To my surprise globe's discography is a lot more complex than I thought
I found out that most of the songs on 8 YEARS album are different to the ones that I originally listened to, I think because they are "straight run" ver. It seems that the versions I initially listened to on decade album were "album ver." |

Oooh good to know! Is the 8 Years album worth a purchase then?
I contacted YesAsia about Level 4 as it still hasn't been shipped. |

^I think it depends on the ear of the person who is listening, maybe some people won't notice it. I hope you get your copy!
I recognized 5 tracks which were different to the originals I knew from globe decade album (Apart from the 2 remix songs): 1) Love again 2) FACES PLACES 3) FACE 4) still growin' up 5) DON'T LOOK BACK 2 and 3: basically MARC and TK voices are louder. KEIKO's voice is really really low in some parts of FACES PLACES. 1 and 4: the instrumental track is sightly different only 5: This is the most drastic change because KEIKO start singing right ahead at 00:01, she also sings some MARC lines and drums were added throughout the track. |

Thanks for the help visionfactory
Quote:
I noticed that on Keiko's page on Wikipedia under her discography as KCO, it lists one of her releases as Mystic Fawn. Does anyone know what this is? I assume it's a song rather than an album. YesAsia finally e-mailed me to say there were unable to get Level 4 from their supplier (so in the end all of my order for this month, O-Crazy Luv and Level 4 were cancelled), but I found it for a good price on Amazon (from the same seller I got O-Crazy Luv from I think, so I hope Level 4 comes as quick as that order did!) |

My copy of Level 4 arrived a few weeks ago and finally getting round to posting my thoughts on it.
So far I think my favourite is Out of C Control although I really need to listen to the album some more to form my opinion on it! Compass is also great! I also need to listen to O-Crazy Luv again. I've been neglecting it with all the new music I have to listen to. I am enjoying it but was also hoping for more bangers like Humanrace! |

Last Angel borrows a lot from Winter Comes Round Again.
This song is seriously intensely brilliant Concerning the video..I didn't know globe was so popular in Sinosphere countries back then. |

Level 4 is definitely a grower. Not as good as The Lights albums but still some fantastically produced high flying trance pop. Be sure to check out the single remixes they are different and just as good as the album versions!

Remode 2 is seriously so good, I can't stop listening to it. I remember thinking the cover looks a bit "childish" when first saw cover art of Remode 2, but now I take back all those thoughts, reason why is because
Keiko was the one who wrote the title ;-( TK uploaded this on his twitter back during August, said he wanted to let her do more than just providing vocal tracks so he asked her to write the title in studio. Made me change my opinion 180 degree lol, now it just feels so personal to the listener?? Photos of TK and Keiko went out to eat for TK's birthday a few days ago SO HAPPY to see Keiko of the current time and not from just the past. I hope she will come back. And I agree, FACES PLACES is just pure genius of a song

It's so good to see Keiko again! (I was starting to wonder if we ever would tbh!) Thank you for posting these pics!
It's interesting to know she wrote the album title too. And this does sound like a stupid thing to say but "OMG her hair is black!" |
#233

OMG thanks for posting these! It's so cool that she wrote the title I was just browsing yesterday to buy Remode 2 but I thought it was too expensive :/ compared to Remode 1 which had 2 CDs
I really love Remode 1 remixes! |

So cool! I will check out their remix albums. I don't want to "spoil" myself for the rest of their studio albums I have yet to buy!

When I started checking this thread I barely knew globe. I was introduced to their music by KEIKO's "Light brought the future" (from song+nation) and "Lights" album.
Now that I have time listening to their music I can say my favorite songs are Wanderin' Destiny and Can't Stop Fallin' In Love. I'm a fan of other TK works like Ami Suzuki and Namie Amuro but it's different at least for me, that for globe music TK worked hard on creating a special aura or feeling behind each song. Also I didn't post it here! I recorded a clip of myself singing Cant' Stop Fallin' In Love for NHK's J-MELO and they broadcasted it! It seems that they broadcasted it for a second time with TK on the studio but I never found the full show online (I only found cuts with idols segments on the show..) |

I have ordered Lights2 so can't wait to receive it!
I wish they would release more information on Keiko's condition although I understand that she may want to keep it private. I've always assumed that she will return to the stage one day. The only information that seems to be released about her condition is that "the prognosis appears to be good". |

That's so good I wanted to order it but I quit my job so...
By the way I just found out that Sony re-re-released some globe albums in master tape format. How do you even play music in that format and how the packaging looks? Can't find pics of it anywhere They released it on December 2016 |

^Interesting, I never knew that! Is it just a collectors item?
YesAsia cancelled my copy of Lights2 as they were unable to source it. I think a lot of Globe's albums are out of print but Avex have re-released some of them luckily. I ended up ordering a used copy on Amazon for £5 as the new versions were around £30. Apparently, although used, it is good quality. |
