KO-SO-KO-SO is way better in full. :heart

VIP is a mess, but I'm liking the sound of the others :yes

VIP is a mess, I hope it turns into a hot mess with some time :P KO-SO-KO-SO is pure win, awesome

Oh, the camera design is beautiful, I was expecting something pink with white circles and nothing else.

Exactly what I got from the preview and why I dislike it. Just like POP DIVA which never grew on me. I really wish Ku would release a GOOD dance song again.

Oh my, the violin part in V.I.P is awesome! :heart
The melody in the background is also really pretty. It's so sad they put so much over it at some points you can't even hear it clearly.
It's a different kind of song and overall I like it. Though I'm not crazy over it, how I hoped I would be. I'm still disappointed about POP DIVA which I never really loved.
I'm happy that I already like V.I.P better, just for the great viloin part and the melody. :laugh

KO-SO-KO-SO is a gem of a song in full! :heart

ANd wow, I love IN THE AIR preview! Hopefully someone recorded this and Poppin'love cocktail as well!

KO-SO KO-SO is superb!! It's like her best upbeat song since... ever?? Nice beat, sexy vocals (anything annoying this time... thanks :D)
I'm happy about V.I.P... I just listen to it twice, cause I want to wait to see along with the PV, but the first impression is something like "wow, experimental song... that could be great!" Let's wait to hear it in HQ along with the "must-to-see dance routine" of the pv... the background sounds so nice. It's the structure of the song the most confusing of everything.. hahahaha

KO-SO-KO-SO in full version is AWESOME! V.I.P is awesome too! and I like a lot the previews of Poppin love cocktail and IN THE AIR! AWESOME SUMMER SINGLE! ^-^

Omg you guys are making me nervous about VIP!!! It's loading now.

Guys where did you get KO-SO-KO-SO in full? I can't find it :( and I want it...

EDIT: Ok, I've found it :P

VIP is a disaster, KO-SO-KO-SO is perfection.

What happened to Kumi's club songs? Yeah I got use to POP DIVA but it took a minute. I miss instantly falling in love with her club jams D:

Maybe TABOO was too much of a magnum opus that she can't out-do it now? Because TABOO seems to be everyone's perception of her perfect dance song.

She should just keep re-releasing it because nothing will ever measure up lol j/k.

meh imo TABOO is too overrated. BUT > TABOO totally <3

I love V.I.P and KO-SO-KO-SO :heart

i think i'm gonna love all the songs on this single! :D right now my most favorite is "KO-SO-KO-SO", and "V.I.P. comes second. but i still love it! :heart they're both such hot songs. i like the previews of the other 2 songs, as well. can't wait to hear them in full!

meh imo TABOO is too overrated. [2]

meh imo TABOO is too overrated. [3]

Poppin' love cocktail was played on the radio a couple minutes ago and it's great, I loved!

EDIT~
Poppin love cocktail feat. TEEDA (LQ)
http://tumblr.com/xzj3hcxukx

This is the best that I could :/

omg Poppin' love cocktail is her best summer song since... A LONG TIME :D My favorite song from 4 TIMES right now

KO-SO-KO-SO is the best, is so catchy, i think it's my favourite !!!
V.I.P is a mess, seriously i don't like it
Plc is ok, but it reminds me the song of Pretty fly, lol

TABOO kind off felt watery during the chorus for the longest time to me. I grew to like it but everyone knows what my perception of her perfect dance song is... Starts with D.

I prefer Driving to Taboo, it's so catchy that nothing can outdo it for me...except ko-so-ko-so.

Poppin'love cocktail sounds promising ^^ But there really isn't a space between Poppin' and love? damn I hate such situations :/

lmao me too, but mainly due to 'aha aha' intro.

Lol, no, there never was a space between poppin and love.

Poppin'love cocktail sounds great so far!
I'm really looking forward to a HQ version.
Thanks kaled!

Just IN THE AIR missing!

Thanks! :)

V.I.P. is a mess but it's a fun mess. Full KO-SO-KO-SO is GLORIOUS. :luv2
The beginning of Poppin love made me think of Pretty Fly for A White Guy (the give it to me baby part). lol.

Another recorded version of Poppin'love cocktail:

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjg0ODQ5ODcy.html

Thanks to kinot @ JPC for recording.

I love it! :heart

I absolutely :heart KO-SO-KO-SO. Can't wait for the pv.

it's so catchy

V.I.P. sounds pretty cool! It's pretty hot and the beat is awesome.


forgot to add: IN THE AIR sounds like it will be my favorite song from this single.

KO-SO-KO-SO is FLAWLESS. i love it so much. i've been saying kosokoso all day.

mp3-rip!

This single has the potential to become my favourite summer single :love

[2]

and thanks for the rip!

I like KO-SO-KO-SO more than V.I.P this song is not my type...I won't judge now, based on LQ rips...

I looooove Poppin'love cocktail's chorus. It might become my favorite song off the single

Thanks for the better rip of Poppin'love cocktail!

I'm in love with this song, probably will open her a-nation this year.

I definately agree with those who say TABOO is so overrated. It's nice but I think she made loads better dance songs before and after that song

I thought I wouldn't care for Poppin'love cocktail but I really like it!! I love the beginning lol

Ahhh I really hope we get IN THE AIR today too!

When I first listened to 'V.I.P' I expected there to be a big chorus somewhere, like in Poppin' Love Cocktail, but it never happened. But I'm becoming to like it more as a play it. It's hard to listen to all the catchy parts first time round cause there quite a few samples going on at once. :) Currently listened the LQ rip of Poppin' Love Cocktail whilst downloading a HQ version and 'KO-SO-KO-SO', which I am looking forward to listening to as I have read all the reviews here. :D

I'm so so SO looking forward to all the PVs, this may easily turn to be my fav summer single from Kuu, although I think I love all her summer singles, hahaha. I kinda wish (as much as I like the cover, it's dayum sexy) that the cover looked a bit more summery, too. Like Gossip Candy and FREAKY? But nice, nonetheless. :)

EDIT: Loving the chorus in 'KO-SO-KO-SO', so catchy! I gotta say my favourites so far are 'Poppin' Love Cocktail' and 'KO-SO-KO-SO' with 'V.I.P' as a second. Surprisingly I actually really like the rap in 'PLC'. The whole song is really upbeat and catchy, I love it. <3 PVS NAO PLZ. <3

:yes

edit. nvm. just found it on jps.

^ That isn't the full song, the original one have more than 3:50min and don't leaked yet. :(

V.I.P. is a total mess, but I'm pretty sure it will grow on me like every other Kuu song I hated when I first heard it. :yes /except Outside Fishbowl, I still can't stand that song at all...

I found this...feels like the actual rip of V.I.P in HQ

The one I have sounds great and is 4:05

Where did you downloaded? The one on JPC topic posted by Isakumihamasaki is fake and have 3:08 :dead2

Ok... I adore Poppin'love cocktail now. It's pretty cute and I like the rap.

If IN THE AIR lives up to my expectations this will be her first summer single that I really like all the songs on.

i love "Poppin'love cocktail" so much! :heart it's so fun!! just the sound of it makes me feel happy & it's so summer-ish. i'd say 4 TIMES is turning out to be SO much better than Gossip Candy! (although i'll always love "Lollipop", lol. :P)

i feel so happy to be a kuu fan right now! :D

I really love VIP, it is a bit messy but its hot! Also, I love TABOO (I feel so alone on my opinions).

V.I.P - Very Irritating Piece of music.. It's so messy and chaotic that I'm not able to finish listening - it hurts my ears.

He's talking about Make It Bump, not Stands Up, kaled.
We still don't have a full rip of Stands up. :(

man, this single is just perfect! based on the previews I think IN THE AIR is gonna be my least favorite (my thoughts could change once the full song is out, though) but V.I.P. / KO-SO-KO-SO and Poppin'love cocktail are just so perfect for the summer. I'm freaking excited for the PVs now! :heart

:heart

I like it so much more in HQ.

Edit: Oh hey. They have a HQ version of KO-SO-KO-SO too!

koso koso sounds great in full.

in the air sounds like it'll be my fave song on the single.

vip sounds bad.

poppin love cocktail sounds ok. cant form an opinion right now haha.

KO-SO-KO-SO is so hot *0*
Love it! To me it's the best track of the single.

I like the way Poppin' love cocktail sounds :yes

KO-SO-KO-SO is just perfection :luv2 I haven't been this excited about a Kuu song since TABOO :laugh

Thank your for the HQ's of 'KO-SO-KO-SO' and 'V.I.P'! Can't wait for a full of 'IN THE AIR' the preview is awesome. :D

(can someone rip out the HQ versions of KO-SO-KO-SO and V.I.P mwehhehehe)

OOOOH I'm sorry, my bad :D

Hey guys, ripped the HQ video's of 'KO-SO-KO-SO' & 'V.I.P' into MP3's if anyone wants. :)

KO-SO-KO-SO:
http://www.box.net/shared/q4hj14bheqd650ax43kq

V.I.P:
http://www.box.net/shared/mckdhxdhdtx8hsy36vds

'V.I.P' is really starting to grow on me now. When you listen to it the first few times it sounds a bit of a mess, but it gets more and more catchier as you listen to it. :)

^ You are an angel. Thank you! :heart

@Ayu_Love Thank you for sharring, I got the rip from @tenshi no hane but it didn't work on my iTouch... >.<
is there lyrics for "KO-SO-KO-SO" in Kanji?

Holy moly what a amazing single :O Kuu never disappoints me. <3 I really love all the songs. They're all so catchy but I think I love V.I.P. and KO-SO-KO-SO the most out of these songs. I just hope there's a rip for IN THE AIR too. *___*

@Aishiwarya Rai I haven't found any lyrics for the single yet, I imagine there'll be some around soon or nearer the single's release, as the HQ radio rips have only been out a day. :)

There are rumours that we're getting an ballad single from Kuu in October.
Wow if this is true. O.o

I wouldn't mind a new single in October. Kuu would release another amazing ballad like Suki de x3 *_________*

Besides, there wasn't that much time between TABOO and stay with me. We heard about stay with me before TABOO even came out (or was it about three days later?). :D

Yeah, I think a ballad single in October is pretty possible. And that makes me glad cuz I'm ****ing afraid of avex putting a BEST ~KUUMPLETE~ after her 50th single, but another single means some more time till another compilation :D

If they release another compilation album, they better put some new stuff on it as well because I hate it when they release compilation albums with no new material. :/

^Same :/

Releasing another best would be dumb considering she just released an unneeded one last year. Then again, this is Avex we're talking about :/

ETA: Unless it's a b-side compilation, of course :D

^A B-side compilation with maybe some new promotional PVs for some of the B-sides to promote the album would be awesome. :D Although I'm not sure that would ever happen. ):

BEST ~B-Side Fan Selection~ would be a dream come true. Run For Your Life <3333

Why was 3rd UNIVERSE released anyway? It seems like every three albums she releases a compilation album. I know that is what was her first big seller, but geez.

(I would love a b-side collection after her 50th single. And PVs for previously PV-less songs. Kinda like walk ~to the future~).

A b-sides collection would be really awesome, new PVs would be even better omg <3 I'd die if she shoots a PV for Heat and Always

is it bad that i keep forgetting about this single. I think the covers are hideous compared to the last few, then again. i was not fond of Dejavu either. The last cover I really like was POP DIVA

I'm unable to listen to the songs now cos i' in school

can someone briefly describe the songs to me, like their genres? Kuu's summer singles always cover every genre it's amazing :laugh

^Poppin' love cocktail: Summery fast tempo rock song, with a little bit of rapping and R&B from Teeda :D

IN THE AIR: Can't really say cause full isn't out yet, but from preview an up-beat ballad, sounds awesome so far

V.I.P: Heavy dance track, similar to POP DIVA but even more going on, and dosen't really have a chorus so much as many catchy verses. Kind of a mess at first, lots of different sounds going on at once. :)

KO-SO-KO-SO: The so far favorite sexy R&B that starts mid-tempo (Like ima sugu hoshii and Juicy) then has an upbeat catchy chorus. Lots of breathy sounds and sexy singing, LOL!

Sorry if my descriptions are really vague and lame, hope it helps a little. :)

oh thanks!! i can't wait to listen to them!!

lol about the anniversary things

I dream that someday Kumi re-release her first 3 albums which it's her underrated albums and release it in DVD version with new covers and photoshoots but the same idea and rerecord her songs with amazing new vocals and arrangements :heart

and make an expensive edition comes with box collects her three albums :heart :heart

lol I know it's insane , but Kumi has unexpected ideas :roflmao

There is so much anniversary stuff for her. First 10 year, then 50th single and soon 100th PV, correct? Like 10 more or something?

^^like the gps, lol

Tracklist of both BEST SINGLE LIVE [?]

Source: official website

I like both tracklists, they balanced ballads and upbeat songs in a good way, and the songs I like are also well balanced in both versions. Wanna see the covers :D

Oh and I just dont like two POP DIVA lives |: Like they could have put another song instead of it...

^ OMG Seriously? Lol. We were just talking about that in this thread.

:thud

Oh it's a DVD.

I'm so going to download that BEST SINGLE LIVE Collection when possible because there's few songs I haven't seen live *___*

Queen of BEST :lech :lech :lech

avex will probably release a BEST of MY BEST or something. It'll be a 3CD set of her first three bests and it'll include that GPS as a first press :laugh

Saaaaaaaame. *0*

JUICY is still ignored :roflmao

The DVD don't have all the 50 singles, this is sad :( I want feel, Lies e KAMEN there!
At least she have never performed Aishou and No Regret at tours, so I'm kinda looking forward.
The red one is more interesting to me.

Hmm I'm not feeling the cocktail song.

I listened to some of her older ballads for a change and Rain, you & Gentle Words are really good :heart

:laugh Yeah you're right.
Such a shame though because I really love JUICY. One of my favorite Kuu songs.

^I love it too. And Shake It. I think Shake It was preformed on the Secret tour, but I can't think of any lives of it other than that.

After the success of 50 singles, they're ready to milk the fans again! :laugh

^^SHAKE IT was also performed on her Trick Tour. :) Where she chooses the 4 lucky fans. ;D

I'm actually quite excited for those DVDs, it'll be nice have those lives from her TV spots. :D Unless they're all just from concerts. :| But I think it's a much better idea to have some BEST live DVDs than a BEST album. :D

@Gustavopc: OMG YES. Heat and Always have always been two of my favorite B-Sides from her, that would be amazing if she ever made a PV for those. D8

I think she has never sung JUICY live, or has she? o.O

^I don't think so O.o not even on her Black Cherry Tour I don't think. Which is a shame cause it's an awesome song.

yeah... on A-Nation 06 I think... but it was never broadcasted. No dvd performance neither... :(

:yes I love SHAKE IT too.

Ah yes, the TRICK Tour preformance. I forgot about that one, thanks.

What a shame that there's no recorded performance of JUICY. I guess it's too dirty then. :D

Poor, scandalous JUICY
:lech
