That hair is a world of NO. :no

She looks so cool! I'm very excited for this single. I can't see the video, though. It says it's not available in my country :(

Haha :laugh I accidentely got into this thread and because I found the hairstyle very cool I took a closer look at the covers and decided to check her out. lol

Wow this hairestyle is a big change. I didn't recognize her at first (in the promo pic). actually it suit her very well. It gives me a manga's character style vibe.
The song isn't bad. I'm waiting to hear the whole song and to see the full pv.

oaristos : you should use Hola if the video can't be played in your country.

it looks like a wig (and I hope it is...) her hairstyle isn't that bad but not my cup of tea. She looks better with her usual long dark hair.
I like the song, you can actually hear the Ringo touch, it's a nice change and it suits Ko pretty well.

i like the covers:love

I just know maybe 3 songs on that list...lot of them are really old songs

TV SPOT :



and preview :

I'm in LOVE with Kou's cover of Soshite Boku wa Tohou ni Kureru, what perfection. :luv2 It's keeping me from getting into the rest of the album, maybe some time in the future...

On that note, I feel like I should try something of Kou's besides her cover albums, any recommendations? :)

^To me one of her best album is Circle Cycle.

Well, I FINALLY took the time to listen to CIRCLE CYCLE (almost three months after downloading it, lol).

It's really good! I'm happy to hear that Kou can also do upbeat tracks, although her bittersweet midtempo songs are still my favourites (Soshite Boku wa Tohou ni Kureru has been my obsession this whole season, and now I feel like wish will be getting similar attention in the future). Anyway, the album is really enjoyable all the way through, I don't think I disliked any of the tracks! Favourite songs: wish, Parallel World Reading, EUPHORIA, Philosophia.

So thank you for the recommendation, Yoake. :heart I think I'll try her other original albums next!

^ EUOHORIA is seriously so good...but you and I are music soulmates, so you knew that already :laugh

actuality is one of my favorite songs to listen to around Christmas time. I would love another x'mas single from Kou!

CIRCLE CYCLE is her best album to date and a true masterpiece. I love absolutely every song, but EUPHORIA, Wish, and Mukei Spirit are my favorites. ♥

Same! actuality is probably my favorite j-pop Christmas tune. It just has such a nice, cozy feeling to it.

Oh, I think I need to hear actuality asap! I downloaded a bunch of Kou's music last week, including the Single Best album which seems to include actuality, but haven't had the time to really try anything new yet. I've still been playing CIRCLE CYCLE incessantly, especially wish and EUPHORIA (which really is so good :luv2).

Glad to count a new Kou's fan among us. :D
I'm dying to have a new song. Her last single was released on year ago. >.<

Nothing new, ALL TIME BEST'll be released next week :
