I'll start with this ever popular idol boy band from Japan, KAT-TUN formed under Johnny's Entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This single totally rocks. I love every single song they have in this single to bits. 'Real Face' is a really powerful song with strong beat and rock genre. It's a song which has its pace accelerating as it goes by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'GLORIA' is more towards the pop side with fast tempo. You are sure to like it if you like 'Real Face'. 'Will Be All Right' is my favorite track in this single. It has a combination of pop, rock and hip-hop all in one song! Rock verses, hip-hop pre-chorus, pop chorus. And it really blends well, I'm telling you. Unique song!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocking single! You definitely ought to have this single!! High recommendation from me :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-4204104891518859289?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/12/kat-tun-real-face.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/ST52vhb_jtI/AAAAAAAAAh4/MqytYsyu0KQ/s72-c/realfacecover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-2199415849141267809</guid><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-08T22:49:27.522+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Erika</category><title>Erika - Destination Nowhere</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/ST0vnyoGprI/AAAAAAAAAhw/pZ5dZKalU2c/s320/folder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277426698999473842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Erika - Destination Nowhere [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 28 November 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Destination Nowhere&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;ESCAPE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;FREE (overrocket 101007 mix)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Destination Nowhere (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erika 2nd Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Despite the exceptionally weird and ugly album cover, 'Destination Nowhere' is quite a nice song actually. I guess this is where you put the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover' into practice. This song is a medium-paced song with great vocals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'ESCAPE', like 'Fantasy' in her previous single, is a song which will never be in my playlist. Techno-stylish digitalized voice is a big no-no to me. But if I were to compare this with 'Fantasy', I'd have to say that this is slightly on the better side. It's not as monotonous as the latter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I usually despise remix versions of songs. So the remixed version of 'FREE' is not an exception. I'd say to go for the studio version.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This single is no better than the previous single but 'Destination Nowhere' is my favorite Erika song in these 2 singles. What say you? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-2199415849141267809?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/12/erika-destination-nowhere.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/ST0vnyoGprI/AAAAAAAAAhw/pZ5dZKalU2c/s72-c/folder.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-4412417343508888057</guid><pubDate>Sun, 07 Dec 2008 13:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-08T22:33:23.953+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Erika</category><title>Erika - FREE</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/ST0d_6p9FJI/AAAAAAAAAho/MEsYglp2d6I/s320/folder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277407322262279314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Erika - FREE [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 4 July 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;FREE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Fantasy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Time to go home&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;FREE (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erika 1st Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sawajiri Erika's (沢尻 エリカ) 1st single under her name, after the success of her previous single under her alias, Kaoru Amane for the Jdrama 'taiyou no uta' (タイヨウのうた). This single actually peaked #1 in the Oricon Singles charts on the day of its release, and it sustained its spot for the weekly charts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'FREE' is quite a nice song sounding like pop rock. I believe Erika's voice actually improved since her previous single. Must have underwent loads of training since then &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;*chuckles*&lt;/span&gt;. It's either that, or the noisy background music actually covered for her mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't quite like 'Fantasy'. Anything which sounds techno style is out of my playlist. And this song is one of them. It's too techno style, Erika's voice was digitalized throughout the whole song. I wonder, is that a tactic to cover for her not-so-professional voice? Another thing is that I can't actually distinguish between the verses and chorus. Monotonous song, if you ask me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Time to go home' also is more towards the pop rock genre so it's a green light for me. But I still find 'FREE' a little better than this song, though. Yet again, perhaps it's just a personal preference thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Definitely an improvement from Erika so you guys can give it a try if you're a fan of hers or if you liked her previous single :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-4412417343508888057?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/12/erika-free.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/ST0d_6p9FJI/AAAAAAAAAho/MEsYglp2d6I/s72-c/folder.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-9053849838485809663</guid><pubDate>Sat, 06 Dec 2008 03:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-06T11:38:16.485+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Kaoru Amane</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Erika</category><title>Kaoru Amane - taiyou no uta</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 316px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STnuYXHBNQI/AAAAAAAAAhg/y7M4FHhTahs/s320/Cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276510540728972546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Kaoru Amane - taiyou no uta [Single]&lt;br /&gt;Kaoru Amane - タイヨウのうた&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 30 August 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;taiyou no uta - タイヨウのうた&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Stay with me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;taiyou no uta (acoustic version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Stay with me (acoustic version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;wish (original instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;taiyou no uta (instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Stay with me (instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Since I mentioned Sawajiri Erika (沢尻 エリカ) in my previous posts, I now present to you Erika's debut single under her alias in music industry, Kaoru Amane. I must say, Erika's first step into the music industry was a really huge leap, after starring in the Summer 2006 J-drama under the same title, taiyou no uta (タイヨウのうた). It topped the Oricon singles, positioning #1 for the daily, weekly AND monthly charts. It went into the #10 spot for the yearly Oricon singles chart, which was definitely a good start for a debut single, coming from someone who had no background in music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on to the review, 'taiyou no uta' is a real good song, I must say. Erika's voice may not be all that good, but since the composition of the song was fabulous, no one was really bothered by the fact that she did not hit the correct notes at times throughout the whole song. It's a song which would definitely make you addicted to it from the very first time you listen to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Stay with me' is not as good as 'taiyou no uta' but it isn't half bad. Yet again, Erika's voice wasn't really that enchanting, but it's fair enough :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing much to comment on the acoustic and instrumental versions of those songs. Why don't you judge them for yourselves? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;P/S: In case you didn't know, these songs were used in the drama she acted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-9053849838485809663?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/12/kaoru-amane-taiyou-no-uta.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STnuYXHBNQI/AAAAAAAAAhg/y7M4FHhTahs/s72-c/Cover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-3736669956103720260</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 Dec 2008 16:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-05T01:22:03.448+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - MY SHORT STORIES</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STgL5UxrlbI/AAAAAAAAAhY/K9cydUYbTcg/s320/cover-yui-my-short-stories-01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275980042922071474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - MY SHORT STORIES [Compilation Album]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 12 November 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I'll be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Help&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Last Train&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Winter Hot Music&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Jam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Skyline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Free Bird&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I wanna be...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Oh My God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Cloudy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Driving today&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12.&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt; Understand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;crossroad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;It's happy line&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Why me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 1st Compilation Album&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As mentioned just right above, this is YUI's 1st compilation album, comprising of all B-side tracks from her past singles, as well as one new track, 'I'll be'. With that said, I guess there's nothing much more to comment as I've done so in my previous entries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regarding 'I'll be', I think it's not really that fantastic of a song till you'll actually splash money to get this whole album if you already have a collection of her singles and studio albums. I'd give it a so-so rating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides liking the CD cover, as a YUI fan, this album was a real letdown to me. I may be wrong. What about you? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-3736669956103720260?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/12/yui-my-short-stories.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STgL5UxrlbI/AAAAAAAAAhY/K9cydUYbTcg/s72-c/cover-yui-my-short-stories-01.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-411534738965680413</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-04T00:20:30.621+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - SUMMER SONG</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STavQD03J4I/AAAAAAAAAhI/Bx9g1U_NMXA/s320/CD.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275596703950907266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - SUMMER SONG [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 2 July 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;SUMMER SONG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Oh My God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Laugh away (YUI Acoustic Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;SUMMER SONG (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 12th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What about this single? The title says it all. 'SUMMER SONG' sounds really special with it's summer-like genre. I just love the way YUI picked the guitar in the song, especially right before the chorus. This cheerful song really makes one think of summer season :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Oh My God' sounds a little ordinary compared to 'SUMMER SONG' but listening to it still does bring back nostalgic summer memories in Japan somehow. Perhaps the influence of the title of the single? I don't know :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acoustic version of 'Laugh away' sounds very much like the studio version so there's nothing much to comment about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A really special single from YUI released during summer, dedicating happy summer holidays to YUI fans out there!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-411534738965680413?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/12/yui-summer-song.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STavQD03J4I/AAAAAAAAAhI/Bx9g1U_NMXA/s72-c/CD.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-4500221496162015999</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-03T14:05:05.700+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - I LOVED YESTERDAY</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STVq4XC-vuI/AAAAAAAAAhA/MPTBCB7lYEc/s320/23447_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275240055026138850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - I LOVED YESTERDAY [Album]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 9 April 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Laugh away&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;My Generation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Find me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;No way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Namidairo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Daydreamer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Love is all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I will love you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;We will go&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;OH YEAH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;My friend&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;LOVE &amp;amp; TRUTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Am I wrong?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 3rd Album&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This album is so cool, I can hardly name you a song which I don't like. But of course, a review won't be a review without some comments, no? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel that this whole album is so totally YUI's style, it's her genre. There's basically no slow songs which would put you to sleep, although there is one particular song which I don't find that amazing. That has got to be 'We will go'. I can't really describe why I don't like it, I suppose it's just a personal feeling &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;*chuckles*&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love the song 'No way' the most, but sadly, it spans only over a minute. If only she had made it longer, I would listen to it everyday till my eardrums burst! :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conclusion? What are you waiting for?

It's the best slow song I've heard from YUI ever. I just love the whole arrangement, this song in my opinion, is flawless. From the verses, to the chorus and bridge, everything sounds perfect :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I wanna be...' is at a slightly faster pace and it's not disappointing as well. I just love YUI's songs which has obvious guitar accompaniments, and this song is one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the acoustic version of 'LOVE &amp;amp; TRUTH', I believe it sounds better than the studio version. I guess YUI's voice matched the accompaniments better here than the noisy background music in the previous single.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a nutshell, 5 stars aren't enough to rate this terrific single! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-3755844215239147830?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/12/yui-namidairo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STQcP4hxvhI/AAAAAAAAAg4/UM7Bs2p05Qw/s72-c/cover2.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-8856503152521656831</guid><pubDate>Sun, 30 Nov 2008 16:48:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-01T01:08:23.104+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - LOVE &amp; TRUTH</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STLD7g5PzdI/AAAAAAAAAgg/me4SFbFhKt0/s320/yui.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274493540814015954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - LOVE &amp;amp; TRUTH [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 29 September 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;LOVE &amp;amp; TRUTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Jam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;My Generation (YUI Accoustic Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;LOVE &amp;amp; TRUTH (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 10th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;'LOVE &amp;amp; TRUTH' was used in the Japanese movie 'Closed Note' starring Sawajiri Erika, an actress I have mentioned earlier in the post '&lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-good-bye-days.html"&gt;Good-bye days&lt;/a&gt;'. To be honest, I don't really like this song. I just don't find it YUI's style. But I guess one will get used it after listening to it several times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think YUI performed 'Jam' better than the A-side track. It sounds more like her style with the electric and accoustic guitars playing in the background. But it's still not that fantastic as I don't really find anything outstanding about this song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accoustic version of 'My Generation' isn't bad but I feel that the background is way too quiet when she sings the verses. It goes all normal again during the pre-chorus and chorus though~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This single is definitely not up to YUI's usual standard but oh well, everyone has their ups and downs :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-8856503152521656831?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/12/yui-love-truth.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STLD7g5PzdI/AAAAAAAAAgg/me4SFbFhKt0/s72-c/yui.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-3860774440154538566</guid><pubDate>Sat, 29 Nov 2008 17:58:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-30T02:13:38.788+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - My Generation/Understand</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STGDKAe327I/AAAAAAAAAeI/zdAVrqGQi1o/s320/cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274140846578981810" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - My Generation/Understand [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 13 June 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;My Generation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Understand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;CHE.R.RY (YUI Accoustic Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;My Generation (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 9th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Double-A single by YUI! 'My Generation' is fantastic. It totally rocks out of this world with YUI's guitar skills. 'Understand' despite being a slow song, it isn't half bad, really. As I have mentioned earlier, I suppose YUI must have started picking up some good sense for composing slow songs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The accoustic version of CHE.R.RY sounds really cute with accoustic guitar. YUI's solo voice is clearer in this version of this song as there are lesser backup vocalists. Definitely not disappointing at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, two thumbs up with your hands flying in the air for this superb single!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-3860774440154538566?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-my-generationunderstand.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/STGDKAe327I/AAAAAAAAAeI/zdAVrqGQi1o/s72-c/cover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-1030618652089504298</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Nov 2008 16:52:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-29T01:17:33.933+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mika Nakashima</category><title>Mika Nakashima - ORION</title><description>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273737550875171138" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 280px; height: 320px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0dfyZYSp_oI/STAUXG6NmUI/AAAAAAAAAV0/YiO7giMR1_I/s320/mika+-+orion.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Mika Nakashima - ORION [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 12 November 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;ORION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FOCUS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;3. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;ORION (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;FOCUS (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;Mika Nakashima 27th Single&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The song 'ORION' is a ballad song which was used as an insert song for the drama Ryūsei no Kizuna currently airing in Japan in which Mika Nakashima have a small role in. The music video features Toda Erika. 'FOCUS' was used for Canon IXY DIGITAL 920IS commercial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I personally prefer 'ORION', one of her best ballad song. The lyrics are great and touching as well. 'FOCUS' is more of a dancy and energetic song. I highly recommend 'ORION' for Ryūsei no Kizuna's fans.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273752859521616178" style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right; width: 124px; height: 53px;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0dfyZYSp_oI/STAiSMD8iTI/AAAAAAAAAWc/ZW2Kc7Dwv8E/s320/waiteng.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-1030618652089504298?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/mika-nakashima-orion-single-release.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (:: Wai Teng ::)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0dfyZYSp_oI/STAUXG6NmUI/AAAAAAAAAV0/YiO7giMR1_I/s72-c/mika+-+orion.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-5516935864922121733</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Nov 2008 21:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-28T05:41:10.592+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - CAN'T BUY MY LOVE</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SS8QA4taoSI/AAAAAAAAAd4/HjT6yJsGEbk/s320/Cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273451296083058978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - CAN'T BUY MY LOVE [Album]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 4 April 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;How crazy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Rolling star&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;It's all right&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I remember you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;RUIDO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;CHE.R.RY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Thank you My teens&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Umbrella&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Highway chance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Happy Birthday to you you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Winding road&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Good-bye days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Why&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;YUI 2nd Album&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A better studio album compared to the 1st album '&lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot/com/2008/11/yui-from-me-to-you.html"&gt;From Me to You&lt;/a&gt;' in my opinion. Once again, I'll just touch on a few specific ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'RUIDO' is a really short track spanning less than a minute but I think it sounds really cute in a way. If you were to ask me to name a track which I don't like most in this album, it would definitely be 'Umbrella'. No, it's not that chart-topping 'Umbrella' by Rihanna which most people oh-so-love, it's YUI's version of it which sounds peculiarly Spanish-like, it lost it's Japanese music touch to the song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Why' is the slowest track in this album but I believe YUI's touch for slow songs has improved a little. The verses are still a bit boring and monotonous, but the chorus made up for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others are pretty cool as usual, with special attention to 'How crazy'. That has gotta be my favorite track in this album.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-5516935864922121733?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-cant-buy-my-love.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SS8QA4taoSI/AAAAAAAAAd4/HjT6yJsGEbk/s72-c/Cover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-3320587365363120166</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2008 19:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-27T03:57:12.577+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - CHE.R.RY</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 281px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SS2nW-PJYAI/AAAAAAAAAdo/-ILUjnne6yI/s320/cherry_cd.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273054751826206722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - CHE.R.RY [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 7 March 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;CHE.R.RY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Driving today&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Rolling star (YUI Accoustic Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;CHE.R.RY (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;YUI 8th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Another cool single from my all-time favorite YUI! 'CHE.R.RY' is a fast-paced song with great vocals. Despite having a simple melody, I found that the instruments blended well with the song. Definitely a song which would be in my everyday playlist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Driving today' is a medium-paced song. Don't really like this song though as I find the melody kinda monotonous. Yet again, like a lullaby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The accoustic version of 'Rolling star' wasn't disappointing! Lovely song without the electric guitars playing in the background. What more with YUI's enchanting voice~ It's just as good as the studio version with a quieter background :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I highly recommend especially 'CHE.R.RY' to you guys! :D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-3320587365363120166?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-cherry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SS2nW-PJYAI/AAAAAAAAAdo/-ILUjnne6yI/s72-c/cherry_cd.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-6004097445842964881</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2008 10:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-27T03:56:13.369+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - Rolling star</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 280px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SS0j7sQ1jCI/AAAAAAAAAdg/hJGSjAxmeBw/s320/yuiqa5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272910247121751074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - Rolling star [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 17 January 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Rolling star&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Winter Hot Music&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I remember you (YUI Accoustic Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Rolling star (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;YUI 7th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Whether you're a fan of the anime 'Bleach' or not, I'm pretty sure you'd get addicted to 'Rolling star' somehow or other. It's more towards the genre of J-rock which is why I likey :D. This song was used as the 5th opening song of the anime in accordance to '&lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-life.html"&gt;LIFE&lt;/a&gt;' which was used as the 5th ending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Winter Hot Music' is a fairly short track spanning only slightly over 3 minutes. A not-so-good B-side track from YUI. Really simple melody with slow tempo, it's totally contrasting if you were to compare it with 'Rolling star'. While 'Rolling star' makes people jump and dance to the tune, 'Winter Hot Music' puts people to sleep as it sounds like a lullaby (well to me, at least).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The accoustic version of 'I remember you' sounds very similar to the studio version. I can barely distinguish the difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, superb A-side track.

Although I don't really have a thing for slow songs, I believe this is slightly better than '&lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-tokyo.html"&gt;TOKYO&lt;/a&gt;'. Can't say that one will go crazy over this song though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Cloudy' has a faster tempo compared to 'I remember you' and it sounds nicer in my opinion. But it still can't be compared with the previous singles B-side tracks like '&lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-life.html"&gt;crossroad&lt;/a&gt;', '&lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot/com/2008/11/yui-tomorrows-way.html"&gt;Last Train&lt;/a&gt;' and '&lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-tokyo.html"&gt;HELP&lt;/a&gt;' which were definitely much better than this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accoustic version of 'Good-bye days' is not disappointing, but it doesn't have as much impact as it does in comparison to the studio version.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, a little bit of a letdown to YUI fans.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-1803883912795326133?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-i-remember-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSuRwUM1TFI/AAAAAAAAAdY/WrKeJXqO5M8/s72-c/08Irememberyouv.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-4870200658385683179</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Nov 2008 05:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-26T18:26:08.054+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - Good-bye days</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 281px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSuLWMaa88I/AAAAAAAAAdQ/7Xo10soIDYY/s320/yui.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272461002172724162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - Good-bye days [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 14 June 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Good-bye days&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Skyline&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;It's Happy Line&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Good-bye days (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 5th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yet another favorite from YUI's discography! Heck, this was when I started listening to YUI. From the film adaptation 'Midnight Sun (タイヨウのうた)' where she played the leading role of Kaoru Amane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I so totally heart 'Good-bye days'. In terms of the melody, I think it's just as good as Sawajiri Erika's version of 'Taiyou no Uta' for the drama with the exact same name, about a month after YUI's debut in filming. But as for the voice... Needless to say, YUI is way off better than Erika.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both 'Skyline' and 'It's Happy Line' were used as insert songs in the movie. Cheerful and lively, I especially loved 'Skyline' which matched the scenes in the movie superbly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highly recommended! And do take a peek at her movie to see her talents in acting as well! :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-4870200658385683179?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-good-bye-days.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSuLWMaa88I/AAAAAAAAAdQ/7Xo10soIDYY/s72-c/yui.bmp" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-347268880877727481</guid><pubDate>Sun, 23 Nov 2008 04:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-25T13:10:23.606+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - From Me to You</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSt5iPmMQ3I/AAAAAAAAAdI/Ka1NU5NXLPA/s320/cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272441417976529778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - From Me to You [Album]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 22 February 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Merry・Go・Round&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;feel my soul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Ready to Love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Swing of Lie&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;LIFE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Blue Wind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I Can't Say&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Simply White&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Just My Way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Tomorrow's way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;I Know&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;TOKYO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Spiral &amp;amp; Escape&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;YUI 1st Album&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Won't comment on the songs which have appeared in her first 5 singles. It's a cool album with great songs but I'll just touch on a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracks 1, 3 and 7 are my favorites in this album, particularly track 3, loving especially the guitar strums. A song with a fairly simple flowing melody suitable for leisure listening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Track 4 is one which I kinda dislike in this album. In my opinion, the chorus doesn't really go well with the verses. The bridge sounds as if she's singing a whole new different song for a moment. Track 13 has a really unique melody to it worth listening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dedicated to all YUI fans out there worldwide!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-347268880877727481?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-from-me-to-you.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSt5iPmMQ3I/AAAAAAAAAdI/Ka1NU5NXLPA/s72-c/cover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-3391257643086646564</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-26T18:26:31.699+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - TOKYO</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 285px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSVLhiTXgqI/AAAAAAAAAcw/tyjqfJ6fT1E/s320/cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270701978422837922" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - TOKYO [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 18 January 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;TOKYO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;HELP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;LIFE (YUI Accoustic Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;TOKYO (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 4th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I don't find 'TOKYO' that amazing as like I have said earlier, I just don't have a spot for slow tempo songs. To be frank, this song bores me a little as we don't really get to hear YUI's forte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'HELP' brightens the atmosphere a little with a slightly faster tempo and a catchy tune. In my opinion, I prefer this B-side track compared to 'TOKYO'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Track 3, I have to say, I love this accoustic version just as much as the original version. Previous singles having accoustic versions of the other songs are usually not as nice as the original version, but this is different. It's really unique, you should give it a try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice single altogether, but the A-side track is a teeny weeny bit of a letdown.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-3391257643086646564?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-tokyo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSVLhiTXgqI/AAAAAAAAAcw/tyjqfJ6fT1E/s72-c/cover.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-5292004163834790672</guid><pubDate>Wed, 19 Nov 2008 15:34:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-26T18:26:46.527+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - LIFE</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 277px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSQ18iP707I/AAAAAAAAAco/7UDpNWudI_E/s320/yui+life.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270396778032386994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - LIFE [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 9 November 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;LIFE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;crossroad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Tomorrow's way (YUI Accoustic Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;LIFE (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 3rd Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is one of my favorite YUI singles so far. I just love the opening for 'LIFE' which was used as the 5th ending theme for the famous anime 'Bleach'. The melody for 'LIFE' is really unique and it really captivated me from the very first time I heard it. This was in fact the song which made YUI recognized internationally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the 2nd track 'crossroad', it's one of the best B-side tracks in all her singles up till now. The tempo is almost similar to 'LIFE', keeping the song upbeat and her voice was really perfect for songs like those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, nothing much to comment on the accoustic version, the original version is much better in my opinion as I never really particularly took this song to my liking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, a fantastic single which is by far one of YUI's best!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-5292004163834790672?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-life.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSQ18iP707I/AAAAAAAAAco/7UDpNWudI_E/s72-c/yui+life.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-369332581110526083</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-26T18:27:07.886+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - Tomorrow's way</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 274px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSOC1zRxcbI/AAAAAAAAAcY/ssRkzQf3nNM/s320/yui2.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270199849763041714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - Tomorrow's way [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 22 June 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Tomorrow's way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Last Train&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;feel my soul (YUI Accoustic Version)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Tomorrow's way (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;YUI 2nd Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I'd give Track 1 a so-so rating. Wouldn't say it's really nice yet it's not bad. I suppose it was partly due to YUI's pitch being a little too high (during the chorus). On the other hand, I very much prefer Track 2. I believe it stands out better compared to Track 1. But I think that the drums overdid a little in the song. I could hear drums more than anything in that song! Nothing much to comment on Track 3 as it's almost the same as her previous single, just that it's accompanied with guitar and nothing else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd still give this album a thumbs up. Better choice of songs than her previous single :).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-369332581110526083?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-tomorrows-way.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSOC1zRxcbI/AAAAAAAAAcY/ssRkzQf3nNM/s72-c/yui2.bmp" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-2181041923691188165</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Nov 2008 04:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-26T18:27:39.697+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">YUI</category><title>YUI - feel my soul</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSDxcxAvphI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/eSq53Q8AQyQ/s320/feelmysoul.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269477040518571538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;YUI - feel my soul [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 23 February 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;feel my soul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Free Bird&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Why me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;feel my soul (Instrumental)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUI 1st Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Track 1 sounds wonderful with YUI's talent in guitar. Love her strumming in this song. As for Tracks 2 and 3, I'm not really impressed with them as I find that the chords chosen to be played with the songs aren't that nice. It sounds a little weird. Lol. The tempo of Track 3 is kinda slow for my liking too. A little too flat, in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh well, I'm sure YUI fans would still go for this single for collection purposes anyway.

YUI was one of the first Japanese singers I've listened to before I started gaining interest in Japanese music. I was captivated by her guitar strumming and singing from her movie 'Taiyou no Uta (&lt;span style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span class="t_nihongo_kanji" lang="ja"&gt;タイヨウのうた) where she took the leading role.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is her debut single. She sang these 2 songs out of the 3 songs she performed for her audition hosted by Sony Music Japan. During the audition, 'I Know' was incomplete at that time, so she hummed nonsensical English to the tune while accompanying with her guitar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This single was actually limited to 2,000 copies only but the songs were later on included in her 6th single 'Good-bye Days' and debut album 'From Me to You' respectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My opinion? I've always liked YUI's compositions and her unique voice when singing. So I'd definitely recommend this single to you! Enjoy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-1189440776102924353?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/yui-its-happy-line.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SR-DF85mPAI/AAAAAAAAAcI/bMHBbVdl86A/s72-c/yuihappyline.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-3309499872314680022</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Nov 2008 04:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-25T13:14:50.857+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">1 Liter of Tears</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Remioromen</category><title>Remioromen - Konayuki</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 250px; height: 251px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SR5TUHsA-SI/AAAAAAAAAcA/7hWrInXLEms/s320/25tfecy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268740219196209442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Remioromen - Konayuki [Single]&lt;br /&gt;レミオロメン - 粉雪&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 16 November 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Konayuki - 粉雪&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;No Border&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;3/9 with Quartet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remioromen (レミオロメン) 8th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The final installment of the 1 Liter of Tears OST series! Track 1 is the best in this single, without a doubt. If compared to &lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/remioromen-3gatsu-9ka.html"&gt;3gatsu 9ka (3月9日)&lt;/a&gt;, I'd have to say I'd prefer this song anytime as it has more beat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Track 2 is not half bad as well as it's a  fast-beat cheerful song. Track 3 is  &lt;a href="http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/remioromen-3gatsu-9ka.html"&gt;3gatsu 9ka (3月9日)&lt;/a&gt; with strings orchestra and piano. Song's nice but I found the tone a little dull without drums. The song would be really suitable for peaceful moments though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion, this whole single is great!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-3309499872314680022?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/remioromen-konayuki.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SR5TUHsA-SI/AAAAAAAAAcA/7hWrInXLEms/s72-c/25tfecy.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-3733060175012100204</guid><pubDate>Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-25T13:16:13.106+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">1 Liter of Tears</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Remioromen</category><title>Remioromen - 3gatsu 9ka</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 262px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SRx4ENmmJyI/AAAAAAAAAbw/n_7q5t7noOw/s320/nl20y0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268217677882992418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Remioromen - 3gatsu 9ka [Single]&lt;br /&gt;レミオロメン - 　3月9日&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 9 March 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;3gatsu 9ka - 3月9日&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Nichiyoubi - 日曜日&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remioromen (レミオロメン) 3rd Single.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Yet another album from 1 Liter of Tears, but this time with Remioromen (レミオロメン) as the artiste! This song was used as the choir song for Ikeuchi Aya's class in the drama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's more of J-rock genre although it's not really that noisy. Some people even commented that they sound more like reciting a poem than singing. Sorta like Jay Chou style when he used to be mumbling instead of singing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite those comments on Remioromen's (レミオロメン) style of singing, I still have to say that the 1st track is a great song. Yet again, dedicated to all those 1 Liter of Tears fans out there!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; width: 96px; height: 67px;" src="http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d33/ffxyunajo/C967F251A022DFE870E8E2A6DEF9B6C8.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1179291096024795287-3733060175012100204?l=jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://jmusic-n2zs.blogspot.com/2008/11/remioromen-3gatsu-9ka.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Mediocre Me-♪)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SRx4ENmmJyI/AAAAAAAAAbw/n_7q5t7noOw/s72-c/nl20y0.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1179291096024795287.post-3076910101176342144</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-25T13:18:35.363+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">K</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">1 Liter of Tears</category><title>K - Only Human</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; width: 320px; height: 283px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_evAMmE-K4hQ/SSOHpuWk0RI/AAAAAAAAAcg/X-VzzXlad2M/s320/konlyhu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270205139840717074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;K - Only Human [Single]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Release Date: 23 November 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tracklistings:&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Only Human&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Together Forever&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Steppin' Out&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;Only Human (less vocal)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;K 4th Single&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Another album from the drama '1 Liter of Tears'.
