If you compile me a b-side collection for me to download I'll love you forever! I've heard all the b-sides from before Distance, I think. Grab Bag is one of my favorites. Ultimate guilty pleasure.

That alternative cover is so nice! So much better than the other, honestly.

I also saw the preview of Love Collection Tour -Pink & Mint-, and it seemed lovely! Especially Sayonara performance! <3

[happiholic★]

I'm obsessed with Lights, Camera, Action. That song is my jam right now. That song for sure lights my fire~

[Earth_maiden]

^I love HAPPY HAPPY of the new songs. I'm sure we've already done this before, but let's list our top 5 favourite Kana b-sides!

- Brand new me

I really love Kana's poppy, fast tempo songs.

to LOVE, definitely! Then, if you want to venture further

Thank you, Love -> Love Place -> LOVE one.

I secretly love all her albums the same but it definitely takes more time to digest her debut.

[khan5]

thx, ill try listening to that album first

I think that's true if you get into Kana after to LOVE. As someone who got into Kana with her debut single its honestly harder for me to figure out why she decided to go for a more R&B sound. Not that I'm complaining because I LOVE it, but I've seen a few since debut fans wish she would go back to her I sound. Though, I guess its a little silly, because she switched to R&B like, four singles in.

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

I actually think she's coming back to her pop roots again now. Like her R&B phase was always somewhat "poppy" itself so Kana never really ditched it but with songs like Believe, Go For It!!, Talk To Me (to name a few; Love Place itself was pretty much standard J-Popness), to me, are hallmarks of her heading back to square one. I don't have a preferred genre style when it comes to Kana. As longs she keeps releasing good tunes, I'm down.

I think you're the only person, on any thread, that likes GRAB BAG!! That's my second b-side. Kana's best b-side is Call Me Up

[Minttulatte]

I got into Kana during her Thank you, Love era (around Distance) but I still think that to LOVE will always remain as my #1 album because it has so many songs that are my jams. i also love Thank you, Love because it also has those kind of songs.

And I'm not even going to try to choose a top 5 of her b-sides because she has so many good songs on singles. It would be pain in the ass for me to try such a thing. :p

I beg your pardon, here I am too! I LOVE TO DEATH GRAB BAG! lol

I love all of Kana's albums, they're all different and special in their own way!
I can understand when people tell me that she always sounds the same, but at the same time.. I can't, lol. Kana has this way of doing slightly new and experimental stuff, staying completely true to her established sound and style!

Sorry, boo. But YAY!! Soo happy to see quite a few of people on here likes GRAB BAG

I think, to LOVE as a whole is flawless, the single and album tracks. Thank you, Love have the best song (and b-sides). Love Place has decent singles and album tracks.

[Zeke.]

Grab Bag is gross but not as gross as sweet sweet.

Secret
Just the way you are
LOVE LIKE CRAZY
Happy Half Year
My Baby
ONE WAY LOVE

I had to list six cause those are almost all on the same level of enjoyment for me
