We're getting a lot more stuff on this album than we did on Dejavu though.. and yeah with every album announcement, people will obviously get excited, it's new material

You setting your expectations low is exactly the same as us with our expectations high. Neither is based on anything as of yet other than our feelings and either one or the other will be proven right/wrong for each person

i literally screamed when i saw it @ work... lol
this release is even more flawless s i thouht it would be!
i knew this album would be something special, BUT not good as it turned out!! :heart

i'll get the CD+Photobook & CD+2DVD versions and i can't even deal with all this awesomeness!
especially when this is the tour i'm going to see her with Lee^Chan, Corvina & a friend! :love

and when i saw the site update with the video section...
i think the PV chronology is kinda...

Rock:
Poppin' love cocktail feat. TEEDA
Boom Boom Boys
No Mans Land (i feel something dark rock like the real Emotion -Black Cherry Tour Version-)

Dance/Sexy:
V.I.P. feat. T-PAIN
KO-SO-KO-SO
LayDown (get Under vibes)
ESCALATE (sure the new UNIVERSE/ECSTASY/TABOO/etc)
Love Me Back

RnB:
So Nice
Slow feat. Omarion (Passing By, BUT good)

Pop/Happy/Cutie Stuff:
IN THE AIR
Everyday (i think something like WIND/Comes Up)
Love Technique (this is sure the cutie all over ur face stuff)

Ballad:
You are not alone (Live Version) i knew they include the awesome live arrangement!!
Ai wo Tomato
Brave
All for you

^ Kumi is just that flawless recently, how not be excited if she's not disappointing at all, I hardly can believe it, while Ayu does so many things in a way I don't like right now, Kumi just hits right into my taste, it's to beatiful to be true.

Dejavu had good singles so I was hyper about the rest of the songs, some weren't perfect but it's a great album. DMP concert + Be my baby and MnH PVs made up for any flaws, 4 hot waves was 100% my taste. 51st and 52nd singles were slighly off, not my cup of tea really but it's not like Kuu changed her style and goes the wrong way right now, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the whole album <3

I like the CD Only cover the most (the one with the close up of Kumi) but I'll probably end up getting the CD+2DVD edition as usual. Though if the "live best" footage is completely redundant with what I already have, maybe I'll just get the CD+DVD edition. :P

EPIC !! *o* !! JAPONESQUEEN <3

Oh, I didnt know, my fail haha still looks ugly for me though

And thanks for the promo pic, it'll be on my cellphone wallpaper in a few seconds :heart

I wonder what will be on the photobook, I hope there are pics from the previous albums shoots, like the postcards for 4 TIMES

Just to make sure, it's Feb 1st (wednesdy as usuall) right?

I'm bombing yesasia with F5 xD

THIS!

I was exactly thinking the same :D
And in my case, my feelings to Japonesque are different compared with Dejavu's ones. (in that moment I was like "OMG! New material! Let's hope it's good!" and then for me was a complete dissapointment. But this looks like it's going to be huge! We are talking about feelings after all ;)

This could be really interesting - Kuu vs. Ayaka... (she's also releasing her comeback album on February 1st)

^Agreed. Kuu always gets #1 on her albums, but Ayaka will be a huge comeback, so we'll see. I don't think it's so good to put them together.

Koda Kumi's official site has changed it's layout to the new album theme, it looks stunning!! :heart

@Gubsi: Those are pretty good predictions, to me! Kuu said on the fanclub that she's recorded a lot more aggressive dance and rock songs on this album than previous work, which I am really excited for! I LOVE Kuu's aggressive rock and dance, she does it WELL. My most faved songs from her are her aggressive dance and rock songs, like Ningyo Hime! :heart

Message from the kuu-chan ★
By the second album of 10 works, it was also a milestone in one piece a sense,
From the selection of songs, singing one song in increments, the way of expression is challenged by work than ever thought.
This work, such as dance and rock sound, recorded so many songs that are aggressive in comparison to previous work,
Do not think we finished the album in a very Kumi.
In consultation with the directors and staff so that each different taste even music videos,
One is challenged with a commitment to work one carefully.
Come and get to as many people, listen, I am happy watching the new album.

Lol Google Translate, we shall make more sense of you, one day. XD

That's my B1tcH!!! :heart :heart :heart

Hope there's at least one song like Get In On/Candy and one like No Way/Okay

Its the opposite for me, I want the Pvs so naturally the CD+DVD version but that's my least favorite cover. I wish it was the cd + 2dvd cover instead!

These covers are legendaryyy.

the covers are stunning! :heart i love them all. the tracklist looks nice, too. i like the titles of the new songs. :)

totally excited for this new album! :D

omg, koda is doing an awesome album !!
the title is pretty cool, every cover is so perfect, 17 new songs with PV's!!!
WOW !!!!!
My fav. cover is the CD+2DVD !!
:heart

I'm peeing everywhere in excitement!!! :shimmy
I need an HMV order link like burning :yes

hopefully Ayu releases somewhere around the same time so I can make a mass order XP hehe cuz shipping is so painfull T_T

UGHHH!! This looks like an amazing album!!!!! I'm SOOOO mad that I bought 4 TIMES because everything from that release is on this album. I wonder if I can give it as a gift or re-sell it or something?
