"I've listened to some of the songs on this album and have to admit that it doesn't represent DCT's best work. I wish that the "Delicious" and "Love Unlimited" albums were available here."

"Ai wo yobou!"--"Calling Love!"

"Welcome to J-pop, different from World Music. The "Worldwide" version of "Sing or Die" being offered here is a wonderful educational opportunity. Please be pleasantly surprised by this brilliant translation of the Japanese version of this CD. The meter stumbles a little in some of the songs ("Sonna no Aijanai" and "Gekkou" work much better than "This Is Not Love At All" and "Moonlight"). If you can get hold of the original version, also, and you study Japanese, you can expand your vocabulary and phrase usage when you become familiar with both. Yoshida Miwa's lyrics give us an opportunity to hear what makes an engaging song to Japanese listeners. The content and attitudes reflected in the songs speak to and of a Japanese soul...and sometimes to the universal human condition. I think the nicest thing about this CD is that the first track, "Sing or Die" goes untranslated: "Calling Love!" Miss Yoshida sings from the depths of a joyous heart."

Great!!!

"Miwa , who is the vocalist of this band, has so much of a talent enough to knock me (& probably you too) out! You should listen and feel her voice once before you die. You don't want to be in the it's-no-use-crying-over-spilt-milk situation, do you? So, the only thing you have to do now is to get this "Sing or Die"!"
