I know, this is not something new, but I wanted it to be added to the calendar, so I had to create a topic :blush:

It will be released on June 7.

Credits to I don't remember who :oops:

Why did they disband? Now her single looks just like another generic Avex female artist single.

Oh well, Ill wait to hear it before I come to a real conclusion about her status as an artist. :?

Jacket B is fetching indeed

Jacket A is mildly unfortunate

But when we see them full size who knows?

pre-ordered CD+DVD version time ago! :foxtt:

Does she look pregnant to anyone else in jacket A?

she does a bit i have to admit that. but oh well, she's smiling so widely! that makes up for anything else. 8)

I think it's just the dress.

Although when I saw it at first, I also thought, "Hey, is she pregnant?!" :shock: :rolling:

CD version


CD+DVD version

:foxtt: The covers look nicer now...thanks!

That one, kinda scares me a bit... >.<
But still! Ban-chan!!! woo~

Thanks ANNA!!! ^___^

PRETTY COVERS!! THANK YOU!!!!

Okay, I can' t hide anymore...it' s my fault.



:rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

I like both covers and the song Flower ^^ I' m looking forward to listen to the full version of Brave, the preview sounds wonderful to me!

MY FLOWER CD HAS BEEN SHIPPED!!!! :foxhb:

I listened to Flower and Brave, yay!!! :foxhi: :foxhi: :foxhi: Flower in its complete version is better than ever, and Brave is a great song too, as I guessed listening to the preview! Good luck for your first single, Ban-chan

Oricon Ranking

#7 Flower (Tomiko Van) :bigthumb:

Exactly what I was thinking!

Long time no see btw...
real hot sig :twisted: haha

YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Like you said on your blog, it' s a great achievement, since Ban-chan is just born as a solo artist and it' s like she has to recreate a fan base all over again. It will be a long and hard road in my opinion, but I' m sure next year at least one of Ban-chan' s singles will be #1 in the Oricon chart

I agree. Her new songs are really nice, I think she will succeed in her solo career.

LOL...again a 7? its great...seems to be her lucky number :foxxd:

Great single, and i think she is doing really good in her solo carreer

does anyone else hear men's voices whispering a "sh" sound in the instrumental of [Brave]? :shock: one occurs around 0:16-0:17.

funny how the instrumentals of the songs could be for DAI songs... :cry:

the music for [Flower] kind of reminds me of [SIGNAL].

and someone commented on how Ban-chan doesn't sound screamy in the high notes anymore. you can still hear it in [Flower]. XD

i really love [Brave], probably because of the (kind of) tribal-sounding drums. and it's really peaceful and nice. i can imagine being in a rainforest or something whenever i hear it. or on top of a mountain. XD

Ban-chan dropped to #14 on the Oricon Charts T___T

I'm not sure she ever sounded screamy. You can hear her go into head voice like three times in the whole song

oh, she's never been screamy while singing. i meant when she goes high, it sounds kind of nasally or something. not head voice. just like she's squeezing out the notes. XD

It' s all right in my opinion: since Ban-chan comes from a disbanded band and she was mainly knewn as its vocalist, her solo career needs a warm up. I' m quite optimist about Ban-chan' s solo achievements ^^

Currently at #15...

it's ok, Ban-chan, we still love you so very much T___T

HAH! AT LEAST SHE'S BEATING OUT ORANGE RANGE. I remember Orange Range beat out Do As Infinity one time for one of the last items (or maybe it was Do The A-side?).

Haha, go Ban-chan.
