BONNIE PINK - Catch the Sun
INFO: a solo singer whose real name is Asada Kaori. she's fluent in both Japanese and English and moved to the USA in 1998. she writes and composes all her songs, as well as play the guitar and piano. she has worked with many producers from around the world and so far has released several albums, the most recent being "Golden Tears".
THOUGHTS: I know, I know, you people all get the picture that I'm a huge BONNIE fan. ^__^ that being said, I'm sorry to say that her album was a little disappointing, for BONNIE standards. but this track is definitely the best of the new tracks. ^_^

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - Dreams
INFO: a band from Okinawa with Maki as the lead singer, Yuusuke as the rapper and backup singer, Kazuto and MEG on guitar, mACKAz on Bass, and SASSY on drums. they debuted in January 2005 with the song "PRIDE", which was a theme song for the anime Gundam Seed and became a hit. since then they have released an album "G∞VER" in September 2005.
THOUGHTS: great attempt for them at a slower song. though I'm not so sure about Yuusuke's singing, especially when he attempts to harmonizes with Maki. :/ still a pretty song for them.

Aya Kamiki - Ashita no Tame ni　明日のために
INFO: a solo singer with a styled mix of rock/punk, breaking her away from the rest under her current label, GIZA. she made her debut in March 2006 with the single “Communication Break” and later following that up with a cover of “Pierrot” by the popular duo B’z. her debut album “Secret Code” released in July 2006.
THOUGHTS: her new single is on the mediocre side. its not awful, but for me its a little forgettable. will please her fans though.

CHEMISTRY - This Night
INFO: a popular R&B duo made up of Yoshikuni Dochin and Kaname Kawabata. on the audition television program, Asayan, they made their big break and have been successful ever since. they debuted in 2001 with their hit single "PIECES OF A DREAM", which sold over 2 million copies.
THOUGHTS: wow, its been a looong while since I liked a CHEMISTRY single! XD haha. they go back to their R&B influences with this song, which is probably the reason why I like it more than their recent stuff.

Mizrock - Good bye, yesterday
INFO: formerly known as Miz, she's from Hokkaido and a pop/rock artist who started releasing music under a Swedish producer with the single "New Day" in 2004. after releasing her debut album "Say It's Forever", she shortly released an all English album called "Dreams". although she mostly releases in Japan, she makes Sweden her place to record and shoot videos.
THOUGHTS: ooo a name change? interesting to chose a previous album title XD anywho, glad she's back to making music and here's the title track to her new mini album. a bit on the mellow side. this artist is the password this entry.

FLOW - Answer
INFO: a Jrock band with five members: brothers Take and Koshi, Keigo, Got's, and Iwasaki. the two brothers started the band back in 1998 and members were added until 2000. they are most known for their 2003 single "Burasuta" (blaster) and singing theme songs for the popular anime Naruto.
THOUGHTS: really like their new single. compared to UVERworld's new single, it takes the cake for rock/pop band release XD

ZEEBRA feat Miliyah Kato - My People
INFO: known as the father of Japanese Hip-hop for he was the one who first introduced rapping to Japan. he was part of the rap group King Giddra until making his solo debut in 1997. later in 1998 he released his first album called "The Rhyme Animal". with his influence and popularity as a rapper, ZEEBRA has established an urban and hip-hop scene in Japan.
THOUGHTS: mm love the nice chilled or laidback feel of the beat. its enough for me to listen to the song on repeat, and Miliyah is just an added bonus (think its time for her to release a "feat Miliyah" album). ^_^

Anna Tsuchiya - BUBBLE TRIP
INFO: a half Japanese and half Russian American who got her career started by doing some modeling in her mid-teens. it wasn’t until 2002 when she began a singing career in the duo Spin Aqua. later on, she quit the duo and went solo after being married and having a child. she released “Taste My Beat”, a solo mini album in 2005.
THOUGHTS: dang this song gets stuck in my head. XD very catchy and a great mix of punk/rock/pop that Anna is known for. ^_^

mink - Together again
INFO: a Korean singer who sings in Japanese and English. she signed with avex after sending a demo tape full of cover songs. on August 3rd, 2005 she debuted with a self titled album and later on that year also released another album, "e + motion". her name stands for "made in Korea".
THOUGHTS: aah, there we go. glad she's back to her 'powerful ballad' form XD personally didn't like her 3rd album much, but the road to the 4th is looking good ^_^

UVERworld - Shaka Beach ~Laka Laka La~
INFO: a five member pop and rock band with lead singer TAKUYA∞. they formed in 2003 but didn't officially debut until July 2005 with the single "D-tecnoLife", a theme for the popular anime "Bleach". later, they released their debut album "Timeless". UVER (or uber) means "over" in German.
THOUGHTS: their new single is a bit iffy since I'm always weary of artists saying 'lala' or something over and over again (its like they couldn't think up of lyrics), but its passable in my book.
