Namie Amuro - FAST CAR & The Meaning Of Us
FAST CAR & The Meaning Of Us are 2 brand new album tracks you can find in Namie Amuro's 8th album PAST < FUTURE which will be released on 16th Dec .
Both songs receive music videos of their own for that matter .
Found as track #1 is FAST CAR & this's a hot jazzy meets R&B no. ! It's no Hide & Seek but you can't deny that this's a pretty strong opening track for PAST < FUTURE .
Also there's no way you can escape the trumpet horns blaring & the hot drum beats blaring from every single angle of the tune .
The Meaning Of Us is found as track #11 & this's a really sweet ballad . I seldom come across Namie dishing out ballads which's a pity because I feel that she excel in both upbeat no.s & ballads .
The song's quite a simple no. that has minor synth & it's piano driven which's really plain lovely . You really don't need extra details to make The Meaning Of Us better as it's already nice in its own right .
There're 2 more album tracks which received music videos of their own in PAST < FUTURE which're LOVE GAME & Defend Love . I sure hope both songs will sound great as so far , whatever that has been released on the net from PAST < FUTURE , I'm liking everything on what I heard so far .
I have a feeling PAST < FUTURE will totally pawn her last album PLAY in possibly every single level , musically & then some .

14) my life
my life is alan's 2nd Japanese album . It was released on Wed / 25th Nov & this comes barely 8 months + since the release of her debut Japanese album Voice of EARTH .
3 singles & a B-side made the cut in alan's latest album offering .
reflection ~overture~ is the album's introduction instrumental piece . While this's no Tennyo ~interlude~ , it's still a cool opening tune to me & the ending of reflection ~overture~ had some pop beats thrown in for good measures .
Swear is alan's 11th single & this was released 3 weeks prior to my life & it was used as the promo song for the ads surrounding the Bourbon Buranchuuru Mini Series .
I know there're people out there who doesn't like Swear because they're used to her releasing ballads as singles , her vocals sound wooden/dead in Swear , it's a cutesy bubblegum pop tune & the list goes on .
Personally to me , I like the song & it's a refreshing change after she released BALLAD ~Namonaki Koi no Uta~ (~Nameless Love Song~) which I unfortunately didn't like .
It seems odd that Swear's released during autumn/winter in Japan seeing that this sounded like a tune that alan should have released during summer at their end .
One is well the 1st album track you can find & it's a mid tempo piano driven no. . I found it really slow/un-memorable for my liking initally & the electric guitar bridge in the middle of One frankly saved the song from being a total dud .
Mitsumeteitai (I Wanna Be Staring At You) is probably 1 of my fave album tracks in my life simply because it has a gorgeous piano melody .
It's just alan & the piano which accompanied her vocals in Mitsumeteitai . You don't need extra instruments & etc to make the 1st album ballad track stellar as it's already good on its own right .
The Smooth Jam Mix of Namida (Tears) was originally found as the B-side of alan's 7th single Megumi no Ame (Blessed Rain) .
I'm not sure as to why she chose to re-record/re-arranged Namida & let alone include it in my life seeing that Megumi no Ame made the cut in Voice of EARTH but anyway as the 'remix' suggest , this's a pretty cool rearrangement of Megumi no Ame .
I like the original already & I'm pretty much fine with the Smooth Jam Mix of the tune which's probably something you might listen to if you're lounging/chilling out at home .
Lost Child is track #6 & just like One , it took me quite a while to remember how this song sounds but I must admit the melody's pretty & the orchestra strings going on in Lost Child is lovely .
Butterflies is a pop tinged no. & this's a pretty catchy album track & it has a cool synth in the background that's thrown in for good measures .
The next 2 songs are basically the odd tunes in the album .
1st of all , Essence of me can probably be considered as my life's interlude because there's barely any lyrics attached to this no. & you can hear alan's yodelling & voice going on in the background .
Regardless of which , the interlude flows quite nicely to track #9 Call my name & I don't know why but I had deja vu vibes of Spiller feat Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Groovejet (If This Ain't Love) when I 1st heard Call my name .
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but I leave it as it's .
Shiroi Tsubasa (White Wings) is track #10 & this's basically a simple song which has alan's vocals backed up by an acoustic guitar & some minor percussions .
It's no Mitsumeteitai but it's pretty alright for me even though her vocals sounded a bit wooden in Shiroi Tsubasa .
Nobody knows but me is the 2nd last album track & this's a piano driven no. with a gorgeous flute/erhu backing to boot . This's probably the only album track you can hear alan yodelling , be it in the song or the background vocals itself .
1 thing I find the song odd is when she included talking dialogues in the background for Nobody knows but me which I feel that's un-necessary . I figure if that's not present , I would have enjoyed Nobody knows but me a lot more .
The next 2 songs are singles that alan released prior to my life .
BALLAD ~Namonaki Koi no Uta~ is her 10th single & it was used as the theme song for the movie which shares the same title as the song starring SMAP's Tsuyoshi Kusanagi & Yui Aragaki .
This's frankly not my fave ballad that alan released . It doesn't really blow me that away as compared to previous ballads that she put out before but I figure I can close an eye for the song in here .
Kuon no Kawa (River Of Eternity) is her 9th single & this's the Japanese take of Chi Bi (赤壁 ; RED CLIFF) ~Da Jiang Dong Qu~ (~大江东去~ ; ~The Great River Surges East~) which was used to promote the 2nd installment of the John Woo movie RED CLIFF .
alan set a record when this single was released because this's her 1st single to crack the top 10 & let alone top 3 on the Oricon weekly singles chart , making her the 1st China born singer to achieve such a feat in Japan .
Well be it Kuon no Kawa or Chi Bi ~Da Jiang Dong Qu~ , I still adore both takes of the song which're done in 2 different languages . The melody never fails to blow me away & you can feel various emotions going on in here coming from alan who belted out this power ballad .
From 1 power ballad to the next , the final song in my life shares the same title as her 2nd album .
my life the song is used as the theme no. for the PSP game GOD EATER & it's the only album track to receive a music video of its own .
It definitely deserves so seeing that this's 1 heck of an album power ballad & the melody has a really grand piano sweeping orchestra feeling to it & I'm sure a lot of people out there including me will single out my life the song as 1 of the album highlights in alan's 2nd album offering .
So at the end of the day , how does alan's 2nd Japanese album offering stack up against her debut album Voice of EARTH ?
To prevent un-necessary biasness comments from cropping up at my end , I have divided the conclusion of my album review towards my life in from 2 different perspectives , not against & against her latest album .
not against my life ::
- it's quite a mature sounding record to a certain extent as you can detect quite a significance amount of growth in here .
alan's vocals are somewhat more stronger & her Japanese dictation has improved as compared to her early newbie days .
It's not easy for her seeing that it's obvious that Japanese's not her 1st language so kudos for her to release another Japanese album again .
- less singles are found in my life . Compared to Voice of EARTH which had 8 singles , my life sees only 3 singles that made the cut which allows her to give her fans more album tracks .
- Talking about album tracks , there're more upbeat no.s you can find in her 2nd album as compared to just 1 ie. BRAVE in Voice of EARTH .
- alan has left her music comfort zone of doing solely just ballads & did a fair bit of experimentation in my life . Whether the final product(s) is/are good or bad , it all depends to the listener at the end of the day .
- Quite a lot of tracks are missing her signature yodelling . Ditto to what I said in the previous pointer I made .
- she has a lot more personal input in my life where she wrote/compose quite a fair bit .
against my life ::
- people who have raved about Voice of EARTH in that it's a great debut album (me not so much as I don't consider it to be my fave debut album of 2009 , that goes to Kuroki Meisa's debut mini album hellcat but it's a different story altogether) panned my life as they feel it's a sellout thing that alan has done .
Guess this happens when your expectations of something can be too high as this can seriously backfired big time .
- Gone were the Tibetan inspired like songs you can find in Voice of EARTH & instead , she did various & all sorts of experimentations in her 2nd album in which most of them sounded like something that has been heard/done before .
- Some of the album tracks took a lot more time to listen/remember . If so , alan's vocals sounded wooden/dead & she didn't bring any life/spirit to the tracks especially for the upbeat no.s .
- certain parts of my life were samey sounding & the album begin to lose steam as each album track goes by .
- Essence of me & Call my name being the 2 oddballs in my life .
- A rushed out 2nd album especially since this was released barely less than 8 months after she put out Voice of EARTH .
If she was give more time to make a 2nd album , musically it might have been better & as a result , the dreaded 2nd album syndrome was somewhat being felt in here unfortunately or not .
So whose side do you belong to ?
CD Review :: LOVE - LOVE.IT EP
CD Only Cover :
CD + DVD Cover :
Tracklist :
1) MAGIC
2) STARLIGHT
3) MOONLIGHT
4) RED EYE
5) White choco
6) LOVE no Theme
LOVE.IT is the 1st mini album released by otsuka ai's stage name LOVE who's a pet bunny that she draws .
The mini album was released on 18th Nov , a week after the release of her 3rd compilation album LOVE is BEST .
LOVE.IT contains a total of 6 tracks inclusive of 2 singles .
LOVE no Theme is LOVE's debut single & it was used as the theme song to the anime Oshare Majo : Love and Berry Shiawase no Maho while White choco's LOVE's 2nd single in which both singles were released 2 years ago & last year respectively .
As you can tell or not , I choose to review this mini album in a different manner as compared to the numerous past album reviews that I have done in my blog because basically at the end of the day for LOVE.IT's case , all the 6 songs are the same .
Same in the sense that all 6 tunes have an electro meets somewhat trance pop style .
I'm not sure as to why otsuka choose to release this mini album a week after LOVE is BEST seeing that the mini album performed worst than LOVE's 1st 2 singles (in the 1st week , LOVE.IT didn't cracked the top 50 position on the Oricon album chart) but LOVE.IT's mini album is pretty ok for me even though I'm not an electro/trance person at the end of the day .
It's just that otsuka choose to go into the electro meets somewhat trance pop using the LOVE moniker because I feel if she were to release such material using her real name , her fans might not receive this music direction that warmly in which I think it's evident when you look at how badly LOVE.IT had performed .
This's strictly for die hard otsuka ai fans to listen/enjoy .
Suga Shikao Feat Mummy-D - Hajimari no Hi (The Beginning Of The Day)'s B-sides
The following 2 songs serve as B-sides in Suga Shikao's 26th single Hajimari no Hi (The Beginning Of The Day) which features rapper Mummy-D :
- Oretachi (Our) Funk Fire
- Nekosan (Mr.Cat)
Suga's 1st collaboration single was released on Wed / 25th Nov & the whole single was produced by Suga himself .
Oretachi Funk Fire is a strange song & sounded more like a long piece of funky jazz soul inspired no. interlude .
The reason on why I said so is because there's virtually no vocals of Suga going on in Oretachi Funk Fire . Instead you can find a bunch of non Japanese people singing/humming in here .
I'm not sure why Suga choose to put such an odd tune here but I do admit this's something that you might hear in a club .
The oddly titled Nekosan is the 2nd B-side & in here , this's something that's totally different as compared to the A-side & Oretachi Funk Fire .
You get to hear Suga's vocals on here in this really stripped down / chilled out guitar driven no. .
I didn't find the song grabbing on 1st listen as it's a bit too slow for my liking & I got quite used to the outlandish tunes going on in the single until Nekosan came in .
This time round for Suga's case , I enjoy the A-side seeing that it's his 1st collaboration single that he has released in his 12th year in the business but the 2 B-sides are something that I feel it's not up to mark even though both songs do not have Mummy-D's vocals in both tunes .
Maybe I should give the 2 B-sides a few more listens if that's the case .

school food punishment - light prayer
CD Only Cover :
CD + DVD Cover :
light prayer is school food punishment's 4th single . It will be released next Wed on 2nd Dec & this comes barely less than a month since the release of their previous single sea-through communication .
The song is a rock tune which was recorded with the supervision of Kamiyama Kenji during in the recording process & is chosen to serve as the theme song to the movie of the anime Higashi no Eden , called Higashi no Eden Gekijouban I The King of Eden .
In fact , their major debut single futuristic imagination was used as the ending theme for Higashi no Eden & the movie is scheduled to hit theaters in Japan on November 28th .
For me , what draws me to light prayer is the fast paced of guitar riffs going on in the tune . light prayer's obviously more guitar driven as compared to sea-through communication & also brings back the guys & girl to a less mainstream style that they have adopted which I like .
The following songs serve as B-sides in the light prayer single :
- deviswitch
- sea-through communication-sung in English with symphony-

Kanjani∞ - Fuyu Koi (Winter Love)
Fuyu Koi (Winter Love) is a song taken from Kanjani∞'s upcoming 11th single GIFT - Shiro - which will be out on 23rd Dec .
The guys will be releasing 3 singles within 3 days during the Christmas week as follows & all 3 are deemed limited releases just like what happened to LANDS's BANDAGE & KAT-TUN's White X'mas singles :
GIFT - Shiro - --- 23rd Dec
GIFT - Aka - --- 24th Dec
GIFT - Midori - --- 25th Dec
All the 3 GIFT singles contain a total of 7 songs & for GIFT - Shiro -'s case , there're 2 songs in which the 1st one's Fuyu Koi while the 2nd no.'s Kimi no Uta wo Utau (I Sing Your Song) .
The 3 GIFT singles trilogy's being released in conjunction with their upcoming countdown concerts which will take place at Kyocera Dome in Osaka next month on Dec 30th & 31st & also on Jan 1st 2010 .
Yokoyama You & Murakami Shingo played Fuyu Koi on their radio show Kanjani Eight Yokoyama You – Murakami Shingo no Recomen ! last Thurs & even before you listen to Fuyu Koi , you can sense that the song's a ballad & it's indeed .
Despite the radio rip quality , Fuyu Koi is really gorgeous & beautiful . The most recent ballad I can compare Fuyu Koi against it is the 3rd B-side of their last single Kyu☆Jou☆Show !! ie. Hitotsu no Uta (Only Song) .
The last ballad the guys released as a single was Osaka Romanesque which was the 2nd A-side of their 4th single Osaka Obachan ROCK / Osaka Romanesque so I'm really happy that they have return back to release another fantastic ballad as part of their GIFT - Shiro - single / 3 GIFT singles trilogy after releasing a string of crazy whack over the top tunes .
The 2nd song found in GIFT - Shiro - ie. Kimi no Uta wo Utau will be reviewed in due time .

MAGIC is JRock duo B'z's 17th album . It was released last Wed on 18th Nov & this comes in 2 years since their last album ACTION !
The duo's latest album contains 2 singles . MAGIC debuted at #1 with 1st week sales of 340,630 which's even higher than the 1st week sales collected by ACTION ! ie. 292,687 copies .
All lyrics in MAGIC were written by lead singer Koshi Inaba while all music were composed by guitarist Tak Matsumoto .
The opening track Introduction was a guitar instrumental requested by Koshi once the rest of the album had been completed .
This track was designed to merge into the opening of the second track DIVE which had previously been on the album's first single .
The slow tempo opening of the single version was removed to provide a more seamless crossover from the end of the introduction track .
DIVE is of course the 2nd A-side of their 46th single Ichibu to Zenbu (One & All) / DIVE which was released on 5th Aug this year & it was used to promote Suzuki's Swift compact car .
Red Hot Chili Peppers's drummer Chad Smith & Mars Volta's bassist Juan Alderete were invited as guest musicians by the duo to play drums & bass for both tunes .
The album version of DIVE is about 18 secs shorter than the single version since the single version's intro was cut off in here in order for Introduction to move into DIVE easily .
Well regardless of the single or album versions of DIVE , I still like both takes of the no. & just like Ichibu to Zenbu , this's a fast & mean rock influenced tune .
Time Flies is MAGIC's 1st album track & this's a less aggressive song unlike DIVE but it's still an upbeat no. & I really like the guitar riffs going on in Time Files .
MY LONELY TOWN is the duo's 47th single & this was released last month on 14th Oct . It's the last single to be included before MAGIC was released .
The song was already played during the duo's most recent B'z SHOWCASE 2009 -B'z In Your Town tour and also as a part of their performance at the popular rock festival SUMMER SONIC '09 in August this year .
Also , this's their 1st single to be released in CD & CD + DVD's editions in their 21st year together in the business .
Despite the fact that somehow I overplayed MY LONELY TOWN to a certain extent , the song never fails to captivate me because I really like the way on how the song started off really mean/kick ass & then somehow it mellowed down in the middle & the cycle goes on .
Also with a touch of classical/violin influence thrown in for good measure , you know you're listening to something that's really solid .
long time no see is the 2nd album track & it was selected as the theme to the upcoming drama Salaryman Kintaro 2 , which is set to begin airing in January 2010 on TV Asahi .
This's yet another fast paced album track just like Time Files but the difference's that it's more upbeat & guitar driven . Not to mention , I can detect a lot more synth going on in long time no see too .
Definitely another great kick ass rock track to watch out for .
Ichibu to Zenbu is the 1st A-side of the duo's 46th single Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE & it was used as the theme song for the drama Buzzer Beat which starred NEWS's Yamashita Tomohisa & Kitagawa Keiko .
I never watched Buzzer Beat but this's the song that kicked start my B'z's music journey as I just absolutely adore how the song sounds . I mentioned before that it sounded like something on what Franz Ferdinand might come up with but obviously B'z does it better with plenty abomb .
I noticed that the album version of Ichibu to Zenbu where it seems that the drums beats are much more louder as compared to the single version . I'm not sure if it's just me or something though but ah well .
PRAY is the 1st album power ballad & it served as the theme song for the movie TAJOMARU .
I was really drawn into PRAY the moment I 1st listened to it . It sounded like the B-side of MY LONELY TOWN ie. Kirei na Namida (Beautiful Tears) but the only difference's for PRAY's case is that it's much more emotional driven & the melody's just so beautiful & really , kudos to both Koshi & Tak for making this song a masterpiece in its own right .
MAGIC shares the same title as the album . I reviewed this song before but that time I only heard a radio rip of the tune .
Now that I have heard the studio/clearer version of the song , I'm fine with it . It's just that I wouldn't really consider MAGIC to be my fave album track .
Mayday ! is track #9 & just like the song title suggest , it's probably those kind of songs you might hear if a disaster's about to strike or something -_- . But jokes aside , it's quite a heart thumping no. for that matter .
TINY DROPS is the 2nd album track that's a power ballad & this was first played on the bayfm radio show .
This's probably the only album track that has a piano driven melody which's very pretty to say the least & lead singer Koshi pretty much conveyed the message of TINY DROPS across the board .
The song's more depressing sounding than PRAY but considering that these 2 tracks are the only power ballads in MAGIC , this's a keeper .
Dare ni mo Ie Nee (Tell Anyone) & Yume no Naka de Aimashou (Let's Meet In A Dream) are the 2 album tracks that I had a bit of a difficulty telling them apart from each other as both of them tend to sound alike .
It took me quite a while to distinguish both songs but at least now I know Yume no Naka de Aimashou is the song that has trumpet beats thrown in for good measures while for Dare ni mo Ie Nee , the guitar riffs are really cool in there .
Freedom Train is the last track you can find in MAGIC . Despite the case , this's actually the 1st song that the guys recorded .
I thought that might be a Kobukuro cover seeing that they had a song which has the same title but thank goodness that's not the case .
Freedom Train's basically a really enpowering no. & as such , I think it's quite fitting for the duo to close things off with this tune .
MAGIC is the 1st B'z album I listened to & I have to say that it's a really solid rock album offering .
Before this , I went with an open mind but I somehow know that the album's going to sound really epic seeing that this's coming from the best selling Japanese act of all time & when you have Tak Matsumoto who was responsible for composing KAT-TUN's debut single Real Face & Real Face #1 , you know what good things you're getting in MAGIC .
The production's really solid & both Koshi & Tak's roles in the group are very well defined & their talents in each field go hand in hand together .
The only thing I wish I heard more from MAGIC is more ballads seeing that out of 13 tracks , only 3 songs are in the ballad department inclusive of MY LONELY TOWN .
It might have been better for the duo to come up with more ballad inspired like tunes in their next single/album seeing that they're versatile in both rock thumping songs & ballads as evident in the ballad version of Ichibu to Zenbu .
But other than that , a solid rock & roll album to check out before 2009 wraps up & looks like I'm officially onboard the B'z's music wagon from now onwards .

abingdon boys school - From Dusk Till Dawn
From Dusk Till Dawn is abingdon boys school's 8th single . It will be released on 16th Dec & this comes in 4 months + since the release of their last single Kimi no Uta (Your Song) .
The band's new song's currently used as the ending theme for the anime DARKER THAN BLACK -Ryūsei no Gemini- which started airing in Oct this year .
Their 2nd single HOWLING was used as the opening theme song to the anime series DARKER THAN BLACK -Kuro no Keiyakusha- .
Also From Dusk Till Dawn's so far their only single release which just contains the A-side which explains on why it's going for a really cheap price/cost of 525 Yen .
I have been waiting for them to release a mid tempo ballad after their 3rd single Nephilim & I finally got my wish in here after listening to From Dusk Till Dawn .
Frontman Takanori just let his vocals work in this soaring uplifting no. coupled with great guitar riffs . It's no Dress nor Nephilim but I can't help but being drawn into the song instantly .
Also , kudos to guitarist Shibasaki for composing such a great melody for From Dusk Till Dawn as well .
The guys seldom do mid tempo tunes which's a pity but they probably should change their mindset in due course when this happens & I hope that analogy will apply to their 2nd album ABINGDON ROAD which will be out on 27th Jan 2010 .
ABINGDON ROAD will consists of 5 singles inclusive of From Dusk Till Dawn , their cover of Luna Sea's Sweetest Coma Again & 6 new album tracks .
This will be their 1st album in nearly 3 years after the release of their self titled debut album 2 years ago on 17th Oct & naturally being such a big fan of this extremely talented rock quartet , this might be the album to kick off 2010 with a great big bang !

Aoyama Thelma - OH BABY Koishitetai (I Want To Fall In Love)
OH BABY Koishitetai (I Want To Fall In Love) is Aoyama Thelma's 1st digital single & it was released last Wed on 18th Nov .
Her new song serves as the theme no. for the drama Mezamashi Doyoubi Mega .
Now this's what I'm talking about ! Despite being her 1st digital single which it should have gotten a physical single release instead , I'm so relieved that Aoyama has returned back to do an upbeat R&B no. after releasing a whole string of mid tempo/ballad no.s after her debut single ONE WAY .
Song wise , OH BABY Koishitetai is real catchy/good which frankly gets extremely addictive after a few listens or so . It's not like I'm Sorry but this's enough for me to keep me satisfied .
Aoyama will be releasing her 1st single of 2010 ie. her 8th single titled Fall in love on 27th Jan 2010 & this no. features Korean boyband BIG BANG's Sol & it's her 2nd collaboration single after Todoketai ... (I Want To Send ...) feat KEN THE 390 .
Fall in love will be released under the billing Aoyama Thelma x SOL from BIGBANG .

Hidemi Uematsu - Baby (Dear Lady's B-side)
Baby is the B-side tune you can find in Hidemi Uematsu's 3rd single Dear Lady which was released on Wed / 18th Nov .
Just like the A-side , the lyrics & music for Baby is solely written/composed by Hidemi herself .
Wow , all I can say's that Baby is a really emotional driven B-side no. . Unlike the A-side where it's quite carefree sounding , you're not getting it for Baby's case .
Hidemi managed to tap in & drew in her emotions while delivering this powerful piano driven song . Her vocals did went over the top in some parts of the song but you can appericate the rawness that's being given off in here .
Hidemi Uematsu never fails to deliver the goods & when she does , she nail every single music aspect downpat & the same thing goes for her latest single Dear Lady too .
I sure hope that she will release her debut album soon . It's kind of long overdue if you ask me .
