Wait when she says new album does she mean the cover album? I can't imagine her releasing a cover album in Feb and then a studio album in March.

[maze]

yes of course she meant the cover album, I don't think she'd be crazy to release a studio album 1 or 2 months after .__.

makes sense as it seems this cover album is going to get the same treatment of a studio album, with PVs, big tour, promo etc. it was not the case for ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~

That would be amazing.

[ayu_ready?]

is it true that many people compare Koishikute to Ai no Uta?

Then the 5th song and PVs are bonus tracks for the first press Now, seriously I guess 5 songs is a plausible idea, but 5 PVs... She didn't have 4 PVs even for her 10th anniversary sumer single

Well, pretty cool she's gonna promote the cover album like an original one BUT JAPONESQUE DESERVES A WHOLE TOUR As if feel my mind not having its own concert/tour was not enough, now JAPONESQUE also wont? ):

[Minttulatte]

I hope she will sing more than 4 songs from JAPONESQUE on the tour then. It would be very saddening if the tour is called JAPONESQUE and she sings like 3-4 songs of those epic 17 songs on the album so I hope she would use the songs at least in medleys if nothing else. I'm pretty sure that Poppin' love cocktail will be one of those songs on the tour. I just hope she'd use So Nice as the opening track. That would be epic. I also hope that ESCALATE and Lay Down will get a performance because those songs would be perfect for a live tour imo. *_*

2nd cover album infos (source: baidu)

Release date: 13/02/27
CD+DVD 4,980
CD+DVD 3,990
CD 2,625

I don't like the idea of an arena tour based on a cover album...

[Gustavopc]

^ You mean CD+2DVD on the first one, right?

My wallet is already crying poor baby

[chocopockymaster]

When I went to the first Budokan show, she specifically said the tour would be based on JAPONESQUE...sorry, maze, I'm not inclined to believe the friend of the friend you heard it from. Maybe something got lost in translation. ?__?

[Lee^ChaN]

^ *nod*
she clearly said that.. JAPONESQUE..

[maze]

^ ^^ ah okay so the friend of my friend was not right XD. idk really, I also hope it's mostly JAPONESQUE since it's one of my favorite albums and the concept is just epic, but I wonder why she hasn't announced it like such (Koda Kumi Live Tour 2013 ~JAPONESQUE~)

hiper excited for the cover album, 3 editions!! 6:

It seems the album will have 5 PVs! It's good to see Akina Nakamori again, I love Shoujo A.
And none of those songs are ballads btw.

The original songs:
Momoe Yamaguchi - Playback Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUeBkl687lQ
Shizuka Kudo - MUGO N iroppoi - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AON-A0C4Xag

^Awesome! Glad to see it's turning out to be more of a dance cover album It would be cool if it had one or two really good ballads on it, though!

And yeah, to me, JAPONESQUE tour makes more sense. Usually she releases an album and does the tour straight after to promote it, like a set, but she couldn't with JAPONESQUE, so she would want to do the JAPONESQUE tour before releasing another album to do another tour with, but of course she would want to release something in the mean-time, too, so a cover album is a perfect choice while she catches up with the JAPONESQUE tour people have been waiting for!

My two cents, anyway

[Dream]

Well, it's JAPONESQUE tour but this doesn't stop her to include covers of the new album and I actually think it'll be awesome. She can promote both at the same time, but japonesque seems more logical as the central theme of the concert.

True because japanesque was such an awesome album

[Gustavopc]

OH MY GOD ANOTHER AKINA COVER AND NOW SHOUJO A THAT WILL FIT KUU SO WELL OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG IM FANGIRLING SO HARD HERE PELASE HELP ME

And yeah probably this wll be a JAPONESQUE tour + half of the cover album. Dejavu tour was also like this, there were many songs from ETERNITY on the setlist.

[setsuka]

I am so excited too but didn't everyone hate her Tattoo cover, so many dislikes on youtube lol and my friend always brings it up when I talk about Kuu <__<

anyway I loved it so I am happy she is covering her again and wonder what the box version will be like @__@

[Gustavopc]

^ I myself LOVE TATTOO, not only cuz it was amazing but also it made me discover Akina <3

[kaled kalil]

I love TATTOO too, I think people dislike 'cause the instrumental is totally different and they expected that edgy thing that Akina's version has, but it still a great cover imo.
