T_T But for someone who is a model-turned singer, her voice is very very nice and suitable for her style of song.

Consecutive updates-- well, sort of.
[LINK RE-UPLOADED]

I like uploading PVs (music videos) for you guys ^_^
such as the three I uploaded during the December specials.

The webserver I use provides 100MB of free hosting, so naturally it would be an excellent solution to put the PVs. Many other people use the same web server to provide files on Chinese BBS, so I think it must also have a decent bandwidth. However, that host died within three weeks due to some reason (which I do not like to think as the bandwidth going over), so I cannot upload PVs anymore. There is also the solution of yousendit.com. But I would hate to abuse the server repeatedly (as many other mp3 journals/sites use them as well), and I would definitely dislike re-upload those huge files because they've been downloaded too many times, because they take about a good half an hour to upload.

Therefore, I can no longer serve big files, unless you guys know some good free service that allows files that have size ranging from 40MB to 80MB. I do not want someone to spare their paid webspace to host for me, because it will eat your bandwidth. I do not want to pay for anything, because it is not a job that I must do and I simply do not have the money for it.

I'm very sorry about this XO
and if I ever get another account with the free webserver that I used, I'll definitely by uploading PVs again (probably less frequently >_<||). To make up to the people who couldn't get the files last time, I did upload the RURUTIA PV "itoshigo yo" on yousendit.com, and will only upload again once if the link expires. So please comment when you take this PV, because I need to see how many people can download it before it expires. Thank you for respecting the work done m(_ _)m.

Sorry about the special files last time XO, it seems that my account was deleted (due to bandwidth?).
I understand that there are some of you who wish to get the RURUTIA PV, but was unable to because the account was deleted. If there are more people who want it, I will upload it to yousendit.com, instead of just providing the link to a few individuals.

Requested [11]

1. 愛の輪廓; ai no rinkaku (Field of Love)
vocal: KOKIA
file info: 4:19; 160kbps
8cm CD: ai no rinkaku; 01
show: Brain Powerd; ED
comments: (Anime; Ballad) Composed by Yoko Kanno, naturally with beautiful melody. This was done in KOKIA's early stages, so her power in vocals is not as strong yet. Leaves a ghostly feeling~ Requested by Sandy san.
[lyrics]

--------------**---------------

2. The Power of Smile
vocal: KOKIA
file info: 4:06; 160kbps
CD: Remember me; 09
comments: (J-Pop) I feel that KOKIA's newest 2 albums lacked the originality and individual feel Songbird and Trip Trip gave. Her new stuffs sounds so "fluff". The Power of Smile lies somewhere in the transitional period (between Kawaranai and So much love for you). Leaves no strong and distinct impression to me. Requested by Angel san.

5. Platinum egoism
vocal: r.o.r/s
file info: 4:17; 128
CD: dazzle; 09
comments: (J-Pop) r.o.r/s is a vocal group made of the famous seiyuu of Yonekura Chihiro and Okui Masami. The majority of this song (if not all) is sung by Yonekura Chihiro, and (apparently) is one of the best songs from the album. I like their style of music, but too much is boring after a while. Requested by Lona san and Maaria san (request x 2).

vocal: 天野月子; Amano Tsukiko
file info: 4:52; 128kbps
CD: Tenryu; 06
comments: (Indies) Amano Tsukiko is a lesser well-known artists, with her most powerful and recognized piece Chou, the ending theme song of Fatal Flame. Her voice has been described as "captivating". This song contains some country sounding elements, with Amano san talking in the song (like a drama in a song). The music becomes agressive and emotional (however, her voice remained pretty robotic, which killed the effect =_=''). for Strife san.

file info: 6:40; 128kbps
show: Digimon Season 02
comments: (Anime) Lots of people singing, this is played at the end of the second season. Emotionally sad. Wrapped up by Gackt&Hyde's Love Child, this song "is suppose to be heartwarming song, but some ppl think it's gay. but this song is one of the song which i think has the most people singing at once (27) so has a wide voice variety. it's also a pretty sappy song and one of those you have to see the series to appreciate. although the narrator's part is retarded and pointless. and all the person in this song say "thank you", but they all say thankyou in their own individual ways, and the best part is wada kouji/aim parts i think". ^^;; not a bad song I think.

comments: (anime) If I'm not mistaken Maeda Ai does the voice of Mimi, so this is an image song for Mimi (I've never seen the series in Japanese ^^;;). I prefer her newer songs (A Beautiful World). But perhaps I'm biased because I didn't really like Digimon when it was running.

(cuz Kannagi is a BL game, so Ruu (uke)'s voice is very gay baby-ish.) Some people think it's cute, I think it's annoying.

Many most) people find it extremely boring and mellow, but I think it shows Hika chan's inner ~~uke-ness~~ innocence. (..........................). Sung in his mature voice, Hika shows his feelings towards Sai in this sweet and sad ballad. Ignore the cover picture of the CD. I _dont_ know WHY he looks that way >_<

comments: (96 bit rate) Surprisingly higher than how Eden was sung. Sounds like preppy boy band song. Haven't given it much listening, but it's very very different than Eden.

3. Whenever I Think of You
[三枝夕夏 IN db], 5:02
MAXI CD: Whenever I Think of You; Track 01
Show: Tenshi na Konamaiki; 1st ED
comments: vocal by Saegusa Yuuka IN db (decibel) Nice song ^.^ with soft vocal and sweet melody. Feels like summer on the beach (not the crowded ones that I can only go to.. =n=~)

1000 no kotoba (DJ 19 Remix)
[倖田來未], 7:25
CD: Come withMe; Track 05
Game: (remix of) Final Fantasy X2; ??
comments: Vocal by Koda Kumi. Very long song. After 2 minutes of stupid repeating intro, she finally starts to sing. The lyrics contradicts the melody. I usually don't like songs that meant one thing and sound like another.

5. 同じ空の下で
onaji sora no shita de
[KOTOKO], 5:39

CD: DEEP2 CD; Track 03

8. Silent Moon
[ ?? ], 4:47
Show: Gokudo-kun Manyuuki; ED2
Comments: Chorus is kinda catchy. Only listened to it once (when I review this song). It's pretty nice. Not in an anime ending style, more like a opening style.

9. Dear... From...
CD: Be Happy; Track 10
[愛內里菜], 5:03
Comments: Vocal by Aiuchi Rina. Don't be fooled by her very cute face, she has a very deep and nice voice (I very much like Navy Blue ^^**). By reviews, this is the best song from the album. Haven't listen to it a lot, but it's a nice ballad.

CD: Snow Original Soundtrack Disc 2; Track 01
Game: Snow
comments: I've Sound song, vocal by Matsuzawa Yumi, well known for her songs of Nadesico and Gate Keeper. This is a very well done song in I've style, of course ^^) very nice beats, melodies, the background, the vocal and all over effect are all great.

10. Real Emotions (DJ MSK Remix)
[倖田來未] 4:18
CD: Come with Me; Track 04
Game: remix of) Final Fantasy X2; ??
comments: I don't like Koda Kumi songs much. Everybody made such a big deal about Real Emotions and 1000 no kotoba. I thought the ballad was nice (though very long). Real Emotions is not that special. Oh well, this remix is saturated with beats. Very hip-hop feeling. I dislike this remix more than the original.

Last Piece ~tsuyoku naritakute~
[折笠富美子 & 今井由香], 4:42
comments: from Digimon Tamers, by Orikasa Fumiko and Imai Yuka, the voice of Ruki and Renamon. D Master wasn't able to provide a review this time, so I'll try my best >x<;; Both have very cute and mellow voice (sometimes to the extend whiny) soft and soothing song, like a lullaby of sorts. Very sweet. (maybe they are singing their devotion to each other? ^^;;)

2. 人間ってそんなものね
ningen tte sonna mono ne
[KOKIA], 5:03
comments: The first KOKIA song that I liked :3 (first Kokia song ever was Arigatou, which was a so-so song to me) KOKIA's beautiful and sincere voice is shown here. Melodic song. Very recommended. one of KOKIA's early works, track 10 on second album Trip Trip

3. Spring's Petal
[坂本真綾], 0:37
comments: xD this is probably the shortest Sakamoto Maaya song ever. It's not really a song, more like a interlude. It's from Napple Tale - Monster Illustrated Book. Very mysterious and cool~

4. Fruits Basket Drama Track 1 (CD 1)
[original seiyuus], 11:51
comments: ^^ very cute drama, introduces cast and etc. Honda san is main character.

5. Blasa
[Yae], 3:58
comments: tranquil song, ED of Conder Hero. Very nice and quite song. *don't know how to describe slow songs* Will put some people to sleep.

6. OS NO YES -Seal up Live version-
[UNDER17], 4:00
comments: *0* UNDER17 so hyper ~~ This was featured on the Best Album 1 CD, and according to the tag, it is an insert song of Milkyway ^^ Like all UNDER17 songs, very VERY fast and cute.

7. I Pray to Stop My Cry -Nine Ball Mix-
[MAKO], 5:01
comments: Sung by MAKO, one of the lesser known I've singers. MAKO has a deep and mature voice. As with the case of most remixes, this sucks. The arranger took out the melody, and stuck beats to it. The remix reminds of J-Pop songs. Although the song stinks, I still like like the harmony and MAKO san's voice.

8. Eyes Memorize
[堀江由衣], 4:42
comments: no update is complete without Horie chan's song ^^ This song is very cute. Pretty similar to "mitsumeraretara ~when I fallin' in love with you~". both are very good songs :3

9. 夏の終りの永い雨
natsu no owari no nagai ame
[Garnet Crow], 4:11
comments: C/W of "kimi to iu hikari" ^^ Similar style, though I prefer the former. More melodic than "kimi to.." Good Garnet Crow song.

10. Future

[KOTOKO], 6:55
comments: Good KOTOKO song, slow and soothing. KOTOKO sounded mature in this song (sometimes whiny though). Nice beats and piano background. This song is written by C.G.mix (great composers~~)

2. お気に入りの自転車
o ki ni iri no Jitensha
[堀江由衣], 4:00
comments: Cute Horie Yui song, from album SKY (very looking forward to her new album, which I have to find somehwere~) This is one of the songs on this album that I don't prefer that much. The title is cute though.

3. Tightrope
[Tetsu69], 2:54
comments: @__@~ Tightrope is the 1st ED of the anime Saiyuki (great manga, sucky anime), and it is by Tetsu69 (^^, Tetsu is the bassist from L'arc~en~ciel). This song is not very impressive. But it's from Tetsu <3 Some parts are kind of cute

comments: karaoke of above

5. Flaming Ice
[今井由香], 3:34
comments: from Digimon Tamers, by Imai Yuka, the voice of Renamon. Reviews from D Master (XDD~~): "starts off really weird, like old Japanese sounding instruments, but then gets kinda upbeat ^w^ I like this song, it's one of the good D songs (compare to some others). renamon singing about proclaiming her love...I mean...dedication...to ruki......>w<"

6. Pure Snow
[佐々木優子], 5:34
comments: Very good Sasaki Yuko song!! Very catchy song with sweet lyrics, this is the OP for the show, Himiko Den. This song made Sasaki san extremely popular. If you haven't heard this song, you should give it a try ^w^

7. 調和
chouwa
[KOKIA], 4:31
comments: KOKIA was born in America and returned to Japan to pursue a singing career (much like Kuraki Mai ^^). KOKIA's song are always soothing, soft, and melodic. People starts to notice her when she released her "Kawaranai Koto" single. This song is one of her older songs, and was featured on her second album (Trip Trip). This song includes traditional Japanese music. It's very flow-y, and as the title suggests (chouwa = harmony), it's a beautifully blended harmony.

8. The Ijin-Den 天才の法則
The Ijin-Den tensai no housoku
[みっくす Juice], 5:31
comments: sang by Mix Juice (Nakahara Mai, Ueda Kana, Saitou Chiwa, Morinaga Rika). This is the OP of Wandaba Style (?? Never heard of it, art looks very pretty, though ^^) Fun to listen, it's a cute song.

1. See You ~小さな永遠~ PV MIX
See You ~chiisana eien~ PV Mix
[I've Special Unit], 5:57
comments: Sounds very similar to original version, but I like this version better because you can hear the different variation of voices ^0^ grand group project. I've Special Unit is made up of: KOTOKO, MELL, MOMO, SHIHO, KAORI, MAMI, and PEKO. I can't figure out who sung the first "laa-laa" part. Sounds like KAORI >x<// It sounds so breathy...

2. The Whereabouts in the Sun
[MOMO], 4:04
comments: First MOMO song posted :3~ MOMO's voice is not cute, but mature and cool (like J-rock singers). This song gives off very weird (creepy) vibes. I like everything, except the chorus. I suspect that MOMO's voice is what made her songs un-popular among I've Sound. But I like MOMO's cool and creepy music.

3. Romantic Flight
[堀江由衣], 3:30
comments: Ah~~ typical Horie Yui song. From album SKY. Horie Yui's songs are all really similar, I'm slowing getting annoyed by them >x<'' But Horie Yui's music is very happy and cute, and if you are into that kind of thing, you'll like all her music.

4. それが、愛でしょう (からおけ)
sore ga, ai deshou (Instrumental)
[下川みくに], 5:13
comments: By Shimokawa Mikuni, who has a very lovely voice ^x^. The original song is very nice, but you can't really tell the melody from the karaoke.

5. WAになっておどろう

[V6], 4:58
comments: Very happy and up-lifting ^^;;

6. グルクン～赤い魚の燦華～
kurukun ~akai sakana no sange~
[Iwao Junko], 4:45
comments: C/W of Scarlet (ED of the show Ayashi no Ceres). This song's title is so cool (Death of a Red Fish) ^x^ sung in Iwao san's creepy and quiet voice. The music is very slow and soothing.

7. Close to Me
[KOTOKO], 5:26
comments: To Steven-san who requested this: you wrote "KOTOKO To Me..." so I'm assuming that it's a typo and you meant Close to Me by KOTOKO ^^. Okay song, doesn't leave a strong impression. Style is similar to Imaginary Affairs'.

8. 明日への扉 (からおけ)
ashita (asu) he no tobira (Karaoke)
[IWiSH], 4:53
comments: Karaoke of IWiSH's debut song. Original song is pretty nice- soothing and slow. However, since Ai's voice is not here, the instrumental music reveals to be just synthesized melodies from keyboard. Nothing special >x<~

9. Last Regrets -Piano Solo-
[LIA], 5:10
comments: to Yuki san who requested this: sorry, I can't find the karaoke~ >x< this is the closest thing that I have to a karaoke (there's voice singing in there...). edit: vocal by LIA

comments: I like this song ^x^ Cool techno music. (I had this file named as "inori no jidai" T_Tll bad knowledge &skills. it's fixed now)

4. 美しく生きたい
utsukushiku ikitai
[MELL]. 4:57
comments: I discovered lots of transliterating errors on my I've Sound list, they were so stupid _ _;; that was me one year ago with very bad Japanese skills >x<. This song is a very typical (old) I've sounding, except with MELL's voice this song has left an impression of a blend of J-pop and I've in my mind ^^ Okay song, very fast and techno styled.
