That said, SAKURA, I Love You? wasn't a classic Kana song IMO. Lyrics wise, musically wise and fashion wise.
True, she does take risks with her b-sides. And I agree about the formula. I guess she's just found the sound that makes the formula work. I like it and all, but when all you know of the single is the a-side and it sounds similar to past works, as some one who likes variety, its slightly underwhelming. I shouldn't judge, though.

That said, I loved Sakura, I Love You? I'm kinda over the boyfriend songs, but everything else about it was wonderful.
