Mixerr Album Reviews #777

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review Lil Ai - Ryukyu Rhymer again due to lack of attention.

[Lil Ai is a female pop singer from the Ryukyu Islands in Japan. Lil Ai (リルアイ) is Ai Kawamitsu (アイ川満愛) [Kawamitsu Ai (川満愛)].]
Ryukyu Rhymer was released on Toukuma Records in 2003. This is her debut album for Toukuma Records. She is also an accomplished dancer known in the underground scene in the country of Japan. Lil Ai designs her clothes too. Her charm in her singing makes people happy. While certainly not too hardcore, her charm lies in the music. There is a youthful presence in her voice when it comes to singing. Her voice is super cute.

The rap tune "HOLLA" is her point of momentum where she really shines. Her rapping is somewhat subpar though. Her rap is not the best. Her technique of rapping is somewhat versatile and yet hard to understand since she is rapping in Japanese making it difficult for English fans to understand. But you either like or don't like Lil Ai. That's the way it is and that's how she wants it.

Your Love Is is a smooth solo song. A smooth love song filled with such emotion is the best way to describe the song Your Love Is. Love is electrifying.

HANA [粋な] is a smooth soulful track about the flowers in the country of Japan. HANA [粋な] is absolutely beautiful and sultry.

On Ryukyu Rhymer, Lil Ai’s rapping technique is a unique style of blending the Japanese language into the English language. For example: “Kimi ma niha” “Lil Ai is gonna give you some more Ain’t no party like a Lil Ai party because a Lil Ai party don’t stop Everybody in the place You Say Oh~~!” Lil Ai transitions from using the Japanese language by transitioning to use the English language next and then back to using her native Japanese language again as usual.

On the track My Name is Lil Ai, Lil Ai is looking for someone to be down with her tonight. Will she find someone to be down with her tonight? Is she going to find someone to be down with her tonight? That someone to love. That someone to hang on to. All the girls say she will be forever along. All the boys tell her to ignore the haters. Her name is Lil Ai.


But you either like or don't like Lil Ai. That's from the fans point of view. That's the way it is and that's how she wants it. There's a melody to the tracks even if the beats are not catchy and horrible.

I rate this album, Ryukyu Rhymer, 4/5****!
