Lets hope she comes out with more songs that don't sound as if she is just talking.
But I am looking forward to her upcoming music releases.

haha, at some points it does sound like she's talking. I hope shes gonna be keeping her image though since it's nice having some ero!

And I agree with what someone said about having kinda Kumi dancing. Like one part was so SHAKE IT but that's okay!

I wanna help her too but yesasia doesn't count towards Oricon Well I just found out about her yesterday and her single was released last week so my guess is not charting in the top 200 thus sales are not reported...

I hate it when songs that deserve to chart high [i.e. BLACK or Ashita e no Sanka by alan] chart low or not at all...

I really can't into it... the sonG sounds like a cheap GIZA knock off of some American artist's song which I can't remember.

"Ring the Alarm", maybe? That's what comes to mind for me ... anyway, I'll just order the single, can't find it anywhere!!

I love the song! But ... I can't find anything else about the single. The only way to really find out if I like it is to buy, haha. Ah well, it's not ZOMG XPENSEEVE or anything =P

I dled the PV off jpopsuki the other day eventho I had a bad feeling about it since I noticed her label was Giza, everything by Giza artists just sounds so cheap & dated usually ... and sadly this release wasn't an exception

PV & the song are both poorly executed mish-mash of things that were hot last year, like PCD's "buttons" and etc. Kuu's ero dancing is just in a totally different league than this, in terms of coreography & fluidity of the moves.

I suppose Kikyo herself is good-looking, but not very distinct or memorable. her vocals are just dreadful, she can't even "rap".

it's not the worst single I've heard, but I can't say i'm not surprised it's not appearing in the top200. I suppose she has potential, if they invested more in her song production and some vocal lessons.

YAY!!!! April 30 - I'll probably pre-order that single as well as ordering her recent one. I really wanna hear the B-side - STEP UP! Bet it sounds awesome.

And yeah the beginning totally sounds like "Ring The Alarm"

I wonder if "Again" is a ballad. At least midtempo since I think she has a good voice and with a more structured arrangement, they could blend together really well.

Tracklist of her 2nd single is out. If someone could romanize the second song I'd really appreciate it. Pretty much the same layout as her first single.

01. again
作詞・作曲:白石桔梗 編曲:中沢昭宏
02. 咲くサクラ
作詞・作曲:白石桔梗 編曲:中沢昭宏

You can listen to a preview of "STEP UP" @ this website. The single debuted @ 110 on Oricon.

2nd track is Saku Sakura "Blooming Sakura." - Yeah for Kikyo! I would've thought she didn't chart but nice to see something. Hopefully she'll be on the up and up with this new single since I didn't even know about the last one until after it was released.

EDIT: Wow, I am not a fan of STEP UP. It sounds so kiddish to me but maybe I need to hear it in full. Oh well, it's a b-side.

Yeah, it was released on Feb. 20, which is strange that STEP UP hasn't leaked in full...

^ Hm, hope someone uploads it soon I really want to hear the other side to her single. For some reason that link up there wont work so I can't hear the preview of her 'Step Up' track. I think I'll try and GOOGLE it to see if I can find it, and if I do then I'll post it on AHS
