Kanon always has very interesting titles for her stuff . BLUE BEAST BIOLOGY is no exception

Oh, she's in Nagoya in May!
Maybe I'm able to go.

Nagoya SPADE BOX opened last Dec & it's a nice Live House venue

It's worth going to see Kanon if you have the chance to

luminescence Q.E.D is already made available on Recochoku

luminescence Q.E.D 1st week position/sales - #30 ; 2,980

^Are those physical or digital sales? (or both)

Physical sales unfortunately :x

^Her physical sales are really low. That means in all of Japan, only 3000 people bought her album.

Unless most people buy it digitally. But still, you'd think she would have more fans who would buy her physical album, right?

I bought luminescence Q.E.D from HMV but Oricon don't count my order in the number tally since they only tabulate domestic sales within Japan

I'm sure if Oricon factor in sale numbers for both domestic & international , the number will be much higher

Kanon definitely have fans outside Japan for sure

Nobody uploaded the album yet. :(
Guess I gonna buy it anyway, but I really wanna listen to it!

I think her sales are fine. Her last album sold basically the same thing in the first week, didn't it? Also, when Kanon debuted in 2008 with "still doll" I'd have never imagined she'd still be active nowadays. That's good for her.

Oh, that would be fantastic, Karen! :heart
I'll buy it, but only after christmas.

I also think her sales are fine. They're steady at least. And it's probably what her label expects, cause else she wouldn't be able to do such elaborate shootin and limited editions for her releases.

Sure I do that on Mon as I will collect my parcel

As for Kanon's sales she has never been a strong seller during her Sony & now Warner days

Besides now her releases are more stable/frequent unlike when she was still under Sony

Sony probably had no idea how to market/promote Kanon properly . Warner does it way better

Thank goodness for once the postman left my parcel at my house's door cos I was able to get hold of luminescence Q.E.D (I bought the CD only) when I came back as I was away since Fri

Unfortunately , there's only ONE additional photo of Kanon inside the CD sleeves x_x

Guess there're a lot more photos if I were to buy the 2 CDs + Blu-ray version -_-

Also , the entire duration of the album is exactly 47 mins long (short ?)

Letters & gifts that Kanon received from fans in today's concert in Tokyo

I listened to the new album and without surprise I prefer her previous album. The only songs I truly like are Drink Drunk Music and Odette. the BEAST can’t BE STOpped and heibon na boku aren't bad but I'm not in love with them. When I heard the previews I thought that luminescence Q.E.D. would be nice even if it was obvious that the song was very generic. Finally, I find it boring.

Let's see if my view we'll change with the time.

After listening a lot to it, I can say I really like this album. As expected I much prefer the album songs. Unbalance by me, Odette, Heibon na Boku and Drink Drunk Music are awesome! Plus the ever adoring Love your enemies. I'm more than satisfied!

It's quite evident that the album tracks in luminescence Q.E.D. are a lot more experimental than the singles

That said I applaud Kanon for writing , composing & producing the entire album by herself . It ain't an easy thing to do but hopefully the new songs will stick in my mind in due time

At least I'm glad Unbalance by Me made the cut as I like the song & it's the 1st song in the album too

Yeah, Unbalance by Me really surprised me. Didn't expect to like it as much as I do.

2nd week sales for the album:
#163 465
Total: 3,445

I want something new from her. I know she released an album just last November, but, for whatever reason, that album did nothing for me.

Hard to believe it has been almost 10 years since Kanon's earlier works were released even though Sony was really poor in marketing her at that time

Kanon's older works is still the best . She should work with Mana again imo

Leftover BLUE BEAST BIOLOGY TOUR concert goods can be purchased via https://vvstore.jp/feature/detail/7215/

Also , Kanon has come up with a Blue Beast Coffee T-shirt that's being sold for 4,000 Yen which also can be bought at the same link

The design of the shirt is so cute , looks more like a big T-shirt to me

Kanon will be part of this year's HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA which she & the rest will perform during next month's HALLOWEEN PARTY 2017

DAIGO looks so normal it's so funny o_O xD

I feel that Kanon's previous outfits she wore for HALLOWEEN PARTY were better , this year was only ok but at least she went back to her Lolita roots
