those PAPARAZZI previews are really nice! :heart

My problem with Pink Spider is that the autotune combined with the lower register made the song pretty bland overall. But Douni mo tomaranai was great with all the autotune because it was sung in a higher pitch and was much more upbeat. I wish it was the promo single instead.
Shake hip was also great and despite my irrational hatred for kumi cute I really enjoyed Lovely. Everything else was alright but no standouts other than Uta wa Waga Inochi. Maybe if I was familiar with the original tracks and could compare I would be more impressed. But then again, normally it only takes me loving a few songs and the amazing cover to buy a Kumi album.

omg these pics

why is she so perfect T__T

cause she's genuine :heart

whoever are her stylists for PVs...they are damn amazing what they do with hair and make up on her.

I don't see similarities anywhere. :O Actually, when I look at that Kana photo, I just see Ayu from 2003-2004. :)

No no, I can see the similarities with their eyes and hair, I see where they are coming from. :)

I like the edge style cover, I hope there are some good images inside!

There are similarities between the two.

I totally see it haha. They're both lovely ladies~

...and all gyaru :laugh

please help me about 'COLOR the COVER' booklet (not limited photobook) scans..
thank you~

^ No one scanned yet :(

Today I was listening to Heat and suddenly noticed that I actually prefer the Beach Mix now, it's way more bounce and twerky lol "shake that ass" ♪

If DHits 5 is that much awesome as Beach Mix, I'll love it.

Then I must be blind because no matter how much I look at those photos, I just don't see it. :D

Yup, haha. And I love it.

Does DH5 come out on the 13th or the 20th? I see 20th on here and Generasia but on the slip of paper advert thing that came with my copy of CtC it says 13th? (praying its the 13th...I wanna hear it asap so I know whether to order at CDJapan and get my bonus points ehehe)

can somebody tell me the music producer from pink spider...

Yeah, so we know in advanced when she collabs with him/her again. So we can brace ourselves for horrible arrangements in the future :)

I thought the instruments used were superb. It was a very fresh arrangement. The melody wasn't all that great but the production on arrangement and the way they approached that was great.

You sound mad. Have a seat.

I actually love the arrangement.

There's a lot going on, but it makes the song sound really minimal...which is not something you see a lot from these club-electro sort of songs.

I also love how muted it seems, which is enhanced with the autotune. It relaxes me at the same time while making me want to dance.

^agree'd.

I've never been a big fan of autotune, but it fits so well with the arrangement of the song.
The whole album in general is perfect :heart
