Namie Amuro returns with her third compilation album, with two new songs entitled “Do Me More” and “Sexy Girl”. You’ve already heard the rest. Among the tracks included in this album, White Light and Baby Don’t Cry remain my favorites to date. [Download links after the cut].

EXILE is one of the few Japanese Groups I listened to (and almost fangirled about) back in College. They still sound great, even if it has been.. what, almost seven years? Their music leans more to Pop Ballad/R&B, and even though I detest R&B my whole life, their songs are actually pleasant to the ears. In this album, check out My Fantasy, Scream and What is Love. For the lulz, listen to Manatsu No Kajitsu (a Southern All Stars original.. This will remind you of a certain Tagalog song). [Download links after the cut].

Sing to the Sky is ayaka’s 2nd album. Included in this album are her popular singles such as Jewelry Day, Te wo Tsunagou and Clap & Love/Why. The track “Konya mo Hoshi ni Dakarete” is the theme song of the 2008 anime film The Sky Crawlers. Do check out the English version of “I Believe” as well (ayaka speaks decent English). My favorites are SKY and Mahoutsukai no Shiwaza. [Download links after the cut].
