Single [SINGLE] French Kiss - [If] - 2011/01/19

I think this is my 2nd most awaited single after Chance no Junban. Just the fact that it's related to my 2nd favorite shoujo manga of all time makes it enough for me to be interested. I really don't pay a lot of attention to sub groups at all but when stuff like Kisu no Ryuusei and Zutto Mae Kara come up, I just can't miss it. I (Accidentally without even knowing that a mini drama existed for their 1st single) happen to also really like their mini-drama, and even though I was hoping the 2nd single will relate to the 1st story, it's not so bad for something new.
The title feels catchy as well, although the covers are just as plain as the last ones were.

 

There are no covers yet. That's the artist picture.

 

woot, more French Kiss is always a good thing in my book! Jan can't come any faster [party]

 

Thank Goodness it's the 19 and not much sooner. I am not purchasing anything until the new year and I reeeeeeeeally want this *A*

EDIT: Watched the preview and OMG
I like this MochiYuki that is going on and Mocchi's glasses
Akicha doing archery for the win.

 

Wow...
after Chance No Junban...there goes If

Need to buckle up my saving for this single.

 

^ and no3b in between.
Im ordering waaaaay in advance for these (CnJ/no3b) so that I can spread this out some. no3b is gonna really hurt though..

IF - Will def be a pre-order purchase. Gotta gotta have it.

 

^ i can feel ur pain, i bought Haruna's solo ver of no3b album [sweat] ordered the album along with CnJ

i'm still not sure if i want to order If with Watarirouka's new single [speechless]

 

I preordered all version from cdjapan

Akicha doing archery , I'm so excited

 

Really cool concept and the story is typical shojo stuff but still sounds interesting. Listening to their first single right now and it's pretty nice. (yeah, I'm playing catch up with these subunits lol) Gotta hear "If" first to decide if I'll make it a purchase or not.

 

I'm from chile can pre-order?
because it is far away [think]

 

as long as stores like CDJapan, HMV, YesAsia, etc ship to your country you shouldn't have an issue

 

You should PM user Gobolino. I'm sure he knows the ins-and-outs of ordering to South America.

 

↑ Unfortunately no because I'm poor enough to not have any mean to pay, so I couldn't buy.

He should get in contact with Ange as soon as posible for that matter.

 

I'm from Colombia, and I always order from CDJapan, with no problems. Well, I suggest you try to use registered air mail, since the cheapest ways of shipping take SUPER LONG to get here.

In my country, they don't charge customs fees, but I wouldn't know if it's the same way in Chile. All in all, you are able to preorder anything you want just fine, like anyone else in every other part of the world

 

thanks

Ohh preview =D ... Well it fits the genre of the anime.. I kinda like what I heard so far.. =)

 

I'll wait for the PV but so far it sounds nice

I'm kind of disappointed with Kuchiutsushi no Chocolate being there, I wanted more B3 songs

 

lol ugly cheap covers again? XD oh avex.

looks like i just wont never really like french kiss. i have the same problems as with zutto mae kara: i dont like the blend of their voices, i dont like akicha's voice and their music inst even that appealing to me =/

i like eurobeatish ballads like this one but i dunno. it feels cheaply produced

 

em... .... not bad but a little generic... [think]

Need a longer version. Now the cover... ... . the SAME concept again? [think] [think] disappointing
