Lol, I haven't visited in awhile because I was running out of music to upload XD and I didn't want to upload songs by the same artistes that were already posted

[Huaka]

Shimatani Hitomi - Ame Oto

I'm actually a fan of her but I haven't listened to any of her recent stuff, so this is a completely new song to me.

From the beginning notes I knew immediately that this was going to be a laidback mid-tempo/jazz influenced-ish song. Her vocals as always are beautiful. It's a very relaxing song but I wished it had a more stronger chorus to make a bigger impact because it sounds just like the verses and the rest of the song. Because throughout the song she sings with a relatively similiar rhythm, so that would have helped made the song stand out more. I like how the background music increased to a crescendo at the end though.

4/5

YeLLOW Generation - LOST Generation (This is my favorite song from the group)

[Huaka]

Anyone?

[aqua_crystal]

YeLLOW Generation - LOST Generation

Hey, look!! A band I never tried out before!!!! Overall, this song was really really good. I enjoyed the verses and their voices sounded amazing with that paino. Sadly, this song was NOT perfect because I didn't like how they picked up the pace so suddenly in the chorus and the notes they hit didn't fit a times. But I love the singer(s) voice!!! Beautiful. I think I'll try more of their music later on.

Okay..... here's a song that needs reviewing:

RURUTIA- Chou No Mori:

[ka♡ri.]

The song was OK. It was pretty boring to me, though. She has a very nice voice, but I can barely remember the song. O: Sorry~

NEXT SONG:

Flashback~嵐
07 Flashback.m4a - 13.70MB

[Akutenshi]

嵐 - Flashback

I really like the intro instrumental, it's upbeat and catchy, and kind of laidback. The verses are boring, they sound kind of typical, but the chorus is cool and fun. They hit the notes nicely too. The rap and instrumental bridge were unexpected, but in a good way, I thought they added personality to the song, and they flowed very well. The end was really good, I loved that part a lot. Overall, a very good song.

4/5

Aira Mitsuka - GALAXY BOY

[U-GO-BOY]

Aira Mitsuka - GALAXY BOY
I really like the beginning of this song. It's upbeat and very trance-like. It sounds like a song from PERFUME or Suzuki Ami. The song itself is very fresh and fun. The bridge can get annoying after hearing many times because of the very high sounds but besides that the song is very cool.
4.5/5

SuG - LOVE SCREAM PARTY

[Solarblade]

SuG - LOVE SCREAM PARTY

Wow, talk about a great combination of synth and rock! Surprisingly, I usually listen to female singers so I had no clues they were guys until the singing started. Now the guys are so energetic which is definitly something nice to hear other than the the dark bands...y'know like Dir en Grey. The only down side I had with the song is that it's amazingly short which is sad.. Anyway, I'm surprised I actually like it

4.5/5


Kiyommy & Seiya - PINK ROSE

[Huaka]

Kiyommy and Seiya - Pink Rose

I used to play DDR way back when in high school, so I've probably heard of this song before but not the full length track. I like the happy, upbeat music as it really fits the mood of the music, but it does sound a bit dated at time. The vocals leave something to be desired but it's catchy enough to be overlooked.

A sweet song. Not bad.

4/5

SBK - Bash feat. Katase Nana

[octocoffee]

SBK - Bash feat. Katase Nana
The beginning was pretty cool, no lie. I was hooked in by the electro-sounds. When it jumps in with the vocals, I was kind of surprised by the cutesiness, since I've only heard Nana Katase's dance tracks. It's catchy, and reminds me of Leah Dizon's Vanilla, but way better. While cute and pleasant, I just can't find myself listening to it too often. I really can't say why. The chorus is adorable though.

4/5

Niji - Kanon

[Mr. Goto]

Niji - Kanon

What a relaxing song! At first I was kinda underwhelmed by the chorus but by the time I was half way through the song I found my self humming along to it. Her vocals were a nice touch, I love her high notes. My favorite thing about the song is the background vocals, they almost sound angelic like? Overall this is a very nice mellow song. I can see it being the theme to some sort of anime or game.

4/5


Tanpopo - Baby Cry

[Far Away]

Tanpopo - Baby Cry

I knew this song was going to be fun as soon as it started! It has a very pop/rock feel that I love. The chorus is really addicting and I've got "Baby cryyyyy" stuck in my head already. The guitar solo part was seriously cool, I almost wanted to scream "Yeah!" right along with them. Very enjoyable song.

Rating: 4/5

Son Dam Bi - Bad Boy

I personally love reviewing songs, by the way.

[Picaflor 7/4]

*reviving***

Son Dam Bi - Bad Boy
such a cool song. I love the dancyness of it. I love how the song starts off. It already has an upbeat vibe. It has too many symbol kicks in the background but other than that I thought it was really nice. Their voices are soft too. Nothing too loud or sharp to listen to. I think they did a great job on the vocoding too. Very subtle but obvious enough to compliment the song. I don't like the bridge, but it gets really cool again with the heartbeats and goes right back into the chorus. I'd like to hear more instrumental though.

4/5

haa. I am currently addicted to this song. the video is kind of funny.

Kamiji Ryusuke - Kaizokusen (re-uploaded)

[Kanzaki]

Invalid file. I tried searching yt, but the song wasn't there either.

Only asian music? I want to submit something more western-y:

Blue Foundation - This is goodbye

[wildconnetta]

Blue Foundation - This Is Goodbye

It starts off with a boring, monotonous synth. It develops slightly with a bit of strings before all the music quietens down. There is a voice like in a megaphone, and it then has just an acoustic guitar. Then the whole orhcestra thingy comes back, but then it quietens. Then this woman starts singing who has a dreadful accent. The chorus is good, with it's soaring guitar and nice voice. Her voice has a tendency to be flat, lifeless and boring. Wow, 4 minutes through and I am STILL bored. The final chorus includes the orchestra, then it goes back to the woman with the bad voice with the acoustic guitar. Cue more orchestras. Then the woman sings, and it goes back to just guitar. Then it closes with the woman singing 'This is goodbye'

VERDICT: Boring, lifeless, long, unneccesarry.

SO BASICALLY:
2/5


I am in love with this next song:

Kwak Hyun Hwa - Psycho

[Kanzaki]

Couldn't download song here either. Starting to think my pc doesn't like mediafire

I really don't like korean music all that much, but this one had a nice beat and fairly good vocals. About 1:52 minutes into the song I got kind of annoyed, but that was all. I liked it. I want someone to make a remix of it, that could be pretty sick Not a song that's memorable though.

3/5

Nephew - New Year's Morning

Live Version
I was there!

Asian song I'm currently loving:

OLIVIA - Spiderspins

[Far Away]

Spiderspins is one of OLIVIA's best rock songs, in my opinion. There's a certain catchy quality to it, with OLIVIA singing a bunch of "Da da da dum"s in the beginning before going into English where she proclaims "Spiderspins so beautiful!" That part always gets stuck in my head. I really like this song a lot, it's addicting in the way that so many of OLIVIA's songs are.

Rating: 5/5 (Yeah, I went there! )

Cocco - Hane ~lay down my arms

You think? I uploaded it almost a year ago. Anyways, I spelled it wrong I spelled it "Daizokusen" when it should have been "Kaizokusen" and I re-uploaded it in case you want to try it again.

Cocco - Hane ~lay down my arms
Rating: 4/5

It sounds nice. I love the feeling it gives off. I think it would be good as an opening or closing for an anime. It reminds me of summer. It makes me think of something Erika Sawajiri would do. Speaking of which...

Erika Sawajiri - FREE

[Ranma Matsuri]

What a cool idea! This is a great way to introduce people to new or lesser known artists (or even some lesser known tracks by known artists hehe). I'm no music wiz in the slightest but I'll do my best on anything I review. ^^;

Erika Sawajiri: FREE
Rating: 4/5

Really nice song. I love songs that when you have headphones do stuff like have the beat playing in one ear or the guitar fading in and out each side, so that was a positive right off the bat. lol Her vocals are light but strong and I love the guitar. It's light and airy but with the right amount of rock to reel you in. Think I'll keep this one. hehe

-My Choice-

This is one of my favorite songs atm:

Kalafina: Red Moon

[Chiharo]

Kalafina - red moon

rating: 5/5

There's one thing I have to say, I LOVE these kind of songs. I've never heard of kalafina before, and I'm so glad you posted this song because I'm off to download the album right now and watch more PVs of them. Anyway, on to the song, I really ADORE the amazing opening of it, it really sounds mysterious, and the rest of the song doesn't fail to impress me. Other thing I noticed was great were amazing singers that made the song so much better with their deep voices. The music flows nicely and the composition is great. I'm definitely keeping this song and downloading the whole album.

Here's my choice: Namie Amuro - PRIVATE (I love that song so much I think I need to make a shrine to it)
