Nami Tamaki - Lady Mind [single]

Artist : 玉置成実(Nami Tamaki)
Title (Single) : LADY MIND
Release Date : 2012.01.25
Genre: J-pop
Publisher: Imperial Records

A perfect mix of electro pop and dance produced by Shinichi Osawa, it starts off with a hypnotic, attention-grabbing beat that almost sounds like an alert sound your computer would make when you make an error, then a harder, throbbing dance beat kicks in. The single also includes instrumental versions of both tracks and is also available in a CD + DVD edition.

This single was the ending theme song to "Toriko". The artist is Ieiri Leo and this is her debut single. In my review, Leo Ieiri's voices just like it was YUI at first because her vocals sound almost like the pro-claimed artist. For me Leo has better tone quality and control. I hope she will become popular and could perhaps be the next big thing! I’m excited for future releases from her!

Miwa latest single - Katamoi, talk about her name... I first knowing this Miwa from the anime Bleach; Opening theme entitled "change" then I started to love her songs. Love her also ^^ even she don't know. Please keep it secret...hahaa! I bet its happened to all of you out there...starting from normal fan of anime / drama then later start addicting to anime / drama songs...you find it interesting then later become a fanatic listener to jpop. Its normal because its the way they promoting the album. Nowadays after J we heard... then it went to K..thats it Kpop right? My own conduct interview with my girlfriend has proven that a fan of kpop starting from they watching korean drama. Maybe jpop era has been replaced with kpop...but no matter what I still like jpop...kpop too hot sexy! I don't like sexy...hehee trust me (*_*)''' errr...mm...is it....erkk....
