Ayumi Hamasaki - Beautiful Fighters [Blue Bird Single] (4 Stars)

I know that a big star like Ayumi probably has like a bajillion dollar budget to do these things, and it is very apparent in videos like this one.I  actually didn't like this song when I first heard it. I brushed it off as another upbeat happy song, but videos do a lot of change my mind when it comes to music.

Normally people trying to be overly cute or hilarious doesn't amuse me, but through the shenanigans of her and the rest of the girls I really began to appreciate the meaning (of the video at least) more. Even though people can be complete screw ups, everyone is secretly a beautiful fighter on the inside.

"We are Beautiful Fighters
To be honest
There are some terrible days
But the girls who live
Without stopping nor giving up are
Beautiful Fighters"

Ayaka 絢香- Real Voice [Real Voice Single] (4 Stars)

I find Ayaka's music to be oddly upbeat and meaningful, but nonetheless well done and complimented well with a strong voice. My penpal recommened "I Believe" and I was pretty much hopelessly hooked on her music afterwards, even though I think she only has a few singles out there. Definitely a strong newcomer then with a few drama themes under her belt.

Real Voice presents a lot of opposites back and forth, but more or less gives a good performance view of Ayaka and her trademark vocals which I highly recommend.
