SINGLE REVIEW: Stephanie- Friends
I’m still glad that I found Stephanie at the release of her debut single, because I really do feel that she has a lot of potential, even beyond the strong music she makes now. This is her fourth single, which from what I’ve heard is very good. I’m not exactly sure what [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Utada Hikaru- HEART STATION/Stay Gold
Both Beautiful World/Kiss & Cry and Flavor of Life were absolutely astounding singles by Hikaru, and I am expecting no less of this single. The buzz going around is that at least Stay Gold is amazing. My biggest hopes are a fantastic vocal performance and hopefully some unique music. [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: GReeeeN- BE FREE/Namidazora
After reviewing GReeeeN’s latest works, I have come to really like them. They’re not my favorites, but I like their style and the way that their music has meaning. I also think it’s interesting the way that they haven’t revealed their faces. Annoying, but interesting. Anyway, here is GReeeeN’s ‘BE FREE/Namidazora.’

SINGLE REVIEW: BoA- be with you.
Though I’m not always floored by BoA’s music, for me she is still a force to be reckoned with in the Japanese music industry, and she has not fallen from her seat among the top artists of recent times. Everyone says BoA really needs a reinvention, and though that may [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: Tohoshinki- T
Tohoshinki really surprised me with the quality of their latest singles, and I’m genuinely impressed with the sound that they’ve come out with for this album. The overall presentation of dance and R&B songs will mix well, and I’m hoping for the best. I was first introduced to Tohoshinki in the form [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Koda Kumi- anytime
Yet another single I’ve been wanting to hear. Koda Kumi’s latest album ‘Kingdom’ drops on the 30th, and this is one of the many tracks featured on it. Kingdom is going to be an impressive package with a promotional video for every song and no B-Sides used on it. I’m [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Tohoshinki- Purple Line
Tohoshinki has been doing pretty well in the Japanese industry lately, so I’m hoping that they don’t fly back to Korean music any time soon. They have their third Japanese album coming out soon, which I will be reviewing, and from the previews it sounds quite good. I hope this [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: WaT- Yume no Tochuu
I have long been awaiting this WaT single, for it marks their fresh start (after about a year of solitary work) as a duo in the Japanese music industry. I don’t quite know what to expect, but I’m hoping for their traditional sound, maybe with a new twist. WaT managed [...]
