Merry Christmas

MERRY XMAS everybody!

I hope everyone have a nice Xmas eve yesterday! This year, we don't have a white xmas. It's like the sky give every snowflakes last year.

I'll post a pic of the present I received later. My sister offered me a manga & my parents boots. I need to buy the boot again. Indeed, If someone want to offer me clothes or shoes, I prefer to try it.

mihimaru GT Evo★Revolution

CDCD+DVD

Evo★Revolution is the 26th single of mihimaru GT. It’s the second masterpiece of this 2011 year. The covers are nice. You can see HIROKO & Miyake above what it looks as toys. I really like the combination of coloured things & space background.

01. Evo★Revolution is the first track of this nice single. It’s a pop song where you can hear some Jazzy sounds play by trumpet. The chorus is really catchy! This song is really amazing! The pv is stunning. You get in a traditional Japanese house full. Princess HIROKO wears beautiful outfits: one in a Japanese style, the other in a rockfish style. I won’t tell the story. Just watch it if you want to know!

02. Ai no hikari is the b-side. It’s a ballad. Personally, I think it’s a nice ballad but it’s really not original. But, as it’s a b-side, I don’t really mind!

Alan Minna de ne ~PANDA with Candy BEAR's~/Ikiru

CDCD+DVD

Candy Bear version

Minna de ne~PANDA with Candy BEAR’s/Ikiru is the 15^th single of Alan. I was totally surprised to see her singing a song with cute panda. The covers are nice but I don’t feel the link with her songs. The first song sounds happy but she only looks fierce...no smile. However she says Hello & welcome in her songs? It’s the only thing that bother me about the covers.

01. Minna de ne~Panda with Candy BEAR’s is the first A-side. IT’s a pop song. You can hear some beautiful note that Alan usually sing in her first songs. I miss her debut so much! As it’s a song for children, you can hear children who talk & laughs. The first time I listened to it I feel as this song don’t fit the pv & that childish feeling. For me a song for kids, it’s a song that can be singing easily. In fact, boku wa kuma by Utada Hikaru comes in my mind when I think about a song for children. However, if you put away the pv & the title, Minna de ne is a beautiful song.

02. Ikiru is the second a-side of the single. It’s a ballad. Personally, I would prefer to hear that kind of ballad that she created during her debut year. But I feel as she’ll never do such song again! Ikiru stay a good song. It sweet & have a nice sound. The only negative point is the pv. Really boring. I saw it one time & I forget it!

Namie Amuro NAKED/Fight Together/ Tempest

CDCD+DVD

NAKED/Fight Together/Tempest is the last triple A side single of Namie Amuro. If I’m right I thought it’s her 37^th single. The covers are so-so. I like the gargoyle idea but the background is really awful! It would be better with a true sky. Maybe a night sky?

01. NAKED is the first track. It’s the track I like the least of this single. The verse are ok but the chorus are really boring. I don’t like the pv too. Even if her outfits are pretty cool, it’s just another choreography pv for me.

02. Fight Together is an electro pop song. It was used as the ending of ONE PIECE. This one is better than NAKED. However it’s really repetitive & a bit boring at the end.

03. Tempest closes this single. It’s a ballad. Amuro’s voice is really powerful. She sings that beautiful song. The arrangements are wonderful. I’m sure it would be great in live with a big orchestra. I hope we’ll be able to see that one day! The pv is not really great. You only see Namie singing in front of a monochrome background, the wind blows!! Really nothing special for that nice song.

AAA No Cry No More

CDCD+DVD (A version)CD+DVD (B version)

No cry No more is the 28^th single of AAA & the first one of 2011. The covers are really simple with a summer blue background. It’s not my favourite covers of them.

01. No cry No more is the first track of the single. When I heard the beginning of the song I thought It was really similar to their others song. In fact, only the chorus is similar. The others parts of the song are really different. The song is not repetitive. You forget the common chorus easily. I really love this song. Before I understand what’s happened to me I already was an addict of No cry No more. The pv is really is really simple but not bad. I really love the stage with the flag. I don’t know really why but I think it’s cool.

02. ID is the first b-side. It’s a refreshing upbeat song. Sometimes, the voices are not loud enough! The chorus & the rapping part are nice. However, ID misses something to be perfect. I don’t know why.

03. SUNSHINE (2011 version) is a cover of AAA’s song SUNSHINE. Only the end of the song is different of the original one. Personally, both songs are judged as equals.

Miliyah Kato DESIRE/ BABY!BABY!BABY!

CDCD+DVD

Miliyah Kato released her 21^st single under the title: DESIRE/BABY!BABY!BABY! The covers are not really pretty. I don’t really like the yellow hair on the CD+DVD version. The CD version is my favourite.

01.DESIRE is a pop song with some electro sounds. The chorus is really catchy for verses dynamic & lively! This song is one of her best. The pv is a series of choreographies in different place. I’m not a big fan of it. There is another thing I don’t like: she’s blond. She was really beautiful with her brown hair in Yuisha Tachi!! >.<

02. BABY!BABY!BABY! is a dynamic pop song. You can hear a man who sings some part of the song in African pop song. BABY!x3 is a catchy song too. It’s totally crazy with the more quiet parts & the speed parts. The pv is so crazy & different from what I know about her others pv!

03. Ain’t no other is the only b-side. The song starts with violins. So it breaks with the two a-side of this single. It’s a pop. The sounds free a nervous & angry atmosphere without to be a rock. I really like this song too.
