Nishino Kana (西野カナ) the 11th thread ~ Love Place ~

[adantatu2]

I like the PV, the song is growing on me

[Zeke.]

Song really isn't my favorite. Maybe it will grow on me because I've noticed sometimes I listen to her songs and think "nothing special" or even "I hate this" and then it's like "oh this is ok" and then all of a sudden "GOD I LOVE THIS" lmfao.

But the PV... what a disaster. First time I've watched a Kana PV and man is she freaking boring. She just looks so somber, dull and dead - you can really tell she is lip-syncing as her expressions don't fit the emotion in the music at all.

[AyuGAME]

i feel that Kana become really commercial...
the PV really all about the jewerly and the car...
glad that she finally let go the handphone...but now it's jewerly and car...

i like the song, not her best..the PV is boring

[mangoo_x3]

I love you Kana but.... b***** you looks dead in that PV. garrrrrrrrl was just staring at the camera. LIFELESS. And the more and more I listen to the song.. the more I feel it being really disappointing. I mean the very beginnning and the chorus WAS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! Then the rest is just meeeh



Hope the album will be amazing though.

[NintendoHTF1242]

God I love the song so much. But the PV omg

[Yoake]

Be Strong is not innovative at all. However it's better than her previous single songs. It raises the level of the album that was really low for me. The pv is as the most of her pvs quite boring.

[ayu_ready?]

the song is really cool, I love it Kana looks very beautiful. and somewhat older? or mature

[x-megumi-x]

It seems she will already release a new single in November *_*

^The day before my birthday! I hope it's true!

She is repeating herself too much
This is boring,although i will give the album a spin or two.
I still have respect for her due to the fact that If is one of her best stuff and few more singles she released

[Mirrorcle Monster]

BORING, her career is becoming terribly boring...

I kind of agree here... It seems for me I don't focus as much as, say, miwa or Sayuri Sugawara... (that's my opinion)

...wait a minute - NEW SINGLE ALREADY!? But we haven't released the new album yet!!!

[Zeke.]

I don't think she's boring. Maybe because I just got into her but I thought her b-sides Just the way you are, Secret, Happy Half Year!, and Love Like Crazy are my favorites from her! I also have grown fond of Talk To Me, and GO FOR IT!! is a nice listen as well. Even that Summer song is on her latest single has grown on me. I don't think her older stuff is anywhere near as good. Especially "if" that everyone talks so much about. Was listening to it today and thought "Is this really 'If'? God it's so repetitive and boring, not much change throughout the song - kind of annoying." I prefer her more uplifting songs!

[PoetGirl]

she can get a lil boring, but she's the best jpop has to offer now except ayu so please

[Kouyou]

I'm waiting until I get my copy of the album to listen to and watch the PV for Be Strong. So excited for it! c:

[adantatu2]

I like Kana, but you're right, she is repeating herself too much

[Benikari47]

I feel like her songs this era focus so much on being your typical Jpop mainstream ballads that they have everything original stripped away.
The songs are pretty but get boring on multiple listens cause they all sound the same.

[TeamAyu2004]

I dont find her that boring right now..
although I really dont listen to her singles and tend to just wait for the albums...
so maybe I dont over listen to her or something?

[Utena]

Well, first, Be Strong's purpose is not to be creative, it's to SELL. It's an album promo track afterall, I wouldn't expect anything but what's made her popular to begin with.
Other tracks from this era were different though (SAKURA, I LOVE YOU? & GO FOT IT!! mainly). Obviously, it's hard to please everyone, but at least she's trying different things, yet keeping in mind what a more mainstream part of the population would like.
I find it a bit odd if not harsh to call her boring when she's only been trying to offer us some variety while keeping some sort of unity in style... You might not like it, but it's not what I would call being boring. Esp. when she has not been around for so long...

I can only speak for myself, but I enjoyed Tatoe Donna Ni.. & SAKURA ILY a lot, I still listen to those two a lot. On the other hand, not too fond of Watashitachi & GO FOR IT!!.. I used to like every single song Kana released, but this time I can't say I was pleased.. Even with the b-sides :/

[Minttulatte]

I personally have enjoyed every single of this era a lot. There's no bad song that I've come across yet. I'm very excited for her album.
