SINGLE REVIEW: Shota Shimizu- HOME
Shota Shimizu is a new artist, having just debuted on the twentieth of this month, but was having so much success with his debut that I decided to check him out. I saw his performance on Music Station yesterday which was absolutely amazing, and I decided that I would begin reviewing [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: YUI- Namidairo
This is another single I’ve long been waiting for. YUI released a live DVD about a month ago which threw off her release schedule. This single will mark the third since her last album, which means that there’s a new album coming soon(ish). Well, I don’t want to wait any longer, YUI’s [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: misono- Mugen Kigen
I stand by my opinion that misono’s last single was dreadful, despite the fact I got criticism for it. I do not think misono is a weak artist, but I still think that Juunin Toiro was possibly the worst song I heard in 2007. I liked Zasetsu Chiten, so I really [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Arashi- Step and Go
I didn’t mind Arashi’s last single, but I really wasn’t blown away by it. It’s fun to watch Arashi on TV since they are all great characters, and I’ve been able to do it alot lately due to heavy promotion of Step and Go. They’ve been on every show week [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Kana Nishino- I
I already reviewed Nishino’s pre-debut digital single I don’t wanna know, and I was definitely intrigued by her tone and performance. I’m hoping that she doesn’t disappoint on in her debut, which is the Japanese version of her pre-debut. Well, here’s Kana Nishino’s ‘I’.
———
Obviously the melody and arrangement of I are [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Ken Hirai- Canvas/Kimi wa Su・Te・Ki♥
My god, this single is way overdue. Ken decided to wait half a year before releasing another single (I guess that’s his way…), so everyone has just been sitting idle going to back to questioning his sexuality… poor Ken. Either way, does it really matter? If his homosexuality is [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Thelma Aoyama- Soba ni Iru ne
I was very impressed with the lead track of Aoyama’s last single, and I’m hoping that she can lead up to my expectations with this one. It’s very clear that she can sing, but whether or not she can consistently deliver engaging performances is what I’m still not [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Thelma Aoyama- ONE WAY
I’m telling you people, if you want to give me a heads up about an artist, DO IT. I’m fairly confident that you’re not all crazed fans with no ability to discern good music from bad. Unless the artist you recommend is totally ridiculous or not the kind of music [...]
