LiDaYu · #**462** 27th February 2018, 03:38 PM

AND is not available on Recochoku , yet

hud · #**464** 27th February 2018, 04:12 PM

I need WHO in my life!

Corvina · #**465** 27th February 2018, 04:32 PM

Ok, first listen and I do agree, quite some surprises here!

PARTY is still nice to me and different for her even though nothing groundbreaking.
I sadly don't like the first part of SWEETEST TABOO, but the last third is a big surprise and a really nice one! Too bad the full song isn't more like that. And yeah, Kuu I wanna be called my boo by you.
GOT ME GOING' is a bit repetetive, but I like it. A lot going on in this song, but it's a smooth little thing.
WHO is such a smooth dance song. Really like it and I didn't like the preview too much.
OUTTA MY HEAD is another surprise, didn't expect that beginning. I'm in love with those melodic parts.
NEVER ENOUGH fits quite well here.
ALL RIGHT sticks more out than any other song on the album to me, cause its feeling is different, so rosy and feel good, compared to the other ones, haha.
LIT is just pure fun to me!
BRAIN somehow reminds me of LOL. No more thoughts right now, lol.
IT'S MY LIFE is astonishingly very modern and also doesn't go as I imagined. Another one I really like.

You guys can purchase it through Ototoy, it accepts PayPal and is bilingual:

OUTTA MY HEAD, SWEETEST TABOO, WHO & IT'S MY LIFE previews sound freaking amazing in HQ

I need my copy ASAP

And iTunes doesn't care about high or low caps.

I was gonna buy Hi-Res version there but only regular version is available so far. I hope Hi-Res version will be added later on.

Due to the high demand, they're producing more copies of the FC edition:

It's limited and the shoulder pouch isn't included anymore.

Not really that weird, most people and companies don't care about the caps thing like a lot of JPop fans seem to. It looks way better this way.

I'm interested in listening after work. Let's see if I like it better than the previews.

hud · #**471** 27th February 2018, 05:48 PM

WHO is fire omg
really liking the album so far

CeReSu · #**472** 27th February 2018, 05:51 PM

The album is quite surprising! I was not ready I think!

I'm sad that she didn't put Hush (instead of Never Enough, that's a pity this song breaks the dynamic of the entire album) it would be perfect.

I'm really in love with WHO, already my favorite. OUTTA MY HEAD is very great too.
IT'S MY LIFE is a great surprise, I didn't expect this kind of song, I love it!!

Sweetest Taboo is nice to hear, very entertaining as GOT ME GOING
LIT is still fun ♫ and BRAIN I don't know.... maybe Corvina is right, it is like a LOL track.

Overall, I'm very happy because the album is nice, fun and cool to listen to.

omg preach! HUSH is my favorite thing she released last year, sad it wasn't included there cuz it fits imo!

the album is super fun, I really really like it. WHO, OUTTA MY HEAD and ALL RIGHT are highlights. BRAIN is super nice too. thanks again, Corvina!

KarenPang · #**474** 27th February 2018, 06:10 PM

I downloaded AND but I wouldn't listen to it until later on cos I'm really mentally tired

Glad to see that so far people are enjoying the new material in the album . A big thanks to Corvina for purchasing , uploading and sharing AND with everyone it's very much appreciated !

Uknow! · #**475** 27th February 2018, 06:20 PM

Ok, when I listened the previews I thought "this is the worst koda kumi album ever!!". I didn't say anything because I wanted to listen the full album with quality and now my opinion have changed a lot.

In mi opinion all the songs have a lot of details and big changes that need to be analysed with the full version of the song. It's a good album and maybe quite original.

I felt disconnected from Koda Kumi during years but I think she is refining this new sound pretty well.

With more listenings AND will be better than W FACE outside for me.

OUTTA MY HEAD is the standout for me, like INSANE from W FACE.

Moreover, I can't stop thinking about Koda singing live these songs in the tour, it will be spectacullar.

junniorkopke · #**476** 27th February 2018, 06:47 PM

I'm really shocked with the album, I didn't expected anything from what I heard in the previews, but it's surprisingly GOOD, I'm completely in love. ♥

But still don't understand why they choose PARTY as lead single with such better choices. haha

attractive nausea · #**477** 27th February 2018, 07:02 PM

Previews didn't do the songs justice, i haven't listened to them all yet, just the ones i was expecting the most and it's really good!

Corvina · #**478** 27th February 2018, 07:13 PM

Ah, I'm waiting for the official lyrics to get posted (or for me getting a booklet into my hands). By listening it sounds like Kuu has some repeating lyrics in this album. Quick example - the boo in SWEETEST TABOO is also very shortly mentioned in BRAIN.
Nothing mindblowing probably, but I do love some small details like this or LIT ending with na na na's and BRAIN starting with them.
Plus BRAIN is completely in Japanese except the chorus line, that's not so common anymore with her and upbeat songs.

Japanese fans love LOADED and PARTY is pretty much LOADED part 2 + if the album's concept is Koda Kumi AND Fans Partying then PARTY is a logical choice for a lead song. Not to mention it's catchy AF.

^ and I bet it's going to be lit live!
