[Single Review] Break a spell by Mami Kawada

Break a spell is Mami Kawada's 14th single released this February 26, 2014 under NBC Universal. The titular track was used as the second ending theme for the anime Tokyo Ravens.

It has been a year since the release of FIXED STAR, and Mami is yet to wow us with a good single. Borderland did great, and so were the singles before that, relatively. Did this long-awaited release finally remind us of Mami's glory?

[Album Review] Kuchu Puzzle by KOTOKO

Kuchu Puzzle is KOTOKO's 6th full length studio album released this November 20, 2013 under Warner Home Video. The album contains the A-sides of her previous singles Light my fire, →unfinished→, Restart, and Loop-the-Loop.

With KOTOKO now on her 2nd album under WHV, she needs to pick up the pace to constantly put up her brand, a brand now untagged from her previous I've Sound label. Is she still doing good outside of the I've circle?
