This is the 3rd cd from Ayumi Hamasaki that I purchased(I am/Memorial Address) This is her latest CD and she still has it
CD:
1.Catcher in the light:I love the melody to this, and her voice; too bad it was short. 8/10
2.About you:Nice beat, and a pretty catchy hook, but when the hook is done the guitar playing sounds too much of US pop bands 9/10
3.Game:Awsome and very catchy, but it could have used some of that fast paced rock guitar at the end or something like that 3rd single 9/10
4.My name's woman:At first I hated it, but then it bagan to grow on mw like hair. It's a pretty nice song 9/10
5.Wonderland: A interlude N/A
6.Liar:It's an ok song, not particularly one of my favorites tho 7/10
7.Hope or Pain:This song has a sad feel to it, and the song doesn't have a constant beat to it... nice 9/10
8.Happy Ending:This song I really don't listen to a lot, cuz I don't really like it 6/10
9.Moments:Ah the first song I herd off the whole CD back in April. This song is where Ayu is not repetitive, it's just a great going song that reminds me of songs like dearest 1st single 10/10
10.Walking Proud:A pretty decent song, altho it's only beginging to grow on me 8/10
11.Carols:Such a sweet calm song. And her voice shines just like on the rest of this CD. 4th single 10/10
12.Kolidoscope:Another interlude N/A
13.Inspire:A good ol' energy bursting paulse raiser. I love this song, because the beat is great, and Ayu shows a lot of energy and charisma in this song 2nd single 10/10
14.Honey:It sounds like Ayu with a more childish voice, but the tone, beat and er voice makes this song one of my favorites. And very very catchy. 2nd favorite song 10/10
15.Replace:Wonderful beat, Ayu's voice, reminding me of her previous realeses by not having a constant beat, all I wanted on this CD was a song like this. My favorite 10/10
16.Winding Road:Boy this song reminds me of Sherryl Crow, and this song is definitly not one of my favorites 5/10
17.Humming 7/4:Definitly not like Ayu, but I can't help but find myelf in the shower saying "Everybody go, Everybody Jump!" 3rd favorite 10/10
DVD:
1.Moments:The video was almost like I imagened it, with a peaceful setting, but a lonley mood. 10/10
2.Inspire:A dance video? Odd. Ayu with braids on a beach? odd. But it's still a aite video 8/10
3.Game:What's to be expected, a calm opening with dudes jammin on gutars and stuff, and Ayu singing in a wierd room. 10/10
4.Carols:Near Perfect mood, Ayu on a stage with an empty audience, but still letting her singing take over. 10/10
5.About you:I only saw about a minute and a half of the video, and I have to say it's pretty wierd. 7/10
6.Walking proud:I love the setting of this video, a seemingly sad song, with a deppresing, somewhat desserted place 10/10
7.Humming 7/4:I love the song, and I love the video, a somewhat live J-pop/rock performance in a cage in front of an audience. cool 10/10
This is her first full-lenght album since rainbow. It is a great CD, and Ayu showes another good reason to why she is the queen of J-pop. Although I didn't like the cover scans, too much make-up, sadly reminded me of Gwen Stefani, but the Booklet scans are beautiul. Fans of Ayu have to get this CD. J-pop fans should give this CD a shot as well, but if you're just geting into Ayumi Hamasaki, I'd start with I am, it's nearly skip-proof material.
Peace
