@ahtka-chan Considering that most of the time they actually "buy" the theme without knowing the song first, since they show the artist the concept of the dorama and the artist just create a song for them. But as for Kumi songs that are dorama themes, I feel like most of them fit pretty well, even KO-SO-KO-SO.

Love everything we got so far! I prefer the inside cover more than the outside one,but the tracklist for outside seems better to me, because the titles there sound interesting

Yes, Kuu wrote the song for the drama and she read the plot before. The drama is an adaption of a Scorsese movie.

Here are the full comments from Kuu and the director:

東海テレビ プロデューサー 遠山圭介コメント
倖田さんの「On my way」が放つ世界観は、その主人公の心の叫びを見事に表現していて、ドラマのイメージにぴったりな曲だと 思っています。息をもつかせぬ展開で、主人公の悪に翻弄されていくサスペンスドラマに、素敵なエッセンスを 加えていただけることを期待しています!

田中麗奈コメント
歌詞が大河内葉子の言葉のようでした。
歌詞を聴くと不思議と心がザワつきこの人の心は一体どこにあるんだろう?!と考えさせられまし た。
心理サスペンスにぴったりの怪しく色気のある倖田來未さんの歌声がきっとドラマを盛り上げてくれると思いま す!
もしくは、心理サスペンスにぴったりの怪しく色気ある曲調がきっとドラマを盛り上げてくれると 思います!

倖田來未コメント
実際に原作や脚本を読み込ませて頂いたうえでその世界観を表現できるようにしました。
人なら誰しもが持っている外側の自分と内側の自分の葛藤に近いものを、どう聴いている人に前向きに届けられ るかを本当に考え制作した楽曲です。歌詞が悲観的であるのでメロディや歌声・歌い方で希望を見いだせるよう に、そして光を差し込ませてあげるように作り、歌い上げました。それぞれの解釈や意味をもって聴いて頂けれ ば嬉しいです。


Sorry, I'm just too lazy to translate all of this right now. :p

omg two new albums

So 'W face' is pronounced as 'double face' right? That's very creative!


EDIT: The preview

They mention there will be intersections in the albums, as those two sides are overlapping. There isn't a Black and White.
And it's great, how you can apply it to the women's situation in Japan - the side, how women traditionally should be in the public eye and the side, they like to pretend doesn't exist to put it strongly.
Btw. On my way is dealing with the theme of inner conflicts, fitting to the main character in the drama.
Thanks for compiling the information! I think I'll wait for them to announce these goodies to decide where to preorder my copies. Hoping for a poster with the promo pic!

I just sum up now, what Kuu is saying about On my way.
Basically she says, that the whole song has a duality: The lyrics are pessimistic, but the melody and her way of singing is hopeful and uplifting.
Kuu wants to express, how everybody facing outer & inner conflicts can nevertheless look positively in the future when listening. She's happy, if everybody can bring their own interpretation and meaning into the song while listening though.

So it's meant to leave you in a positive mood as it's sounding happy (even though you're maybe not), which is probably the reason why it is on ~inside~.

Oh, and you're welcome guys!

Just saw while preordering my copies, that you'll get three FC goodies with each bundle. Each one has a different special goodie.
Corrected my inital post.
The price for the bundles is the same like buying the versions seperately, so the extra goodie is the only difference.

I only got to read about the album now. It's exciting that we're getting six videos! Titles are mostly awkward, as expected, and the covers are boring (they remind me of Winter diary a little bit), but maybe the pictures inside the booklet are interesting.

I keep waiting for a new koda kumi album to convert me into a big fan of hers and after hearing that preview, I don't think this album will be it. SO much cringe in less than a minute. But it is only one song after all.
I may like the ballad one more once I hear it.

after the album announcement i realized the 60th was probably meant to be for the next tour, cause she always hint something for the next tour when she ends with walk...
so probably her 60th/summer single this year and that's why we never got this 2016…

Corvina, are you sure the covers are the same for all versions? Or is it some kind of slipcase

I honestly don't even see what's so cheesy about the "yes, bitch, slay" part. At the very least, this isn't the first time Kuu has had some questionable Engrish in her lyrics. Bling Bling Bling, anyone?
