Yay it's reaaaaal! I love those covers!! So different from everything she's done. :heart :heart

What a cute PV xD

A WITTER FAIRWEE IS MERITING A SNOMAN

i kinda like the song, especially the ending part...
the PV is so creative...i love it so much...

what a cute PV! the song is awesome, too. not as catchy as ring a ding dong, i think, but still awesome! :D

omg her Engrish is so cute.

Another hit IMO!!!
I love the song, and the PV is amazing!

It's so signature Kaela! Love it <3 <3 <3 Can't wait to hear orange!

i love the new song :)

The AU commercial is on all them time now xD

I seriously cannot stop listening to it....augh, so cute!!!!

Yeah it's a really addictive song :)

Ring a Ding Dong has gone Platinum for Chaku Uta Full and Gold for PC downloads : D

nice!!! this was a succesful year for her

I wonder why she won't be performing at Kouhaku this year...

^ Maybe she wants to take a rest after having just given birth to her child :)

kay, loving this song, bumping to know if the single's leaked anywhere

ok, i love "a winter fairy is melting a snowman!" its so damn catchy!

i have a question for those using last.fm though. i have her in itunes tagged as "kaela kimura" but it scrobbles to the wrong place in last.fm! is there a way to fix that outside of renaming her in itunes using her kanji name?

Tag it "Kimura Kaela"?

Am I the only one that infinitely prefers the shorter mix used in the music video to the longer version from the CD?

*cries*

I agree. It's one of those songs that CAN'T be too long. I love BANZAI for example but I wish it was a minute and a half shorter. Or two even.

I think I might just need to replace the CD-version with a HQ PV-rip. I literally can't listen to the whole thing.

Awww, love this song and the PV. So cute. :luv2

A winter fairy sold 15,499 copies in its first week according to Oricon.

I love orange <3

Japan loves A Winter Something:

Double Platinum Chaku Uta : 500,000
Platinum Chaku Uta Full : 250,000
Gold PC downloads : 100,000

She still reigns digitally.

^ WOW o_O
regular pyshical sales, but she is so strong in the digital sales!

I'm craving something newww...

it'll almost be 2 years since her last album. and we already have 2 singles, and songs from those KATE CMs. so i'd like a new album from kaela this year, if not a new single. she's probably busy with her baby, so...:P

Yeah I'm sure we'll have an album by the end of the year. :yes

I wonder if it'll be more poppish off the heels of Hocus Pocus and the last two singles. I love those too, but I was hoping more You bet!! sort of songs instead of back to cute pop before Ring a ding dong came out.

new song! "Sea", used in a new kanebo KATE commercial:


the song sounds so cool!

hmm...sounds catchy...but she looks kinda dumb on the CM...

I hope we get a new single announcement soon, it feels like it's been so long since her last release.

And "Sea" sounds good from the preview.

Ehh Sea sounds okay.

deep beep is better, but Sea is ok

Can't really tell from the 12 seconds for me...

finally, a new single!!! :banana2 it's called "喜怒哀楽 plus 愛". it'll be released on august 3rd. :D

here's the CM/PV preview:


the full PV will air tomorrow on SSTV, so i can't wait to see it! i LOVE how the song sounds & the PV looks amazing! kaela looks so pretty! :) but does anyone have the covers & tracklist?

What an insane music video!

New music from Kaela, so excited! Can't wait to see the full PV.

it sounds amazing, can't wait for the full pv

i love the song and the pv concept, can't wait for the full thing

the full pv is here http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjgyNzEwOTIw.html
It's really crazy, i love it

album listed now, "8EIGHT8" out 10.12

awesome!! cool title, too. :P

some info on the new album:
apparently the album will only have 8 songs in total. but i'm not sure. :shrug

^ Hopefully, it's more than 8 songs in total. I don't want a mini-album, I much prefer a full-length album.

And I wonder if "Sea" will make it on the album or not. It was the song used in the Kate CM, the song was quite good from the short preview.

"チョコレート" PV preview:

first week sales of "8EIGHT8":

That's what we're talking about! #1! (Not so crowded at this moment, that's for sure...)

quiet low...i thought she could do better than this after a success of 5 years

^I thought the same...

Loving this album. It's almost a +1 II. I really liked Hocus Pocus but I like that she's reverting back to less pop more rock.

Kaela is releasing a new BEST album to celebrate her 10th Anniversary, titled "10years". Release date is June 25th.

A special website has been setup for the album: http://columbia.jp/kaela10years/

Can someone confirm how many songs are on the tracklisting? I got confused, as I read through the site, and there were different lists of songs.

omfg didn't she just release 5years yesterday!? Has it already been another 5 years!? eofaweifnei

EDIT: I don't understand the tracklist lol

it's still at the stage of voting the tracklist, you can only vote for 3 songs though..
