August 22nd, 2008, 17:39 Posted By: wraggster

Welcome to this week's Movie/Music news roundup, containing new Japanese and Hong Kong Video and Music releases from this week listed at Play-Asia.com. Around 250 new items are covered in this week, including new J-Pop, Anime as well as Japanese, Hong Kong and Western movie releases and much more.

Johnny's boys never stop, right after News released the DVD recordings of their winter concert, Arashi published their new single Truth/ Kaze no Mukou E. Completely opposed to their last single One Love, Truth is a fast tempo dance number that instills a feel of nervous excitement into its listeners.

While Truth features a darker atmosphere, its accompanying piece Kaze no mukou e is relaxed, styled like a folk song which tempts listeners to sing along. Truth/ Kaze no Mukou e is released in two Limited Versions [type one (already sold out) and type two] and a Standard Edition.

Right after the release of Tales of Vesperia, the "Tales of" debut on the Xbox360™, its OST came out. Like all game music, different pieces are used to depict different scenes or places, and following the "Tales of" convention, although there are melancholy pieces, the sense of hope never fails to make their appearance.

Like the idol groups of Johnny Entertainment's, Macross Frontier formed their own group out of Sheryl Nome and Ranka Lee. As an established artist Sheryl Nome has a very strong and refined singing voice that brings out the essence of Yoko Kanno's melodies while the younger and less experienced Ranka Lee gives the song a refreshing feel.

The new opening of Macross Frontier, Lion is a song about love and the strength to survive the continual struggle between planets.

Here's a summary of all new releases that were published between Saturday, August 16th and Friday, August 22nd. If some specific item that you are looking for is missing, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service with your request.
