Besides the ballads, these are my least favourite previews. What's Up sounds like an outdated pop rock song and Cupcake sounds too simple and repetitive.

I'm not really all that jazzed about any of the previews. All the "dance" tracks sound really gimmicky. Like "oh, this one has a sax" or "oh, this one has a cowbell." And can she take it easy on the claps; sounds like someone just dragged a sample from the bin into the mix and looped it - didn't even bother to add any effects to it.

Idk to me it just sounds like the most basic of basic that anyone can get.

I actually agree with this wholeheartedly. Everything sounds cheap, outdated, and basic.

That has been a way to describe Kumi's music for a long time, actually.

I feel like that Bangerang song has already been release by her like four or five times.

I agree completely but didn't say anything cause they are just snippets but I'm not thrilled or excited with any of these previews

This was my problem with cup cake. I mean how many times can you ask someone to be your cupcake and the clapping that's original. All these previews sound like cup cakes part 2 to me.

I guess that's what they're calling... "avant-garde."

When the album comes out, people will probably hate it and say its her worst album yet. After a year, they will praise it and say its her best album ever. Haha

Idk I didnt listen to any of the previews because they are just instrumentals. I think when the album is out, you need to put it on the stereo at full volume and then you can judge if it's good or not

For now, I'm loving this ballad that was used for a recent CM. I dont remember its name but its so beautiful

I was on vacation and was just reading all the news, didn't get a chance to post here. Anyways, to sum it all up I love everything. Covers, double album concept, all the previews, etc. It's so effin awesome that she's bringing two different albums at the same time. I was missing her traditional J-Pop Ballads sooo much! I love Kimi Omoi so I don't mind it being on the album but it's such a shame that we won't get SO FEVER PV in HD since it's not included... Booo but finally studio version of Cupcake!!

@kaled apologies for taking forever to upload this 4 ya. lemmi know if u need MP3 and I'll re-upload. I'll try to scan the cover sometime later since I couldn't find one online. Butterfly ~Orgel Sound Version~

LOVE Suki Deshita, come through Someday ~to the future~.
Wicked Girls sounds great as well.

@ALfromHELLSING Thank you for the album, it's fine as it is. Really good music box style. ♥

@Tomoyo Thanks for sharing! Nice banner.

Probably won't like 好きでして in full. But that's the first preview I don't like.
Kuu says it's not a coincidence that the title is similar to Suki de and that we will maybe understand with the full thing.
Also I wonder what they will do with the results of this campaign?

Kuu also wrote in the Line post, that she's in a meeting and that we should look forward to tomorrow.
Seriously teasing much! She's even apologizing about that in the post, lol.
