Wow...had I not seen a new pic she added on myspace, I wouldn't have known about the album.

The official site doesn't say anything about a mini-album though. Where are you guys getting this from?

from the previous page:

mini-album tracklist:

Sounds interesting, I hope we get a mix of upbeat and ballad!

I'm so excited for her new mini-album! I'm really starting to love her music, listened to her almost 200 times this week on my Last.fm~ :heart

This is what started my obsession for CK, if anyone cares to check it out. It's such a rare song, but I love it so much :D

website updated/FLASH covers:

:| !!

i like the normal version better than the limited version

it's actually really pretty imo

it's better than her best album covers...
i hate how the black background/clothes aren't "BLACK"--haha, it's like washed out :-\
and her hair looks dead.

She looks good in these. And I like how it's textless.
Even though I wish it was a full album, this will do.

Been re-listening to a lot of her stuff lately.

bigger covers:

I actually really don't care for those covers :no. But I'm glad to see she's releasing something new! Yay!

I love how Victoria sounds!!! :)

The covers are very interesting and unique. I like how it's textless also (:

Same here! I hate it when they smother the images in text. I like either no text or just a tiny bit (just the title, maybe the artist) text with a thin, clearly visible font.

Then again, there might still be text on the actual product D :

I wish her official site was updated better...I can't even find a tracklist.

FLASH PV (fierce! :smitten)

yes YES OH GOD YES XD.

THAT'S what I've been waiting for. You never let me down Kuri <3

Also, look at those abs! o.O

OH MY JESUS YES. She is looking hot and the song is off the chain!

Just in case no one's seen the TULLY'S commercial with Victoria sample:

Loving the new PV!

Nice song! There's something kpop about it but I love it

Ooooh I really liked the song!!! I loved the 80s sound it had :yes. I'm now really looking forward to the mini-album!

SHE'S MY NEW QUEEN OMG :heart

FLASH PV is absolutely amazing. Kuri was so sexy there! and that dancer... WTF HE WAS SO LIKE RAIN. :Q___ I wonder if they made it on purpose... not that I mind ofc. :luv2
Song is my new jam! I adore every minute of it!

I'm feelin the mini album!
Anyone else think Victoria was written about Victoria from Twilight? ^_^

Lol I might message Crys and ask her.

I love this album so much more than color change. This is amazing. the intro is epic! (and creepy)

I pray is a very wonderful song!!!
really curious with the lyrics...somebody has the translation of it?

No. 13 for her first day.

well, at least she made the top 20...? :P

This mini is just perfect! Victoria has very unique tune, I love person who composed this. Her voice is flawless in Happy, it's awesome cover. :heart

This is pretty saddening. On one hand, it's a mini-album and those never seem to do that well. People don't know what to do with them XD

But on the other hand, I LOVE this EP and every single song on it. I guess they don't dig her new style :S

#13? Wow, wasn't expecting that low...but again, FLASH is the only song that really stands out to me on this. I would have preferred FLASH as a single, followed by another single, then a full-length album.

Haha...anyone else think Victoria is written about Victoria from Twilight??

OMG i didn't expect that the Mini album is really awesome :O , i want it :weep , i might buy her CD :heart

first week sales:
:( at least it made the top 30, i guess...

Lol you guys are acting like she got #129 or something. At least she's in the Top 30 unlike some of the artists I love who are just as talented.

Yes, you can say that but it doesn't really matter that other artists don't do as well, what matters to most people here is that she generally does better. That's what's sort of disappointing.

No one is denying that it's still achieved some level of succes : P

Oh man i was hoping for top 20 D: it's really a great album :grumpy

Awww well at least she's made it to the top 30 lol. It's better than failing to chart period.

As far as the album goes, weeeeell it's just alright. My favorite is still FLASH. The other songs are just meh.

I am loving this mini a lot. My favs are 'Victoria', 'FLASH', and 'I pray'.

I really love FLASH and Victoria. Gawd, I love Victoria. I wish she would do more darker songs like that one < 3.

fan-net lists a new album to be released on December 8.

i thought she'd release it in like..early january, lol. but i hope the december release is true!

new album already? that's quick for her...

I'm so scared the album will bomb if the single doesn't end up being successful.

As long as it at least manages to perform like Color Change! did, I'll be happy ^^

i love album cover...

I know that. Didn't see them on the official site though. Thanks

Crys just said on twitter that the PV for Journey premiered today. Hopefully it gets uploaded soon! I wanna see

CAN'T W8 :luv2

PV IS OUT


goddess, flawless, amazing, beautiful, incredible, talented, mindblowing, better than your queen etc.

and I found new song I'll be jamming to death :heart

I enjoyed it. She's incredibly beautiful.

what a lovely PV! i love the song & crystal looks stunning! :heart that red hair really works for her.

Mmm not too fond of the new hair color but I am excited about the new single and album! Ohhh I'm getting spoiled this X-mas!!! Everyone's releasing new stuff :luv2!

EDIT: LOL I didn't see the PV had been posted! Journey is a nice song :yes..kind of odd but otherwise nice.

i like the PV...i think it's good and natural...
the song is not as strong as i expected...
but i like it...

The song isn't really as strong as I thought either, but the PV made up for it.

^yeah...the verse is kinda weak and forgetable...
the chorus is amazing, but i think the background music / arrangement is kinda make it weaker... nothing POW or Slap you in the face moment... so overall the song become kinda flat...
i love the ending part a lot...

^^I agree, I like it, but it's not anything too amazing.

It's a ballad. I just don't like ballads in general, so I won't comment on it. Still looking forward to the album!

Journey is a nice song and the PV is beautiful!
Makes me calm somehow.
