Ai no Uta is like the ballad that never dies... How do you kill that which has no life...?

I don't care, I like Ai no Uta, and the remix sounds nice anyway. Still wish that Like it and House Party could be there tho.

I guess I can live with the Ai no Uta and Koi no Tsubomi remixes being there (despite those 2 already being remixed before in DH1) but Cutie Honey? For fuck sakes.

Actually I'm very impressed with DH7

The darker, lower tension type of feeling is really intriguing


I generally loathe Ai no Uta (like from the very beginning) but this remix sounds...likeable? Lol

It's unofficial.
The guy just knows what he is doing with processing I guess. He's really active in the Japanese Kuu group on fb

There wasn't anyhting cancelled. Last year the fans just speculated about a new DH cause of a FC post about an unknown shooting. That's all.

The three old songs on DH 7 are her three biggest hits ( they advertise this DH as a combi of her biggest hits and her latest sound).
And they're all remixed by the same guy.

I love how unexciting all of the previews sound.
Wicked Girls is my fave, it sounds amazing in the preview.

Btw. some more songs translations for W FACE are up now on Otenkiame blog:

He's currently updatin every day.

Here's BRIDGET SONG:

God knows I would have rather seen Like It, House Party, and even Bangerang on DH7 more than another fucking mix of Ai no Uta that no one asked for.
I just meant that it's natural they'd choose mid-tempos and ballads to remix instead of songs that are already upbeat bangers.

^no, thats not really true. A remix doesn't make a song upbeat per-se.

^90% of the songs in the DH series are/became upbeat. This new edition will feature more laid back remixes it seems (judging from the previews) but I don't really understand when you say "A remix doesn't make a song upbeat per-se." when we're talking about Driving Hits. I'm not talking about remixes in general

Just got the listen the DH7, and I love the aura in the songs, except for Ai no uta (it seems like you from DH2 will be the only ballad remix I'll ever like from hers)! I might end up enjoying Ultraviolet and Shhh! remixes much more than the originals lol

Honestly, the Ai no Uta preview sounds the best from those available for DH7. I'm not a huge fan of remixes that completely lose the original song's essence. Some remixes she's had done are like completely different songs and the vocal track is the only thing that remains from the original.

Listen to the original then. What's the sense in listening to a remix in which all it did is add a bell here and there? Lmao. For example, DH4 and Beach Mix really reinvented some of her worst tracks into not only something tolerable but something ENJOYABLE. And improved on others that were just barely tolerable to begin with. Remixes are a great opportunity to reimagine in the track because at the end of the day the original will always be there. And if you like the original then you end up as the winner. Because it's rare that the remix would go on to be performed in concerts let alone have the chance at becoming a staple in them.

Coming from the person that thinks the Urban Kiss remix of Ai No Uta is a 180º reinvention lol

"For example, DH4 and Beach Mix really reinvented some of her worst tracks" IN YOUR OPINION hun.

Imo, DH4 is one of the weakest DH ever, can't really relate with your comment.

And so far Kumi has performed a good amount of remixes in her tours

I posted this a few days ago:

I have two questions:

1. Does Driving Hit's 7 get any FC Bonus items when ordring through Koda Gumi?

2. I read on a Facebook fanpage that both Albums will be downloadable in High-Res. Music Quality on a Japanese site. Is this Quality way better the iTunes download/CD Rip and how do I get it?


ANYONE ?
