Well today’s the day that we in the USA celebrate our Independence Day! That’s assuming you’re in the USA, if you’re in another country than it’s a different. But the most important thing to do is celebrate the birthday of the USA, and have a great time. Although fun in the sun is great, the most important thing is to be safe. So use sunscreen and not swim in shark infested waters. And as my personal celebration, the reviews will be a little different, no more perfect structure, it’ll be a little more personal. Like no more starting off with the title, I find it really mundane and so mediocre. The pictures rules will still apply for the covers, but otherwise things will be the same. Thanks a bunch everyone, and I should release my Best Of 08! by the Sunday, thanks for being patient.

Well one thing that I have realized is that the site seems to take forever to load in some cases, something that I’m sure annoys people. So to counteract this, the covers will now be smaller and hopefully less in size. That will help the loading speeds and cut down space used, a small yet very helpful thing. So get ready for smaller covers and more compact reviews! Although I have yet to decide about albums so that will be a challenge.

And on another note: Get ready for my first semi-annual “Best of…” countdown. This will include a few songs and albums that have made it to the first half of the Best of ‘08. And it’s semi-annual so one will happen after June and another will happen shortly before the new year. So get ready, although I’m not sure how it’ll happen, but it will be good, be reassured.

No this is not about the intro by Ayumi Hamasaki, this is about a little break. Now I know that it seems like I’ve been taking breaks like crazy, but this time I need it. I have my AP Exam next Tuesday, and I NEED to study. I also have one research paper due this Friday, but let’s not forget about my final exam on that day too. And I almost forgot to mention that I have my biology research paper due next Monday, and I haven’t started it yet. So for the time being, or until Friday night, there will be no more posts. I hope that you’ll still enjoy all the other reviews I’ve done in the meantime.

Sorry I haven’t been keeping up with the review schedules, it’s just too hectic and it’s a lot easier to write reviews as I see fit. Well I guess when it hits me. So therefore I have a choice, or rather you do. Would you like a future review page, or just continue to post what I will review on posts? The choice is yours to make. Voting ends on the 28th.

Upcoming Review:
Don’t Stay - Tamaki Nami
Ami Suzuki - Around the World
ayaka - I believe
BoA - DO THE MOTION

Those are the only ones that I know I will be able to do for the rest of the month. I have the AP Exam that determines if I get a college credit in less than two weeks so that will keep me busy. And my final exam for my AP class is in a little more than a week. And I have two research papers due, so I will be slow. Just please be patient.

Due to school and such I won’t be able to post as much on this site.  And with that being said I will be removing the links within the week.  So sorry.

Sorry to say but I will be taking a small break so I have no idea how many reviews I’ll be able to do, so please be patient.

Decisions decisions, that’s what I have.  I’m deciding whether to post download links or not.  If I do, more people will come.  But also I could get in trouble for sharing music, and I don’t feel like paying any fines or jail time.  So what to do??? Feel free to comment on any ideas.  And if I do post links, I’ll also review some BoA, Koda Kumi, Namie Amuro, etc and review some of Hikki’s and Ayu’s older works.

Hello, and welcome to GoldHikari!  First things first, this blog will be for reviewing japanese music and even some news if I see fit.  And I’m still unsure about download links, but they are a big might.  And next the blog was named after Utada Hikaru’s Stay GOLD and HIKARI, hense the name.  So it means Gold Light.
