^Awesome! Glad to see it's turning out to be more of a dance cover album
It would be cool if it had one or two really good ballads on it, though!
And yeah, to me, JAPONESQUE tour makes more sense. Usually she releases an album and does the tour straight after to promote it, like a set, but she couldn't with JAPONESQUE, so she would want to do the JAPONESQUE tour before releasing another album to do another tour with, but of course she would want to release something in the mean-time, too, so a cover album is a perfect choice while she catches up with the JAPONESQUE tour people have been waiting for!
My two cents, anyway
