This is such a great single..reminds me of Jpop maybe 6 or 7 years ago when singles were full of content.

Is it bad that my first impression of Lookbook is that it sounds like a rejected Pussycat Dolls demo?

I might just have to accept that BoA and I are done professionally...I haven't enjoyed her releases in damn near a decade. Let me go listen to the original (god-tier status) version of Meri Kuri and weep silently in the corner

Really? I felt that her last album was like a savior of JPOP for me.

^people are being dramatic over music again. BoAs production has always been top-notch. Most fans did not like when she took over the weel in Identity - same peopel are now complaining that she is releasing pre-written songs. I think all her songs are quite catchy and unique. Lookbook is her typical sound, Kiss My Lips sounds better in Japanese (which is rare) and the new Version of Meri Kuri is actually quite lovely. Of couse it does not live up to the original cause it is that iconic - but it is miles better than the last rendition we got.

I actually think that the new version of meri kuri gave it a new great interpretation that might even be better than the original.
Great single!
Since MASAYUME CHASING it really seems that BoA picks up in her Japanese career.

I loved every single she released since Only One, I don't even listen to her old stuff anymore. WHO'S BACK was full of good songs but the album itself is a mess due to the way the tracks were organized.

I think Kiss my lips sounds very good in Japanese. I like it more than Korean ver.

Lookbook song/PV are awesome. Kiss My lips sounds good in Japanese, still prefer it in Korean though. The new version of Meri Kuri is pretty, but she's released better versions.
I feel like this is her best original Japanese song in a long long time.
I usually feel like she doesn't put as much effort into her Japanese music and videos, but here you can tell she's trying more. I hope she continues this quality

Did they use the Korean Kiss My Lips video for the dance routine and replaces her face to fit the Japanese lyrics? Her face looks SO weird in those scenes

Oh! Yes, that makes perfect sense! Thank you so much!!!!

And... am I alone in not liking Kiss My Lips? I mean, I do. And I don't. xD I definitely love Lookbook, however. It's my new favorite song to listen to while I'm getting ready for work, putting on makeup and such!

I dislike KML so much I don't think I can even try to listen to it anymore...

I love her first japanese album, LTMH and everything after that 'til IDENTITY was so forgetful and plain out _bad_ with a few diamonds here and there (yeah, mostly singles). I fell in love with ID and was like "YES! She found her sound!!" and I wasn't disappointed with WB at all, although the album took forever to come out and when it finally did, how many _new_ songs did it have? That weren't already released or just translated from korean? One, two?

But daaaamn, I'm excited about what's next to come......

No, she reshoot some parts for the japaneses release. But some scenes were just shot for the korean version, so they had to use different angles to hide the fact she was singing in korean haha

I thought the japanese PV was kind cheap when it comes to editing, but her poses while singing in japanese were hotter if you compare both version

I really don't understand the hate Kiss My Lips. It's one of her best songs and probably my most listened track in 2015. And it's so damn sexy!

Look book is fun and I was happy with it during the leak, but it's so short. It doesn't have much longevity as a track. Esepecially cause the chorus is almost repeated twice the first time it's introduced, and normally that's held off until the finale. I've listened to the song maybe 5 times and I already feel like it's old.
