She looks gorgeous in the PV, but it's kind of boring to watch. Still, the song is very good. It didn't really grip me much but then the chorus came along and I had one of those "Whoa, this is really good!" moments. I think this is gonna be an amazing single, especially with the best set of b-side titles EVER.

Mirai Noah 10th July 2012 06:49 PM

Love the song! PV is simple, but nice.

jiarongisme 10th July 2012 07:17 PM

Lyrics kinda remind me of dear my friend.

ayu_ready? 10th July 2012 10:48 PM

I absolutely love JASMINE, her music & lyrics are pure love! :luv2
I think I love sad to say lyrics pretty much, but Best Partner is just amazing

they must do everything to sell it good, she deserves it no less than Kana Nishino, honestly!

matt9210 10th July 2012 11:20 PM

I love the song! <3 And she looks amazing!

Only 2 copies left on cdjapan. Hopefully, that's a good thing :)

Zemus posted a better PV rip here


edit: btw, I changed the first two lines of the 2nd paragraph of my Best Partner translation.

NintendoHTF1242 14th July 2012 05:24 PM

The songs alright. Easy listening stuff, but not very memorable.

ayu_ready? 14th July 2012 06:39 PM

we need MOAR promo
not just radio & live festivals she does

tenshi no hane 24th July 2012 08:22 AM

The full single (Best Partner) is out on bestfiction.

KarenPang 24th July 2012 11:46 AM

both B-sides are awesome & also hands down , best song titles given for B-side tracks too xD

Touch me on the Beach is fab ! Welcome back JASMINE , it has been way too long for your presence to be felt again ;_;

AyusakiFan 24th July 2012 05:49 PM

I'm absolutely in love with this single! This whole single is pure perfection just as expected! "Touch me on the Beach" is the perfect catchy summer jam and "*******S" is so flawless and sexy that I don't know what to do with myself. It's my favorite song on this single. IMO, this is one of the better single releases that has come out this year as each song is high quality and certainly a-side worthy. If these songs don't end up on the album, I will definetely be purchasing this single. I can't wait until the romanizations and translations are out and I hope that we get an album from her this year (hopefully her next release will be an album)!

I totally agree with you!
This single is awesome!

freedreamer 25th July 2012 03:54 AM

Single's really good. The songs are so developed and complete :)
Though I may not find myself listening to them long term but I cant deny that they are good

dreamland2.0 25th July 2012 04:09 AM

Wow amazing single!!! All three tracks are awesome!

tenshi no hane 25th July 2012 09:47 AM

Great single :love

KarenPang 26th July 2012 02:50 AM

JASMINE has been MIA for so long & for her to return back with this superb single , it's saying a lot

I definitely want her to release her 2nd album next after Best Partner , since it has been almost 2 years that she put out GOLD but we'll see

Queen Bee 26th July 2012 05:39 AM

Did anyone see/read her message about Best Partner that was posted on her official Facebook page?

Quote:

「7.25 - BEST PARTNER」

Finally!! Today is the day we've all been waiting for!!
It is the day of the release of my new single, "BEST PARTNER"!
We just want you to listen to this song! My heart and soul have been put into this one!

... You know when your precious ones, like your friends, family, bf/gf, soulmates..., have sad faces on them and are losing their confidence? Whenever I see them in that state, I alway feel like 'No, this can't be happening, who caused all this pain on them? Whoever it is, I want to kick their a**!' lol. I just want to always see the smiles of my precious ones!

Well...Yes! Thank you, thank you! For all your congrats on my new release!! hehe.
And thank you to all of you!! It is all because of you! Because of all your support on my music!
I even received nice messages from abroad on Twitter, too! I am so grateful!!


I would love you to listen to not only the title track, BEST PARTNER but also the coupling tracks of the '*******S' and 'TOUCH ME ON THE BEACH'.
They are perfect for this summer season and I love them!!


I really hope that this single album becomes your 'BEST PARTNER'!

"When you need some help. Whenever it is.
When you need some help. Call me up.
Whenever I'm with you, even when you get hurt."
"Who made you cry? If in need, I will go and kick their a** for you"
- Best Partner

LOVE
JASMINE

I love her even more now!

PoetGirl 26th July 2012 06:50 AM

aw, she has such an awsome personality

Corvina 26th July 2012 11:51 PM

I totally love *******S, such an flawless song! :heart
Touch me on the beach isn't exactly my taste, but it fits to the other two songs.
A great single!

CoriKaru 27th July 2012 02:56 AM

And an angel from the heavens descended down upon this wretched land devoid of all innovation, inspiration, creativity, energy, excitement, emotion, purpose, relevancy and Utada Hikaru and stiletto stomped some life right into the back of the crux of its neck. The same exact spot where South Korea had come along not too long ago and idol group stomped the life right on out of it.

How long will this new lease on life last? Only JASMINE will tell.

This Single Is So EVERYTHAAANG!

ayu_ready? 27th July 2012 09:13 PM

I think that the second track off single should have been a title track, maybe a name changed a bit. I love it most of all, it's freaking amazing and epic, OH MY GOD :D

inthezone 1st August 2012 08:03 PM

Best Partner debuted at #50 :(
Japan and their **** taste nowadays

KarenPang 2nd August 2012 01:53 AM

Considering the single was barely promoted , I'm not really surprised :x

At least it's a great comeback for her , yes ? no ?

I'm not sure. Sayuri Sugawara is also kind of in the same league as JASMINE or so; her single "Asu ni Naru Mae ni" (12/2011) got #99, then "Habataku Kimi e" (3/2012) got #58; maybe neither Sayu nor JASMINE are in the "mainstream" category we see at the top of the charts, unlike Ayu, Johnny's, AKB48, miwa, B'z, Mr.Children, etc...

Utena 2nd August 2012 01:15 PM

JASMINE needs more promo, like Sad To Say had and she'll sell waaaay more for sure! :)

really bad. yet no promotion, no surprise :(

I hope it won't encourage her to leave

Pieces_of_SEVEN 3rd September 2012 04:14 AM

Finally listened to BEST PARTNER today and I actually really like it! Hope she keeps on this track!

ahtka-chan 3rd September 2012 06:11 PM

It's just me or you guys also think that TMOTB or ******S would be better A-sides?

Pieces_of_SEVEN 3rd September 2012 07:05 PM

^Not me, I literally have Best Partner on repeat right now and can't stop listening to it. I hope the single did well.

Chiharo 3rd September 2012 07:55 PM

I think Best Partner is the only really amazing song on the single. I listened to the rest and still do but they just lack something. Never listened to them on repeat. Kind of bore me, I don't know.

Corvina 3rd September 2012 08:15 PM

*****S still is the best song of the three for me,adore it, so I wouldn't mind it being an A-side.
But Best Partner comes right after. Double A-side would have been great. :laugh

paper_doll 3rd September 2012 08:18 PM

*******S is hands down the best song on the single. Best Partner was alright, but plain sounding. TMOTB was all sorts of awful lol.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 29th September 2012 02:09 AM

^Nah, Best Partner is wayyyyyyy better! It's so catchy for me! Hopefully she releases something new soon!

Pieces_of_SEVEN 27th November 2012 04:14 AM

Wonder what she is up to? Or if she'll release anything new soon?

setsuka 28th November 2012 01:22 AM

she probably won't, at this point my theory is Sony screwed her over or did something bad after GOLD came out, she had so much momentum then it all evaporated over night......too fishy

so maybe she is releasing singles painfully slowly in order for her contract to run-up and leave them by the time she drops her second album in 2014

that is just me :mischief

kakumei 28th March 2013 02:08 AM

FINALLY, THE DAY HAS COME! :)

new single, "High Flying" 2013.05.29 and for the first time, we are getting 2 editions, hope we get some live footage on that DVD. must have a nice tie-up to get that edition as well. CAN NOT WAIT!

chocopockymaster 28th March 2013 04:11 AM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

my body is so ready, I can't believe it's been almost a year since Best Partner. D: (That song is still flawless though, I listen to it all the time~)

jiarongisme 28th March 2013 05:55 AM

Oh man. FINALLY. Well we have 6 new songs now... Hopefully a new album is due soon.

By soon I mean in years to come.

chocopockymaster 2nd April 2013 06:53 PM

On her blog she uploaded some pictures from a recent music festival that she went to and she was wearing a shirt that said NANTUCKET on it, and I was totally shocked. :rofl It's a tiiiiiny little island that I have really strong ties to (family, etc) so I was surprised to see a popstar in Tokyo wearing a shirt that advertised it. :P

kakumei 13th April 2013 04:35 PM

darn, guess that +DVD info was wrong, it's two editions both 1,020 yen just one is limited. definitely reinforces the anime theory, with that limited one being the anime edition then. boo, was really looking forward to the DVD.

http://www.cdbanq.com/Jasmine--High-....bYZ3yVEP.dpbs

with that price we're only getting one b-side as well. hope that album is coming right after then. she is still recording like crazy.

setsuka 14th April 2013 12:06 PM

excited hopefully the album or next release is during the summer or even sooner and not like her usual 10 or whatever month break

I'm loving the song~! Can't wait for the full single! Yay! It seems just as good as BEST PARTNER for me~!

CoriKaru 16th May 2013 04:37 PM

"High Flying"

1. Chorus immediately sounds nostalgic. I guess because it sounds just like "Best Partner".

2. When she comes in on the bridge around the 3:50 mark, the mixing is awful. Her voice sounds like it is on top of the song. I thought the song was over and a radio disc jockey had started talking over the song like they do.

3. She sounds like Suzuki Ami at some parts.

4. Not a bad song but I won't be listening to it again. I heard this last Single.

ayu_ready? 17th May 2013 07:56 PM
