I love the cover! She's so cute and the colors are so fun and bubbly. I'm pretty excited for this release. Smile

I just realized the PV is out too

I'm not weighting in on this song just yet because I'm currently craving up-tempo songs and this definitely is not one.

oh, so Okurisobireta Kotoba is a rearranged Japanese version of Saranghada (사랑하다)? though it's definitely a great song (probably my favourite on that album Smile), it still feels kinda like a pity. a bit.
interesting that she releases it in Korea when it's in Japanese, but i guess it's understandable since her popularity there has grown a lot the latest couple of years. i was about to say that i don't think it'll fare as well there compared to her other singles since it's in Japanese... then i realized she hasn't released any Korean single since Audition (Time2Rock), lol.
all in all i'm looking forward to this, mostly because it's great to see her back in Japan, 'cause to be honest, the song didn't blow me away either... but it's still good. Smile

but lol, the cover... i don't like. a bike with wings? wth?

^ Haha yea I wondered about that too. Maybe the person behind the design was high on something or trippin' during the process ... I'm not sure if it has any symbolic meaning or if it's just random. I'm thinking the latter ...

I've been listening to Girl for a good chunk of the night now, trying to see if it'll grow on me. It hasn't. Right now I look forward to the B-side more in regards to this release.

I still want to release an English album though from the looks of it, she wants to focus on her Japanese music for the time being. But she may be encourage to do an English album ... BoA did one, I know Wonder Girls is looking to get into the American market (doing the Jonas concerts is definitely getting their names out there), so I wonder if Younha will jump on the bandwagon ...

Based on the description, it would make sense if it was 사랑하다. I like that track on the album too. Though I think I like Luv U Luv U Luv U ... despite the fact that it totally sounds like Lady Ga Ga's Pokerface

I have the most random question. Has Younha ever released 그 거리.. ? I stumbled across this song on YouTube eons ago (more than year for sure) but I could never figure out if it was on a previous album.

^ it's getting released in both countries, but it's going to be in Japanese in both too. if you're getting it, i suggest the Korean version since it's most probably going to be cheaper.

an english album would definitely be cool. Smile i love when she sings in english. Love just hope she wouldn't go and do the "proper" adjustments to her music for it to fit the US market in that case, 'cause it would probably be changes for the worse... maybe. lol, i don't know, i just keep thinking about Utada's TITO's inability to grow on me...

"more than year for sure"? hehehe, probably not. Tongue
그 거리.. is one of my absolute favourite Younha songs. Love ok, let me give you the details:
it's track 4 on the single/mini album "Stage #1 - TOP" that was released 2008.08.05 and it contains (i think) original songs from 4 different artists.

Tracklist:
01 가시 물고기 - M.C the Max
02 오늘이 지나면 - Lee Ki Chan
03 사랑 참.. - Wax
04 그 거리.. - Younha
you can get it here. and i think it's, rather than random, a very good question. Smile

LOL my bad, I knew I heard it during the summer. I was thinking it was the beginning of the summer for some reason. I guess I did hear it at the end of August or early September. I have no sense of time anymore. It seems like an absurdly long time since last summer because of all the things that happened (no so much me but to the people around me which in turn has affected me)

wow. seriously. what a way to screw up a great ballad. Shocked wth is up with the beat in Okurisobireta Kotoba? i was hoping for a nice rearrangement of the song, make it a bit more upbeat, but i didn't think it'd change this much. i don't fancy the too straight piano either.
i guess it's going to grow on me once i'm a bit more used to this version.... but this is how i'm feeling atm. and her singing is definitely better in this song than in Girl, so that's good.

also, on Oricon it debuted... somewhere below top 30. i'm not too surprised. all in all this single kinda felt like a disappointment to me. i hope we'll hear about Part B of her 3rd korean album soon...

Laughing That's exactly what I thought too. Still, whenever I have my ipod on shuffle it takes me a few moments to discern which of them is starting Tongue

@ about an English album
Yeah, an English album would definitely be awesome. Smile Younha's is my favorite voice so if she released an album in my language that would be totally amazing.

Yeah, same here hmm But I loved Exodus so... Tongue Yeah, if Younha does release an English language album, let's hope that the language is the only part Americanized in it...

@ the new single
You know, it seems like the songs she released in Korea were just really good quality, which is one reason why she succeeded so much there. Whenever she releases one in Japanese lately...they just I don't know...they don't seem as good for some reason. Confused Generally, I prefer Japanese over Korean just because I like the sound of it better and stuff, but lately I've been listening more to her Korean releases simply because they're more catchy Sneeze (Except for like Houkiboshi and all those which I'll probably always love Tongue )

oops I must have only posted on the release thread but I think I did mention a while back that Younha is coming out with another Japanese single. I think a part b Korean album is in the works to be release some time early next year or end of this year (I forgot the tentative schedule)

anywyays, here's some info on the upcoming Japanese single
