After a first listen of each albums, i've to say i'm happy with both albums.
I still consider Kumi as my favorite artist but i was disappointed with her releases in 2015 & 2016 with some exceptions (Like it, WALK OF MY LIFE, Dance in the Rain).
I love the concept of the release, it brings me excitment again (last time was for JAPONESQUE release i think)... The hype was well made with previews of one song each day.
W FACE -outside- : I love it as a whole. In fact i think all songs have good parts, some of them have some weird instrumental moments but i will be used to them. Glad to have urban songs for which i don't feel they're rejected demo of western artists, even if so, Kumi made them her style in much better way than her previous album.
My fav : W FACE, Bassline, Damn real, Bangerang, Insane, Heartless.
W FACE -inside- : I love most of the ballads. It's less impressive as a whole compared to outside but i like the complementarity of both albums.
My fav : Promise you (i'm so in love with it), On my way, 喜びのかけら, My fun (good surprise)
