THE SECOND COLLAB SINGLE … ⋆⁺｡˚⋆˙‧₊☽ ◯ ☾
“CINDERELLA” is the second collaboration single by Kaori Takahashi, featuring girl group Allume (@flwrbankent !). Released on September 6th, 2013 by Avex Trax, the single was a critical and commercial success. It was a chart-topper and one of Kaori’s biggest hits, selling over 600,000 units in Japan alone and becoming the country’s 6th highest selling single, under Arashi, Exile, AKB48, and Kaori’s own singles “Black Night” and “Pop Diva.” Both Bonbons and Allume’s fanbase adored the song, and not only would it further endear Kaori to the Korean public, but it would also set the precedent for future collaborations between her and Allume.
TRACKLIST !
CINDERELLA (FT. アリューム / ALLUME) ! LEAD SINGLE
BE MY BABY ! B-SIDE
COMMERCIAL PERFORMANCE !
Oh, this single was slaying away!
It cracked over 200,000 sales within a week and was downloaded over 100,000 times, and it debuted atop the Oricon chart immediately. “Cinderella” was probably the most famous single from an artist in Japan because the way it was being played everywhere.
It remained on the Oricon chart well into 2014, and even when it dropped out of the Top 30 sometime in May, it was still charting! Japan loved this damn song!
It also found itself on the Gaon chart! It debuted at a very high No. 2 with over 110,000 sales, but it’s not surprising since Allume is so huge in Korea, and since Korean fans were gradually warming up to Kaori.
The biggest surprise of all, though, was how well “Cinderella” did in the states! It sold a little over 90,000 copies and debuted at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the girls were absolutely floored at how close it got to cracking the Top 10. They were surprised that it even got into the Top 20!
Kaori had a pretty decently sized fanbase in the U.S. because J-pop was having a little Renaissance back in 2013, and her unique style and ability to speak English definitely endeared her to Western audiences! So of course “Cinderella” saw some success there!
Allume was a unfortunately niche thing to American audiences, but this got them so much exposure. A win-win!
It remained on the Billboard Hot 100 for about three weeks, and it remained on Gaon for nearly six, and it also charted in countries such as England, France, Australia, and the Philippines, and when I tell you critics were eating this single up, I mean it.
They especially loved how well Kaori and Allume’s voices went together, and they adored how “J-pop” it sounded! Like “Cinderella” really did combine the traditional idol sound with Kaori’s more mature, unconventional, Western pop style very well. By the end of the year, Billboard had listed the song as one of the best J-pop tracks of 2013!
“Cinderella” was truly a smash hit. Like everyone loved it and the collaboration was a match made in heaven!
AWARDS WON !
Best Collaboration Video at the 2013 MTV Japan Video Music Awards 2013 !
Best Hit Song at the 2013 FNS Music Festival !
Top Single Sales of the Year + Download Song of the Year at the 2014 Billboard Japan Music Awards !
Song of the Year by Download at the 2013 Japan Gold Disc Awards !
Best Collaboration + Popularity Award at the 2013 Mnet Asian Music Awards !
Hot Trend Award at the 2013 Melon Music Awards !
STYLING !
Now you know Kaori had to kick it up a notch!
For earlier performances during the Sweet 18 era, the styling was definitely a bit more casual and leaned into 2000s pop punk aesthetics/1970s rock ‘n roll, but here it was gothic and dramatic (with a pop girl touch, of course) all around! Like of course she had to match the song’s concept!
Around this time she got really into visual-kei (bands like L’Arc-en-Ciel and Malice Mizer) and more theatrical aspects, and her stage outfits definitely reflected that.
Lots of thigh high boots, suits that made her look like she hopped straight out of The Phantom of the Opera, lots of rhinestones and sequins and shiny fabrics that emulated seventies glam rock and early 2010s futurism, lots of capes, and Kaori even had on a sequined top hat at one point!
And of course, knowing her, there was inspiration taken from Namie Amuro lol. More specifically, from stage outfits she wore during the 2010s!
Kaori’s makeup remained mostly the same, but there was a lot of matching going on! There were rhinestones used and stars painted onto her face, and her stylists did floating eyeliner on her once! Of course Kaori’s eyebrows were still dyed, and she actually thinned them out for a couple performances.
The styling for “Cinderella” was definitely a precursor to what we would see for her Chinese debut and her tour, though, and the girls ate it up!
ERA HIGHLIGHTS !
Best micro-era ever! Kaori had so much fun!
Right after the single dropped, she wanted to perform on Music Station with Allume, but due to scheduling conflicts, that unfortunately didn’t happen at the time. :( However, it did end up happening shortly before Kaori went on tour!
The choreography was so well done! Most of the time it didn’t feel like “Kaori ft. Allume” because they all danced in a line, especially during the chorus. It almost looked like Kaori was Allume’s seventh member!
The girls had a TV interview together in Japan, and they appeared on Weekly Idol in Korea! Their Weekly Idol episode was hilarious like the way Marisol had to keep translating for her… 😭
There weren’t too many promos for “Cinderella” until the end of the year, but Kaori, Marisol, and Analise were that trio this era!
They were always hanging out and taking pictures and just being cute! One time after the MAMAs they went out for dinner to celebrate, and after one of Allume’s fans spotted them together Twitter went wild!
At the start of November, Kaori teased something at the MAMAs by posting a photo of her holding a card from the ceremony on her Instagram while en route to Korea. At this point everyone knew that she was performing, so of course they were all like “why is she being so cryptic lol.”
We got a video of her and Analise together in a practice room with the rest of Allume… 👀 and then it was radio silence for like 2 days.
But that was all on purpose!
Because after Allume’s performance at the MAMAs, we got a surprise performance of “Cinderella!”
And the stage was so cute, too! It was this huge gothic castle with a bunch of platforms that the girls stood on… definitely one of the best performances in MAMAs history, mhm!
Afterwards Kaori and Allume all went out for dinner again, and we also got a video of her and Marisol being surprised that they heard “Cinderella” in a store 😭
They were all “omg we’re famous!” Like of course you are, this song was all over Asia!
But the best part of this era?
They performed at Kaori’s tour!
The styling for her Seoul concert and specifically for “Cinderella” was insane! All seven of them looked phenomenal, and this performance was arguably better than their one at the MAMAs!
During Kaori’s encore she actually brought Allume back on stage! They were just having a good time up there playing with the confetti and waving goodbye, and Marisol and Kaori gave each other the tightest hugs ever lol.
Shortly after the era ended, though, some of Jinah’s fans started acting… a little strange!
Jinah has a resting bitch face, so when she and Kaori met at the MAMAs 2012 she did look a little mean, but that was just her regular face so all was well! However, since Jinah’s fans are so detached from their own idol, they somehow came to the conclusion that Jinah hated Kaori…?
They were all down Twitter talking about the “beef” she and Jinah had and just making up shit. Like one time Jinah’s fans were like “gotcha!” because a video of her shifting her position by taking a half inch step away from Kaori started spreading… like oh brother!
They were literally in Kaori’s comment section like “Jinah hates you…” she literally responded to one of them by saying “girl shut up” (verbatim!) and Jinah liked her damn Tweet!
Gagged actually!
While Kaori was touring in America, she was asked about the drama in an interview and she went “what drama?” Like she was confused!
She laughed it off and cleared everything up and the whole thing died down shortly after. Like Jinah’s fans were bending over backwards to start something and both of them didn’t give a shit!
Allume loves Kaori, you guys. Don’t worry!
All in all, collab of the year! Aside from… whatever the hell happened with Jinah’s fans, “Cinderella” was an absolutely incredible release! The public loved it, critics loved it, the girls had a great time, and their fans couldn’t wait for more! ♡

The “Queen of Collabs”—Kaori Takahashi Collaborates with Artists from Psy to Namie Amuro
September 20th, 2013
by E. Cha
With the release of her chart-topping sophomore album Sweet 18, Takahashi is on the top of her game at the moment, and it’s only been 21 months since she first made her debut. The idol’s second album has sold much more than her first, selling over 600,000 copies, and it’s slated to place within the top three of Oricon’s end of the year albums chart, in comparison to the top ten placement Takahashi’s self-title achieved. Her newest single, “Black Night,” became her biggest hit to date, debuting atop the Oricon singles chart and becoming Takahashi’s first No. 1 single. It became the most downloaded song in Japan, and even saw success in America, managing to score a place on the Billboard Hot 100 (her second Hot 100 single so far). And with that level of success, it’s no surprise that other major artists are clamoring to collaborate with her.
The first collaboration to be released was a major one. A remix of Psy’s mega hit “Gangnam Style,” (which hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100) the track was released in June, and its subsequent success cut rather close to that of the original. It garnered two number ones on the Billboard charts, one on the Hot Dance/Electronic chart, and another on the World Digital Song Sales chart. It also debuted at No. 6 on the U.S. Digital Song Sales chart, found itself atop the Oricon charts, and placed at No. 5 on Gaon. Within a mere month, the remix’s music video has also garnered viral status. As of now, it has nearly 90 million views on YouTube, and it’s currently tied with “Black Night” as Takahashi’s most viewed music video. The MV didn’t go viral on the song alone, however. Netizens in South Korea fell in love with Takahashi’s bold makeup, her claw-like nails, and wacky, 2000s-esque hairstyles, with some comparing her to 2NE1’s Dara. There was even a name coined for her style of makeup on Naver, “starliner,” and the trend has gotten so big that it’s spread to England. There was also a scene in the MV of her blowing bubblegum, and since it was the thumbnail, Korean netizens began calling her “Bubble Girl.” Additionally, critics have heaped acclaim on the “Gangnam Style” remix, praising Takahashi for her energetic and unique delivery of her lines, as well as for the versatility in her voice.
The story behind this legendary collaboration is pretty cut and dry, as Takahashi and Psy met at last year’s VMAs. The former’s label, Avex Trax, was quick to push for a collaboration, and due to her status as one of Japan’s fastest rising stars, Psy’s label—YG Entertainment—was just as quick to agree. Takahashi was originally supposed to feature on a remix of “Gentleman,” but she insisted on a remix of “Gangnam Style” instead, as she already had a verse written. And it seems like that change was for the best. An interesting thing, however, is how Takahashi initially believed that there wasn’t going to be a music video for the remix. However, Avex informed her that YG had agreed to one a day before she was set to fly back to Japan. And so, Takahashi remained in Korea for three more days (she was initially there to record her lines), and what is possibly the best music video of 2013 was created.
The second and most recent collaboration to be released was one with South Korea’s very own AKB48 and Flowerbank Entertainment’s most successful girl group, Allume. Released earlier this month, “Cinderella” was also a smash hit, and is probably the most beloved collaboration that Takahashi’s ever done. The gothic concept and traditional J-idol feel of the music video was a favorite among both critics and fans, and Takahashi’s increasingly improving vocal ability saw the most praise, with critics adored how well her voice paired with the members of Allume. And, of course, the track’s commercial performance was just as good. “Cinderella” debuted atop the Oricon chart and found itself at No. 2 on Gaon. It even saw success in the United States, cracking into the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart at a rather high No. 19. With over 6 million views on YouTube, the track has been trending for the past few weeks, and it’s reportedly been playing across Tokyo and Seoul ever since its release.
Takahashi met Flowerbank’s mega girl group at the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards, shortly after Marisol and youngest member Analise stated their love for her music. Even though Takahashi and Allume got along well, there was no collaboration planned or even mentioned in passing. However, as Takahashi and Avex were discussing bonus tracks from Sweet 18 to possibly release, she brought up what was originally an unreleased demo, the track formally known as “Chandelier” and what would become “Cinderella.” Since it was a demo, though, the track was unfinished and “empty.” Takahashi, ever the one to take control of her career, suggested Allume as a possible collaboration, as she believed that more than one additional voice would make the song sound fuller. Both Avex and Flowerbank agreed on a collaboration, as Takahashi needed more international exposure, and although Allume was already popular in Japan, more Japanese fans wouldn’t hurt.
Like the “Gangnam Style” remix, behind the scenes of the “Cinderella” MV was posted to Takahashi’s YouTube channel, showing just how much fun she and the Allume girls got along, and there were some truly notable moments between her, Marisol, and Analise. And just a few days ago, Takahashi stated that a live performance of “Cinderella” is in the works, sparking excitement among both fandoms. She also said that she would love for Allume to perform with her during her upcoming tour, and we can only wait and see and hope that it’ll happen.
Even after two major collaborations, Takahashi still isn’t done. Her upcoming single “Telephone” is an exciting one, as she’s set to collaborate with J-pop legend and her biggest inspiration Namie Amuro. The song is reportedly a quintessential 2010s EDM track, topped with the dark concept that was all over Sweet 18. She’s also collaborating with western artists such as Cobra Starship, Ke$ha, David Guetta, The Cataracs, and will.i.am. The first is set to be on the band’s lead single off of their debut album, “You Make Me Feel…” It’s a truly star-studded lineup that shows just how big Takahashi has gotten in the span of just a year and a half, and it’s clear she isn’t slowing down anytime soon. She’s said that she wants to collaborate with as many artists as she can, so we can’t wait to see what she has in store!

The “Queen of Collabs”—Kaori Takahashi Collaborates with Artists from Psy to Namie Amuro
September 20th, 2013
by E. Cha
With the release of her chart-topping sophomore album Sweet 18, Takahashi is on the top of her game at the moment, and it’s only been 21 months since she first made her debut. The idol’s second album has sold much more than her first, selling over 600,000 copies, and it’s slated to place within the top three of Oricon’s end of the year albums chart, in comparison to the top ten placement Takahashi’s self-title achieved. Her newest single, “Black Night,” became her biggest hit to date, debuting atop the Oricon singles chart and becoming Takahashi’s first No. 1 single. It became the most downloaded song in Japan, and even saw success in America, managing to score a place on the Billboard Hot 100 (her second Hot 100 single so far). And with that level of success, it’s no surprise that other major artists are clamoring to collaborate with her.
The first collaboration to be released was a major one. A remix of Psy’s mega hit “Gangnam Style,” (which hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100) the track was released in June, and its subsequent success cut rather close to that of the original. It garnered two number ones on the Billboard charts, one on the Hot Dance/Electronic chart, and another on the World Digital Song Sales chart. It also debuted at No. 6 on the U.S. Digital Song Sales chart, found itself atop the Oricon charts, and placed at No. 5 on Gaon. Within a mere month, the remix’s music video has also garnered viral status. As of now, it has nearly 90 million views on YouTube, and it’s currently tied with “Black Night” as Takahashi’s most viewed music video. The MV didn’t go viral on the song alone, however. Netizens in South Korea fell in love with Takahashi’s bold makeup, her claw-like nails, and wacky, 2000s-esque hairstyles, with some comparing her to 2NE1’s Dara. There was even a name coined for her style of makeup on Naver, “starliner,” and the trend has gotten so big that it’s spread to England. There was also a scene in the MV of her blowing bubblegum, and since it was the thumbnail, Korean netizens began calling her “Bubble Girl.” Additionally, critics have heaped acclaim on the “Gangnam Style” remix, praising Takahashi for her energetic and unique delivery of her lines, as well as for the versatility in her voice.
The story behind this legendary collaboration is pretty cut and dry, as Takahashi and Psy met at last year’s VMAs. The former’s label, Avex Trax, was quick to push for a collaboration, and due to her status as one of Japan’s fastest rising stars, Psy’s label—YG Entertainment—was just as quick to agree. Takahashi was originally supposed to feature on a remix of “Gentleman,” but she insisted on a remix of “Gangnam Style” instead, as she already had a verse written. And it seems like that change was for the best. An interesting thing, however, is how Takahashi initially believed that there wasn’t going to be a music video for the remix. However, Avex informed her that YG had agreed to one a day before she was set to fly back to Japan. And so, Takahashi remained in Korea for three more days (she was initially there to record her lines), and what is possibly the best music video of 2013 was created.

💼 put me on kaori !!
💼 — songs they’d listen to on a long drive !
“oh, i have to think about this one …” kaori said, trailing off as she begun to think about her answer. “the first song that comes to mind is definitely ‘midnight love’ by girl in red. i love slower songs like that during long drives, especially since they make me sit still.” she laughed, knowing exactly how her answer would be received.
“another is ‘come as you are’ by nirvana !” she adds. “it’s one of my dad’s favorite songs, since nevermind was the first english album he bought himself. another is ‘remember summer days’ by anri, since that is actually one of my mom’s favorite songs ! i’m also partial to ‘plastic love’ by mariya takeuchi and ‘forever and a day’ by, well, my mom. just a whole lot of city pop. and, of course, absolutely anything from mitski ! especially ‘my love mine all mine.’”
“also !” kaori exclaims, wanting to add a song before she forgot. “‘a kiss in the rain’ by krush ! i love those girls with my life. they’re like my babies.”
thank u for the ask ! ♡
