Just out of curiosity, for those who bought the album and were able to get a first press edition:
What did you do with your sticker? I have no clue what to do with mine. And was yours of T Kimura too, or do they have a set of stickers that prolly make up a full picture?

LOL! Yeah, I just realized it's actually the picture used on the CD+DVD cover of Raimei. So I'm really thinking there were different ones. Just... what do you do with it? It's almost the size of the lyrics booklet.

I heard remixers play move is good. I'm hesitant to buy the other HTMR's (1 or 2) - or Fast Forward simply because there is about 8 songs on the album.. and I'll have to pay $20. 20 / 8 = $2.50 per song ... is it really worth it???

HTMR I and II are cheaper than that over at Yesasia, even for the Japan Versions. And you could get free shipping (usually takes 1 week to USA). But yeah, Remixers Play Move is prolly better than either of those. The only thing with Remixers Play Move is that it's an even earlier release than HTMR I (it's their first remix album). So, it's only got remixes of tracks from Electrock and Worlds Of The Mind. The other two will include remixes of songs from Operation Overload 7. Then again, HTMR III has like 2 tracks from HTMR I and II, but Remixers Play Move is a lot harder to find and will cost you more. You've got a lot of things to balance when making this decision.

Remixer play move... i didnt enjoy as much. Much of the tracks are repetitive. There are some good ones, but i like euromovement better.

Well, I actually like Tropican Trops, but most other people don't. The one thing about Tropi Trops is that all the songs are Latin style, so there's not really a lot of difference in the overall sound between the songs like on other remix albums.

Oh... I guess I'll go with remixers play move just because there are more songs on the album. Thanks for the opinions!

Here's my review of the latest album, GRID.
1. GOTHICA (Symphony No.1) I personally did not care for this track. I thought it was a weak introduction and did not suit the overall album. The drumroll and ... whatever it is that follows it seems a bit cheesy.
2. FADED ~色褪せたアルバム This song did not help my opinion as it starts right off with synthesized voices. I find synthesized voices extremely silly. I do like the buildup and the chorus, but just those "voices" continue in the background throughout the song. I also think that because of the slower pace in the verses that it should have been later in the album, but I just happen to think that high-energy songs should be in the beginning.
3. ANGEL EYES Ever since the single was released this song has grown on me. I really like the chorus and the intro is very smooth.
4. DISCO TIME This song remains one of my favorites. When I first saw the title I was a little skeptical, but it has such high energy and I absolutely love the slap-bass going on in it. Then the pv came along and I fell in love again. I did think the robot voice a little silly initially, but it has completely grown on me.
5. WHITE FOX This isn't a bad song, but I consider it a weaker song in comparison to the other non-single songs (i.e. namida 3000, disinfected gen). It definitely isn't one of my favorites as it is slower tune and the chorus isn't particularly addicting like Angel Eyes.
6. THIS IS MY HEARTACHE Since this was on the Disco Time single, it was immediately overshadowed by the Disco Time song. ^^; I like it more than White Fox, but it's not one of my favorites. I do like the chorus, but I think it is a very average song.
7. NAMIDA 3000 This song is more to my taste as it is in the flavor of Disco Time. High-energy, electronics, rockin' = I like this song. The chorus is great with a strong beat. I love the bridge in this song, with Motsu singing and Yuri doing harmony.
8. MISHA (SKIT) This song took me completely by surprise. I love it and I thought its placement directly in the middle of the album was an excellent idea. I had heard a part of it on T-Kimura's blog, but I assumed it was from a video game since he's such an... *cough*otaku*cough*. I had a friend listen to it and she said, "Oh! It makes me happy!" (ahaha) I really like this track.
9. FREAKY PLANET I enjoy the feel of this song. I even like the distorted electronic voice. I find it very anime-esque, with all the little noises throughout the song especially in the intro. The chorus is catchy, although I have no idea what that voice is saying. The "lalalala" part towards the end is a little weird for me, but I do like the rest of that section.
10. GIRL (YOU WANNA MOVE) There is a very march-like feel and it has a nice groove. I feel like one could dance the "robot" very well to this tune, but maybe that could be said for most of their songs.
11. DISINFECTED GENERATION I love the chorus in this song. VERY catchy with great harmonies. Sometimes I can't get it out of my head. I like the rock-style of this song with hints of electronica in the background.
12. 雷鳴-OUT OF KONTROL- This song was a little strange for me initially with Motsu's gravelly singing. The energy is great and I think it suits Initial D perfectly.
13. SAILAWAY I like the trance-style so it was easy for me to get into this song. Definitely a favorite track of mine from this album.
I don't particularly care to comment on the remixes as they were not mixed by move.

I just got my copy of the CD/DVD edition in the mail tonight. I'll do a review later, I just want to say that when I found out that Akira Yamaoka remixed a Move song (and is working with t-kimura on an album) that I nearly wet myself with delight.
Also, if I can figure out how, I'll upload some of the DVD for the less fortunate.

After hearing many of move's singles, I finally made a full album purchase by getting GRID when it came out on iTunes. Every song, from Faded to Sail Away, is astonishing. I don't remember the last time I had such a hard time picking a favorite song from an album. They are all so good in their own ways. Between the driving punk force of Disinfected Generation, the tense rhythmic-melodic interplay of Faded, the massive thumping dynamics and drama of Namida 3000, the effervescent enchantment of Angel Eyes, the dark and nimble beats of Girl (You Wanna Move), the goofy electronic fun of Freaky Planet and Disco Time, the soothing sweetness of White Fox and This Is My Heartache, the beautifully melancholic fantasy-trance of Sail Away, and the monstrous rock energy of Raimei... there's just no choosing a favorite. t-kimura's compositions and the way motsu and yuri bounce off each other rhythmically, harmonically, melodically, emotionally is so amazing.
They're just so good... and like nothing and nobody here in the US.
