16 songs! :D I can't wait to listen to recorded version of I know. I love that song and I've made sure to not watch or listen to performances of the song from the past two solo DVDs more than a couple of times just because I want the song to feel very new to me when I get my hands on the album. I can't fucking wait! I also hope that it's one of the two UNTITLED PVs on the DVD version of the album, although it looks like that may not be the case since there's one site saying that experience and KARATACHI make up the rest of the PVs on the DVD. They says it contains a total of 6 PVs which contradicts the 5 that avex is reporting. Im also surprised KAIGANSEN didn't make it onto the album considering most Japanese fans were fairly sure it was going to make it on there. I also can't wait to see what Kiyo does with the album arrangements of each of the four singles on the album. I want this album NOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! :D

The jackets are beautiful. avex corrected the album name on their site.

Kiyo also updated 清春ノ帰 today with an entry on SATO TAIJI. It looks like he may appear on the new album.

I was taking a look around checking out the recent live reports and found the line up that played at Kiyo's recent ALEXANDRITE shows. KEISUKE appears in both the SAMIDARE and KURUTTA KAJITSU PVs. MASUO also appears in the KURUTTA KAJITSU PV.

According to Amazon.co.jp, Kiyo's upcoming album will be titled madrigal of decadence. avex on the other hand says it's called 「madrigal of decadance」. The release date is 7/29. :D

avex has opened a Kiyoharu site: 清春 エイベックスオフィシャルサイト

Ahhhh!!!! I fucking love this song! The video is fucking beautiful too! It's so much better than the dark empty room with rotating fan in KURUTTA KAJITSU. He also brought back his silver Gretsch! :D

LIMITED EDITION: 2 DISC DVD + CD ￥8,000(tax in)

REGULAR EDITION: 2 DISC DVD ￥6,000(tax in)

RELEASE DATE: 08.26.09

LIVE DVD 『PLAY OF MEDLEY』 was officially announced the other other day at Kiyo's website. It's coming in two different editions. It will feature footage from the 4.17 OSAKA KOUSEI NENKIN KAIKAN DAI HALL show. The CD included in the limited edition version of the DVD will feature audio from the same show. The CD 's track list is already up at avex's mu-mo SHOP. According to mu-mo SHOP the DVD will feature 20 songs from the live show. 30 songs were performed that day so it looks like a few performances will not be included. There's also a partial track list of DVD on that page. If you reserve the upcoming DVD at mu-mo SHOP between 2009.06.10 and 2009.08.25 you'll get a special Kiyoharu pill case. If you reserve the upcoming album at mu-mo SHOP you'll get a Kiyoharu card sticker assuming you reserve it before the stickers are gone.

There's a preview of the DARLENE PV up at Kiyo's website. It sounds fucking great. :D
