Urata Naoya feat. Ayumi Hamasaki dream ON

CDCD+DVD

Dream on is the first solo single of Urata Naoya. He’s one of the AAA singers & he already released a debut album (Turn over) in the start of the year 2009. It’s also the first single that Ayu produce. The covers are really different from what we can see with Ayu. The street fight feeling is really present but we don’t have the feeling that Naoya-kun & Ayu fight against each others. I think they fight against themselves & the life to realize their dream. ^^

Dream ON is the first track. It’s RnB song. Seriously I like it so much. When you listen to it for the first time you say: “ok it’s a simple song, nothing special”. But after the second time you’re addicted. I listened to it a lot of time again & again. The two voices are really great together. & we can hear some notes that Ayu’ll never sing in her own song. It’s a really nice collaboration. I’m very glad. The pv is a battle fight & dance in the American street. I’m not a big fan of that kind of pv.

The second track is a remix called Dream ON (Broken haze remix).

Alan x Kei Fukui Ai wa Chikara

Ai wa chikara is the first collaboration single between Alan & Kei Fukui. The cover is nice but nothing really special.

The song is an opera style song. It’s really impressive to hear Alan’s voice in that kind of song. I really love the mixing between Kei’s & Alan’s voice. I didn’t know before that single Kei Fukui. If I can find his works I’ll listening to them with happiness because his voice is really nice.

5/5

T.M.Revolution Save the one Save the all

CD regular versionCD+DVD limited edition A

CD+DVD limited edition B

Save the one Save the all is the 35^th single of T.M. Revolution. I know this singer with their Gundam seed songs. They’re really so beautiful. The covers for this single are nice but not really special.

Save the one save the all is the only song of this single. The two other tracks are interview of Bleach characters. Save the one Save the all is really similar to the GS period. It’s really a catchy rock song. However, I think there is something missing to be as attractive as Meteor or Invoke.

GIRL NEXT DOOR - Unmei no Shizuku ~Destiny's star~ / Hoshizora Keikaku

CD regular versionCD limited version

CD+DVD

CD+DVD (Live)

Unmei no Shizuku~Destiny’s star~/ Hoshizora Keikaku is the 10^th single of the band Girl Next Door. The covers are better than their previous single in term of originality. I prefer the CD regular version one.

01- Unmei no Shizuku~Destiny’s star~ is an electro pop song. The intro is really nice but the chorus is a bit basic. The pv is a promotion for Ultraman Zero the Movie : Super Deciding Fight ! The Belial Galactic Empire. So it’s not really a good pv. I like the scene is the light boxes. Tthe scene where Chisa is in front of a white background: I don’t really know why they filmed that kind of scene for that pv.

02- Hoshizora Keikaku is really different from the first a-side. Some sound shouts winter. No Xmas but winter. It’s why it remind me a bit their other winter song. I really like this song. The pv is in the same mood that Ready to be a lady: Happy people at a birthday party where everyone sings & dances but the background is a bus & after a big & rich house. I’m really not an addict of this kind of pv. I really hope the next one we’ll be better.

03- Hoshizora Keikaku (Xmas thanks Daddy version) is a nice remix. I really like the Merry Merry Xmas, Happy Xmas that were added on the song. I really like to hear a little solo of guitar.

The others remix are: Be your wings (Hi-NGR Attack Remix) & FRIENDSHIP (BE MY FRIENDS Remix).

Hiroshi KAMIYA - For myself

CDCD+DVD

For myself is the first single of Hiroshi Kamiya. He’s a seiyu. The CD cover is the reason why I take the single. It’s really Xmas atmosphere. The CD+DVD version is not as good as.

01-For myself is a pop song. I don’t know why but a lot of seiyu songs are similar. I mean you can say it’s a seiyu who sing that. So the song is good. I love it even if it’s a really simple song.

02-LIFE is the first b-side. It’s again a dynamic pop song. I prefer For myself than that one.

03-Kizuna is ballad. I don’t like that song. It’s really a boring song. Or maybe it’s his voice in the chorus that really boring.
