"I love J-pop and was looking to try out a new artist so I went with Boa on a whim. Since this is a Greatest Hits album, I figured I'd try this one. Most of the songs are catchy, particularly "Valenti" and "Shine We Are!", however I didn't like this as much as I was hoping I would. The tracks seem reminiscent of late 90s pop like Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys type stuff, songs I would have liked when I was 16 but find hard to appreciate at 25. I have to cut her some slack though, since I found out she was a teenager when she recorded these. It's light and catchy and if you're into pop, you will like it."
