@Kaled Indeed lmao Maybe it'll sound more a-side-ish in HQ? I dont really like how radio rips make songs flat...

btw is an UHQ cover of We'll Be Okay out already? Could someone share if it they find it? I need this as a wallpaper and gotta make some edits lol

It actually reminds me of western pop songs, Brit pop to be exact, not Kana Nishino or any J-Pop.
With English lyrics I could easily see this being played here on the radio.
It's definitely a grower, I really like it!

It only took me two plays to fall in love with We'll Be OK. It's a different type of summer song, fun & mature at the same time. It gives me both Come Over / Merry Go Round vibes (I'm still a bit salty that it was not performed live and seems to be completely forgotten already).

Same.

I don't understand the marketing strategy here tho, we have to have 20 days for it to be officially released digitally while the song is technically already out.

Did she compose the music too? Cause she's been writing lyrics herself for many years now to pretty much 90% of her songs.

the song is very refreshing and i'm happy she went that way. also if she did that outdoor cover because of fans requests i wouldn't be surprised if she's using those FC polls from 2020 for this years release …

don't get it either. it's very much like they did it in the old days with sending songs to radio weeks before the release.

I like the new song a lot, it puts me in a good mood. The trumpets addition is also nice.

Highest quality is the 1 that Kuu posted on her Instagram which's 1080 x 1080

https://instagram.fsin9-1.fna.fbcdn...._nc_sid=4f375e

Not going to listen to We'll Be OK yet x)

I learnt from experience that sometimes it's better not to listen to songs so early prior to the physical release

And I think due to that , I did not like re(CORD) as much as I wanted to except for Merry Go Round :@

Not that I know of but I could be wrong

^ Thanks Karen!

I do get what you mean about listening to a song earlier. This happened to me with ayu's LOVE again, Kuu's re(CORD) and also a bunch of albums which had many songs released earlier as promo singles or whatever, even with artists from the USA or Europe. The whole album feels disjointed at first when this happens, and it makes me not want to revisit it as I would.

I understand, the same happened with me back in the day with TRICK, with all the singles and radio leaks it only had like 2 or 3 new songs, and I was kinda over by the time the album was released.

Here it is the interview part, it doesn't includes the song for obvious reasons.

Although in a way it was quite nice because we were getting stuff constantly, keeping the hype ongoing. I'm kinda nostalgic, but at least Kumi is still releasing pretty often.

Today's Monitoring episode had a rebroadcast of Kumi's Ai no Uta performance she did before, nothing new as far as I know.

Love this cover so much. It reminds me of Koi no Tsubomi somehow. Maybe the picnic theme and her smiling, I guess.

You can see Kuu was on popular Monitoring again, she gained followers.

Her Japanese fans are calling the 3 singles/songs the be-trilogy already as it's part of all 3 titles.
The 3 is magic here - the announcement of 3 digital singles came 3 weeks before the release of the first single and they're released 3 weeks apart.
