Woah!! He hadn’t released anything original since Monday Monday in 2018!! I’ve been waiting so long that I can’t believe it. I thought Kaya was going to announce a new live or a single, but this is much, much better… TvT

yeah, we need a superlike button xD Just in case, I pressed the like button hard

I’m not getting my hopes up, but cautiously looking forward to this! Now that I think about it, the last time I wholeheartedly enjoyed Kaya’s (non-cover and non-chanson related) solo work was uhhh… back in 2013. :grimacing:

The album will be crowdfunded and will feature 15 tracks total (8 new songs), plus a slew of artists participating as guest composers!

[guest composers]
Hora (Schwarz Stein)
Tsuki Amano
Fukusuke (Adapter, Metronome)
H∧L (Hitotonari, ex-Minus Jin-say Orchestra)
Soiree
Yoko Hamasaki (URBANGARDE)
Ken Morioka (Soft Ballet) *posthumous

[guest arrangers]
Kei Okubo (URBANGARDE, Ameyasame)
Jouji 2-gou (George 2nd) (hide and seek dorothy, ex-Inugami Circus Dan)
Tsunehito (D)
Yurasama (Psycho le Cemu)

For more details on the crowdfunding campaign and specific privileges for overseas fans, read on vkgy. I also want to point out that one of the (JP only?) privileges included is apparently a semi-nude photobook of Kaya for some reason :eyes:

…also don’t forget the late great Ken Morioka! (he’s been left off from the vkgy news article for some reason too, R.I.P.) :smiling_face_with_tear: Although his contribution is obviously in the form of an old single track, TABOO.

the queen teasing us with a musical video PRODUCTION :star_struck: :sob:

I’m a bit sad they picked tracks done by ppl who run his career now to make PVs for. I wish Hora’s song got a video made for it too.

14

I can’t wait for this. Hopefully we can take the second album of covers at some point :broken_heart:

15

Ohhhhhh this is INTERESTING. Love what I’m hearing so far even if it isn’t heavy-dance music, I am really excited to see the full videos too

16

Oh this is really nice, I already like the teaser, I’m so looking forward to the new album! :heart:

17

This sounds really promising. My excitement (already high) has increased even more!

18

the beauty. the budget.

His vocals are really good and not overdone (like I sometimes feel) in the previews and the music is not awful. But I kinda miss Kaya going hard (and or collabing with KALM) :confused:

First song sounds like a pop-rock half ballad which mostly lives on his voice (bit average composotion wise). Second song sounds like a crossover of Hydrangea and Come closer, which I both dig so yeah, that one does it more for me based on those previews.

I will definitely check this album out but I am just less enthusiastic about Kaya since basically the end of FF. Hope it will get me into his music once again.
