PROTOTYPE

I love love lovethis band! They disbanded once, but got back together again with newmembers! I absolutely adore the vocals, soft and pleasant and he reallyknows how to control his tones. As for the music, I'd have to describeit as melodious and it will put a smile on your face. :D Winter Talereally has a winter feel to it, and the music is just light and skippy.Also, I'll be uploading a bonus song (STORY-Haru No Itazura-) which ismy favourite!!

Yeah, it's Koda again. I told you it never stops! XD As displeased as I've been with her lately, I'm really liking this single. Cherry Girlis an excellent song, a little different than what she's been doingbefore and I like it. Unmei... I'm still kinda iffy on, as I like thesong but it honestly sounds like every other ballad she's done. Butwith those songs together, I guess it kinda balances out. And if I'mcorrect, this will be her last single (THEN AGAIN, WHO KNOWS) until heralbum later on this month, Black Cherry.

Funny as it sounds, I first fell in love with Kou Shibasaki in Battle Royale (yeah, she was crazy BUT SO COOL). Then I found out she sang the opening theme song for the dorama Taiyou no Uta,and I was like, "... wut." But she actually sings really well. XD Asfor this single, I really like the Christmas feeling in them. They'renot necessarily Christmas-y songs... but they sure sound like it. Shehas a great soothing voice, so if you haven't heard of her before, tryher out! Oh, and the single is so small because this is the CD+DVDversion (the CD version has another track and instrumentals but Icouldn't find it T_T), so I'll probably upload the CD version laterone. XD

Ithink I've expressed my love for CHEMISTRY on more than once occasionalready. I wasn't totally in love with their last two singles, but thisone has certainly caught my attention. It's a small single, but I loveit already. The title song just has that CHEMISTRY-flavor to it, andthe second track... I was like what kind of title is that? But it'sEXACTLY what it says: 10 Minutes of CHEMISTRY! XD It's like awhole flashback of their hits, which I loved listening to because thosefirst songs are the ones I know best. Anyway, try this out too! It'sreally good.


カルテット

Guitar: Aika → Vocal: Saki → Bass: Shinkichi → Drums: Junna
Guitar: Mayoi [gone:2005] → Drums : Rouji [gone : 2003]

Cuartetstarted in May 2003, and the line-up consisted of Saki on vocals, Aikaon guitar, Shinkichi on bass and Rouji on drums. Before they officiallystarted as Cuartet, they were called Koroshi. This Visual Kei band wasa part of the Climax Enterprise label, which closed down in 2005. Theydecided to disband on June 22nd, 2005. They never gave a reason, soit´s still unknown if they took this decision because of the closure ofthe label or not.

Their music is pretty hard in general (yay not another happy band),a mix between metal and hard rock, but sometimes they also show asofter side. A large part of the songs are based on the bass, and theguitars are very important in their music as well. I hope you´ll likethem!
