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 !!!

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~~!!
