Blu-Ray is the best cover by far imo.
Great pose, she looks stunning and the whole pic is nicely balanced.

She talked about this and that, a bit about the tour, having 2 concerts a day and so on.
The acapella lines were from the new song again.
She mentioned the making ofs on the FC version are very long.
Fans also were asking her to do a dinnershow and she was so suprised, like "you know those are really expensive, don't you?".
That's how far I remember.
It was a simple "chat while dining after the show"-Insta live

The CD-only cover is so jarring to me because her mouth is closed :laugh

Think I’ll probably end up going with CD+DVD as I find that to be the least offensive cover

i like the promo picture better than any of the covers.

I agree that the cover could have been executed better in grayscale (I'd love to have only a few elements in colour)

then again WFace was already gray.

Look, somebody on Baidu recorded the SHUTOUT interlude movie from the broadcast today:

nice nice!! but what is she sayin'? Shou shout the... ?

“Shoutout Oricon” lol
I like this one too

I love LOADED so I’m looking forward to the new song with Sean Paul. And interested in the new edit of Eh Yo!

I see what everyone has been saying about the grey background in the covers. The color clash is ugly. Would have liked a black background with glowing neon cords.

The JAPONESQUE concert just started and I'm already in awe - the bridge parts are coming down from the ceiling as well as up from the ground, so pretty!
And her voice is great from the beginning today.
Lots of loud male fans there today, nice.

The crazy pirate yesterday was Ooba, not Akihiro, my bad. :laugh

I think it's just another onomatopoeia.

All the covers are great but CD+DVD cover is the last on my ranking and the preordered one for me. I Hope the new songs sound good.

FAKY attended yesterday's re(LIVE) / Black Cherry concert in Sendai Sun Plaza Hall

The bridge coming down from the ceiling was a surprise to me as well! It looked so good.

The projections during the first section looked great as well, for a while it really looked like it was from an arena tour.

All the outfits for the JAPONESQUE were an improvement to me, the koskoso one was very sexy.

I can't wait for a proper footage from the DVD, with better vocals (I hope) and good angles, because for the stream the camera was way too close.

I still haven't watch the reCORD section tho.

I love the new black cherry pirate outfit!

And OMG that nude shot at the end! :love I swear Kuu just gets more beautiful with age.

It does sound like she's saying "shut up, Oricon" lol

I hope we‘ll get the MVs of SHUTOUT, STRIP and GET NAKED with the DVD/BD release of the tour. I can’t imagine that they don’t include it and waste that opportunity...

I guess I can see why they would save STRIP / SHUTOUT for bonuses on the tour DVD but it makes ZERO sense for GET NAKED to be left off the album DVD. It’s not played in any capacity at the tour and parts of the PV are tied into the freaking covers of the album, so like...??? What are they doing?

Didn’t they also say in a press release earlier that the PV that was ~connected with the covers~ be part of the release?

Like why is this happening

tbh I think they simply forgot to add GET NAKED to the tracklist

Now that I've seen the tour - they do play the lightbulb scenes from the PV on the screen for the GET NAKED performance. Just the cover shots are new it seems.
And they only said we should look forward to it, not that it would be on the album.

On the random note of Kuu and Chanmina, I would like to add Yayoi Daimon to the list of Kuu sound a likes.

Did Leslie Kee shoot her covers?

Thanks for the link. I love the way her voice sounds in SHUTOUT. The PV is quite cool. It’s amazing how back to 2007 she looks with the old Black Cherry outfit.
I guess this will be the last digital release before the album release.


I do find sad they missed the opportunity to include the interlude PVs (which are quite okay for her standards nowadays) in the album content. I don’t think exclusive PV for urban songs would have any impact on the concert sales nowadays.

Anyway I’m quite hype by the album. I appreciate she tried to innovate in her way to sing songs lately.
Last time I was that hyped by a release must be with JAPONESQUE!


Edit : first pics from the concerts are finally out
