what Kobukuro said about their decision to cover Mikazuki
Quote:
Kobukuro are by now heading into their 10th year since their major dabut and are going to release their very first cover album "ALL COVERS BEST" on August 25th. For the two of them, this release, which is limited to 400,000 copies allover contains songs full of strong memories, which are "even now playing deep in their hearts."
Among the songs on the album, Ozaki Yutaka's song "I LOVE YOU", which they had been presenting during their tour last year and even "Mou Hitotsu no Doyoubi" and "ANSWER" which had been sung during street lives. Also the song "Mikazuki" by their friend Ayaka is included making it an outstanding cover for a male band. "I am lost for words, when it comes to that strength in singing, which also greatly includes the lyrical world (of the song). We have been singing together and listened to each other closely numerous times, while we tried to create our own approach."
Kobukuro added concerning their thoughts on the cover songs: "There are lots of "songs" we've been listing since our childhood and have grown up with. With the memories and views of that time, there are still ringing in our hearts, and I have taken those long with myself of that time."

so I guess even they themselves have doubts on whether this project's able to pull though or not
