I got my copy of NEWS today and I'm in love with the packaging! I really like the box. It's not the conventional slipcase, which I think is pretty cool.

Took some photos:

Spoiler:

[KarenPang]

the box itself is very interesting , I thought it was going to be a typical slipcase but I'm surprised it's not

no wonder avex Taiwan took even more time than expected to make it but this kind of makes up for everything for you I suppose

I also received my CD only copy of NEWS today too , great stuff !

Details on Yamashita Tomohisa's new album 'A NUDE' + nationwide tour

Yamashita Tomohisa will be releasing his new album "A NUDE" on September 11. He'll also be holding a nationwide tour called 'TOMOHISA YAMASHITA LIVE TOUR 2013 -A NUDE-' from October to the end of the year.

"A NUDE" is Yamashita's first album since releasing "Ero" about a year and 2 months ago. A variety of artists will be involved with the album, including AI, corin., STY, Jeff Miyahara, ☆Taku Takahashi (m-flo), Nakajin (SEKAI NO OWARI), Passpied, Maeyamada Kenichi, MIYAVI, Mori Daisuke, MONKEY MAJIK, RYOJI (Ketsumeishi), Rake, and THE LOWBROWS.

The album's lead song "Genshiteki Janai to ~Analog Love~" is composed by Kubota Toshinobu, written by Wada Makoto (TRICERATOPS), and arranged by Osawa Shinichi. It will also contain "NEXTACTION feat. Fujigaya Taisuke (Kis-My-Ft2)" featuring Kis-My-Ft2's Fujigaya Taisuke and "PAri-PArA" written and composed by his unit with SMAP's Katori Shingo, The MONSTERS.

The theme of the album is "Autumn=Autumn's Nude". The "A" in the title stands for 3 things: A for Autumn, "ee" in Kansai dialect, and A for Analog. On the jacket cover, Yamashita lies atop fallen leaves, showing a different kind of "nude" from his single "SUMMER NUDE'13".

The album will be released in 3 different types: Limited Edition A, Limited Edition B, and Regular Edition.

Covers for A NUDE

CD RE



CD LE + Goods



CD + DVD



Ugh I'm so torn on which edition to get xD & based on what A NUDE has to offer (despite the unexpected quick announcement) , I think it's going to be more musically diverse than Ero ?

For Yamapi to get so many artistes to work on A NUDE , it's quite ridiculous , I mean MIYAVI of all people ? my god

Now I just hope Genshiteki Janai to ~Analog Love~ will have a great PV & that the song will be good too . If not , I will get the CD RE as I like that cover the most out of the 3

Pity SUMMER NUDE '13 and/or Nocturne are not included . Oh well at least I have an excuse to get the single together with A NUDE

[Beauty4123]

it's awesome that yamapi is releasing a new album!

the tracklist is great! and i like the covers, too. my favorite cover is the CD LE+Goods.

[Utena]

I think I'll order the regular, even though I prefer the 2 other covers

[KarenPang]

I'm honestly torn in deciding if I should order the CD RE or CD + DVD :x

I wait for a PV preview of Genshiteki Janai to ~Analog Love~ to be uploaded 1st then from then on , I decide which 1 I should get . I didn't like the Ero -2012 ver- PV so thankfully I made the right choice to get CD only for Ero

The see-through bag given for the CD LE feels so stupid to me

[KarenPang]

Short PV version of Genshiteki Janai to ~Analog Love~ will be aired next Mon

来週26日（月）7:30NEW CUTSは「原始的じゃナイト ～アナログ ラブ～（Short Ver.）」山下智久、「APPLAUSE」LADY GAGA、「OOH LA LA」BRITNEY SPEARS 他オンエア！

[Utena]

I didn't even notice Nocturne and SUMMER NUDE were not included ahah. Well good thing I bought the single then
I honestly don't think the DVD is worth the extra money.. I would rather get more songs.

They announced the album super late though, quite surprising

It's like Ero part 2 in that LOVE CHASE wasn't included but Ai Texas was

but yeah it's surprising he's releasing A NUDE so soon after SUMMER NUDE '13 but at least all the details were up very quickly . Makes sense too since he will be touring from Oct - Dec

I don't know , I'm still deciding which edition of A NUDE to get -_- if the PV preview for Genshiteki Janai to ~Analog Love~ is great , I will get CD + DVD since HMV Japan is giving discount for the CD + DVD edition

If it sucks , then CD only RE for me . It was the same thing for Domoto Koichi's Gravity . I originally wanted to get CD only for the album but after I saw just how awesome the PV preview for Danger Zone ～to the unknown world～ was , I went for CD + DVD B + I have no regrets getting it as the full PV was amazing

[KarenPang]

Mylene has uploaded the short PV version of Yamapi's Genshiteki Janai to ~Analog Love~

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ef71n8

Oh Yamapi is wearing the same outfit/s as what he wore in the A NUDE covers & ??? over the 2 strange looking girls oO

song preview wise , Genshiteki Janai to ~Analog Love~ is very different from what Yamapi used to do . I kinda feeling this & at least the PV preview has something going on , unlike SUMMER NUDE '13 which was a total waste of film

Ok looks like I'll be getting the CD + DVD of A NUDE then xD

YesAsia's description of A NUDE

A year and two months after Ero, Yamashita Tomohisa lets loose with A NUDE, his third solo album! This time, Yamapi is joined by an impressive group of collaborators, including Kubota Toshinobu, R&B artist AI, m-flo's Takahashi Toru, Miyavi, Kis-My-Ft2's Fujigaya Taisuke and even Yamapi's Monsters co-star Katori Shingo. Hear what these musicians bring to Yamapi's music in A NUDE!
