^ I was a bit shocked by the depth of the lyrics in "again", because it immediately struck me as Kuu sharing a lot of fans' wish to go back and do those glory years all over again. Haven't heard such a well-written ballad since possibly Ayu's "Curtain call"...? I think "again" really deserves to be the big takeaway from re(CORD).
Also surprised she originally intended to do a cover album. I figured Eternal and Color The Cover were just side projects, but she clearly likes reinventing old songs if she wants to keep making cover albums.
I'm also glad she threw one or two cute songs on this album. These used to be a staple on her albums, and she always did a fun and entertaining PV for them for the DVD/BD.
I'd love to know if there's a Kumi Koda no Uta album in the works. It'd be awesome to see people like Ayu and Hikki contribute a cover of a Kuu song. (Personally, I want to hear Hikki do "Ai no Uta" and Ayu do "you")
Anyway, looking forward to tomorrow! Was just listening to WOML this morning and remembered how much I loved the title track. Here's hoping we have great things to say about these songs after release!
