From the first listen. There are many things going on in this album. I feel like Kuu want to put different sounds into her songs. So some work and some are not.
The songs that stand out for me are SWEETEST TABOO (reminds me of Big Boys Cry by Namie a lot), GOT ME GOING' and OUTTA MY HEAD. Overall this album is very catchy. I sure I will love it after couple listen.

I'm listening now. I'll say it's not as bad as the previews suggested. The way she pronounces brain is hilarious. "Blain"

Isicio · #**483** 27th February 2018, 11:29 PM

The album is fire, if the second album will be like this wow.

Spotify, why are you not coming through

I wanna listen!!

The album is OK, I mean, I had high standards (because W FACE) but I think it's OK.
I enjoyed it. The only song that I dislike is OUTTA MY HEAD.

I really like the album. I felt it's been ages since I liked something Kumi did. But I still thing it's not only bad, it's garbage. And I hate that they used it as promo for this. There are better songs in it. Dang.

I don't know how to feel about the album right now. It feels like an album full of "HOTEL"s and "Insane"s, which I still dislike a lot. I wish the songs were more sang.

Some songs have potential, such as GOT ME GOING, but the song goes nowhere. I blame on how short it is.

Xianghua · #**488** 28th February 2018, 04:01 AM

I was expecting to hate BRAIN from the preview, but I actually like it in full quite a bit. ALL RIGHT remains my favorite from the album.

I like part of WHO, but the (brass instrument?) part ruins it. I'm noticing this trend in a lot of western music too and it's not my thing.

IT'S MY LIFE gets an honorable mention from me. It's refreshing from her.

I would like to ask: the Ototoy version-320k m4a format- is equivalent to a 320k mp3 CD rip? I don't know much about audio file extensions

Not so sure about that but I don't think m4a & mp3 are the same

I always convert the files to .mp3 because I don't have an iPhone and/or iPod

Anyway if you want , I can help you convert the AND songs to .mp3 / 320kpbs

Kuu has opened her own official Instagram account !

Her 1st video comment post - https://www.instagram.com/p/BfuWA_WlzJj/

omg I hope it's not temporary ♥

KarenPang · #**493** 28th February 2018, 05:06 AM

The staff's tweet & Instagram's description didn't mention if Kuu's new Instagram account is temporary or not

Hopefully it wouldn't be like what happened to her now defunt Ameblo blog :x

don't worry karen and thanks a lot for your help -3- I guess a real CD rip will pop up eventually on jpopsuki.

Finally an official instagram account for KUU yheeey !!! currently this is the most enjoyable social network to me so I'm happy I can follow my absolute favorite singer there. Let's tag her like no tomorrow and show her some love heheh

hud · #**495** 28th February 2018, 06:45 AM

^ regarding your question about m4a: it's basically becoming the "standard" nowadays as it's a format that can compress the same quality as the 320kbps MP3 in a slightly smaller size. so go for it! it's worth it.

Baco__ · #**496** 28th February 2018, 07:06 AM

Avex also opened an instagram for BoA, but it's called BoA JP though hahah and it looks like promotional for her last album, but no one said it's temporary yet haha

Thanks for the tip! I went to listen when I saw this.

I really like the album. WHO is my new everything, but all the new tracks are stellar, imo. Actually, only the new tracks are stellar. It could leave LIT and Never Enough for all I care. And possibly PARTY. Please explain to me why those were the leads???

ladyluthien · #**498** 28th February 2018, 08:02 AM

It's my life is probably my favorite track from the whole album.

My other fav song besides WHO. It kinda gives me Humble vibes lol. But, I love Kendrick so that’s a plus for me.

EDIT: can someone explain why Kenji is calling Kuu’s new album “qu ear” on his Instagram story? (Aparantly you can’t write the actual word of AHS)

KarenPang · #**500** 28th February 2018, 09:11 AM

Listening to the AND album tracks again , the album overall is very fun & upbeat

It's still a shame HUSH is not in AND :x

So the song that's played in the Instagram Snapchat clips in the 2nd part of PARTY PV is WHO x)

And yeah the way Kuu says Brain is o_O
