"I don't know much about Japanese music, but this is really excellent none the less. It's really heavy pop music, with smashing beats, strong guitar riffs, and a constant high energy. This isn't really like what we'd call pop in the West, it's really hardcore.Track listing:01. Dawn

The shining star of SPEED

"This debut solo album from former speed lead vocalist Eriko Imai proves that she had the power to become a star all on her own or with a group. The album is very far off from the material she did with speed, which was also great music. It is more rock and roll then pop. The beats are very uptempo and there is a lot of great guitar and keyboard work on the album. Her voice has also grown alot since her days with speed. She has matured from a young pop singer, to a truley great vocalist. Even if you are not too into J-Pop music this is a great rock/pop album and if you want to get into this kind of music, or were a fan of speed or any other J-Pop group, you will really want to check this out. This one album that by no means will dissapoint you."
