Tiny Mention Of Rule / Sparkle in S'pore's Straits Times

[KarenPang]

I saw this in the Life section of the Straits Times when I was reading the papers & I decided to scan it up .

S'poreans , it's on page 7 if you want to know .



ugh frankly I don't like it when they compared it against Koda's TRICK (since it's between a single & an album) & the worst thing's why they talked about the single & NOT NEXT LEVEL

at least the reviewer said that the double A-side's impressive so it's good

[~X2RADialbomber~]

3 and a 1/2 stars for everything? It would be nice to have some highs and lows in his rating.

[pommy48]

@_@ wow, the star rating make it look like that person was just too lazy XD

[Yumsushi]

Nu metal? So I guess that makes Dir en Grey a pop band too!

[Lee^ChaN]

getting decidedly dirtier & noisier?? --> doesn't sound right to me

TRICK sells sex-appeal & strip-tease??

[SolarAngel]

Route to queendom..? She IS the queen who is at risk of being dethroned IMO but it was a good reign while it lasted.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

the one that wrote this article is so ignorant.


thanks for it anyway

ya i agree. that reviewer knows nothing. Why didn't he mentioned that Rule was featured as the Theme song for Dragon Ball Evolution movie? This shows he knows that much..i rest my case

anyway, we know Ayu's music has gone up to the NEXT LEVEL!

i second that

[waterballoon]

Thanks for the head up!!!

But wow it's kind of weird to compare a SINGLE to an ALBUM but eh, never expected much from Singapore print-media reviews anyways.

I know it's a bit retarded to compare a single against an album

they should have reviewed NEXT LEVEL & hello TRICK was released way back in Jan

[love in music]

Koda Kumi's new album TRICK continues to sell sex appeal and strip tease along with her urban-inspired J-pop.

no, just no.

[Meat Pao]

Do they just rate anything Jpop at 3.5 stars? Even A COMPLETE got 3.5 stars too. And not surprising that such reviews come up on Singapore newspapers because they always sound ridiculous and not to mention ignorant and totally unaware about the J-pop scene

[MissElin_]

Haha, this was a bit funny. Lol.
Thx for the laughter.

[se7entheaven]

getting dirtier and noisier???? guess they mean it's the music... tbh Rule and Sparkle is quite noisy LOL. But in a good way of course

[Chef+Vanny]

^ exactly. Ku's been off sex since Under, even though the PV of TABOO was dirty, the song wasn't. Some people find clowns sexy I guess xD
