Song: Naturally
Artist: Hamasaki Ayumi
Album: I Am...
Genre: Pop, trance
Language: Japanese
Length: 4:17 3 MB
Comments: Hamasaki is possibly the best known Japanese pop singer? Maybe? Even if she isn't, she's still pretty darn good. This album is a bit old, but it's still really good. It's not too fast, and it's not hyper like Otsuka Ai. It's a bit speedier than a calm mellow song, but not anything that will get you tired just by listening to it.

Song: The Question is, what is the Question?
Artist: Scooter
Album: Jumping all over the World
Genre: Techno, hard dance, happy hardcore, jumpstyle
Language: English, but Scooter is a German group
Length: 3:46 5 MB
Comments: I heard about Scooter from a friend, who heard about them from a German exchange student. This song does get a little repetitive... But if you don't get overly bored with it it's a good song. It seems a lot longer than it is though. (To me anyway...)

Song: Asterisk
Artist: Orange Range
Album: Иatural
Genre: Alternative Rock
Language: Japanese
Length: 4:15 5 MB
Comments: This song is the first opening theme to Bleach, and is AMAZING. Orange Range is the best. Their style is highly unique. But about this song... It's a wonderful blend of singing and "rap." It clips along at a decent tempo; I like to listen to it when I'm riding my bike and sing along breathlessly (to the amusement of passers-by). 'Tis a happy song.

Song: Otherland
Artist: Blind Guardian
Album: A Twist in the Myth
Genre: Power Metal, Progressive Metal, Folk Metal
Language: English
Length: 5:15 8 MB
Comments: This song was written for the [best] book series [in the world] "Otherland" by Tad Williams. Check them out (the books) if you're into fantasy or science fiction or having fun sexy times. Oh, and this song also helped to get me interested in power metal. It's definitely not the most intense thing you've ever heard, but good nonetheless.

Song: Danse Macabre
Artist: Saint-Saëns
Album: It's probably on more than one, so...
Genre: Broad: classical; more specifically: awesome
Language: all. :]
Length: 7:09 6 MB
Comments: If you're new to the classical music scene, don't knock it before you try it. Translated, the title is the "Dance of Death," which makes it sound even cooler, ね? It was rather controversial when Saint-Saëns wrote it, and it wasn't accepted very well. Now, however, you'd be a freak not to like it. DOWNLOAD THIS NOW.

Song: Leb' Die Sekunde
Artist: Tokio Hotel
Album: Schrei
Genre: Alternative rock, glam rock (like European-style visual kei)
Language: German
Length: 3:44 6MB
Comments: Tokio Hotel sucks when they sing in English. For serious. BUT. Their German music is made of so much win it's unbelieveable. Plus they're only 18! Crazy! This song is another good one to ride your bike to. It's kind of inspiring? Happy? I have very basic emotions, I guess. o_o;;

Song: Fall for You
Artist: Secondhand Serenade
Album: A Twist in My Story
Genre: Acoustic rock, piano rock
Language: English
Length: 3:05 2MB
Comments: Aww. This song is cute/sad. Depressing. If you've just broken up with someone, it'll have you in tears (if you're sad about it, that is. >>); if you're in love you'll probably think it's adorable. Very subjective these here musicks.
