[Glamorous_Sky]

Most people probably know Kou from Battle Royale, but she became well known with the single "Tsuki no Shizuku" which was for the movie Yomigaeri.

AWESOME! Another KOH+ song!! <3 "KISS Shite" was so good.

Question: From her 2 best-ofs, are there any new songs in it?

i think on The Back Best "Chiisana Heya" was a new song, as in it wasn't on any of her albums/singles. It was a bonus track I think

^ Oh, nice! Do you happen to have that track?

Thanks for sharing!! ^^

I hope she's gonna play in the Galileo SP. It would feel so empty without her character.

[Keiichi_JPU]

I never listened to her music

I did recently found out she's the main character in the Chakushin Ari (one missed call) movie! I love that movie so much! It's my favorite Japanese horror movie and I've seen it like 10 times already, it's awesome.

It really makes me wanna listen to her music.

yayy!! a shibasaki thread!!

I like her songs and she does have an unique vocal!
And not forgetting, she's a good actress too!

[Fair Wind]

I'm not fond of her KOH+ stuff, but her recent single was really good. And songs like Kage, Hito Koi Meguri and her first are some of my favourites.

i'm DLing the saiai PV right now, i hope it's not boring like the preview was on the KOH+ site x__X the song's finally grew on me, though.

[Yoake]

I love Kou Shibasaki. I love her in Galileo^^

[Glamorous_Sky]

Saiai is just an beautiful song, I can't stop listening to it. Kou always puts alot of emotion into her singing. I hope it does as good as KISS shite~

[Yoake]

I love Saiai too. IT's really beautiful. The pv is simple but really pretty

[elepop]

"Saiai" is beautiful. Totally different from "Kiss Shite"!

Kou Shibasaki's new concer Live Tour 2008 will be released on Bluray!!!!!! http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=POXD-21001

I LOVE Shibasaki Kou's first album, but I've only liked two or three songs she's put out since then.

[Evolution7/4]

Saiai is number 1 on iTunes Japan!!!
And Kiss SHite has come back up to number 16!

I don't like KOH+ stuff but I like her other stuff especially 影(kage) and 眠レナイ夜ハ眠ラナイ夢ヲ (nemurenai yoru wa nemuranai yume wo). She has a very interesting style of music.

In addition to that, she broke the record of Ayumi Hamasaki for maintaining both albums in top 3.

That's cool, but she didn't really "break" that record, right? I mean Ayu had #1 and #2, and Kou only had #1 and #3... So that's not really "breaking" it?
