Oh so this would be her first original album then? Cause I don't really consider the cover-album to be a "real" album lol

Sad there's no new original song But, hey, she looked so gorgeous there! Simple but nice, looked more matured now.
Honestly everything from the tracklist to the DVD-contents is a little disappointing...feels more like a Best-of album than an original (with cover songs added in). But of course I'll still buy it cause I do adore her lol. And I LOVE the limited edition cover; she looks absolutely stunning.
Actually, I failed to mention this in my other posts about the album. But from the beginning we knew that the first five tracks would be her first five singles, and the remaining tracks would be "new" cover songs. Many fans also speculated that the songs she was singing at her monthly "Challenge Campaign" in Chiba would be on the album. Which turned out to be true for the most part. She has been singing Itako-Hanayome-san, Tokyo no Bus Girl, Ringo no Uta and Gakusei Jidai quite often at her mini-lives lately. As for the acoustic cover, it should be noted that it will probably feature Wasamin on guitar as well as singing. She performed this song on guitar during her first concert. Lately she has been performing semi-regularly on guitar, including a special live last month and her fan club event last weekend. I would have loved to see a "new" track for the acoustic song as opposed to Nada Sousou, which is from her Request Covers CD. In fact, one song she has performed a lot lately on guitar is 365 Nichi no Kami Hikouki. I would have been really excited if that was Track #12. There are a couple other songs that I would have liked to be on this CD, but I am excited about the songs that did make the cut. EDIT: Wasamin confirmed that she does indeed play the guitar on track #12
Thanks for the info~~ Well, it's good to know stuff like this cause it does change my opinion of the album then. Kind of excited to hear track #12 now
A collection of articles about Wasamin's album release event last night. There were quite a few members of the press on hand, and they took quite a while doing interviews and taking photos after her performance. http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2016/12/01/kiji/K20161201013825700.html http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/1745631.html http://www.news24.jp/articles/2016/11/30/08347902.html http://japan-culture-labo.com/4952 http://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/entame/entertainment/623583/ http://www.hochi.co.jp/entertainment/20161130-OHT1T50182.html http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20161130/geo16113019290034-n1.html https://www.daily.co.jp/gossip/2016/11/30/0009712480.shtml http://www.excite.co.jp/News/entertainment_g/20161130/TokyoSports_623583.html Interestingly, the articles seem to focus on her upcoming single, Saba Kaido, even more than they talk about the album. Other topics discussed included Wasamin's career post-AKB Graduation, her upcoming appearance in France next year which was announced at the event, as well as discussions regarding possible future appearances at NHK's Kouhaku Uta Gassen. Anyway, it is always fun to watch Wasamin being fawned over by the press. You can tell she really enjoys the moment. (We were all standing in queue waiting for the Shamekai portion of the event to start)
No, but the topic of her becoming one of the enka singers invited to Kouhaku has been going on for a little while now. Hopefully that will become a reality in a couple years or so.
