This channel is for everyone who LOVES !!! Japanese music . It dosen't matter if is jap pop, jazz, rock... etc... you are all welcome for a chat

I like to listen to jap music coz I think they have more soul to thier music and enjoy what they do and I like thier style too and how they present themselves.

I don't about you but, My personal favorites are GLAY(of coures), LUNA SEA, 宇多田光, 矢井田瞳, 椎名林檎, 中島美嘉...... and many more. I usaually like to listen to rock or metal I guess I'm kind of rock'n roll person but, I do occasionally listen to some jap pop like 濱崎步, however I preffer her earlier works like LOVEppers, Fly High, LOVE destiny and M ....etc. I think many people will agree with me on this one.

Well anyway enough of me for now. Pls come and have a chat on my Japanese Music section tell me about your thoughts and maybe we can share infos sometimes.

Like GLAY always says STAY TUNED !!!

能吸引到玉置浩二,久保田利伸,藤井郁彌及Glay的Takuro等日本重量級創作人為其寫歌,都怕且要有天后Misia的分量才可成事,歷來的唱片賣出過千萬張,無論銷量,唱功還是地位都實力過人的Misia,最新大碟又有新嘗試,就是找來7名不同風格的音樂人寫歌,營造了一張如封套的意念,質感不同,多元化,仍不脫個人本色的Misia,
以前本地天后王菲亦推出過這種概念的大碟,今次日本靚聲天后Misia最新大碟(Singer For Singer),正是有星星相惜之意,共10首歌曲,由7位絕對是響噹噹的音樂人為她作曲填詞,一聽到這些名字,自然期待他們與Misia會產生怎樣的火花,結果沒有令人失望,非常動聽,日本樂迷對這張碟的評價亦不俗,
大碟中的頭炮及壓軸之作是出自近年在美國發展,有日本黑人音樂教父之稱的久保伸,Misia渾然奔放的唱功,碰上久保田利伸一貫出色的R&B風格,可謂如魚得水,正如Misia對此曲的感覺(精神爽利)Misia所填的歌詞配合美式曲風,夾雜不少英文歌詞(Holy Hold Me)
緊接是同樣明快但呈現另一風格,由藤井郁彌為她作曲及填詞的(星空的角落),輕快易上口,流行元素極高,
更令人驚喜的是Glay的隊長Takuro,沒有把Misia塑造成搖滾女子,反而為她作曲及填寫了一首(冬季異鄉人),Misia感情溢滿的演繹,引發動人力量,同時,樂隊The Boom主音兼著名監製宮澤和史,為Misia獻上一首別具異地風情的(唯獨缺了你的世界)
玉置浩二亦寫了一首氣氛愉悅的(彩虹的啦啦啦)影星淺野忠信的妻子,樂壇才女Chara亦獻上發揮Misia音域廣闊的作品(Mama Says)都是精心的作品.
不但歌曲可聽度高,唱片設計亦顯見心思,
而封套上正是由不同質料的碎布拼成,但結上黑人辮子的形象,一看便不作他人想了,正正代表不同風格包裝下的Misia,仍然具有個人魅力.

This 3rd album from Utada Hikaru "DEEP RIVER" is one of the best albums I've heard from her so far.
I’m not “HARD SALE” or anything ok! It’s true man!

Although this time it didn't do as well as the first album, but it sold like a few million copies in Japan like they always do for her. CDs. The funny thing about this album is that every track has a nice tune and a good melody to it and this makes it good to listen to. It's highly recommended.

For the art. I 'd like to comment on the CD cover. It's pretty cool how theme is black & white this time and its feels very mysterious when I look through the pictures in CD booklet. All the shots taken from Uatda are so serious looking, it made me kinda nervous actually….. Hahaha just kidding! Well, great photos taken I would say truly the works of art.

For the music. This album starts of with the 1st track "SAKURA DROPS", which is nice ballad song about Sakura of course. This track was first released as a single in spring 2002, perfect time for viewing Sakura in Japan. Then it moves to a faster beat on the 2nd track "TRAVELLING", also featured as a CD single which was a big hit in Japan and then the PV for this song was later broadcast in the USA on the MTV music channel. This is a breakthrough and it made history because it was the first Japanese PV ever shown on the MTV music channel. Pretty great stuff uh ~~~

After the second track, it continues into a more pop like melody songs throughout the rest of the album and then on the 5th track "LETTERS" UTATDA has invited GLAY's lead guitarist HISASHI to join the band and play the acoustic guitar for this song. Since I'm already a huge GLAY fan this crossover song is bloody cool man !!!

Then on the 10th track "FINAL DISTANCE" this is actually a ballad version of the song "DISTANCE" which is from the 2nd album. However the PV for this song is pretty weird I don't know if any one has it…..or has seen it, you would know what I mean.
But the good thing about the "FINAL DISTANCE" PV is that you get to see Utada dressed in a low "V" cut dress for the first time, VERY Sexy I must say.

Finally the last song but not the least "光" this song gives the album a final kick. Coz the start of this song really catches your attention and believe me it will make want to listen more and more….

To sum it up, this album was released about 3 years ago and she hasn't release any Japanese album since then and that is because she has moved her music career to the USA (I don’t know what the HELL for!!!) and she has released her debut English album "EXODUS" there. Which it didn't do quite well? It didn't even got into the top 100 on Billbroad. This is some shocking stuff from someone as gorgeous as she is.
I think she is better off to stay in Japan rather than go abroad, is not like her CD can’t sale or anything…
She can live off the money made from the 1st album anyway…….silly idea. Well wee make mistakes at some point in our lives. No worries!

Anyway that kinda things doesn't bother me at all coz I'm a true supporter ^_^ HIKARU all the way~~!!
