The Official Kou Shibasaki Thread

[Yoake]

I posted the new single in the download section.

Love Searchlight is not bad but I think that sometime the sound is too clogged up. The pv is fun with the light effects.

Chikai is good pop song b-side though she has better song.

[Utena]

Love Searchlight is ok, not really anything special but it's nice.
Chikai is really nice, I like it a lot.
Feels soooo nice to hear her voice after such a long wait!

[AyuWorld]

I just watched Orange days! i know Im late but oh gosh I love Kou more and more! talented actress and had a nice voice <3

Anyway can anyone help me, what is the title of this song?? its so beautiful and shes so lovely here !

[Ashen Twilight]

^ That is just my favorite song from Kou!! It is Ukigumo which can be found on her first album, Mitsu.

[AyuWorld]

^
Thank you! found it now <3 yea I hope I can watch her live tour 2011 too but couldnt find it >.<

and oh I love Katachi Aru Mono too,one of her best ballad. Her latest album is very entertaining like Strength is a cute song ^^

[Ashen Twilight]

Since you are new to her, I'd recommend her first album and Love Paranoia. IMO her second and third albums are a little redundant. CIRCLE CYCLE is my favorite album from her, but it is quite different from everything else. I haven't really sat down long enough to appreciate Lyrical Wonder, but I will in time haha.

ooooh I love Aoi Hoshi! The covers are great and the PV is beautiful imo.

Shibasaki Kou's new song to be produced by Sheena Ringo
September 22, 2015 @ 2:08 am

Shibasaki Kou's new single "Yasei no Doumei" will be released on November 25.

"Yasei no Doumei" is written, composed, arranged and produced by Sheena Ringo. It will be used as the theme song for the new series of TV Asahi's drama "Kasouken no Onna" (starts October 15). Back when Sheena was in charge of the theme song for Shibasaki's starring drama "Marumaru Tsuma", the two expressed their wishes of working together on a song someday, and it was materialized this time.

After working on this song with Sheena, Shibasaki commented, "I may be greedy for saying this, but I want to continue drowning in her worldview over and over again."
