Thanks to kinot on baidu

I like Eternity more than CTC because only 3 promoted songs in later one are my favourite, but all Eternity songs are still listenable for me especially Swallowtail Butterfly.

[Minttulatte]

I can't say which cover album I love more because for me both are equally amazing. Both of them has great songs in them so it's hard to choose.

And thanks for that longer version of Winner Girls. I seriously doubt it's only 2 minutes long tho. That sounded more like a radio edit version, but who knows? Kuu usually surprises me at some point anyway so... x3 I'd also like to have a rip of the song so I can listen to it before the album is out.

[Corvina]

It's a radio rip, it's probably longer.^^
About half a minute maybe.
Still a bit short, but anyway.

[pimenta]

Loving Winner Girls I hope it's at least a minute longer, because it's so good!

And I freaking love the full PV for SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA!! Yeah, it's simple, but I think it's great, it fitted the song so perfectly! I think the simplicity, but still well executed, is what makes me love it the most

[ILoveGeniuses]

I cant choose between the two cover albums. I love em both. ♥♥♥♥♥

[abestfah]

Winner girls is good but lookalike other Koda' songs, nothing surprising.

[Surreal17]

Not too excited for this release....I like SHOW ME YOUR HOOLA (although the chorus is annoying) but the majority of singles are not worth it...
I haven't heard Winner Girls yet..

[freedreamer]

Winner Girl is great!!!

[Beauty4123]

I've listened to the radio rip of "Winner Girls" & I totally love it! It sounds so cool. I can't wait to hear the full version!

You serious? I find it to be the exact opposite, lol!
Everybody is too scared to say the word flawless anymore, because there's this myth of past glorification , so, of course I can't say this is perfect, 'cause only the old stuff can be perfect! Or so I noticed (especially with Ayu, poor lad).

[SKYia]

Well, with Ayu (to me at least) she gets worse and worse music wise, so even if I really wanted to I just can't say good things about her recent music, avarage at most, while Kumi (again, to me) is getting better and better, both album and concert wise, but especially concert wise, Japonesque Tour would be flawless except for the ballad wig which was cartoonish and I didn't like how Kumi looked in it, but everything else was just so perfect. I'm so looking forward to the new album but I wish there were more new PVs, some of them are from the time she was pregnant so like one, almost two years old, and there's little new stuff.

Can someone reupload 'winner girls', it's not loading for me

[happiholic★]

Winner Girls is not really doing it for me, but I do think that the full song is longer. It sounds like they cut off part of the song to me.

Made a Mp3 rip here:

[Gustavopc]

^ Thanks for the rip!

I was expecting it to sound like Good*Day, but it turns to be less child-ish, really like it! If we have another two good up-beats tracks like SMYH and Winner Girls on this album, I'd already die of happiness. And one amazing rnb mid-tempo like Okay and No way would not hurt at all also

[ayumisrael]

Winner Girls sounds really nice, a bit better than SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA that was just nice.

But I hope that there will be really awesome album tracks. Gimme some Lay Down, ESCALATE, So Nice, Boom Boom Boys high quality, JAPONESQUE had so many and so far Bon Voyage doesn't really come close, but maybe on the way, a bit.

For me, JAPONESQUE was kuu's best work since Black Cherry/~second session~ era. I mean, JAPONESQUE tops Kingdom, TRICK, UNIVERSE, feel my mind and Deja vu so it's a really hard competition.

[ILoveGeniuses]

TBH, Im actually disappointed so far.

[Lady~Deviance]

I actually enjoy listening to 'Winner Girls' surprisingly. It does sound very reminiscent of her older material but with a modern twist just like Namie's 'TSUKI'.

With the exception of 'Touchdown', none of her new songs scream "New Koda Kumi" like she mentioned in her Vivi interview. However, I think the unreleased latter half of the album will display this "evolution" that she speaks of.

I guess this album will be a slow transition of her evolved sound which, in all honesty, is a smart (and most logical) move on her part.
