Hello everyone, and sorry for the long lapse in updates. Since the last update made here, JURIBE released “BRIGHTEST WAY”, and four other singles: “Sōda-mi no Kiss”, “Namida no Naka Kimi o Mitsuke Ta”, “Hāto no bakudan”, and lastly, “Ima Sugu Kiss Me”. (Mental self note: update the discography page.)
The New Album. WOOHOO!
And now, JURIBE’s long awaited debut album has just been announced! Self-titled as JURIAN BEAT CRISIS, the album will be released on the 1st of September and will include every song released since her debut, as well as brand new song, “I believe”. Below is the track list.
- Sakura Mau (サクラ舞う)
- BRIGHTEST WAY
- Ima Sugu Kiss Me (今すぐKiss Me)
- Sōda-mi no Kiss (ソーダ味のKiss)
- Namida no Naka Kimi o Mitsuke Ta (ナミダの中キミをみつけた)
- Hurricane Love (ハリケーン☆ラブ)
- Mou Ichido… (もう一度…)
- Flying Rabbit (フライング・ラビット)
- I believe
- Lonely Flight
- Aitai yo… love you (逢いたいよ…love you)
- Hāto no Bakudan (ハートの爆弾) [Album Version]
- Go! Let’s Go!
Now the album will be released in three editions. The CD+DVD edition, priced at ¥3,990 (~$45 US) contains a CD with the above track list, and a DVD with the music videos from the original twelve singles, as well as an off-shoot clip, and the drama version of “Sakura Mau” (whatever that may be). The two other versions are CD-only, and apparently the only difference between them are the covers, and the fact that one edition just so happens to be about ¥1,000 less than the other; the cheaper one is a “student aid special edition” priced at ¥2,000 (~$23 US) and is a limited edition, which means that if you don’t reserve yourself a copy ahead of September, you might find yourself with only the ~¥3,000 CD-only or the CD+DVD option to purchase. As JURIBE’s only physical release so far, I highly recommend you preorder it. (I know I will!)
That one on the center is the one you want to click. Japanese CD albums are almost never under $30, so this nice price came at a surprise to many, including myself. Anyway, once again, sorry about the lack of updates. It won’t happen again—promise! 
Depending on where you live, have a great rest-of-a summer break!
