[2016.11.30] Kobushi Factory - Kobushi Sono Ichi

[Solarblade]

Announced today at the beginning of Kobushi's Fall Tour, Kobushi Sono Ichi (辛夷其ノ壱) is the group's first album!
 
They also performed a new song, Kenmei Blues (懸命ブルース)
 
 

[Meikochi]

I'm hyped !

[JPope]

Excellent.

[Madara]

Just what I've been waiting for.
 
But it's not listed on CDJapan yet.
 
They do have a concert DVD listed, coming out on October 19. It was taped on April 30 and was originally a Fan Club release.
 
 
 

[DonJuan]

Nice. I'm surprised to see a Kobushi album before a CG one, though (or was the rumor of CG getting one solved?).


On the one hand I hope for original songs of course, but I'd love to see some covers, too.

[MejraThea]

I hope they put an official cover of This is Unmei on this! Other than that, woo.

[Solarblade]

I just hope for Survivor and TEKI making the cut...but I guess we'll have a month before we get some kind of tracklisting

[TicTacAnyone]

YAAAAAAAAAAASSSSS omg U!P, double album me and make my life. Give me CG and Kobushi albums and that's all I need. Hell, throw in an ANGERME one just for good measure ;)

[Revangelis]

Yeeeeeesssss, finally! I've been waiting for this

Have they ever covered this in concert??? Kind of interested if it's similar to the original with all the background conversation
(Not to mention 2 MKB songs!!!)

[TicTacAnyone]

I wanna hear them goof around on their recording of Da Di Do, just like the original.
 
PS--Not a crazy amount of new songs, but I'm still totally buying this album.

I hate the verses, the pace is awkward and they're singing so low it sounds unnatural. The chorus is fire though.

[JPope]

The verses feel awkward being performed by an idol group, but that's not because they're bad. They'd sound great played by a good rock band, although the chorus would sound awkward then, lol! Overall, I'm a fan of this, though. I'd love to see Kobushi perform this with a live band and all of the energy that surrounds a live rock show.

[TicTacAnyone]

Damn, Kobushi got their straight up alternative rock on. That itself is fire af.

[MejraThea]

Is anyone buying a physical copy of this?

This album rocks!!! 

[JPope]

Ah ha ha! Smells like Nirvana spirit. What a world...

Yeah, thanks for the reminder to make my order.

[MejraThea]

Haha you're welcome!

[Revangelis]

The covers are out
 

Regular
 

Limited A
 

Limited B

[DonJuan]

What, covers with a concept?


I like them.

[momoirosaya]

As a person who was in the Kyudo club in high school, I approve!

[TicTacAnyone]

Simple but they stand out. I really like it. Now to chose which of the limited....

[MejraThea]

I love Kenmei Blues and I love Isogaba Maware this album is on fire with the new songs.

[PyoKiyo]

^Couldn't agree more. 

[Anderei]

It's a shame so much of it is singles + covers. Covers are never worth the price of an album and I'm not terribly fond of about half the non-new material on the album.

I'm excited... I ordered the CD with the cover album as well. Can't wait to hear what songs!
