5. Utada Hikaru- Beautiful World (PLANiTb Acoustica Mix)
The original version of this song was more piano based and had a pop feel to it while this version is obviously more rockier (hence it being an acoustica mix though it has some electric guitar sounds to it). The vocals from this song sound almost the same as the original version though Utada's vocals in this mix haven't been played about with sound filters and effects as much in this version which makes the vocals sound a bit more natural
4. SWEET BLACK featuring MAKI GOTO- Lady-Rise
Stumbled on this song on youtube just randomly clicking through video suggestions and found this, I really like the backing music to this and I really like the vocals especially during the chorus when they sound their strongest.
3. Koda Kumi featuring Misono- It's All Love
This is a collaboration song between sisters and from what I've been able to gather from various websites writing about this song it's based on a phone call they had about one of them having a bad relationship and it sort of sounds like a phone call as it is a constant back and forth between the sisters rather than taking certain segments of the song between them. There is a nice blend of styles in this song with Misono's rock sensibilities mixing with Koda's RnB/Dance/rock sensibilities well, though the rock vibe does seem to overlay to much (though Koda has sung songs with a J-Rock vibe to them)
2. Gackt- Vanilla
The intro has a real nice Ska vibe to it, Gackt's vocals sound really good. It's also one of those types of songs were I tend to mishear lyrics, often I thing Gackt is singing about cheesecakes.
1. Aya Kamiki- A Constellation (2007 version)
I have highlighted this song in my one off Six for Sunday though that version was J-Rock, this version has been altered to sound like a ballad and it works well. In fact I would go as far as to say it works just as well if not better as it sounds more soulful, I still enjoy the original version but this one has grabbed me more.
