I also prefer the Urban Kiss version of Ai no Uta. It's just better lol

Most of her ballads are bad and just there to make money really

I think Kuu is just cheesy as fuck. I love her earlier ballads, but the ones from the last few years have been a snooze for me. Only Walk of My Life comes to mind as decently recently.

So i purchased the Walk of My Life fanclub edition with the concert. Did she not sing all the songs at the concert or is it edited? Some parts feel edites but some do not..

Any news about the new album from the FC?

In my opinion Koi no Tsubomi is awful lol. I love Ai no Uta though.

Gosh for a while I forgot about Kumi but re-downloading her discography and catching up on her releases is so much fun. I love love most of the WALK OF MY LIFE album and keep replaying Lippy and Like it.

Cute songs aren't Kumi's strength but Koi no Tsubomi is one of the few I can stomach.
Always hated Ai no Uta but yes the urban kiss version makes it listenable.

anyone remember Gentle Words? such a great chill song.

M1 KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2016-BEST SINGLE COLLECTION- DOCUMENTARY FILM ‟THE ROOTS“
M2 ご当地映像~Special Edition~

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1044462

The M2 is for each region? or is the same content for all the DVDs? D:

Kuu made a short encore intro movie for each prefecture of Japan for the tour - that's what's meant here.
There's just one tracklist for the release.

Best Single Collection feels like it's own era at this point. :o
I was hoping the documentary release would be attached to a new album or single. It's coming soon I guess.....(I hope)...

thank you :D


Oh, according with mu-mo, would be a 'hidden video' with the Band and Dance Part from the Final date in Okinawa

Why did you think that?
It was advertised fom the beginning as a part of a set with the BSC DVD/Blu-Ray.
The info for album and/or single will probably come in January.

Wishful thinking I guess.
For some reason I feel like the new album and/or single will be a FC-exclusive release but we'll see.

If it's a new album I don't see why Kuu will do that. There will have a FC version for sure but she will not forget her others fans, it doesn't make sense to me (no offense ;) )

I absolutely love Koi no Tsubomi, it was good, I witnessed it's peak with my own eyes, and the PV is good for me

^ah no, i don't despise it and I love the jacket shot but when I put away the nostalgia and love i have for that whole time, the song is just very plain.

for me Koi no Tsubomi is still the best cute song she has ever released, it's one of my favorite Kuu songs in general...
the instrumental is lovely and like tol89 mentioned the covers/booklet are really great, one of my faves in her discography!

i think Birthday Eve is by far much more overrated and plain than this...

so guys to waist some time til an announcement...
what are your fave 15 Kuu songs overall?
i wonder if you have some surprises/songs no one expects?

Her best cute song is Love Technique IMO, hands down

Mine are
