Mirrorcle World (Single+DVD/ Jacket A) (Japan Version)

March 13, 2008 Limited EditionActually, the only limited edition is the first press extra large slip case packaging for the CD + DVD versions. You can still buy the CD + DVD versions without the first press packaging but why would you want to when the picture is practically the same and you're paying the same price. The cover is gorgeous. Ayu looks so pure and beautiful. Mirrorcle World is such a great song although the random orchestral opening is kind of odd. She also resang the whole song. I love it none the less.

July 21, 2007 Let's be honest hereThe melody is seriously the same as Mind Forest. Gackt could have arranged the flute to play in a different tune to make the song more different from Mind Forest but he just didn't. Kind of lame but the song is still catchy. Watching him on TV here in Japan in his Returner outfit was just ridiculous. If you haven't seen it, look for it. It's histerical. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Shalom (ALBUM+DVD)(Japan Version)
February 14, 2007 Why only two new tracks...?I'm sure this album will be amazing I mean, most of the songs were already released on her other singles which really bothers me regardless if they were amazing or not. There are literally only 2 new songs, one remix of a here by my side and 2 of the other songs Here by my side and lets start from here are just in Japanese this time. I was really looking forward to many new songs not just cut and pasted from other releases onto this album. It's too bad. Hopefully the DVD will make up for this. Did you find this review helpful?

4 Love (Japan Version)
April 1, 2006 Amazing!Just like her last two albums Mink and E+Motion, this single is absolutely amazing as expected. Mink's voice is beautiful, it's great to finally hear such a clean and soft voice worth listening to. She's young, 23 years old. Eternal Love shows her great vocal capabilities with multiple ranges and has English and Japanese Lyrics. Secret Garden is kind of a soft dance number with English Lyrics. Like There Is No Tomorrow is really pretty with violins in the background. It reminds me of Rescue me with it's mix of English and Japanese lyrics. Finally, Could It Get Better is a happy go lucky song, it's like she's smiling while singing the whole time. I've only heard a part of the song and it seems to be in English also. Overall, I'm excited for this singles release and I hope a live DVD is released soon!! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Orange (with Special Goods)(Limited Edition)(Japan Version)
February 21, 2006 OppsI misread the information. This does come with a bandana. In fact, it's bright orange(how ironic) and has this heart design in bold white. Now I want to know what it is that I read... Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Reborn (SINGLE+DVD)(Japan Version)
2 people found the following helpful
February 2, 2006 Mai's seperation from the Ruppina image is a hit!I bought the Ruppina Best Album and at the end of the DVD portion, Mai talks about how she portrayed this soft image as Ruppina. Now, she wants to make music that seems very different from her Ruppina work and also change her image to more reflect her new interest and style. So, she moved to Rhythm Zone and has release this amazing single. The song has a very fun, futurist dance beat to it and her voice is distorted in a way that makes it sound very angelic. That Cherryblossom Garden person needs to stop comparing Ruppina and Mai, the whole point is to make a new image and music style, not keep it the same. In other words, that person just does not like Mai and her new image and style, fair enough but don't go and say she should have quit, that's just rude. Did you find this review helpful?

Reborn (SINGLE+DVD)(Japan Version)

December 23, 2005 Amazing new single!I have loved Mai Kudo's releases under the name "Ruppina" and now she is starting to release music under her own name. This single is amazing! Similar to Utada Hikaru's "Passion" single with the way Hikki's voice is slurred, Mai's voice has been made to sound angelic and fits the song perfectly. "Reborn" has a trance like happy beat in the background. The CD + DVD version comes with the Music Video to "Reborn" and Photo Gallery as well as some Elastic something and the CD only version comes with a picture label and 1 character trading card out of 10. I personally ordered both, it's just too good to pass up! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

November 8, 2005 This is soo strangeThis is just about the weirdest Ayu single ever. She's trying new stuff with this single, I guess trying to fill in the more R & B, Hip Hop sounds from what the preview sounds like on the official website. It seems that some of the usually pop artists like Namie and Kumi are trying out this hip hop/hard beats type sound. The song is so completely in all honesty unlike her which is really cool and unexpected. Although, her backup singers apparently sing most of the chorus and sing "Bold & Delicious" like opera singers and it gets annoying. It's overall an odd happy sounding song. The song honestly sounds like one that would be on a pepsi or coke commercial. Pride is a bit softer and kind of eerie and I like it much more still having those hard beats.

Orange (with Special Goods)(Limited Edition)(Japan Version)
October 17, 2005 A bit misleading but a really good songThe song is good and you get a slip case. As for the Special Goods, it does not actually come with the bandana. It comes with a ticket stub. If you live in Japan, you take that ticket stub to the V6 movie and claim the bandana there when you see the movie. So, this CD does not come with the bandana. Did you find this review helpful?

Do The A-side +DVD (CD+DVD)(Japan Version) DVD Region 2
(4)Our Price: US$45.99Usually ships within 7 daysSeptember 15, 2005 Awesome Release!This release is an awesome closure to a great career for Do As Infinity. As announced on the Official Website, Do As Infinity are officially Disbanding on September 30, 2005. It's unfortunate this is happening as I'm sure all fans will miss them. From what I read Tomiko Van is going to start her own solo career and I'm not sure about Ryo. Back to this release, it's all the A-Side tracks and PV's made for those songs. An excellent release and I can't wait for it. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Morrow(Japan Version)
April 23, 2005 Laid BackThis song is my favorite laid back mellow song. Simple guitar and drums with soft vocals. It's a 'cruising by the beach on a sunny day with the windows down' kind of song. The first press gets you a sticker of the cover. The remixers are O.K. Nothing spectacular. The best one in my opinion is the drum and bass remix, Dry & Heavy Remix, it fits the singles atmosphere more. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Cyber TRANCE - REQUEST COUNT DOWN (Limited Edition)(Japan Version)
April 29, 2004 This album is great.It's all the songs that people voted. So like, Track 20 is the #1 song while track 1 is the #20 voted song. Get it? Because these are fan voted songs, they are the most popular with the people who voted. I find it to be the best compilation so far. Songs have great beats and catchy.

Avex 15th Anniversary Compilation BOX SET (Japan Version)
September 17, 2003 Good compilationsThe first 3 CD's are actual CD's, not DVD audio. (I thought they are full songs) They are nonstop. At first, I thought, oh no, nonstop version of all 50 songs. These songs jump from ballads to rock to pop. But, it actually blends fairly well. The 1st CD is really not my generation. I liked the international (3rd) cd best. The DVD is very well made. Showing how well Avex has progressed through the years. It's very good quality, and was fun to watch. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
dreams from above (Japan Version)
September 16, 2003 Good BuyThis CD is really fun. But, how to define fun. There is a great beat in the song, it is has the cyber trance sound. I love the instrumental, sometimes, the singers voice can get really annoying. There are 2 remixes, duh, it says so. The 3rd one sounds like the original mix, but the 2nd one sounds unique. This is a good sample of the cyber trance sound Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
