GUESS WHO IS BACK does remind me of misono but all I think of is an amazing and strong kuu

Also, I just listened to that short version of GUESS WHO'S BACK and I really like it. I didn't expect to enjoy it so much after being disappointed with AND, but I'm glad I'll have something to look forward to once DNA is released.

Quick question: does anyone know if Black Cover is a popular anime? I've never heard of it but I'm curious now. It's cool to see Koda having another song as the theme of an anime (the last one was... Go to the top?)

Isn't this like your third account on here now?
Welcome back, I guess.

You totally clocked me. But, I'm not crazy for doing it, I swear. The first one was because I was going through a paranoid phase where I made new accounts for everything. This second time was because the heart that was in my name was created on a Samsung phone using an emoji and it's really hard to log in now that I have an iPhone and now use a laptop more. My password and username don't always save for some reason and I was about to toss my laptop in frustration, so I created a name that was easier to enter, no special characters.

And I thiiiiiiiink you can request a name change, but I always feel bad bugging mods in general, especially since I feel like there are fewer of them, but more drama on the forum

Don't judge me.



In other news, I'm really excited for the PVs of this album. Kuu is serving looks and I love them!!!

@wednesday: Not judging you, just noticed.

No, but she said the song with the big tie-in was it.
So it is Guess Who Is Back, unless the album will have another one.
Guess it was so hard, cause she had to match, what the animation studio, Studio Pierrot, wanted for the opening from her.

It is. The manga was the 14th best selling manga in Japan last year and the anime the 10th most streamed last season in Japan. It is also sold internationally to Crunchyroll and airs at the same day like in Japan.
It is much more popular than Total Eclipse, the anime Go to the top was for, for sure.

----------------------------------------------



Kuu finished recording DNA for good now - at least officially.
Cause she says here with her caption, that she's "almost, almost done".
She's probably going to work on this album till the release day.

Yaaa you can. Honestly, it's less effort to name change than to approve the moderated posts of a new user, but this account isn't moderated anymore so it's a moot point.

[Corvina]

Dangerous is the theme song for the Black Clover mobile game!



You can hear the song in the latter part of the CM.
Sounds like a more laid-back electronic dance song.

[kaled kalil]

Loooooving Dangerous so far! I'm happy that the tie-in for the App is also on DNA, I was afraid it was going to be the same situation for Gossip Candy x Hey Baby.

[Zeke.]

This is kinda embarrassing but I recorded myself dancing to "Get Up & Move!!" at the Koda Kumi dance night in Shinjuku ni-chome.

Get Up & Move!! is a top three track of mine, and I've long dreamt of getting the opportunity to really rock out to it.

Right before this they played D.D.D. and I recorded that as well, but someone is standing in front of the camera almost the entire time. I went all out for both tracks thought, that's why you can see me coming back to the camera at the end of this video exhausted and with a heavy body, lol.

[Teppei-chan]

That little snippet of Dangerous sounds so good, looking forward for the full song

And as for Guess who's back: the short version has parts that I Like but also some that I don't like that much. But I think that's it's going to be an okayish song for me

[Gustavopc]

Ohhh, Dangerous sounds soooo good and catchy, I'm getting so hyped for this album

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I wonder what was going through their minds when they choose HAIRCUT and WATCH OUT for the PVs. Not only do Guess Who is Back and Dangerous sound miles better than those two but they also have pretty decent tie-ins. Dont understand them at all.

[kaled kalil]

^ Because both of them are getting exposure without PVs? It doesn't matter if they try to push both tie-in songs, since they are getting out there anyway. It's very early anyway, we're not even close to one month until the release.

I love that you recorded yourself dancing go off sis

[ALfromHELLSING]

I can barely hear anything with that guy talking and the whole thing is like 6 seconds long. I can't make any judgment on this preview.

There's also Black Clover video game coming or in development, would have been awesome if she did a theme song for that one too but I guess it would be too much KK overdose for Black Clover fans.

What happened?

[Gustavopc]

^ Hey baby! was the opening song for Shin Chan and it the song started to be used during the promotions of Gossip Candy, but the song only was released half an year later as an album track on Dejavu
There's even this article, the pic was taken right after she performed some GC songs on a festival
http://www.tokyohive.com/article/201...yon-shin-chan/

And the video with the guy talking IS the game of Black Cover and that's Kuu's song at the end

[Corvina]

But Hey baby! was a digital single.
It's not like they didn't release it at all before dropping it on an album.

He means the PS4/PC game.

[Gustavopc]

Oh, I didnt recall that, not bad then

[kaled kalil]

I was afraid it was going to be an after-release kind of thing, glad it isn't the case.
