So who got Kahi's lines? Lizzy and Kaeun seem to have soaked up the raps, idk about the singing (I think Kaeun got the Diva bridge but Jungah also got a bit over all of them. I'm terrible at picking out singing voices though). Just In Time, Tell Me, and the Heaven remix will be on the physical release.

So there are no Kahi vocals? I may have to buy this album.

Heh. I don't have a problem with her vocals so much as the weird chipmunk rap style she thought it would be a good idea to adopt for AS's Japanese releases. It all but ruins Bang and Diva for me. Why Kahi why

This album ended up outselling Dress to Kill in its first week (I've been following the Oricon Daily and Weekly charts, they're like crack for a music/sales stats nerd like me). While I feel really happy that the girls got fairly decent sales, I'm still upset about DTK. It was SO GOOD. I've been driving around for the last couple of days with the CD in my car and I'm not getting tired of it.

dress to kill (the actual song) is the third most played song ever on my itunes. it is literal perfection and i'm so mad we didn't get a female-james-bond film noir music video for it.

Yes! Ugh, I plan out the DTK MV in my head all the time. I see they performed the song on the Dress to Shine tour - looking forward to seeing what I hope is a fierce performance and fantastic choreography when my Best album/concert DVD arrives* (I know it's on YouTube but I want to wait)!

The album itself is just so good though...I mean I'm not that keen on Spotlight and In The Moonlight (but they're still good enough that I wouldn't skip them) and the intro and outro don't add that much to it but that's still eight tracks that are criminally underrated and at least half of those are literally perfect songs.


*I bought all three versions because I'm an adult and can do whatever foolish things I want with my own money damn it. Thankfully they were a bit cheaper than J-Pop releases usually are. I may have ordered from three different places partly to get the best deal for each edition and to avoid going over the import tax threshold but partly to experience the excitement of a new AS CD three times. I regret nothing and may even buy the Mu-Mo version as well.
