Nishino Kana (西野カナ) the 13th thread ~Love Story~

[Utena]

there's no March single but there's a single listed for a 2015.04.29 release

[Beauty4123]

I'm hoping Kana really will release a new single in April! I already can't wait to listen to some new music.

[Zeke.]

Bitch better deliver on that summer time b-side a la LOVE LIKE CRAZY.

[adantatu2]

I need a new upbeat single, I have enough with Suki and Darling.

[happiholic★]

Oh, it was her birthday

[Bigtop]

26th birthday...why did we forget that?!

[Earth_maiden]

I feel her last album just wasn't as amazing as her previous albums, so I'm not so much in Kana mood at the moment.

[happiholic★]

I finally listened to the album, and just ew. Her worst album by far. So bland I almost cried. Abracadabra was the best song by far and even it could have been better.

[Miichan]

I thought the album was quite good, it had a good vibe.
The singles for this album were really good, Tough Girl and Abracadabra didn't really fit in though.

Yeah this album is sick.

[thinkingoutloud89]

the album is actually quite okay and better than LOVE PLACE.
The problem is, that she did the same thing for the fifth time but everything on it has been done better by herself already. Altough Darling is still another remarkable song in her dico

I loved LOVE PLACE!

is this love? is fun. Day 7 is uplifting. SAKURA, I love you? is refreshing. FANTASY is better than Abracadabra. Honey is cute. kiss & hug is enjoyable at times (but never something I ever play deliberately). Happy Half Year is a fucking joy to listen and sing to. Even GO FOR IT! grew on me with time.

Not a fan of watashitachi, Be Strong, Love song, My Place, or even tatoe donna ni... But the songs I do love are enough to make the album a solid A.

[NintendoHTF1242]

I think most of us are just burnt out with Kana at the moment lol although she always does release an incredible ballad every era so I'm sticking around for that. Tatoe Donna ni... is still one of the best J-Pop songs ever tbh

[orbitalaspect]

Well, I think Kana honestly peaked at to LOVE. Thank you, LOVE, Love Place, and with LOVE all sound interchangeable. I honestly think Distance and if were great singles, but I think Esperanza was the start of a more boring trend. I'm not sure what she did differently starting there, but it just hasn't been amazing since then.

[Minttulatte]

I think her singles were amazing until SAKURA, I Love you? That was the last single I really and truly loved from her. After that all singles has been either hit or miss (mostly a miss). I also think Thank you, Love was her last good album. I really love it and to LOVE. Love Place was listenable (Be Strong is amazing as is Tatoe donna ni and SAKURA, I Love you?) but with LOVE was forgettable. I listened to it once and then forgot it existed.

But overall I still think she is awesome. It just looks like I have lost the mood for her songs. I hope it comes back soon tho. I miss those days when I did nothing but listened to queen Kana❤️

I agree, it's a fantastic song, the entire single was very good.

I don't know if it was already mentioned but Darling hit double platinum (500,000) digitally at the beginning of the year.

[lastminute]

i felt dissapointed with "with LOVE"... Love Place turned out to be my favorite album from her and then she released her worst work (imo). Kana, figure out your life choices lol

[adantatu2]

^Thanks, I'm glad she is still having big hits.

[mi|kshake]

I'm looking forward to finally buying my second Kana album but with Kumi's and Ayumi's new ones, I prob won't get round to buying a Kana CD until April pay day.
