Great Album!
, April 3, 2001Reviewer: junkohamaguchi - See all junkohamaguchi's reviewsI wasn't expecting this album would be so great 'cause she sings in English. I didn't like the English version of "Winter Song" but this album rocks! -
Yoi-sugoi! It gets even better!
, December 29, 1999Reviewer: diva_globetrotter - See all diva_globetrotter's reviewsThis album actually comes in TWO flavors: the original Japanese and this "Worldwide" version, in which all lyrics except "Sing or Die" are translated into English. Sure, the meter suffers in the translation process, but if you can get hold of both versions and you study Japanese, it's a pleasant learning tool!
DCT has been around for about 10 years, but very little of their work has been heard in the US. If you like "Sing or Die," you'll be happy to pick up all of their albums even without previewing. You may have to inquire at a Japanese imports store, but it's worth it. BTW, this price is awesome! New J-pop CDs go for about $33.00 apiece! ;-)
Gambatte-ne! ...

Pro Reviews: Sing or Die
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The U.S. debut by Dreams Come True (they have many more releases in their native Japan, where they're stadium-level stars) is almost exactly what people who have never heard Pizzicato Five probably think Pizzicato Five sounds like. This is slickly commercial synth pop with none of the irony or subversive qualities that make Pizzicato Five so intriguing, and not as many of the hooks and melodies that make them so much fun to listen to. While there's nothing actively bad about Sing or Die, some of the songs sound as if a computer programmed to synthesize the 1996-1998 ~Billboard Top Ten singles chart wrote them. The ultra-cheesy "Will to Love," the opening track and first single, is a particular offender in this regard. However, a few of the songs are catchy and silly enough to please the discerning pop fan. The soaring "Dandelion Hill" sounds like a really good Spice Girls single, and "This Is Not Love at All," cleverly built around a sample of a ringing telephone, has a slinky and dramatic charm oddly reminiscent of some of Trevor Horn's more over the top mid-'80s productions. Perhaps best of all, "Kelo Kelo" blends tropical percussion, an oddly whiny and utterly delightful lead vocal by Miwa Yoshida (imagine Macy Gray as a member of Bananarama), and a singsong melody that's the most memorable aspect of the whole record. The high points don't quite outnumber the low on Sing or Die, but they are there. - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide |
