Girl Next Door's 2nd single. The new unit of avex consist of 3 people. Their vocalist Chisa is beautiful XD & the keyboardist was the keyboardist of "Day After Tomorrow" band.

Track 1 "Drive Away" A new style of Pop song. Combination of Pop,Rock, & Trance. I find this style is quite unique. Chisa's voice isn't that good, but she definitely has the power which is interesting. This is an upbeat pop song. It makes you wanna dance around XD

Track 2 "Shiawase no Jouken" This song isn't as powerful as track 1. A mid-tempo pop song. Not too great. I find this song is quite ordinary. But still okay to listen to =)

Track 3 & 4 is the remix version of Track 1. I don't like remix song =(

I Recommend track 1 & 2 to you guys! (erhanz)

Hata Motohiro - Forever Song
Release Date : 8 October 2008
Tracklist :
1. Forever Song
2. Hitori (Banka no Kisetsu)
3. Daisan no Otoko (CM ver.)
4. Tremolo Furu Yoru (Acoustic Session)
5. Forever Song (Backing Track)

This is Hata Motohiro's 6th single."Hitori (Banka no Kisetsu)" is a cover song, originally sung by Yumi Arai. "Daisan no Otoko (CM ver.)" is used as YEBISU beer's CM song and this one is an unique song. I never think he will produce song like this... haha. "Tremolo Furu Yoru (Acoustic Session)" is a song from his debut album, contrast, but this one come with acoustic version. Now, onto track per track review.

The first one is "Forever Song", his latest brand new self composed song. The intro is composed with electric, acoustic guitar and piano... I think the melody are quite good. Entering the verse, we can hear his nice voice and his style of singing really blend very well with the instruments... As we move on to chorus, I'm pretty sure you'll love this song because this is the best part you can get.

Next is "Hitori (Banka no Kisetsu)". I think I've heard the original version somewhere before but I don't really remember... This one is a slow tempo song and quite boring if you hear it over and over again. Despite quite boring, I love the piano melody and the chorus part til the end.

Nah, we hit the unique song, "Daisan no Otoko (CM ver.). This one basically not a lyricful song, because he only sing la la la la la la la, la la li la la la la and so on, but I love this one :P

Last song is "Tremolo Furu Yoru (Acoustic Session)"... Another slow song but this one really really a nice song (love his acoustic session). Try hear it in the middle of the night, alone, with calm wind breezing trough you...

In the end, I really love this "Forever Song" single, another great work from him, and I really recommend this single to you. (w)

Breakerz' newest single. I'm new to this band & they really have great rock songs. They are JRock band similar to "Glay" style of songs.

Track 1 "Shakunetsu" An spiritful rock song. Really love this one. This is what i call Rock song. lol. Daigo's voice is good. I listened to this song so many times in Hey!x3 & Music Japan & Music Station. That's how i become addicted to this band XD

Tracklist :
1. Blue Vibration
2. Kaze no Kioku ~to the end of the world~
3. Blue Vibration (Instrumental)
4. Kaze no Kioku ~to the end of the world~ (Instrumental)

Anybody knows Jyukai ? A Japanese pop/rock duo. This is their vocalist, Manami, debut solo single under stage name Aimmy... I'm a big fans of Jyukai. I really like their style and their vocalist voice.... In 2008, Manami started her solo career, but I don't know if Jyukai is disbanded. Too bad if Jyukai is gone.

"Blue Vibration", awww, I'm quite shocked with the intro... Not so good I think, but after that, it's getting better and better. This one is a rock song but I still like it.

"Kaze no Kioku ~to the end of the world~", this is what I love from her. In this song we can her trademark voice. I really miss that voice and I'm glad she still keep her style of singing from Jyukai era. This one is a pop song, suit her style very well. This is the ending theme of "World Destruction" anime.

In the end, I really recommend this single to you. (w)

alan - Kaze no Tegami

Release Date : 10 September 2008

Tracklist :

1. Kaze no Tegami

2. Kagome

3. Kaze no Tegami (Instrumental)

4. Kagome (Instrumental)

This is alan's 5th single, this one is the third single from five singles centered around five elements of Japanese philosophy, and this one have wind theme.

Honestly, I don't like this single... I can't enjoy it at all... When I listened to "Kaze no Tegami" for the first time, I think this one is quite good, but I feel annoyed with the instruments in the background especially the drum and the electric guitar.

"Kagome" is better, but somewhat boring...

Better try it yourself guys... And I'm sorry for alan fans who read this XD. (w)
