BoA - Live Tour 2006 (Birthday) -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Wednesday, February 28 2007 The BoA - Birthday Live Tour 2006 has been uploaded to Musicspeed! She puts on a great performance this time, and now that she is older and more mature, her words are more deep. The song order is chosen perfectly, and in between some songs she always has a few things to say from the bottom of her heart. A very great watch. The length is an about an hour and 20 minutes. Her outfits are reminiscent of her evolving styles, from the classic slacks to the white dress. Click HERE to download. Enjoy!
BoA - Made in Twenty Album (2007) -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Tuesday, February 13 2007 Made in Twenty is BoA's 5th album released on 1/17/2007. It features a nice mix of speedy songs with the classic slow songs that were hit singles. Many of her slow new tracks are quite decent. This album is a commemoration for BoA's 20th birthday, in which she turned 20 on November 5th, 2006. Winter Love single was released almost the same time as her birthday, and since then, she's been performing numerous performances of Winter Love. Luckily, Winter Love is a very beautiful song, and is still the flagship track for this album. Click here to view the review and download.
BoA - Winter Love New Single -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Saturday, November 4 2006 Winter Love is a single released on 11/1/2006. This song reverts back to being the traditional complete slow song after trying out hybrid songs such as Key of Heart and Nanairo no Ashita. Winter Love, resembles Meri Kuri and gives off a similar atmosphere. However, this song is in minor and portrays a much sadder ambience. Candle Lights and Last Christmas are resonable filler songs. The single overall is great, and is definitely worth buying as well. Enjoy. The full review and download can be accessed HERE. Also, BoA-San's 20th birthday is tommorow (Hatachi Desu)! Buy her single as a commeration for her birthday =).
New reviews and downloads -- Posted by Goldenrody on Monday, September 25 2006
Pretty sizable update this time around, the full discographies for bôa(the British band, not the crappy JPop/Kpop idol), the brilliant green, and L'Arc~en~Ciel have been posted along with respective reviews for each album. Yes, you heard right, every single major album released by these three bands is available for download in mp3 form. You can access the download pages by finding the albums under the artist's name by clicking on whatever letter the band name begins with on the top sidebar. You can also go to the Download Archives page for a quicker way to see the download pages. Remember that if you like the music, support the artists by buying the albums yourself, especially in the case of the brilliant green, who haven't released an album since 2002, and bôa, who are officially on hiatus.
BoA - Key of Heart -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Wednesday, August 9 2006 BoA just released her newest (20th) single: Key of Heart. This song is not a gem like some of her previous ones, but mixes melody with a rather fast paced theme, bypassing drum beats non melodical vibrations. Overall it is still quite decent, and is worth listening to. The download link is avaliable HERE. Enjoy
BoA - Select Sheet Music Downloads -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Monday, May 15 2006

BoA - Always BoA - Amazing Kiss BoA - Atlantis Princess BoA - Don't Start Now BoA - Everlasting BoA - Every Heart BoA - Listen To My Heart BoA - Meri Chri BoA - Milky Way BoA - My Genie BoA - My Prayer BoA - No. 1 BoA - Quincy BoA - Shine We Are BoA - Tree BoA - Valenti BoA - Waiting
BoA- Nanairo no Ashita (Single) (2006) -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Sunday, April 16 2006 Nanairo no Ashita is BoA's newest single, released on 4/5/2006. There are two songs, each with a karaoke compliment. It embodies a happy atmosphere, and the music video portrays her messing around as a janitor! This song intends to mix rhythm and melody in the same song, albeit being out of place. Download it here!
Love Hina - Hinata Girls' Best Albums Download -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Saturday, April 1 2006 The Love Hina anime series yielded some pretty nice songs. The best of these songs are now here! Near complete albums (the best songs) of Hinata Girls' Best CD's 1 and 2 is now available here!. Some of the most popular songs, such as Yakusoku, was played in a very dramatic episode near the end of the series, when Keitaro was on the brink of confessing his love to Naru. Also there is a special section that will contain all songs not part of a particular album. One of these is Happy Happy Rice Shower, that was edited (fixed) for pitch errors, along with a faster version. Note that these songs are quite rare and not easy to find, so enjoy!
BoA - My Sweetie Music Video -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Monday, March 20 2006 Musicspeed has added one of BoA's cutest video "My Sweetie" from her 2nd Korean album "No. 1". There are many stunning scenes and actions that will probably just "kill" you. Her winks, peace signs, dance moves, will keep you smiling at the edge of your seat.
BoA- Outgrow (2006) Album Review and Download -- Posted by Isospeedrix on Sunday, March 5 2006 BoA's newest album, Outgrow, is now avaliable on Musicspeed for download! The album is relatively sub par compared to most of her other albums, but it does contain the jewel single Everlasting. Enjoy.
More reviews and Chrono Symphonic -- Posted by Goldenrody on Sunday, March 5 2006 Hasn't been an update in a while, but there have been some more reviews posted on the site. Go check them out! There will eventually be a "recent reviews" section on the sidebar, so look out for that.
In other news, the OverClocked ReMix collaboration, Chrono Symphonic, has finally been released. It's basically a fan-made album done to sound like how a Chrono Trigger soundtrack would be like if it were made into a movie. I've listened to it, and it's a pretty solid album, with very little filler, although certain musical pieces appear way too frequently. One thing to note is that this album is almost entirely synthesized, but the quality is outstanding, and many times it's almost impossible to distinguish it from a real orchestra. Anyway, I won't provide the mp3s on this server, as this is a free album that is readily available on their bittorrent site, so here is the link:
Also, on topic of the game, is the website for the Chrono Trigger 10th Birthday. Although the game is now officially 11 years old, there's still a cool stuff to be read on the site, so I might as well post it.
First Update! -- Posted by Goldenrody on Sunday, March 5 2006
Hey, so this is the opening of the site, I hope you all enjoy it. First off, not all of the reviews have been added to the site yet, as they take me a long time to make(since I have to search around for album covers and stuff), but they should all be done in due time, hopefully. Anyway, right now, we have two album downloads up, the first being a Final Fantasy concert recording, TOUR de JAPON. This is actually ripped from the DVD-Audio from the DVD release of this concert. Pretty rare CD, I haven't really seen it around much, but it's a fantastic recording with crystal clear sound quality and it combines songs that were played in the Dear Friends and More Friends concert series in the USA. The second album that is up is bôa's Get There album, their newest, released four years after their first. bôa is one of the best British bands around right now, known mostly through their song that was used in the opening theme of Serial Experiments Lain, duvet. This album is also really rare, and I also highly suggest that you guys buy the album too, as they're a band that really does deserve the money. Finally, we have a live performance up, of Utada Hikaru performing Be My Last on Music Fighter.
In music news, the Mars Volta have a live album out, called Scabdates, compiling their live performances from the previous two years. Since they're known as a really great jam band, hardcore fans of the MV should get this for sure. Roger Waters' ambitious opera project, which has taken him 16 years to complete, has finally been released as Ca Ira. Its about the French Revolution, and the basic theme of being powerlessness in the face of loss. Fans of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters should definitely get this, even though this is completely different than what they did throughout their entire careers.
