1. Best real rock band - Band-Maid is the most important rock band in the world today. They are the only band trying to keep real rock and roll alive, not metal but rock. I love their creativity. Kanami Tono is a premier composer who is writing incredible pieces that all seem original and not repetitive. Thank you ladies.

2. A Must-Have Album - Forget the fact that these are five young Japanese women who dress in provocative French maid outfits. These ladies truly rock and are some of the finest hard rock musicians in the world today. Every tune is incredible with hard driving drums, bass, and guitar topped by outstanding vocals. If you’re a fan of hard driving rock music you owe it to yourself to get this album.

3. One of the Best J-Rock Albums Ever - Cutting to the chase: this album is Band-Maid's greatest musical effort yet. For me, it's their first album that I've listened to on a daily rotation. I haven't been able to get it out of my head for the past month! The talent of this hard rock group really shines here, as they unquestionably elevated the genre to a new level with experimental - nearly progressive - approach. Tracks like "Dice" and "Clang" offer that heart-pounding, headbanging rush while songs like "Anemone" and "Spirit!!" defied my expectations of formula. Everything is on point, and it all sounds wonderful. Definitely check this one out! Probably one of the best J-Rock albums I've ever heard.

4. Hands down the best band of the last years! - These girls are the best thing that has happened to Rock in the last years. Incredible musicianship. Inventive songs and insanely great melodies and singing. They have it all the the world is theirs for the taking. In this era of wimpy Indie bands are here to day and gone later today the people need ROCK because it will never die. Band maid is here to stay and make their mark.Go Band maid!

5. Another fantastic album! - Was eagerly waiting on the international release and when it did I immediately bought the entire album off of Amazon Music. Then my preordered album came in not long afterwards lol. I must say, probably some of their best work. Loved every single song. They certainly did not disappoint!!

6. About Time! - Album wasn’t available on iTunes on February (Japanese release date), and wasn’t available March (international release date). What took so long to upload the album to the United States iTunes? I couldn’t wait any longer, and bought the album on Amazon Music on March . Spotify even had the album to stream since February . Get your act together, iTunes!

7. Excellent! - After 'Just Bring it!' this album was a surprise. Saiki and Co are on fire. I have only listened once so far but right away, this is worth buying the entire album (I got mine from CDJapan, along with a live DVD. Their producer finally spent some money on a Live Video - But I digress). None of the tracks disappoints, there is some hint of pop in some tracks, and the virtuosity of the instrumentalist is fantastic - MISA's bass works stands out. Top that with Saiki's wonderful voice - and there it is. A masterpiece.

1. SkaPara Forever! - I'm relatively new to the Ska Genre, and TSPO was I guess you can say my 'introduction' to it. The first song that I'd heard of theirs was "Let Me Come the River Flow" and when I'd heard their track "Pride of Lions" (feat. Fumio Ito of KEMURI) from their Perfect Future LP - I was hooked immediately! Their High-Energy is infectous and like an addict, I just HAD to find more of their music! Definitely worth every penny!

1. Stunning and most highly skilled player and teacher! Amazing CD. - This is by far the best I've heard of the Watazumido style of Shakuhachi classical repertoire. The dynamic ability is beyond comprehension and only attained by one who has dedicated his life to learning this instrument. Thank you for making it! Yours truly.
