I'm like 90% certain her fringe in those pictures from TGC is a hair piece.

The beach blonde hair and blue contacts don't look good on her imo. Looks very unnatural.

[ayu_ready?]

unbelievable, another single

[Earth_maiden]

Can barely hear anything, but it sounds nice. XD

[happiholic★]

Kana now has a "typical Kana song". That's what the new song sounds like, but its such bad quality, that I can't really pass true judgement.

[PoetGirl]

yeah... And I dont know does this works for or against her... its not exciting anymore.

[FIRSTKLAS]

As long as she keeps her album tracks and b-sides interesting, I can accept Kana putting out the same single over and over again. And you can't really blame her for that, either, since it's Japan and they love formulas and consistency. Once an artist finds a hit sound, they'll stick with it for years on end.

I would rather prefer her to be successful and take more risks with b-sides and album tracks and actually surprise us, than her taking risks with a-sides, flopping hard, and being dropped.
That said, SAKURA, I Love You? wasn't a classic Kana song IMO. Lyrics wise, musically wise and fashion wise.

[PoetGirl]

I agree with that.

My comment is based on my personal likings towards music.

True, she does take risks with her b-sides. And I agree about the formula. I guess she's just found the sound that makes the formula work. I like it and all, but when all you know of the single is the a-side and it sounds similar to past works, as some one who likes variety, its slightly underwhelming. I shouldn't judge, though.

That said, I loved Sakura, I Love You? I'm kinda over the boyfriend songs, but everything else about it was wonderful.

My Place live

[tenshi no hane]

^ Thanks for posting!

It's a nice song, not really special imo, but the lyrics are touching <3

[MissElin_]

^^Thx!

It's indeed a sweet song. Yet again from our sweet Nishino. What is this song for? New single? Does anyone know?

[Utena]

^ it was not announced yet, but it's probably for the upcoming single
Some rumors say that it'll be a double a-side this time!

[PoetGirl]

beautiful performance

[ayu_ready?]

is that some kind of "Japan memorial" song? showing Japan in the bg and titled "My Place"

[NintendoHTF1242]

The beat in the chorus reminds me of Dear... lol but I kind of like it, it's pleasant on the ears.

[happiholic★]

Since its a new song, she didn't really sound like she knew where the song was going. I'm looking forward to the studio version.

On another note, I can't seem to get My Baby out of my head.

[tenshi no hane]

I ripped the performance if anyone's interested: My Place (live).mp3

[Minttulatte]

^Thank you so much, tenshi! You're a lifesaver~ ^___^
