Woow I’m quite impressed by the preview of the new ballad. This sounds quite unique in her discography. The lyrics are really beautiful and we can feel her emotion in her voice.
I wanna hear more!

4 MORE sound good as well!
I already like both songs more than the 3 songs from SUMMER OF 21.

Same lol The ballad is really unique to her, I am hoping we will have a touching video to match. Could even be a simple one like NEVER ENOUGH plus city landscape shots.

Everything from these last weeks about Kumi has me so hyped, it's being a great way to end her 20th anniversary celebrations.

I enjoyed both songs. Thanks for sharing, Corvina.

And thanks chocopockymaster for that translation.

^ WOW

Ku going back to her roots? I,could,not,believe,it !

Talking on going back to her roots, her cover of SPEED's "I Remember" is out! It sounds so good, such a smooth rnb tune, some 90s/early 2000s vibes to it, and her voice is also great.

Even if she doesnt feel like making a whole cover album, I really think she should make a covers best with those tribute songs plus covers throughout her career... Saigo no ame, Cutie Honey, BE MY BABY, Megumi no hito, and all those classic ones we have plus ENGAGED, So Close, IT'S SO DELICIOUS, Wanderin' Destiny, and now I Remember! All amazing tracks, would love to have them all on an album! She could even extend it and have an English covers disc as well, with Venus, Got To Be real, We Will Rock You, Livin La Vida Loca, maybe I Feel Love or Hot Stuff (from Donna Summer, which she also covered live). These days I also discovered she used to cover xtina's "Reflection" in the first years of her career, would die for a chance to hear it.

OMG, I love the radio rips and this SPEED cover of the song "I Remember" too!! She sounds awesome!! :heart :D

Also, I'd LOVE to hear her cover of "Reflection" as well. I've never been a big Aguilera fan, but I've adored that song ever since I saw the original animated Disney's Mulan in theaters when I was a kid. :heart

What is the situation with Blank Paper group and the song enemy ?
Wasn’t it supposed to be release in October ?
I thought the anime start broadcasting already.

iirc the ending song is already out on Spotify but nothing from avex yet... The only thing I have seen about the band project is this insta account but then it could even be a fake one

One of the posts has a video as the second pic but nothing interesting just a logo and a bit of the song we already know

Since BACK-ON just released an album, and Kuu will probably do the same in the beginning of 2022, I guess they will announce the band after that. My guess is they made this song as a small test, to see if people would find out about them or even how they would react to the song without knowing who is behind it. It's weird af tbh lol

Avex has really lost their hand at marketing at this point imo, they drop things here and there digitally and hope it becomes a hit. It's also like what they're doing with Kalen Anzai (no shading her at all), she had one type of sound and imagery at her debut and then she just switched to another one and keeps on releasing random digital singles. She should have had an EP at least when the dorama about ayu debuted, and a full album by now... But seems like they want to keep trying on a lottery until a big hit comes up by pure luck. I hope blank paper doesnt have the same faith...

Thanks for your answer :)

I’m really digging enemy. I hope we can have a full version soon even if the band is promoted later on. I agree it’s a weird marketing decision.
Do we know if the anime is well received so far?
It would definitely help promoted Blank Paper!

4 MORE PV will be aired on YouTube next Mon night 9pm Japan time

:spazzed

Happy bday Kuu!! Thanks for being such an amazing artist, wish you all happiness and love in the world!

Was hoping Kuu would perform at this coming Wed's Best Artist 2021 but alas no :s

Oh well here's hoping she would perform at the year end 2021 FNS Kayousai

They should of just made the best a fan club release if they weren’t going to promote it well. Hopefully it debuts Top 10 is all I hope for.
