I wish she'd do more songs like "Only One" and "Every Boy, Every Girl", those are the bomb.

Me too lol. Glad to see someone else thinking the same things.

Covers are out:

That font though... :no:no

Very bright and colorful!

I really like the covers, and the font as well oddly enough

Omg love those covers <3 The font is really cool and modern IMO

I love the covers and the font. Looks really cool! Most interesting thing she's done in a while. I've also been meh towards her current music direction, she's always been safe, but she was taking to extremes with her last releases.

Bad quality I Love You :

I Love you sound better than what I thought with the preview. The chorus is bit meh but I like the verses.

It's ok...

How I miss those days between before 2013 when her material was consistent and solid. Ever since her first BEST albums, she's been hit or miss.

me too.

Two other pics of the pv :

I don't know why but I feel that P·O·P won't be a pop song.

I actually don't dislike the song as much as I thought I would. Its one of her better cute ballads in a while.

It seems we'll see the whole pv in pics before to watch it XD

Either that's not a Japanese car, or she's a terrible driver.

The PV looks like it'll be really cute. I agree that I love the verses but the chorus is so monotonous :/ hope it'll be a success

Twitter
 

It's not a japanese car (you can see the wheel in the left corner of some pics) and she's not the driver. It seems the concept is a love road trip and the driver is us.

The transitions are really bad.

I know, I was making a lame joke :laugh

^sorry my brain was too tired XD Sometimes I don't get the mood behind the words.

Its okay. It was totally an "uncle joke", aka not funny :laugh

I'm in love with the picture of the 2018 tour website:

http://www.nishinoke.jp/loveittour2018/

Is there any way to remove the words so I can use the image as a wallpaper? Please and thank you. :D

^I already posted it months ago ;) :


I'm not fond of the new single. After her two last singles it's bit disappointed. All songs are gentle but none of them really moved me. :/

^Ahh, thank you so much! I remembered seeing it before but must have gotten it was here. :D

I like the single track but the b-sides are pretty average this time.

^Agree with you. I love you seems to be the best song of the single.

GOODS are out :

Cat food? O.o

I think its a pouch. I want all the cat stuff coz I'm a crazy cat lady. I wish YA would get these goods! Is there any way to order them? Or is tenso the only possibility?

^Oh my... True. I would never have thought that Kana would sell such kind of pouch. I wouldn't be surprised if Shokotan did it. Is Kana a cat person too?

I love you at NHK utacon

+1 crazy cat lady. I want these goods. So cute!!

^

She did write a song from the perspective of a cat, that's crazy cat lady enough :D

Planning on attending the Kobe tour date in September, and maybe the Ehime one in July! I wonder what will be different between the hall tour and the arena tour, if anything?

Which song is that?

The song is called MEOW and it's on her latest album Love it

^I can tolerate meow but its not amazing. BoA's Neko Love is a better cat song. :D

You can see better pics of some of the goods on the rocket express website:

https://www.rocket-exp.com/s/R/artis...ima=3134&rw=20

She posted a pic of all the goods on twitter : https://twitter.com/kanayanofficial?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

I like MEOW but I didn't know that. Is there a translation of that song? I would like to read it.

New single Bedtime story

source: http://www.nishinokana.com/info/archive/?496047



The sound is new for Kana but generic in the Jpop world. I like the preview.

The beginning sounds like her past 7 singles but the 2nd part after the break sounds amazing. Reminds of the aitakute aitakute p, Sakura I love you time, I’m excited!,!

I can't wait to hear the whole thing!

I'm very happy, I managed to sign up to rocket express and they restocked all of Kana's tour goods, so I grabbed the cat pouch and a clear file set.

The informations about Bedtime Story single are out :

source: http://www.nishinokana.com/info/archive/?496783

Not a fan of her look. The covers are different for Kana but I find them forgettable

I understand that they want to keep the logic of the song used as a theme is the a-side but we should hear the Bath-time Song before to listen to the Bedtime Story and then say Oyasumi actually ? They should have thought more about the concept here than the habit.

^Haha I agree, bathtime ---> bedtime ---> oyasumi

lol. When I read Bedtime Story I thought something else, lol. I was expecting a hot cover a la Kuu !

^:laugh Now you said that I combine Bedtime Story with KO-SO-KO-SO XD

^Hahahaha, Kana's face is so cute, she doesn't fit sexy concept at all.

It's pretty cliche but I love that cat dress! XD

They made new goods for the arena :

The new cat pouch is common but so cute. And I really like Kanayan in black lady :luv2 I kinda like the mirror too even if it's pink. The keychains are a bit creepy.

I got my kitty pouch from the first lot of goods, it's a lot bigger than I expected. Do we have a schedule of her upcoming performances?

^oh really? Do you mind to share a pic of it?
The schedule is available here :https://www.nishinoke.jp/loveittour2018/schedule/

Here's the pouch:



I'm pretty impressed with it, looks like very good quality.

Thanks for the schedule, I was hoping to see if she had anything booked at the start of Jan but I highly doubt I'd be that lucky. XD

^Thanks. It looks so cute! The pic on her concert website didn't do it justice.

No they didn't, I assumed it would be coin purse sized and I'd just use as a decoration but this is a useful size. I have very few Kana goods so I want things I can use. :D

Ah ah I never bought artists' goods (except Ayu's) but this time Kana make me want to get some. ^_^

Saw her in Kobe last night, my 3rd time seeing her. Had an awesome time!

She sang songs from across her career, which I expected with "10th Anniversary" being in the tour title. I was really surprised she didn't perform some of the more prominent ones, like Aitakute Aitakute and Motto. I don't know the setlist of the Many Thanks Dome Tour last year, but I guess she performed those there? She squeezed a lot of songs into medleys, and whilst I'm not usually the biggest fan of medleys, I was really happy with Kana's. So many awesome surprises! I did not expect to be hearing songs like 'doll', 'candy', and 'Lights, Camera, Action' :D

I don't understand the choice to open with 'Girls', it was just her on stage with some skyscraper videos on all the screens. Expected something a bit more grand, haha. Same with the closing, 'I Love You' seems random.

Twice now where she's asked if there's anyone in the audience from outside of Japan, and I'm the only one in the arena stood there waving my ice cream glowstick or shouting and not being seen/heard, ahaha. One day, Kana, one day :P

As she was singing songs throughout her career, it really dawned on me that I've been a fan for about 8 years since her 'to LOVE' days, and it's been so awesome watching her consistent success for so long :D

^That's amazing! I'm so happy for you! I would love to see her live but it hasn't happened yet, fingers crossed I can one day. Doll and candy are pretty obscure song choices.

Sorry for the double post but I like the new single! I want the lyrics to Bathtime Song because I swear I hear her singing in French.

what is the Setlist of love it tour ?:O

Yep she is singing Merci (thank you) with her nice little accent. I needed to listen to the word twice before to realise it was in French. XD

The single isn't memorable to me. Bedtime story is like Pa. The kind of song that doesn't bother me and who is "good" after some time, plays and tv lives. Bathtime Song surprised me. There is this typical accordion sound that Japanese singers don't stop to use when they want to create a song about Paris and France mixed with melodies that reminds me the 80s. I think I need some time to have a proper view one it. Because it's not bad just generic.
Oyasumi is my favourite song of the single. Classic guitar songs that reminds me a bit Wish upon a star.

Kana will release two new greatest hits CDs. They must sell very well, this is her third best hits release in 10 years.

★ best album " LOVE COLLECTION 2 ~ Pink ~ "" LOVE COLLECTION 2 ~ MINT ~" 11/21

From Kana's facebook:

Sorry for the late reply. I hope you get to see her some day! I've really enjoyed every time I've seen her!

I was thinking just a couple of weeks ago that she'd be releasing another greatest hits soon. She's only released 3 albums since her last best of collections, so this is so strange. Especially when HAPPY HAPPY was one of the songs specially recorded for her first greatest hits albums. And No.1 and UNZARI were specially recorded for her b-side collections. Odd collection!

Ah well, HAPPY HAPPY and Together are two of my favourite Kana songs, and at least we'll get 4 new ones too. We'll get another greatest hits 3 years from now with all the new songs recorded across the 6 greatest hits albums ;P

I really really like Bedtime Story so it is a bit disappointing that it is being used in a compilation only. But I'm excited about Together 10th Anniversary.

^"I love you" is there as well. When she released the first pink/mint collection she had 3 singles released prior that were only on the collections and not on any albums. "ALWAYS", "BELIEVE" and "Namidairo" only have PVs on their collection as well. So I understand why they've done some similar the second time around. Hopefully there's new PVs as well.

I just wonder if "One More Time" is really popular among Japanese fans. It's on the "手をつなぐ理由" single, then the 7th album, now on the new collection.

Its not measured by the amount of albums, but amount of years passed...that would be five again...

as for the b-side collection songs. I guess they are only on there for the complete PV collection you can get with buying all her best ofs.

I feel like she released her last best album yesterday but oh well that's not a big deal. I'm a bit disappointed that they're using the same title AND colours. I understand that they want to keep the LOVE word but they could have given them at least different colours. The covers aren't creative too. It reeks of "give us money for a lazy release".

^I actually will dig that they stick to something. i hate when things get all over the place. I can see them still using red/green for b-sides and we may get other colors for fan favorites or album tracks or covers or something in the future. I think we can expect LC3 pink/mint in 5 years from now

I don't know what other colours would work with Kana's whole gyaru look though... I don't see her using blue, yellow, orange... maybe purple... I guess pink and mint go the best together? :D

I think she might nail every colours without problem as there are so many tones in the world. The only colour concept that would look weird is Black/White.

New outfits for the concert:

Don't know why but the red dress gives me an Ayu-vibe a lot.

^It looks similiar to the red dress Ayu wore in "Hello new me" live.

^It might be that. And maybe the Mirrorcle World dress too. The hairstyle is similar too.

We know the titles of the new songs :

Pink:
Into You
Dear Santa


Mint:
Mama
29

I wonder how the new christmas song'll sound as Merry Christmas and Christmas Love were quite different.

^I always forget about her xmas songs, I don't listen to them much unless its December. :laugh

^I also listen to them when Christmas is here or at least when I'm in Christmas mood :)

Two previews are out :

Into You

29


The lyrics of 29 is bye bye my youth? Damn it's too a Japanese mind to think that you're old at 30 >.<

Bit behind on Kana (still working my way through her discography and got her latest album to buy) but I do really enjoy Love Collection ~Pink~ and Secret Collection ~Green~ so these new albums might be worth picking up.

What Xmas songs does she have? Gonna make my Winter playlist soon so these might be worth an add!

^She has two xmas songs : Merry Christmas (on Dear bride single) and Christmas Love (on Kimitte single). Dear Santa'll be the third christmas song

Preview of Mama

It's a love song for her mother ♥

Do we know whats on the DVDs yet? I'm hoping for PVs and not another mini concert footage like RED/GREEN...

^yeah, all PVs since the last mint/pink

At first, I thought "it hasn't even been that long since she released her last compilation albums," but I guess it's been five years already. Time flies. I'll probably give them a listen since I haven't followed Kana in a while and I can't recognize most of the songs in the tracklist.

Also, cute covers. :yes

any downloads for the new songs? If the OS presses are cheaper I'll buy those, or else I'll wait til I go to Book Off and see if they have slightly cheaper jpn press versions. :D

^I wanted to wait for book off in april too but i forgot to cancel my order -.-

I just received my copies of Love Collection 2 ~ pink & mint~.

I really enjoy having her Songs of the last 5 years on her new best Albums <3
There are so many awesome songs.

It's a pity that the Medleys from her current tour are only available as Bonus tracks for digital purchases. Can anyone provide links for these two Medleys if you know what I'm talking about? :-D

Here is : https://www102.zippyshare.com/v/YYL3ZqJ8/file.html

I haven't seen any link for the medley yet.

^Thank you! 90% of my searches would link me to the 2013 releases. :dead2

I can't find the DVD tracklist either, does anyone have it?

^how about you check her website?

Lost track on the Oricon charts, forgot that it came out this week (!) and this week is Thanksgiving week, but Kanayan's doing pretty well, going 1-2 daily for the first two days...could end up going 1-2 at the end of the week.

^ Good stuff! Any idea on sales? I forgot to check the daily figures this week!

Kana will perform Darling and Have a nice day on the second night of FNS Kayousei, and the website mentions a "10th anniversary memorial: wake up theme track medley"

Nobody shared his view on the new songs?
Mama and Dear Santa are good. Into You is so-so. It sounds as the upbeat songs on LOVE it. Something is lacking to make it an enjoyable song. I'm not fond of 29.
Dear Santa surprised me. When the preview leaked I had thought that it'd be alike Christmas Love but finally it is very different and if she doesn't say words that are related to Christmas, you barely think that it's a Christmas song.

LOVE it Tour will be released on 26th December
