I've been saying it for a while now, this woman is plain vanilla, through and through. She's not even French vanilla or good quality ice cream. She's fucking 1 gallon for $1.99 vanilla.

I'm at a point where I figure she's found the sound she's gonna stick with. I think the little experimentation we got before was her finding her sound. Oh well, I still have her older stuff and the hope that maybe she will prove me wrong to keep me going. I will always be a fan. Unless she makes racist or homophobic comments. Then the bitch is dead to me.

new short PV:

She does it because Darling slayed the charts (still #26 on recochoku despite being released 8 months ago + longest consecutive top 10 run on recochoku) and she found another type of sound works for her and not a lot of people do this kind of music so she's trying it out. I'm sure her next single will be more ballad-y again (I'd live for another banger like We don't stop though) + people are complaining that she does the same ballad stuff all the time and she should change up her style and now she is doing just that

always is her worst single

I really like the covers and the song. I'd like to see more songs in that vein as I really like Darling

I really don't think that her current style is really that different from her safe ballads. Something different would be if she covered Kuu's Juicy.

ahhh oh my god, I can only imagine. Speaking of which... I've always found it weird that she has Namie, Kumi and Miliyah in her top 6 'similar artists' section on last.fm. Definitely don't see/hear the similarities. :tipsy Please anticipate the 6th original album 『 JUICY LOVE 』!

I think Love Place is my favorite album from her, especially vocally.

Vocally, she's really only gotten better. I think on With Love she just plays with the kind of vocals she does rather than pushing power notes like on Love Place.

The PV looks so cute and interesting! :luv2

yes it isn't THAT different really but it's something new

The song feels like it could taste like vanilla. It's cute and light, like it could spirit away someone and you won't feel threatened or scared. Sound's like spring too. Not a song I would actually volitionally play unless I listened to it a lot. Hmm Kanako hasn't completely turned me off, it's a miracle or something.

We're nearly at 500 posts, and I always like to ask if anyone else wants to make the new thread? I've made the last... 4? 5? Anyone else want to volunteer?

^No thank you.
:)

I kinda liked the song, but the PV is just weird. Especially the dancing, so awkward.
Anyway, I don't see myself loving this song, I didn't really like Darling, so... :/

...me! :laugh :D I've already made the new thread...hope you don't mind! :)
