Haha thats a cute name. I was also thinking perhaps she could do a Premium Night ~Love & Songs 2~ short arena tour. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

So On and On will the ultimate cellphone ballad anthem I am curious on how it will sound like... I'd guess it'll be typical classical-ish ballad and NO ME WITHOUT YOU (can't help but think this will be related to NO ELSE ONE BUT YOU) will be the rnb tune I was waiting for.

And mu-mo has shipped my copy of WOML Tour, yey!

[kaled kalil]

I can't wait to see the promotion for this album and her singing Ai no Uta everywhere. <3

[Delicious n Bold]

Wow what a reverse A7 winter classics experience. I wonder if we'll get the other two season collections.
I wonder if these releases are the price of freedom...

[Ryusei]

CD only and Fanclub cover are both fabulous, much nicer than the Summer Of Love ones IMO but you know they shot these on the same day and then put some filters over these covers (At least that's what it looks like) Idk why they don't just release singles instead of these albums, they won't sell any better than a single...

[Isicio]

Omg I want the fan club version u.u

There's some description here

Hm, yes, On And On will have a smartphone type music video, done by the production company AOI Pro (http://www.aoi-pro.com/en/about/).
It's further explained, that On And On is a song with the theme of "people being connected to each other". The PV will reflect that, as smartphones are an important tool to stay connected even with distance through video phoning. So they apparently shot the video in smartphone size (length being bigger than width).
It looks like Kuu will be shown in different scenes singing on the smartphone (but I'm not completly sure with this sentence).

[jiarongisme]

On And On reminds me of Love goes like... Though I doubt it's gonna be similar at all

[thomas]

Is she going for an Australian winter theme? Because even though these covers are pretty, I don't think they seem very wintry at all.

I like the concept for On and On and can't wait to hear the preview.

[pimenta]

The covers don't feel "winter" at all, but I like them I like how they fit with the previous best, it's gonna look like a nice duo on the shelf.

I like the tracklist as well. Can't wait for the previews of the new songs.

EDIT: does anyone know what the heck is スマプラ (sumapura)?

What makes you think she will even promote this?

Not that I don't want to but, you know, this is as lazy as it gets

Oh my, I just realized this just gives her more reason to keep singing Ai no Uta everywhere lol

I wish the CD only cover was for the CD+DVD/BD versions, It's by far the best imo, but I won't buy the CD only

[Corvina]

I think it's nice as it's breaking her usual release schedule. Unless she's releasing a new album in February right behind.

[Gustavopc]

^ As much as I want a new studio album, for the sake of my wallet oh no she better don't. WoL has already four versions, much as WOML and BV had, I guess they are indeed postponing an album.

[Minttulatte]

As someone who absolutely worships Kuu's winter ballads I'm having a party here. FINALLY I GOT WHAT I NEEDED. \o/

As for next year's tour. I would kill for another Billboard Live Tour tbh. The first one was fabulous (and made me love Ai no Kotoba) so another one with a setlist of ballads and few catchy tunes would be so wonderful imo.

[Corvina]

And that's the good thing about having same covers and contents for DVD and BluRay edition - for collectors it makes one edition less to buy.

This, pretty much. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the very few international fans who is really excited for this.

[kaled kalil]

^ I am excited as well!

@Luck16 I know she won't promote, but as pimenta said: this is another reason for keep singing Ai no uta. haha
