Chorion (Japan Version)
March 4, 2009 Her best Album... Ever...What I have to say? If you don't know Ruru, order this CD and you will see that you haven't make a mistake. This was my first Album of her and this is an amazing CD! It starts with the mysterious and bittersweet "ABINTRA", succeeded from the amazingly beautiful and impressive Ballad "Reirei no Tenohira". Next Tracks "Hoshi ni Hana, Haiiro no Ame" and "Mizu Keshiki Hoshi Moyou" are also very good, but not such amazing then the previous ones (Would give them 4,5/5 ^_^). "Negai no Todoku Hi" is really beautiful, "SPINEL" is okay too. "Time Traveler" is the worst Track on the Album. The Lyrics are really unintelligible and the song is a boring thing at all. But the last 3 Tracks "Parade, "Hohoemi no Maria" and "Magnolia no Joukei" are with her first ones the best tracks on this album. I haven't heard such beautifuls songs in the music industry before... I also translated the lyrics of the album, and they're really profound (without "Time Traveler" U_U), thoughtfully and beautiful.
Result: If you are a fan of amazing lyrics, good instrumentals, a fairy-like voice and in total a fan of good music => BUY THIS ! ! !Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

March 4, 2009 Amazing Best of-Tour from J-Pop Cutie Ai Otsuka <3Ai-chan is my favorite Singer so I thought "Philip, you could order a DVD by her to see how she rocks the stage xD". And yeah, I choose the Ai am Best Tour because it should be similar to her Best-Album - A good start n_n. And I was right: THIS TOUR IS AMAZING ! ! ! The first Part of the Tour from "Yumekui" (her voice isn't the best here Y_Y) until "Biidama/Kuroge Wagyuu Joshio Tanyaki 680 Yen Medley" is a bit boring, but the Ballad Section from "Neko ni Fuusen" until "Planetarium" is such an amazing and beautiful thing. Her voice is really emotional and beautiful here, I highly recommend her Performing of "Daisuki da yo" and "Kingyo Hanabi". Well, after this she disappears from stage and the band and the dancers dance a really crazy dance and in the background you can hear the extreme funny "BABASHI". With the Start of the next Song "Kataomoi Dial" my favorite Part of the Tour begins, her performings of her crazy and Up-Beat Songs up to "Sakuranbo". The Encore Part is really good to, the performings of "PEACH, "SMILY" and "CHU-LIP" are such a funny thing, especially "CHU-LIP" ^_^. The Last song "LOVE MUSiC" is amazing too. I had to cry a little because this would going to be the Good Bye. And of course Ai cries too, but the fans sung with her really loud, this was so heartwarming. And yeah, as Funky Monkey Baby said: It's not the last song n_n.
The Bonus DVD is great too, really interesting and funny to watch xD.
10 out of 10, great work little Ai-chan! ! !Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

March 4, 2009 Really good Single!I have to say, her last Single "Days / GREEN" wasn't a big Hit for me, and "Mirrorcle World" was just a Re-cut which was 2 minutes longer than the album Version, so I was very skeptical as I read she's going to release a new Single in 2009 and my prospects was low. But I failed U_U... This Single is brilliant! "RULE" is a Rockish Song and the perfect Song for Dragonball Evolution. Unfortunately, the song is after hearing it 4 or 5 times a bit boring and annoying, but still a highly recommend song ^_^! "Sparkle" is my favourite from the 2 Songs. It's really techno-like and stay easily in your had, really catchy! And Ayu looks so sexy and beautiful in the CM! The Remixes are also interesting and stand easily in your head, but I'm not the biggest fan of Remixes... I always want a new B-Side, but thats the way ayu's Singles are...
As you can see, this is a highly recommend Single! Be sure to buy the CD+DVD because the PV of "RULE" is a good thing. I expected a little more action, but well... you can't have anything ^_^. It's still a good PV >_^.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

January 25, 2009 Thanks again Ai-chan!Ai Otsuka is my favourite Singer and I was so happy that she release a new Studio-Album. And I have to say, this Album is great. The Album is not the good as my Faves "LOVE JAM" and "LOVE PiECE", but still very very good. I love every song and I think everyone found a song on this album, which he's loving more and more. here are my Ratings:
LOVE LETTER : 4 / 5
Rocket Sneaker : 4,5 / 5
Bye Bye : 4 / 5
Kurage, Nagareboshi : 4,5 / 5
Ningyou : 4,5 / 5
Kimi Fechi : 5 / 5
Creamy & Spicy : 5 / 5
Do☆Positive : 5 / 5
360° : 4,5 / 5
Shachihata : 4,5 / 5
One × Time : 4.5 / 5
Pocket : 3.5 / 5
Ai : 5 / 5
The PV's are pretty to! "360°" is very obscure and magical. "Do ☆ Positive" is crazy and funny (I had to laugh as i see her with that Afro-wig xD) and "Ai" is very lovely and calm. The PV's from "Rocket Sneaker", "Kurage Nagareboshi" and "Pocket" are also very good!
This Album is a MUST BUY!Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
