SINGLE REVIEW: Ayumi Hamasaki- talkin’ 2 myself
———
As much as a truly hate to admit it, I liked talkin’ 2 myself. I had doubts that Hamasaki would be able to come back into the music scene strongly after I heard on of my least favorite singles by her Glitter/Fated. However, this song caught my attention right [...]

To be honest, I know next to nothing about the duo Tackey & Tsubasa. What I do know is that it is a group of two males [good lord, what is with Japanese people and boy duos!!?], who sing. I don’t really know if they play instruments, but I guess I’ll find out. They have [...]

Ever since I listened to Angela Aki’s amazing debut album ‘HOME’, I have been a huge fan. Aki’s amazing vocals accompanied by her beautiful piano melodies form some of the best music I’ve ever listened to. My favorite thing about Aki is how down to earth she is with her music, [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Ken Hirai- fake star
Introducing the controversial [everyone thinks he's gay] mega star in Japan ‘Ken Hirai’. Ken Hirai is a long time vetran in Japan, and I have never really been too fond of his music. I didn’t like POP STAR, because I thought it sounded really… well… gay. He sings constantly in [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Utada Hikaru- Flavor of Life
I know this isn’t Utada Hikaru’s most recent single, but it’s the first one i’ve listened to of her [I know, sin], so I’m going to post it first. Utada Hikaru is basically like the most famous Japanese artist of all time, and i’ve never met a Japanese [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Stephanie- because of you
Stephanie is a fresh artist in Japan, although she actually hails from California. Her voice is roughly five octives in range, and I personally love her voice. I have high hopes for this single, though I’m worried that it can’t be as impressive as the fantastic vocal prowess and diversity [...]
