L'Arc~en~Ciel - DAYBREAK'S BELL
INFO: a Jrock band with lead singer Hyde and band members Tetsu, Ken, and Yukihiro. the band started out in 1991 and released their first album, "DUNE", with an indies label. even after some member changes and several hiatuses, including some solo pursuits from HYDE, the band has still remained very popular throughout the years. their name means 'rainbow' in French.
THOUGHTS: and their back with another chart topping single. this one's not so much my style, but sure to please their fans.

K - KI.ZU.NA ~Wasurenai yo~　～忘れないよ～
INFO: a Korean singer (real name, Kang Yoon-sung) who started releasing singles in Japanese after his attempts at the Korean music market produced mediocre results. he released his first Japanese single, "over...", for the drama H2 in March 2005. he released his first Japanese album “Beyond the Sea” in January 2006.
THOUGHTS: so, he collabed with the group ET-KING and that song was alright, but o.m.g. this song is beautiful~ ^__^ certainly beats out his last single XD and yea, was too lazy to change the song tags, but its just him in this song.

Aya Kamiki - Sekaijuu no Dare mo ga　世界中の誰もが
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: sweet new album from her ^__^ this is the great opening track.

Miyu Nagase - Key ~Yume kara Samete~ ～夢から覚めて～
INFO: she was the lead singer in the band ZONE. ZONE went on hiatus when she went solo and she released two singles in late 2004. after the disbandment and a several years on hiatus, she came back in 2007 with the single "Key ~Yume kara Samete~".
THOUGHTS: ok, anybody remember that girl band ZONE? and their lead singer? what about her two solid solo singles? well, she's finally back ^___^ IEI. song is alright, a little bit of dramatic pop, but I'm just happy she's singing again.

ARIA - I'm not gonna cry
INFO: a J-urban artist who formerly went by the name Asuka before a change in record labels. she made her debut in December 2005 with the single "Beautiful Life". she made her debut album under this name in August 2006.
THOUGHTS: hmm...guess I've been ignoring ARIA for a while now. ^__^;; her past few releases were fine, I just neglected to put them up. anyways, this is the b-side to her latest, and its a slow R&B jam.

F.I.R. - Di Shi Xing Xing 第十行星
INFO: a Taiwanese trio of Faye (vocals), Ian (keyboard & guitar), and Real (main guitarist). earning a reputation of being the Chinese Do As Infinity, they are very popular after releasing the hit song "Lydia". their group name can stand for either their initials or for their first album title "The Fairyland In Reality", released in 2004.
THOUGHTS: oooo cool new album by them ^__^ really like this track, its a mix of rock, rap, great vocals, and uh...opera-ish vocals? O_o dunno how to describe the last part. ^^;

RURUTIA - Suzaku no Sora 朱雀の空
requested; INFO: a solo artist, she started out in 2001 with the single "Itoshigoyo". her music ranges from surreal sounding to rock accompanied with her airy voice. not much personal information is known about her, even her age and real name are mysteries. after four albums, she changed labels to Phoenix Records and released her first single, "Spinel", with them in November 2005.
THOUGHTS: there was a request for some more RURUTIA and of course I'm willing to put some up. and wow, don't think I've ever upped this great song by her. ^__^ off her album "Water Forest".

twenty4-7 - Fly Out
INFO: a new urban duo that were just signed under Avex. MIKA provides the rap and ME provides the vocals. they released a mini album before officially debuting with the single "Fly Out" in 2007.
THOUGHTS: cool, a duo to replace Heartsdales, without all the... uh... I'll stop there. haha. their mini album was very promising, as is this single. ^^ this artist is the password this week.

Beni Arashiro - Song for Love　
INFO: a solo artist who's part American, she started off in a contest called Kokuminteki Bishojo Contest and became a finalist without any formal training. she speaks English and Japanese fluently and does more of a R&B/pop style. she debuted with the single "Harmony" back in 2004 and released her first album, "Beni" in 2005.
THOUGHTS: this has got to be one of the best songs she released. got a little bit of an R&B feel to it and her vocals are soo pure and pretty~

Namie Amuro - Put'em Up
INFO: one of the biggest names in Jpop history, Namie started out in a group called THE SUPER MONKEYS but then left to do a solo career. however, she left the music scene for a while when she had her kid and her popularity kind of dropped. now she's still a famous singer but now focuses more on a R&B or J-urban style. she was also in the J-urban collaboration SUITE CHIC.
THOUGHTS: I've been on a little Namie obsessing lately, and so why not upload the song that really got me into her music? I believe this was her first true R&B single released back in 2003.
