Those towels Love the Koda Gumi Shop towel, I suppose that one is only for fanclub members?

I agree And not sure about that, bug I hope its not just for them.

Don't like the album. Kinda annoyed by the songs. Best one is Lovely.

So, about Lovely... Can't believe people weren't liking it! It's catchy, really fun. Can't help but smile during the chorus. Don't think it's too long at all.

Find it very strange people were calling this boring but the whole forum is obsessed with that snoozefest LOVE again album.

It's a pepped up version of Someday!

This album is fantastic. Of course I still like all of the upbeat songs better than the ballads...but just like her other cover album, the ballads are pretty nice.

Again, I'm really proud of the arrangements they came up with and all the different feels of the songs. And I really love that jazz track. That's great

I do feel like this album is a bit more "muted", and that the tracks aren't so in your face. I kinda like that.

Thanks for the SkyDrive file, emi. Much easier than using all those sketchy upload sites.

No problem


And omg just saw the Shake Hip PV. She. is. fabulous. Must learn dance.

Ah, and pink spider pv is up @ jps now. I'm behind. Weird how we got dvd rips before the tv hd ones.


Yeah, they really should have had pink spider be extended for the finished pv.

[Dream]

I love Pink Spider PV, but I don't get why is it so short...

[Heavenly]

I listened to the album and I have to admit that I like it !
Except a few tracks, I find it very rockish, colorful, rich and fresh !
Maybe I'll buy it later .

Just watched the Shake Hip! PV, too! One of my favorites in a long time. I need an HQ version to watch on my HDTV and bask in her glory. It was simple, but I loved the dancing!

I have NO IDEA what is going on Pink Spider's PV. She gets a gang of women and...form their own independent troupe? I thought there would be this grand storyline...but...huh?

ahh that's disappointing.

[emi♡]

Oh I see~ I was wondering wth lol

[Gustavopc]

I though the "movie" version was going to be included on the DVD, how sad ):

So, here goes my overall views on Color the Cover, longest post of the year so far hahahahaha

Spoiler:

Pink Spyder - Great song, even if it's not as dark as hide's version. idk I think that still kept its strength and now there's a bit of sexyness. Much better than the cover thar RIZE did, which was basically chaotic-way-too-long intro, ten times more screams and drums and guitar riffs.
The PV was a bit messy, but it's really eyegasmic! Confuse plot, yes, but then I'm used to this when it comes to Jpop She looks amazing in those scenes inside that cage

Shake Hip! - Probably my favorite on the album rn It's catchy and I could play it on repeat for like forever hahahahaha Everything fits well in here, amazing job
About the video, I love the simple concept of it, and she looks amazing in both sets! Plus whoever coreographed it did an amazing job, cant wait for live perfomances OMG ASFGHJKASDFGHJASDFGHJKL

Lovely - I like it, not that sweet-Melting-ish, yet cute. Could be shorter, but this doesn't bother me at all lol
The video tho was a bit poor, not a fan of her outfit nor her hairstyle and there's nothing going on... Skippable

Jounetsu - AMAZING I LOVE HOW SHE PULLS OUT THOSE AGUILERA ROARS IN THE ENDING OMG Seriously, amazing! If she ever pulls another concert like ETERNITY at Billboard Live, she NEEDS to perform this!

One more time - I love the feelings I get while listening to this, a bit ethereal a bit rnb. It's like a reloaded version of It's too late meeting faraway <3 Amazing

Alone - I was hoping for a new version since they didnt include a preview along with the other songs ): Still I love it hahahahaha The song grows in such a beautiful way and her vocals are superb

Blue Velvet - Reminds me of TATTOO! The intro is great and I found such a love for that break that words can not explain it omg Wish it had a PV instead of Lovely uuuurgh

Otoko - It doesnt sound like a Kuu track at all, but I like it hahahaha Its style reminds me of Aya Kamiki a bit, which is a total win. Great song, I can already see this growing on me to one of my favorite songs of 2013.
ps: I hope Kuu perform this and Blue Velvet with No Man's Land in a rockish section of JAPONESQUE Tour, it could be EPIC!

Dounimo tomaranai - Even though I was hoping for a latin styled song, this one is such a solid and catchy tune, there's no way I could not love it hahahaha The begining reminds me of all those generic pop songs for dance clubs, with that chiptune-ish voice and all hahahahaha

Koyo no - I think it's the weakest track on the album, but as the album is so strong, it's not something that bad hahahaha Beautiful song, totally singable in a concert ending, but not my piece of cake

Uta wa - I already loved this since she covered it back in 2010 [?] and now I'm glad there's a HQ version of it lol Epic, totally. If she keeps ever stuck to this style when she gets older, I wont mind at all. Actually I'd love so, I think!

Summing everything up: Catchy and strong album, already prefer it over a handful of some of her studio albums. It could be longer tho, only 10 tracks + Alone gives you a feeling of "OH MY LORD I NEEDED MOAR SONGS IN THIS". Amazing job Kuu, keep on this track for your new studio album k?

AMAZING.
Love this song by UA. But Koda really made this song even better.
Pink Spider and Blue Velvet also amazing!

[ALfromHELLSING]

Lovin' Color the Cover, every track and this amazing 80s 90s feeling about it. My only complain is why the hell どうにもとまらない is only two and half minutes long. Is it song or interlude.

Does anyone know how can I download video from there? Or any good stream video downloader. The one in firefox doesn't really help. Thanks.

[Cahz-]

Disappointed with this album . I only like three songs: Pink spider, Blue velvet and Dou ni mo Tomaranai. Anyway, it's a cover album, still looking for her next original one...

You must never get your hopes up; Slavex/Rhythm (*insert 2nd half of company name here because i forgot it*) would never give you what you want.

[Delicious n Bold]

^Thanks!

I was gonna say rhythm nation but that was just wrong
And google failed me somehow. Somehow...
Someday
I like that song actually!

I'm really lovin dou ni mo tomaranai(?)
I actually paid the album dust when I first listened.
Now I'm digging it! Weird but I don't care.

[KLJames]

in preview Blue Velvet sound GOOD,
in full Blue Velvet sound SO GOOD!
i start imagine short hair Kuu (like in FANTASIA) perform this in rock section of her new tour! that will KILL!!!!
