[Kalen Anzai] ★♫ It's the 2000s again in Kalen's 1st thread ★♫

[Teppei-chan]

And now there will be a new version/remix of 誰かの来世の夢でもいい released next week (22.01). The remix will be produced by Carpainter.
Here's the cover

Spoiler:

I love this cover but it also reminds me of so many early 2000s Ayu styles so much
After this I Hope we'll get something new and not just a new version/ remix of one of her three singles. But I guess that we might also get one for her first single as well

[EndOfTheWorld]

kanariya tribute?
I look forward to the new remix. I would like to hear new songs from her though.

Can I still get Karen Anzai CDs at Tower Records?

Hard to say... Since they were free, I imagine they’d be there until the stock is gone. I don’t think there will be any displays of her, so you’d just need to look for her alphabetically. If you happen to be in Shibuya, I’d say it’d be your best bet. And it wouldn’t hurt to check.

[visionfactory]

OK thank you!

[Teppei-chan]

She will be releasing a new song called "Fake News Revolution" on april 1st

Spoiler:

Yay, I'm happy to hear that we will get a new song after all the remixes. They aren't Bad and I Like them but a new song was overdue imo

[Teppei-chan]

The new song and pv are out and If you ask me, she totally slays with this song. It's a real bop and mir gut become my new favourite from her

[hud]

really like the new single! I can bop to it

[orbitalaspect]

It's good. Love that it's a modern take on Ayu's poker face, but it's still clearly an AK PV. I'm so happy with her first singles. I would love avex to pull HAL or DAI or someone Ayu has worked with a lot to help her get the right balance of originality and similarity that she's been aiming to do from the beginning.

[Miku]

she's already up on spotify ^^

IT's not like ayu invented that TV in PV tingie tho.

Her cover of Come Again sounds really good. They did a good job recreating they video too! I actually think she looks more like Lisa than Ayu now lol. Chameleon Queen.

[Teppei-chan]

Just listened to her cover of come again and I really like her voice in this track. Wonder if ee might get a new song from her that gives in that direction in the future.
Still hoping for an Album Release this year

[Gustavopc]

I'm pretty sure she'll have an album this year, maybe after the dorama ends?

Anyway, I also loved her m-flo cover, sounded so fresh and polished

[Surreal17]

Ironically how her vocals sound way better on that cover than on her own songs. She fits really well the r&b production and vibe. I think that showing versatility is a good thing for her future as an artist, especially since people are probably comparing her to early ayu at the moment (i actually don t see that much of a resemblance).

[Gustavopc]

So far most of the resemblance is purely aesthetics to me, but I wonder how it'll be after the dorama. Seems like this avex revival album is focused on the 90s, so I wouldn't be surprised if we get a 2000s edition, with Kalen covering ayu on it.

[hud]

her cover of "come again" is really amazing! loving it ♥

[visionfactory]

Just came here to say the m-flo cover is really good! I don't know if there is a full lenght PV to be released or it's the short CM promo she posted on her IG only

Yeah she maybe is a bit more reminiscent of Kana Nishino, who at one point also drew comparisons to Ayu.

[mi|kshake]

^Yes, I was getting Kana vibes from Come Again too! Actually this song & the snippet of the PV seems more nostalgic to me than any of her own songs.
