So apparently, Crystal is in a new unit with some EXILE members. They will release a single on January 16th.
Received this from CDJapan:

The guy to her right is so cute, who is that?

setsuka · #**448** 28th November 2012, 06:16 PM

^TETSUYA from EXILE

I like NESMITH (also EXILE) more tho :3

the other member is USA (from EXILE)

more info on the group, so damn excited for this single : http://www.universal-music.co.jp/dan...rty/biography/

only Nesmith and C'kay will be singing I guess,since the other two solely dance in EXILE

NintendoHTF1242 · #**449** 28th November 2012, 09:08 PM

TETSUYA is really handsome

setsuka · #**450** 21st December 2012, 09:33 PM

short pv

the song is good, the pv is okay

call me cold hearted but inspirational,charity, uplifting pvs like Ayu's beloved or how beautiful you are make me gag a little

setsuka · #**451** 28th December 2012, 01:10 AM

b-side is much better since the A-side to me is quite generic and bland

I really wish they made a pv for this

TeamAyu2004 · #**452** 28th December 2012, 02:01 AM

i forgot they were doing this!!
I hope they make some good sales and stay around for awhile, unlike sometimes when they just release a few singles and thats it.

and personally the b-side is much worse and more generic then the a-side, just sayin.

setsuka · #**453** 28th December 2012, 02:58 AM

...the group isn't permanent just for their stage play,so this is the beginning of the end

What is this I don't even

Song is a total snoozefest, Inochi no Rhythm sounds a lot better.

If it were just Crystal singing, this song would be a lot more tolerable. That EXILE guy really drags the song down.

why is vivid such good album?
take it outside is a jam.

i feel so bad for ck. such a good album yet it bombed. she needs to come to north america/europe. i'd be all for this chick.
tbh i'd rather hear her songs in english.

TeamAyu2004 · #**456** 29th December 2012, 07:05 PM

i love most of the tracks on vivid!
it should have done wonderfully, but sadly it didnt...

Delicious n Bold · #**457** 3rd January 2013, 08:14 AM

I'm now in the process of discovering her music actually lol

setsuka · #**458** 3rd January 2013, 10:03 PM

that ballad is gawgeous but whatever

anyway my ranking of her albums would be like this:

ALL YOURS > COLOR CHANGE > VIVID > CALL ME MISS > Crystal Style
> Almost Seventeen > 4 REAL > SPIN THE MUSIC > C.L.L. ~CRYSTAL LOVER LIGHT > 637 -always and forever-

her music to me is GOLD therefore weakest album, her debut isn't that bad actually just not as good as the rest, I hope you enjoy discovering her music like I did

absolute fave rn since it is winter holiday would be Kiss

Delicious n Bold · #**459** 4th January 2013, 12:35 AM

everyone seems to hold all yours in such high regard lol

and my library HAS crystal style! guess what I'm borrowing the next time i go? mwuahahhaa

Eternal Memories is still one of my favorite songs by Crystal. It has a real vulnerability to it. It's extremely well produced, imo. It's super nice to listen to on rainy days haha. I love it and still remember when I discovered it~

TBH, Crystal was actually the very first Jpop artist I heard aside from anything included in anime. I was browsing the Sony.jp homepage in late early/mid 2004, when CK5 was about to be released, and noticed an English name and clicked on it out of curiosity and fell in love with her.

I love her early sound, up until 4Real are my favorite moments. But she's definitely continued to grow over the years! She's had low points and high points.

It's weird that after Color Change, she released a best album that did pretty good. But then Spin the Music just did horribly, and then the subsequent Vivid did as well.

Meh, I can't get too upset over her sales. I know her music is good.

Also, she'll be holding another acoustic tour! Crystal Cafe 2013 begins on March 4th until the 10th. I believe the last one was small as well. I'm thinking about trying to get tickets. It'll be my first time seeing her if I do!

http://crystalkayonline.com/cafe/index.html

She also left a New Year's message on Excite Music's homepage: http://www.excite.co.jp/music/newyear/?artist_id=31

It's in Japanese, but it's basically her summing up 2012. Vivid release, her tour, her collabo for "Where the wild things are", her collabo with Lionel Richie, singing "Eyes on me" in London for Final Fantasy's 25th anniversary, etc. And that her theme for 2013 is "New Crystal Kay" and that she'll continue "powering up" herself haha.
