Kou is pretty in that CM. The preview sound nice. I love Kou's ballad so much!
They already announces the next album. Really fast. Northern Lights is a nice title.
the cover looks pretty. but I prefer the promo pic.

thanks for sharing all news

Happy, happy! On the other hand - my poor wallet! :(

:laugh If we could lose weight as fast as our wallet if would be nice XD

I found the cover in bigger version:

I wanna go see her on tour....And I'm buying that album even if I have no money. :D And I love the limited edition cover. But the cover for wish was really amazing. And Mukei Spirit - so cute.

Does anyone have the full single of wish? Normally, the release date was 20th April?

Oh good news about the album. I like the title.^^ the covers are amazing. I hope we'll have HQ soon. They make me to want making graphics with them.^^

You're lucky to go to her concert! ^^

^haha, I just want to go. I don't have any money to go to Japan right now. First priority would be an Ayu concert anyway. :D

can someone post the album covers here for me? :P

i guess "Northern Lights" was a fake title, haha. "CIRCLE CYCLE" is so much better! :cool

is track 9 supposed to be titled "SayonaLove", btw? to me it looks like it could be a typo for "Sayonara". :P

The album is ready for preorder at yesasia and I just preordered. It'll be a present to myself.

The track is really called Sayonalove. Kind of like LOVEppears. :) Love is always written RA BU in Furigana. So I think it's supposed to sound like SA YO NA RA BU! :) Anyway the track was released before.

Some track titles are cute. Aine Kleine, haha that sounds like "Eine Kleine" which is German for A Little One (female)....funny.

I misunderstood. Sorry. >.<

Which version did you order?

Limited with DVD. :D

I'll upload Wish tomorrow :)
And I also ordered the album, but the regular version for me <3

From Tokyohive:

i've found "Sayonarabu":


it's really good :heart

Kou has her own twitter since a few weeks ago. She had a live presentation a few weeks ago via U-stream for CIRCLE CYCLE (from Bulgaria where she was filming 47 Ronin). When I watched the stream I knew it was the right decision to order this album. It's just great pop music. Yes, CIRCLE CYCLE is an amazing album. There are only 13 tracks. Love Paranoia felt longer for some reason. If you have any money to spare at all just go and buy this album. You won't regret it.

I've just listened to Kou for to first time (Mukei Spirit) and I'm very much in love with the song. I'm going to listen to Circle Cylcle (since that's the most recent album and has most likely a similar style?), but can someone recommend me some of her older stuff? I'm not that into ballads, though hers don't seem to be that boring, but maybe she has some good upbeat stuff too? Thanks in advance :).

^I've always liked her ballads the most out of all her songs tbh. I haven't even listened to CIRCLE CYCLE myself yet. I'm still waiting until I buy it. But if you're gonna download that one anyways, I guess it doesn't matter. These are my favorites separated into type. I love all of these:

Upbeat: ラバソー ～lover soul～, よくある話～喪服の女編～, nØw, 忘却, 祈り, 泪月 -oboro- (by RUI), KISSして (by KOH+)

Relaxing: 浮雲, 眠レナイ夜ハ眠ラナイ夢ヲ


...and I know you didn't want ballads particularly, but these ones are amazing and definitely worth a look. They're all from her first album:

Ballads: 月のしずく, 忽忘草, いくつかの空

I haven't listened to Circle cycle yet either xD
I'm still kinda in love with Love Paranoia.. I think it's excellent, a perfect balance of styles ;) hehe

and Kou has amazing upbeat songs, I absolutely love them :heart
while her ballads are really something special too, just gorgeous :D

^I like the selection you put up there bondingo ^^
