Liking Youhna's music is a kind of a guilty pleasure for me
 She reminds me of Avril Lavigne's debut album, but a bit more upbeat. I liked the song she did for the Bleach ED (Houki Boushi i think it was called?) and also liked her Jyou Ou Sei ED.

Not the full soundtrack, just four of Aki's songs. They're also on Napster, by the way.

I haven't listened to her new single yet, but I've been a fan since she debuted, and I must say, "Whut?" Is that based on the single's cover, or the actual music? Because if it's that latter than it sounds like this single is about 180 degrees different than her other material, because the last thing I'd describe her as is "Nana-esque." If anything, her other music (and image) reminds me of Hachi from Nana (excpet that she doesn't sing, of course). |

I was referring to both, but I've never heard anything else from Younha, so I have no idea if her style just took a big left turn.
Edit: Samples here. |

I agree with you, I was at first curious on this comment because although i've never heard much of Younha, she never left this sort of impression on me. I've only heard Houkiboushi, and the image of the PV looked very bright and poppy. And the other song i've heard by her, Ashita, Tenki ni Nare, reflects the same thing. Her image on the cover looks much different as well http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=ESCL-2654 Last edited by shirokiryuu on Wed Jun 14, 2006 4:55 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Well then, listen to the samples. ;p Her site has a music video, too.

Hey! What is that? lol. I fail to see how it is Otsuka-ish (and she's not that bad is she?  )
Anyway, that's an interesting description of Younha in your review, though I don't know if I'd necessarily agree with it. She seems cuter than that to me. |

Never said Otsuka was bad (read the linked review), just that her image is more...pink...

i guess it'd be hard to characterise an artist on one single, but using all her work from houki boushi as a reference, i don't think ashlee, avril or nana osaki are good comparisons music-wise or image-wise. (she's probably to fat to play nana anyway..kidding) if you've heard and seen all her work since she popped into japan, she's too happy-go-lucky and good natured for those comparisons. her music is too 'pink'...and leans more toward that 'rock star' track. i agree with the person who said that she is 'cute' in all terms. honestly, her 'anime' songs are the only great songs, but i hope she gets better since she has a good voice. also wish her piano was louder.[/i] |

Kiss me Goodbye sounds interesting, but I'd rather hear it with majestic airships flying in the background when FFXII comes out.

have 'you' listened to more than just the samples? are you listening to what she's singing about. it's definitely not ashlee, avril, or nana. just because she's wearing black, doesn't make her edgy or bratty like the mentioned artists try to be. it's not that i don't like those artists, it's just that you are superimposing an inaccurate image to the reader. i hope you aren't serious about banning people who express a dissenting opinion based on actual knowledge. |

you need to relax guy  take a load off, put your feet up etc. It's called a joke.
Reviews are opinions not "fact", so anything you read in a review should be taken with a grain of salt anyway. To be honest, the first thing that popped into my head when I listened to Younha's debut album was "Avril Lavigne minus the teen-angst", which is probably why I like her music. It's very poppy and "pink" and the perfect description of her image and music is "cute". |

I'm hoping I'll like it more in the game. Actually, it's not that I curently dislike it more that I'm just indifferent to it. Maybe it was because I could basically chart the chord progressions in it the first time I heard it, I don't know. It just doesn't seem to have the same flair that Eyes on Me, Melodies of Life or Suteki Da Ne had. Aki is a more palatable singer than Rikki though, I must give her that. |
