they're already up! :D

Kumi's BRAZIL photobook is also up for preorder on HMV Japan :)

I remember I downloaded FFX-2 soundtrack on my computer back in 2004. I thought real Emotion and 1000 no kotoba would be in english but instead I got japanese versions. I was disappointed and didn't really care who the singer was at first. "Okay, this has to be a man, no woman sings so low" was the first impression. For some reason I ended up listening to those versions quite often, and then even sing along. :D

Then I forgot Kuu completely (which is sad and I also got obsessed with Hikki), and then in 2006 I was surfing on wikipedia if I remember correctly. I was bored and read some articles. Kuu was mentioned in some j-pop artist article (I think it was something about Ayu since I was listening to her quite a lot at the time). I read that Kuu wasn't a successful one before the year 2005 and lolled so hard (I guess I was quite a ayu stan back then lol), but then I somehow found myself from youtube and listening to Butterfly. o.O I didn't feel interested. To me this song sounded so boring and stupid, and even the PV was annoying. Then I heard you and Promise. I cried when I watched you PV. Promise made it even worse and I ended up downloading her discography. It was a few weeks before Black Cherry came out. And that album made me a crazy fan. :'D And I got a picture in my mind that I also saw Trust Your Love, real Emotion and Crazy 4 U PVs while discovering Kuu.

Everything she released after Black Cherry made me love her even more, and eventually I completely forgot Ayu for a year and half I think. I gotta confess that I don't feel bad about it. Now I feel like I'm totally myself (meaning I'm dirty minded) and it's all thanks to our sexy queen Kuuchie sweetie~ :luv2

WOAH the book is quite heavy 1.6K oh god that's killing my ass :laugh

I think I'm going with hmv this time :P

Taiwan press for the UNIVERSE DVD is already up for preorder on 5music *___*

http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=431475679233

it will be out next Fri woo

if anyone need help to order & etc (since you need to know Chinese to navigate the website & let alone they only take credit card for payment) , don't hesistate to PM me for help :)

My first Koda Kumi song was Rock your body :)

Ohh that is lovely! I wish her hair wasn't slicked back though. Definately getting this to go next to my MAROC book <3 Btw... Kuu really thinks up the most creative titles for her photobooks doesn't she? :cool

Thank you babe!! <3 ikr Ai no Uta photoshoot is extremely gorgeous

I completely don't remember how my first meet with Kuu has been like :laugh I can remind myself that my first song was a track from secret (SHAKE IT, Cutie Honey... or maybe something else?) and it was around 12 singles - 4 hot wave era period. I haven't liked her at first, just with the rest of songs I've got into her. Now she's one of my beloved 3 asian queens and I can't imagine my life without listening to her music. ;_; :heart

my first kumi song was cutie honey :luv2 i was in looooooooooooooove with that song and showed the PV to all my friends :laugh


OMGOMG you think YA will sell it as well?

I think so

but as to when YesAsia will get it listed for sale on their website for sale , probably it might happen only in like what mid-Nov ? D:

^yay! thanks for the infooo <33 oh and i dont mind it if they release it late november i dont have money right now anyways :laugh

Woohoo! Pre-ordering tomorrow~ :)

LOL

for this , I don't know if avex HK will be making the UNIVERSE DVD as they have done so for her previous ones except for TRICK

crossing fingers they will do it , just like what avex Taiwan has done

Oh**** the book is heavy lol. 6400 yen for shipping D:
I'm not sure if I'l going to buy it!

Omg, this booklet sounds amazing, and I usually don't buy photobooks...but I would really love to have this one.

OUCH that takes it off my list.

OMA

the BRAZIL photobook weights 1.6kg :thud according to CDJapan @_@

if I were to buy it



LOL even if you use SAL , it's still pricey when you add the shipping cost to the book :thud

I'm assuming this photobook will be hard cover ? if not , why so heavy in weight ? :dead2

the MAROC photobook weights 690g according to CDJapan so D:

Omg a textbook of half nekked Kuu of course it has to cost pure gold and your soul.

It's not that bad if you live in the US and choose FedEx. The total comes to about $70. It's still basically double what the book is worth, but for how heavy it is, it's not awful. Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself of that because I really want it.
