dance hits. Its music to jam to! He's like a legend to me (an oldie...since I'm getting so old, lol and this album came out a few years ago)

October 23, 2007 The Best Concert Ever!!!I couldn't really care less how much the DVD cost. This is the best concert I've EVER witnessed. Even though the packaging could have been fancier, the concert makes up for it.
Even though I had to buy my copy off of yesasia (to get an All Region copy), I'd say that ANY wait on this item is worth it. I'm a die hard Utada fan and I have to say that in this concert, she is FLAWLESS.
This concert knows no bounds and every time I rewatch it, it is worth evey penny I spent. There is no price for excellence.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Ultra Blue (Japan Version)
October 23, 2007 An Album of True Excellence!This album is the best Japanese album I've EVER heard. Even though I physically bought this album for nearly twice as much this website it selling it for, to me, it was worth every penny. (In my opinion, the price posted is a great deal...)
There is not ONE bad song on this album. This album has everything from dance, touching, salsa, jazz... it's purely Utada (which is a mix of everything.) No words can describe this album's originality.
This album also contains the hits:
Keep Tryin'
Colors
Be My Last

October 23, 2007 A Must Have!
If you are die hard Utada fan, your collection would not be complete without this album. This cd was Utada at her prime. All the hits such as Traveling, Sakura Drops, Hikari, Deep River, Letters, and Distance are on this album. When I first bought this album (back in 2004) it was great and it's still great now. No matter how old Utada's cds are, they still have a modern beat. None of her music sounds old.
This cd it worth evey penny!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

October 23, 2007 Excellent Album!This Se7en album was great!
The album mixes R&B (LaLaLa, Again), Soft (I Will Do Well, Last of Diary), and Dance (Get Up & Dance, Oh Ma Girl) music.
It is a little different from his past albums, but each of Se7en's albums are different. (Vol. 2 Must Listen = R&B/Soul) (Vol. 3 24/7 R&B/Pop/Rap). Each of his albums seem to have a theme and he did an excellent job on this album. Very original.
If you're a collector of Se7en or K-Pop products in general, Se7olution would be a great addition.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Rain Vol. 4 - Rain's World

October 23, 2007 Worth Every PennyEven though I physically bought this album (from H-Mart), I'd have to say that this album is totally worth the wait if you order it. This has to be Bi(Rain)'s greatest album yet. The cd came with a cute lyrics/picture book. The pictures were awesome and all the songs were very catchy. The album was full of dance songs (I'm Coming, With You, Don't Stop, Not A Single Day, Him & Me, and Oh Yeah!)
This album was amazing!
PS Even though it was a little disappointing that right after I bought the album, a DVD (with MV's) included version came out... either version is worth it!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
