I added some stuff and corrected one or two things (in bold):

Quote:

)

Introduction: It has a theme how other countries see Japan. The song will be the introduction for the album, and it has the image of a "oiran" (courtesan) walking, while saying "please follow me"

So nice: The oiran who walk across and waiting for a guy who can light the flames　(probably it has a sexual implicit since it's Kuu-chan

). The major color in the MV is red and gold (the dress) and it's so Koda Kumi-ish. Since she once lived in Kyoto, she wants to try the oiran style.

BBB: Close to FREAKY, Rock and Dance tune. The theme is a free wild woman who drinking alcohol everyday, dating with different guy everyday. The story of the MV is a woman who drinking alcohol in the club and dancing to release the stress.

Slow: There are a lot of guys who think that "you can't give happines to a woman if you don't have money". on the other part, woman thinks "there is other thing that is more imporant than money. I only waiting for you, your kindness and smile; because it's your charm". Kuu and Omarion will be move in real time-motion, meanwhile the other cast will be in slow-motion.

Brave: Actually this song was finished 3 years ago. The story is about a guy who got seperated with the girl; even tho I were re-born, i wanted you to love me again; and i wish that you would think the same way too. The MV, in the room there is a uncoordinated clock, hanging on a tree. After the break-up, the time doesn't move; the girl wants that time to come back.

Everyday: no matter whether you're sad or happy, as long as you're together, you'll be happy. MV will use a lot of CG. Rainy girl and Sunny girl. Typical cutesy song

ESCALATE: When the feeling of love is increasing, the mood is escalating. The strong woman type of song. The MV shows that love is like a chess game. There won't be too much dancing scene, but the choreo is cool; and she can't wait to perform it live. In further detail, she wear a different contact lense color on her right-left eye.

No Man's land: the demo and the re-arrange were very different. Man and woman sang it together, but then it was changed to rock sound, and the rap part is written by Mr. blistah. The title has "deserted and desolate land" meaning, "i want to go to a world where no guys exists. I want to be free from a guy who betrays me. But the things keep repeating again and again. The shot used monochrome for the first time.

Lay Down: 'Can you handle me? If you can, I'll behave like a doll for you.' Another type of strong woman song. This MV uses backlight. She had to re-do her make-up a couple of times because it didn't look pretty.

Love technique: Cute song and Kuu will be a love teacher blablabla. "By combining your good parts + my bad parts and my good parts + your bad parts, we can create something good." It's about accepting each others faults and loving each other. In the PV, a love-teacher lectures a couple about how to make up after a fight.

All for you: This song is dedicated to her fans. She thought about whether she could retire after marrying but during her Hall Tour this year, she realized that she should continue singing (because she connected so closely with her fans during the tour). She wants to continue singing until her voice withers. The PV contains phrases of fan messages that left an impression on her in a credit roll(?). Fans can check whether their words are included.
