SINGLE REVIEW: YUI- Laugh away
I’m glad YUI is managing to be active again after that long break caused by the DVD release. I hope she at least got to rest a bit during that time. Sony seems to be nicer to their talent than avex, so hopefully she doesn’t even need it that terribly. Anyway, [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: ayaka- Te wo Tsunagou/Ai wo Utaou
After a string of wondrous singles, ayaka is back again with a double A-side. It’s apparent that there’s (instead of an album) a single release coming by the name of Okaeri, which seems odd considering that she already has four A-Sides for her coming album… Well, whatever I guess. [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Tohoshinki- Close to You
Here is the fourth, and second to last, single in the TRICK series. So far these singles have been decent, but really not a whole lot more, with the exception of a couple of songs. I’m hoping Yunho steps it up, but you never know. He might just suck. I’m [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Namie Amuro- 60s 70s 80s
This is Namie Amuro’s latest single, and the start of her post-PLAY era. I can tell you all honestly that I’ve never been a huge fan. I love watching her interact with people on television and such, and she’s gorgeous, but as far as artistry I’ve never been [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: alan- Hitotsu
alan’s last single was extremely impressive, and I was drawn in by her powerful skills in Chinese opera. My consistent problem with alan has been the weakness of her vibrato, though I do not think it is a vital part of being a good vocalist. YUI does not have a strong vibrato, [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: Yuna Ito- WISH
Yuna Ito’s last album was quite lackluster, and I’m really hoping for a signifigant re-invention in this album. Fewer cheesy 90s pop tracks, and more edgy dance and some sparse power ballads. I don’t know if I’m going to get it, but one can hope. This is only Ito’s second album, [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: Tohoshinki- If…!?
I was annoyed by the first single of this project, but then pleasantly surprised by the follow up. I’m not quite sure what to expect from this single, but I’m hoping that the B-Side is flooring. I saw the live version before I knew it would be released as a single and [...]
