oooh, nice goods!
i really like the bag and the key(chain).

i've just listened to the album for the first time. it went by so quickly! it was over and i was like "woah....that just FLEW BY!!"
but really, i like it. there are some great tracks (Lippy stands out to me at the moment), and yes, the overall flow is solid. it doesnt feel like a kuu album in a lot of ways, but she makes it her own with her voice alone.
there's still enough variation on the theme to make it interesting. and its just catchy as all hell from beginning to end! its quite unique to her discography, and im really grateful for that. this is just another step in the walk of her life, so im really curious to see if she will follow along the path that she started walking down with this album, and venture on through amazing and wonderful things.

to me, this album feels like a reminder that an artist is never complete. they're always experimenting, and trying to create something new and fulfilling in different ways. this album is not 'the final product' of the koda kumi project as a whole. it is not the be all, end all of her persona. just a moment of playfulness, joy, introspection and creation.
she may never have a definitive release as an artist, but her discography as a whole creates the complete picture of the project of koda kumi.
