"I am sort of a new fan of Jpop, but I've heard enough bands to know that Do As Infinity is definitely one of the top ones out there. I'm not too fond of the first song on the CD: Summer Days, but the rest of them are just beautiful! They have such a beautiful blend of songs and Tomiko's voice fits so well with them. My favorites are Fukai Mori (Deep Forest), Hi No Ataru Sakamichi, and Enrai. I definitely recommend this CD. Just go out and buy it! You won't be sorry."

"I am a fan of J-pop, so naturally I like this album. But even if you don't think too highly of Japanese music, you need to hear this album, at least Tangerine Dream, Fukai Mori, and Tookumade. Those are the ones I'm most familiar with, and they are some of the best music I've heard in a long time. If you don't believe me and don't want to pay almost 50 bucks for a CD, then just try to find one of their songs, or a music video somewhere online, listen to it, and if you don't like it, it's no big deal....but I know you will like it, so it's kind of a moot point then, huh?
And although I am an anime fan, although I do play DDR as a workout routine, although I am spending my own time besides my college classes to learn Japanese, although...etc.etc.etc, I am saying this from the standpoint of a music lover, not just some weirdo who thinks Japanese pop-culture rocks (but it does!). I feel this album is absolutely worth your time and is a valued addition to any music collection, whether you speak Japanese or not.

"I am a big Inuyasha fan. So I really wanted to know who did the ending song (Deep Forest) because I loved it! So I snooped around and found Do As Infinity. I like Japanese Rock/Metal and said to myself "is the pop just as good" After hearing more DAI it really is. I give this album a two thumbs up. I recommend to any Japanese music fans or at least Inuyasha fans.

"I'm a big fan of Do As Infinity and it's great to have all their best songs on 1 album. If your gonna start somewhere with Do As Infinity, start here. If your new to Japanese pop then Do As Infinity is a great start.
I picked up this CD with a DVD extra (which I can't find on Amazon) and it was great to have all the great songs with their equally great videos.
Tell the world music industry to publish japanese music in america. Buy Japanese music. (Even if you downloaded them anyway.)"
