Are ya ready ? Then Stand Up ! for the awesome Kuroki Meisa in her 3rd thread

[Beauty4123]

just finished listening to the album! i absolutely LOVED it. i can tell the difference between ATTITUDE and hellcat, in terms of music style. i think i prefer her look and style now than before. but anyway, i think "are ya ready?" and "#1" are my favorites right now, but i love "Late Show" and "Awakening", too. the interludes are also very good. and i LOVE the scans, like seriously stunning scans! much better than hellcat's, IMO. good job, meisa! this album is awesome.

I'm a bit disappointed with the songs. I know it's a mini album, but 3 instrumentals? Was that really necessary? I really like Stand Up and Are You Ready?

that's true

hellcat didn't had those interludes so in a way the album felt short changed with 6 songs as compared to 8 in hellcat

ah well T_T

[AyUta]

^ I know what you mean, but for some odd reason, that didn't bother me

[ayumi.hamasaki]

that is true there are too many interludes in the album

[aqua_crystal]

Wow, the ATTITUDE booklet was actually quite nice

As for the songs, there are too many interludes, but like Temmy, I seem to have no problem with that. The only problem I had was that the songs sounded repetitive and her voice was missing that extra edge which she had in hellcat. Overall its good album but Kuroki could really do with some more vocal training. I'm quite curious to see how it'll do on Oricon tomorrow.

[KarenPang]

well at least she's moving away from the whole image she portrayed in hellcat if you know what I mean

but yeah ATTITUDE needs a lot more spins at my end , it's not like hellcat where every song on the album's so distinct/unique

[NintendoHTF1242]

Are ya ready? is so damn hot <3

[mcluva420]

just heard the ATTITUDE album. I love the whole thing! *O*

TV CM for "SPACE BATTLESHIP ヤマト":

You see Meisa at the 0:21 mark.

It looks like she's a fighter pilot or something. That peaks my interest in the film significantly.

[KarenPang]

lol I'm sorry but basically I was staring HARD at SMAP's Takuya Kimura in there D: D: D: D:

Kuroki was like a blink & you miss kinda thing in the CM if you know what I mean T_T

[Beauty4123]

i saw that CM during JE countdown i gotta admit, takuya kimura really IS handsome meisa looked nice even if it was for a second.

[FIRSTKLAS]

Takaya Kimura's hair is positively mesmerizing so I think you two can be forgiven.

And it looks like Meisa's character, Yuki Mori, may not be a fighter pilot after all:

Yuki Mori (森雪): initially Dr. Sado's nurse, Yuki gained the additional responsibilities aboard Yamato of operating the radar, performing computer calculations, taking care of the crew's morale and searching planets for food sources. She is from the outset attracted to Kodai, but conceals her true feelings with girlish glee. As the only significant female crew member, she is also frequently the victim of fan service. Her Japanese name means "forest snow", creator Matsumoto being fond of female characters with "Yuki" (snow) as part of their name.

Unless there's extensive reimagining involving her character she may not be as kick-ass as I was hoping.

[KarenPang]

yeah Takuya Kimura is just hot . It's a pity that he's married with 2 daughters if not I would have stood a chance JOKE xD

& the character that Kuroki's playing in SPACE BATTLESHIP ヤマト , it sounded like her in a way or 2 , a tough fighter

my eyes went big when I saw the words fan service attached to the description of her character there xD xD xD

[aqua_crystal]

What the heck...? SPACE BATTLESHIP?! Sounds like the Japanese Star Trek... Lol, trust Kuroki to come in the strangest of roles.

[Baernash]

I think I like her debut mini-album a little more. It's melodic, have more tracks etc. Anyway ATTITUDE still keep a good level

I feel like I say this over and over, because I do, but hellcat is her debut album, hence why it says so at her official site, every shop, etc. this is her first mini-album

[Picaflor 7/4]

Just recently listened to hellcat. (yes I got around to it) I preffer hellcat over attitude. honestly if I was in the mood, I could skip every single song on attitude except are ya ready. on hellcat, I love every song except lost. I love sex, no no no, bad girl, like this, and criminal.

[freedreamer]

I'm really enjoying Late Show (it's ridiculously space-y hahha), ATTITUDE is ok..

Stand Up! is quite messy...and there's like no emotions.

[KarenPang]

YAY I'm so smart I knew it that there's going to be a HK press / CD + DVD of ATTITUDE xD

http://www.hmv.com.hk/product/japanese.asp?sku=780506

it will be out next Wed but D: it's expensive at HK$180.00 (US$23.08 / SG$32.13) which's the same price as what HMV HK's charging for hellcat now & this price doesn't include shipping in the mix X___X

I remembered I only paid HK$125 for hellcat at that time when it was released but man T_T

ATTITUDE will still cost me quite a bit at about S$42.49+ as registered airmail shipping will be HK$56 since HMV HK goes by per disc & not by item D:

if Sony BMG HK made the CD only , HMV HK will charge HK$41 instead

anyway PHEW , I'm relieved that I didn't ordered the CD + DVD edition of ATTITUDE from CDJapan xD . I learnt well from my mistakes
