I am an occasional listener to Koda Kumi, and even though I am not impressed with this release, I absolutely dig the two first songs W FACE and BRIDGET SONG. Especially W FACE is such an awesome blast: Cannot stop listening to it. On Spotify I have added TOUCH DOWN as follow up on W FACE and its transition is so awesome that I keep on playing it on repeat. Thanks Kumi, I can always count on you on slamming sexy hits.

tokyoxjapanxfan 16th March 2017 01:00 PM

I love driving hit's cover so much ugh. I wish her general releases had a similar aesthetic sometimes. I'm really excited for it~

~kashifaita~ 16th March 2017 04:17 PM

I'm absolutely in loooooove with Bassline, Bangerang & Wicked Girls. That's my holy trinity. Also, can't wait to see the tracklist for DH7! Let's see if it'll top the epicness of DH6

a❤martian 16th March 2017 04:37 PM

I always love reading interviews from Kuu. She's so emotional yet realistic.
And I'm not a big Beyoncé fan, but I can appreciate that she was inspired by her.

abestfah 16th March 2017 04:53 PM

I woulk like to know
The booklet for both albums are the same or not?

Toniayu123 16th March 2017 05:04 PM

I made some of my friends listen to W FACE (song) and they're addicted to it already. They said "I didn't expect Japanese music to sound like this".
Spreading the word of Goda Kumi.
Edit: why couldn't cupcake be longer??? Hope we get a good remix for it on DH

Corvina 16th March 2017 05:47 PM

Some news.

KuuXAyu-fan 16th March 2017 06:06 PM

It seems that the news of Kuu topping the charts this time is actually helping + the TV promo. Inside is up to #15 on Oricon. I hope that Avex continue the momentum and book her on Music Station and the FNS Spring special. Even if not, I'm glad things are looking up for Kuu a little bit. :)

Corvina 16th March 2017 06:14 PM

Her Uta Con performance also made some (positive) headlines cause of her "black tears" and the warm response of the audience.

Oricon Daily (9th day)

#15 Inside
#18 Outside

Oricon Daily (10th day)

#9 Inside
#10 Outside

The album is back on top 10, Inside will probably outsell Outside.

That's my guess also. Probably inside having more (or all? not sure) tie-ins and being more friendly to the overall Japanese audience, it might get a longer chart life than outside.
And talking on tie-ins, has the dorama of On my way already started airing?

Where have you been? xD
It's airing for about a month already.
We got the first On my way preview from the dorama.

Gustavopc 17th March 2017 04:03 PM

I was just not sure if my memory was right ahahaha These days have been a mess for me irl ahahah Thanks!

kaled kalil 17th March 2017 04:05 PM

The dorama ends next week, btw.

KuuXAyu-fan 17th March 2017 04:54 PM

The Dorama was at midnight anyway so I don't think it helped too much.
Regardless I'm happy to see the albums back in the top 10!

I hope her Tetsuko interview next week can help a little as well :)

Baco__ 17th March 2017 05:22 PM

Midnight? How come a midnight dorama tie-in would help her in the charts lol how come there's even a midnight dorama lol weekend only? O.o

Unfortunately Kuu hasn't had any good tie-ins in a long time. At this point they probably think that anything is better than nothing.
