[miwa] The 5th Thread ~ The 5th Year ~ Road to 5th Anniversary

[Yoake]

The new single is out : http://aichun.co/?mp3=41743

miwa to release 4th album and ARENA TOUR in 2017.
News is already everywhere, but I just want to share this:

miwa will become a main actress in (yet) another movie! (+ new song)

It's probably something like 100 days relationship or whatever.
Honestly, her acting is good, as well as the song preview.

New album SPLASH☆WORLD to be released on February 22th next year.

[Yoake]

Not really liking the title. It's very idole-like. I hope it's not a hint about the style of the new tracks and her new direction. The promo pic is nice.

[Ryusei]

that promo pic is gorgeous!

[salina]

great promo pic

[adantatu2]

She looks beautiful and more mature.

[AyuGAME]

I'm not sure about the hairstyle and the styling...

New song preview from the movie clip.


Glad that she can act, and the song was... generic though.

[Kacku]

The album covers have been revealed.

Spoiler:

LE

I also found the tracklist for the album on the Sony music shop website, but it's not up anywhere else for some reason. Seems like this is the real deal though?

1. SPLASH
2. 結 -ゆい- (Yui)
3. Princess
4. 夜空。feat. ハジ→ (Yozora feat. Hazzie)
5. 君と100回目の恋 (Kimi to 100kaime no Koi)
6. アイオクリ (Ai Okuri)
7. シャンランラン (Shanranran)
8. ATTENTION
9. 変わらぬ想い with Scott ＆ Rivers (Kawaranu Omoi)
10. 泣恋 (don't know the reading for this one, sorry and please help?)
11. あなたがここにいて抱きしめることができるなら (Anata ga Koko ni Ite Dakishimeru Koto ga Dekiru nara)

[mellody]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING!
Scott & Rivers?

You know what? It was photographed by Leslie Kee

Track 9 is Kyuukoi or something I also can't get it.

[Yoake]

I like the LE cover. It's a bit psychedelic

[adantatu2]

R E cover is the best !!!
The other is meh.

[thinkingoutloud89]

LE owns every cover she had

[Kacku]

The album is out! I'm happy to say I really like most of the new songs. SPLASH is great, Ai Okuri and Kawaranu Omoi are really nice, and ATTENTION is interesting, I might come to like it even more in the future. Kimi to 100me no Koi puts me to sleep though. I've also come to like Shanranran somehow while listening to the album, no idea how that happened.

[Yoake]

SPLASH isn't good. It has some goods arrangements and melodies but they don't work well together. The transitions are quite bad. It's like a patchwork with colours that don't match well. Overall this album is full with generic ballads. That's not a bad thing because they aren't horrible but that's not what I want from this little woman that I started to listen to when her first single was out.
The only new songs I truly like are ATTENTION (It's not outstanding because of the chorus's melody but at this moment of her career this rock song is quite good), Kawaranu Omoi (I know it's quite generic but I like it. Especially when both voices are singing together) and Naki koi (the introduction and the verse are really catchy. I like how the arrangement are progressing during the song)
About the old songs, I only changed my mind about Anata ga Koko ni Ite Dakishimeru Koto ga Dekiru Nara. It's slighty better than what I thought when the single was out. It's a pity that it is too long.

Why hasn't this album appeared on JPopsuki? I see a SONGS episode on miwa, and SSTV music video compilations in conjunction with the new album release, so why isn't the actual album there on JPopsuki? Hmm... I'll just have to wait and be patient...any download links outside of JPS as of now though?

[Yoake]

^here. Jpopsuki is too slow nowadays with the release of the cds.
