I just thought of this. Her first album was One for YOU!, then it was Two YOU.
I can imagine the third album to be titled as YOU YOU YOU 
Third album calls for 3 YOU's!

Really looking forward to this release! I really enjoyed her albums so far, especially the first one.

I'm most excited to see the title tbh lol.
Maybe they'll do a play off "You and Me" and call it "You and Three"? 
I don't think anything's ever going to beat Mano's Friends, More Friends, and More Friends Over though. I still crack up thinking about it.

^ Except she missed the best opportunity to name her goodbye album "NO MORE FRIENDS" 
"You & Three" actually sounds plausible. Better yet, though, they should just ditch the whole 'YOU' naming scheme.
I'm so excited for this album, though! Her singles since her 2nd album, imo, have been far superior and easily some of her best songs, and if she keeps up that quality for the album tracks, I think it'll be an incredible release

They're not bad. She's done quite a few covers now using this theme of duality, and these ones aren't really the most elegant of the bunch. Still, at least they have some kind of concept going on, which makes them more interesting than the standard glamour shots.
EDIT: Tracklist is here as well!

As she gets older and more seasoned, she reminds me so much of Tamaki Nami (phrasing/genre) mixed with LOVEppears era Hamasaki Ayumi (looks/vocal timbre).
The Strawberry song is a complete smash. I hope she gets more attention for her great music.

I've said before that in a different era, I could totally see Kikka taking the J-pop world (or at least the idol world) by storm. Her talent was obvious since MilkyWay, but she's been on a hot streak for a while now releasing great song after great song. She absolutely needs more attention, but I don't think she'll ever get the attention she truly deserves :/
That being said, WILDSTRAWBERRY is fantastic, and was just what I expected/wanted from the main promotional track: it's good enough be an A-side, and continues to combine Kikka's awesome (unfiltered!) vocals and a catchy, powerful dance track.
There are 4 more new tracks to look forward to: Akane Disco, Planetarium, Konna Aishicha, and Stairways. I have high hopes for all of them!

Ever since her second album Kikka's dance tracks have been at the top of my playlists and I love Wildstrawberry. I'm really excited for this album. And I agree that Kikka could be big in a different time. You would think in an era of a lot of idol groups with a lot of members, soloists would be a breath of fresh air. Honestly, I think it might be because Kikka is in idol purgatory I mean most of her songs aren't considered idolish, Wildstrawberry is not an idol song, but UF markets her as an idol. Or maybe I'm just analyzing it completely incorrectly and soloists are just not popular anymore

I kind of wished she split the 3 songs from Hana here since I love Cosmos e no Inori tons, but the other two were OK....oh well ...another 17 minute song though???
