Nishino Kana (西野カナ) the 11th thread ~ Love Place ~

[Eewyi]

Like Drdolce I absolutely adore this album~ I think it's her best album to date, and also first album from Kana, in which I like all the songs in the album. Even the intro and outro. Just lovely <3

So I'll be strong
I'm gonna be strong

English:
I don't wanna cry anymore (forever),
I have to start walking again,
I won’t stop anymore,
So I decided not to look back again,
wanna change my life, change my life
I’m sure tomorrow will be different (something will change).


So I'll become stronger
So I’m sure I can walk again, even if I'm alone, or even lose my way,
I will move forward as a new person,

I wanna be strong
I'm gonna be strong


I thought I wouldn't make any mistakes,
I was busy from one thing to the next
It’s like no matter what I do,
I can’t look for you,
Redialing your number,
I even erased all your photos


Passing through the town, all the couples look so happy with their laughter
Suddenly I recall your smiling face
Though I cannot bear to look at you


So I'll become stronger
So I’m sure I can walk again, even if I'm alone, or even lose my way,
I will move forward as a new person,


I want to fulfill what I set out to do
Because there is much more to me,
Because friends are also important to me
So I’ll be strong


Wearing new clothes,
Putting on make up or even perfume,
It’s like it makes me feel more confident
Even if only a little,

I’ve heard the rumors of your new girl,
That she is cute and fashionable,
And is a good match for you, right?
Please tell me what to do,
I cannot bear to look at you now


So I'll become stronger
So I’m sure I can walk again, even if I'm alone, or even lose my way,
I will move forward as a new person,

So these tears and even sadness,
Even all of these memories, they won’t be in vain
I’m sure they will lead to the future
Even if I can’t see it now,
I’ll believe


I don't wanna cry anymore (forever),
I have to start walking again,
I won’t stop anymore,
So I decided not to look back again,
wanna change my life, change my life
I’m sure tomorrow will be different (something will change).


So Ill become stronger
So I’m sure I can walk again, even if I'm alone, or even lose my way,
I will move forward as a new person,


I want to fulfill what I set out to do
Because there is much more to me,
Because friends are also important to me
So I’ll be strong
I’m gonna be strong

Oh, awesome, thank you. Now I really love this song even more than I already did. <3

Love Place charts at #2 today behind Kobukuro..

[Minttulatte]

She's up against Kobukuro? I wonder if Kana's able to get #1 this time. ._.

Last night I began to think that since Kana has released 4 studio albums and 18 singles, there might be a best of album coming next.

I think so, too =)

I think it's time for her to release a best album with a hit single right before and then start new refreshing music.

They sold about 3x what she did on the first day, and theirs is a best album. She definitely won't be getting number one this time :|

Kobukuro's album is a best collection, didn't expect Love Place to do any better than them lol.. And she's far far from them anyways, doubt she'll be able to grab the #1 spot this time around :/

Too bad coz the album is quite good!

[Minttulatte]

I've never understood the popularity of Kobukuro tbh, but Japan seems to love them quite a lot. o.O

[mizuki-7]

If she release a Best album next year I expect a big succes ! maybe her first million album ? I don't know how to consider her popularity currently but I think she is able to achieve this performance!

[TeamAyu2004]

I dont know about the best.. her sales keep falling... so who knows.
too bad she got a number 2 today...

and no problem about the lyrics!
Ill see if I can find anymore!

[matt9210]

I expected double what the album actually sold on the first day All her singles have been so successful in the digital charts this year.

[mizuki-7]

All her singles have been so successful in the digital charts this year.

Not so much ... Even she is one of the best digital artist she is not able to get a certification over 500 K since 2010 last year her best digital single was Distance with "only" 250 K and this year she has only one single certified (I believe) Sakura I love you with 100 K

Btw Be strong is her first song since long time to not top digital chart ...

I apologize in advance if i've say a folly about the certification

[NintendoHTF1242]

Still the queen of Japan in my mind so idc, go eat 'em up gurl.

Thanks for the info I thought they sold more because Watashitachi and Sakura I I Love You were #3 and #4 in the half year full download rankings.

Watashitachi was certified Gold in June ^_^

[inspire_rmx]

^ it is great, I don't want her to drop

[Earth_maiden]

omg, that Chinese rap. I forgot it was there and had the music up loud, then it was just THERE for a second I thought there was someone in my room with me, even though I don't know anyone that speaks Chinese.

[Minttulatte]

Love Place is doing well on charts, just as I thought it would be. <3

I'm also very obsessed with SUMMER TIME now. I totally forgot to overplay this song when the single came out (=was too obsessed with Kuu) so I'm doing it now since I'm so obsessed with Kana after all. Awesome song indeed. <3
