"having heard heavy gauge, drive and pure soul, i definately recommend this album. a large variety of songs lingering between rock and ballads makes it a good listen. i love the song 3 years later (track before Im in Love) and also all the other songs are fantastic eventhough i dont understand the lyrics, the music is excellent even for the non-Japanese fan worthwile!"

"Super! Glay is a fantastic band I ever heard in my life. Although it's Japanese, I like it because it is just GOOD! By the way, I think this is the best rock band in Japan now."

"This album from GLAY offers a more punk and hard-core version of their musik which is usually influenced by pop. I prefer this album because Teru's voice works well with the rock songs and "Yuuwaku" has to be the best song in the world (voted Best Song of 1998 in Japan). I enjoyed how each of the songs sounded different (although some had some strange titles "Fried Chicken and Beer")."
Pure Soul ROCKS!!

"All of GLAY albums are great!! But PURE SOUL has got to take the cake. Even if you don't understand Japanese, the music alone is hypnotizing and so pick-me-up-ish. My favourite song would have to be "You May Dream" or "Soul Love". In fact, all of the songs are my favourite. I'm really glad I own this album. Every track on this album is upbeat, some are a little slower, but it's an amazing album for anybody starting out in Jrock. Their newer works are a bit different than their earlier works, and Pure Soul was an album made just in the middle, music that's just right. DEFINITELY 2 THUMBS UP!!!"

"This album title song is a very heartfelt song of thanks. It's not a common love song, but it is a song that a young man who gets a success thanks to his mother. And this album including Hard Rock songs,too. Buy it!!"
