4.0 out of 5 stars A Near Perfection of Craft, Good or Bad?, November 5, 2004

By 

Salvador Suthington (Providence) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Japan for Sale 4 (Audio CD)

Japan for sale traverses the entire spectrum of popular music genres, from rap to rock, electronica to ballad pop, with an unmistakable Japanese flare. The pop is pure sugar with a cherry on top, the rap is fluid and easy on the ears, even the album's grittiest of rock is refined and catchy. The trade off for this fine craftsmanship is the lack of anything cutting edge.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Japanese Music!, December 3, 2005

This review is from: Japan for Sale 4 (Audio CD)

This CD is great if you are just getting into Japanese music, and have not been exposed to much of it. It spans dance, to rock, to rap and pop music. I was a little disappointed that they included an anime theme song in the list, but L arc en ciel is a very popular band in Japan, so it makes sense to put their latest hit on the CD.

My personal favorites are Orange Range's "Shanghai Honey," Aiha Higurahi's "Baby Beautiful" and Asian Kung Fu Generation's "NGS"

However, I was disappointed by the ACO and Takkyu Ishino songs included on the list, but otherwise, it is a great CD from beginning to end!

Good Mix of JPOP. READY STEDY GO by L'arc~en~Ceil is a great song, and should be familiar to fans of anime as this is a theme song to Full Metal Alchemist. N.G.S by ASIAN KUNG FU GENERATION is another excellent track.
