This is Fairies first single, and both the songs are good! I like More Kiss better, but Song For You is good too! (but still nothing beats Beat Generation). That’s the end of my Fairies review for now. Be back at another time with more. What i wanted to say is that a lot of people are all focused on AKB48 and Morning Musume and stuff like that (I like them too!) but there are other idol band that are just as good or even better, so be sure to check out Fairies!! (and Momoiro Clover Z)
[Single] Fairies - Hero/Sweet Jewel
7/10
This is not as good as Beat Generation, but both song are pretty good. I like Hero better, but Sweet Jewel makes you happy when listening to it! It’s so upbeat and Happy! :D
[Single] Fairies - Beat Generation/No More Distance
7/10
The first song Beat Generation is the bomb. I love it. It’s sooo good. and the second song isn’t really bad it’s just really really average. This is one of the idol bands (i’m not even sure they are idol considering they wanna be like namie amuro.) which i’m only interested in their music. The girls don’t really have personality and they are all about 12-14. But i hope the succeed in becoming what they want to become. They are all about their music so GET IT DONE AND GET TO THE TOP!
[Single] 9nine - チクタク☆2NITE (Chikutaku☆2nite)
6/10
The song in question chikutaki 2nite is really good, but the other 2 song on the single are crap. Total crap. That’s all i have to say.
[Movie] Jägarna
8.5/10 (rewatch)
This is one of the few Swedish movies I actually like. (and i mean feeeeww) I usually hate Swedish movies but this one is a good one. And i think this is hard to find with english subtitles maybe (I dunno i haven’t checked) but if you find it, please watch it. Really good acting in it, and interesting.
[Movie] The Flowers of War
7/10
This movie is about the war between Japan and China, when Japan was taking over Nanking. I don’t know much about the war except that the japanese were very brutal, so i can’t say if this is a good or bad portrait of the actual war. I was suprised to find out that it was Zhang Yimou who directed it. It wasnt as artsy as his other movies but it had a bit of an artsy touch at times. Not one of his best though!
It was a bit long (2½h), but it was interesting enough to keep watching. It a very dark and depressing movie, so don’t watch it if you don’t like that sort of thing. Half of it is in chinese and the other half is most english and a little japanese. I’d say that the acting could’ve been better, but it wasnt bad. Pretty decent movie. I recommend it.
[Album] Koda Kumi - Japonesque
7/10
So first of all. TOO MANY SONGS IMO. Unless it’s a best of. Keep it under 15 songs. 17 songs. BAM. Sorry Koda Kumi :( too many.
So i had the honour of seeing Miss Koda Kumi live last summer. She was awesome. It was like Porn on stage. THe things she was doing and the things she was wearing. Anyways she was great live, and for that she has earned respect from me!
Back to the album. This album was pretty good. She has a few too many ballads. I’m not a ballad person. Ballads bore me unless the song is incredibly beautiful. which most of the time they arent. But i would recommend this cd to any pop lover. She has guests like t-pain, Omarion, etc. which is really cool. I hope she makes it worldwide.
Top 3 songs:
[Album] Super Eurobeat Vol. 201
5/10
Oh god. What has eurobeat become. At least there were some good songs. I was wondering why there hasn’t been routines made up for most of these songs and then i realized that they were crap. so thats why. I was really disspointed in Manuels song “Night train”. CRAP. Probably the worst song on the cd. I did like some of the songs though. I wanted to post my top 3, but I couldn’t find “K.Deleo - Wonderlover” and “Ken Blast - When the sun comes up” on youtube :(
But i did find this one:
[Album] VOCAROCK collection 3 feat. 初音ミク
7/10
Recently I don’t really listen to Vocaloid, but this album caught my eye. It was a bumpy ride. Like most Vocaloid albums there are som crap songs and some amazing songs. I just wish i didnt have to sit through the crap songs. anyways for people who like a bit more of a rocky vocaloid thise album is pretty good! Check it out!
Top Picks:
For some reason, this song is higher than the version i listened to. I recommend the album song more than this one.(Below)
[Album] 初音ミク DANCE REMIX vol.1
5.5/10
So this album really dissapointed me. I was thinking Miku? YES! Dance remixes? YES! But it turned to be a pretty big Oh no. Some of the remixes were just total crap and not dancy at all. I couldn’t even bear to listen to some of the songs all the way through. Though it wasn’t ALL bad. This ablum actually had som good songs too! I don’t recommend this album, but i do recommend some of the songs.
I wish i could put up links to the songs i like, but they don’t have them on youtube :( sorry. You’ll have to listen to the album and pick yourself!
