This Week: Ayumi Hamasaki - H, Morning Musume - Do it! Now, Glay - Mata kokode aimashou 

Announcement: We have 3 singles this week and we're gonna make a game show of it! Yea! I get 100 words no more no less and I get to review each single in a 100 words each :) Someone count the words for me plz cause this will be hectic!

independent(『H(independent,july 1st,HANABI)』(3曲A面)) / 浜崎あゆみAyumi is back and here to shut me up once again. The single is called “H” which reminds us a lot of her legendary “A” single… errr maybe not since “A” had mucho remixes! This single only has 3 songs on it without ANY remixes but I guess she wants to go with quality not quantity. “Independent” is the featured song of the “The Baseball 2002 - Battleballpark Sengen”, “July 1st” is used for the “Kose-Vise” commercial, while Hanabi is the telecom theme song! Recently her singles have been getting cheaper and cheaper but obviously these are 3 quality songs and believe it or not she holds number 1 on Oricon as we speak. (errr  so I passed 100 words by a lil ok :P)

Track List
1. Independent
2. July 1st
3. Hanabi
4. Independent (Instrumental)
5. July 1st (Instrumental)
6. Hanabi (Instrumental)

またここであいましょう / GLAYIt’s Glay!!!!! The first of 2 singles with the 2nd one releasing a week later. This single probably has the BEST intro into a song that I have ever heard in my life. The piano intro is so beautiful and upbeat that we would love to just get that as a song by itself! But the song picks up and it’s all Glay rock from there! *Glay fans cheer* A truly lovely rock song by our standards! Did we also mention that this song is the current theme for “JAL NEW CHINA” TV commercial. Anyways buy it now! (Yes! Just made 100)

Track List
1. Mata kokode aimashou
2. Giant Strong Faust Superstar

Do it!Now / モーニング娘。We’re about to go into the last month of summer now and Momo FINALLY drops a track for us! Thank goodness!!!! We were almost about to forget what is upbeat and happy! Well this song is far from their usual music. It has a much more mature beat and tune to it. Their last single showed us how crazy they are but this one is defiantly showing us their mature side… is that even possible? Nonetheless this single rocks! It’s a lot more R&Bish rather pop and it is just as catchy as the rest of their singles! You can’t hate Momo for this song now! :P (Darn over 100 again :( ahhh who cares 1 out of 3… not bad :P)

Track List
1. Do it! Now
2. Chotto Ikashita Pure Boy
3. Do it! Now (Instrumental)
