^o yea...u noe wad..I actually never considered Lady Go! and Run for your life B-sides lol...I really like them as welll... (my bad)..

in that case...its her 4th best..since Come Over isnt really impressive to me

she has a ton of really good b-sides, these are my favorites (in no order)
Run For Your Life
Always
Winter Bell
Dear Family
LOVE HOLIC
Into your heart
Come Over
girls
Sora
Lady Go!
Taisetsu na kimi e
Your Sunshine
Sweet Kiss

Bounce is ok i don't really like it that much.

I remembered how everyone was going "ZOMG BOUNCE IS AWESOME PPLZ" but now I don't really think it's that awesome anymore LOL

I love Bounce. :p But I also love almost all of the Kuu's b-sides so... yeah. :3 Only b-sides that I haven't heard yet are of course Winter Bell and also Your Sunshine. My favourite b-side from Kuu is probably Always. It's just so lovely, cute and peaceful. <3

And I'm gonna wait til the single comes out before I download it. I don't want to listen to the songs so much I get bored with those like I did with TABOO, and that was a mistake. :p Then I had to take a break and yeah. And I also think that it's better if I wait patiently (pretty hard because I love stay with me) for the single's official release. :3

Haha i mean..some B-sides are nice..but the thing is if they do get stuck in my mind...and probably few do...so yea...
i understand that some of u like them more then me hahaha...yea..

I am against your opinion ^^ because I believe that Kumi Don't care about the B-Side but Sometime Kumi be lucky With B-side Song

I think the best B-Side Was in Freaky ! And MC

Note : MC=Moon Crying Not Mariah Carey Lol :laugh

i love bounce <3

Bounce is awesome! I wish it was an a-side.

It's too late, will always be my favourite b-side. <3

So what's your favorite b-side not counting Lady Go and Run For Your Life? ^^

And can anyone please upload Bounce? I don't have it. :cry

I wish the Kumi download topic would be fixed >_<



Hmm why does Wiki say Winter Bell is removed >_>

yeah her official site said winter bell is removed but i think kumi put winter bell againg

that was good choice i love Winter bell

NOTE:Sometime i think i'm talkin 2 myself :cry

it's the other's decision if they want answer your posts^^

^

Oh, hopefully!

I love Winter Bell too, it's awesome.

Maybe if it got removed, it is because they had such positive responses that they want to keep it for the to be announced song on TRICK, or an upcoming A/B-side?

i never trust wiki!

i love all of kumi's b-sides! that is a very rare thing for me. i only wish they would get more love, like live performances and stuff.

I still want a b-side collection :yes

as i say she always care in her a-side and she make PV 4 A-said only

The B-Side IS so poor :sad

i have now her b-side start from take back and end in freaky i'll try to find more , yaaay so cool if i got all of her b-side :love

@juicy: Come Over got love lol

I love "Bounce!" She really has a lot a good B-sides, and I think a collection of B-sides would be an awesome thing indeed!

Melrose, what Kumi download topic are you talking about that needs to be fixed?

yeah, so did RFYL!

poor songs like Bounce got ignored until dirty ballroom. that will be fun to see.

omg bounce as an aside :no
i always thought how i was grateful it was a bside or else that would be embarrassing.

omg, she'd try to hump it JUICY bottle style but fall flat on her face :thud

TRICK's final track is called Ai no Kotoba, so it's not an entirely english titled album after all! it's pretty obvious it's going to be a ballad. and Bling Bling Bling is a collab with some AK-69 person.

ai no kotoba? well i hope it'll sound pretty. i'm really desperate to hear bling bling bling x_x

^ Yeah I know what you mean! My curiousity is driving me crazy...

AK-69 (aka Kalassy Nikoff) is a rapper of course. We should have seen this coming. How can a song called Bling Bling Bling not have a rapper? HOW? It's not possible.

I'm looking at his official website and he doesn't sound that bad. The song that plays sounds sorta reggaeton-ish.

@Melrose..my fav is Bounce...but it can get reptitive...so i don't listen it so often now..at least there was one point of time i was so hooked onto it

Its just beginning of Dec but im excited for this album!..even though I didnt really like Kingdom (even when I was super excited when the info was released all at once)

Bounce should had been included on Kingdom imo. I loved that more than anytime anyway so that's why I think like that. :D

Ai no Kotoba? Kind of reminds me of 1000 no Kotoba. I hope that Ai no Kotoba will be beautiful song, because the name is very pretty. :)

omg, thanks for the update!

AK-69 did a collab with ARIA for her song Departure for her single Departure feat. AK-69/Harmonize you feat. Kalassy Nikoff :yes i'm probably gonna love Bling Bling Bling now

wow, i had no idea he's Kalassy too. :thud

TRICK's covers were posted on her fan club. We just need someone to leak them now!

yes, someone please do! :weep

REALLY? omg. i want to seee

Damn I KNEW IT! I knew the covers would be coming like VERY soon. *Waits patiently*

i want to see them....very bad... *waiting impatiently*

i heard from someone on JPM that they are "normal", whatever that's meant to mean. :rolleyes

normal..well..that really gives me an idea of what it looks like :rolleyes

seriously? i wanna see them :weep

yaaay i hope it leak soooooon

but i hope song didn't leak only bling bling bling i wanna hear it lol

first one is okay... umm.. both not so good though :(

next time please dont hotlink my images

^ sorry, it's not a big deal though :P

Ai no Kotoba? I certainly hope it won't be a boring and sucky ballad like 1000 no Kotoba.

Please say that this a joke.
These covers are seriously horrible, I like the second the best tbh.

i really did expect better from her..maybe the booklet pics will be better? :shrug

OMFG the covers made me breathless, speechless whatthe****everless. o_o

The first thing when I saw those covers, my thought was

WOW WTF IS THAT? KUMI COPYCAT?

Then I read TRICK and I was like..UMM LOLZZZZ?!

The second cover is awesome, though. I think/hope that's CD+DVD? I just don't like how her body fat seems to fold around her waist..do you see the fold?

It means MAGICIAN/CLOWN TEAM ZOMGGGG *HAPPY*!!!!

In 1st cover she looks like Kuu from affection cover, not the recent Kuu


QUESTION QUESTION

Does someone know if there will be a poster bonus? I really want a poster of that second cover *_* (Though it'd prolly give me nightmares >_>)

really like the covers!

and what did i say about the album being circus/magic themed? :P

CD+2DVD actually :yes

it reminds me of Anna Tsuchiya's NUDY SHOW! covers :/
but I like them^^

lol i don't know why everyone is liking the one where she's like a clown..
i like CD one better..she looks sexy and not so weird

So do I. It's weird, but good!weird if that makes any sense. She looks nice on the first one though.

The first wan, yes, is boring...but i like her hand pose...
the second wan is JARRING! hahaha...but yea its artistic...
the font positioning is bad..

o no...she just broke her streak of amazing covers/photoshoots for me...haizz

anyways..just hope the songs make up for it heheh

the first one... :roflmao

but the second one is :luv2

and wtf? ai no kotoba?? LOOOOOOOL hitomi has the same titled song too :roflmao

I love the covers... CRAP. Kuu, or rather avex wants me to buy both versions :grumpy

I actually like both covers, sure the CD Only one doesn't really suit the concept of this album but it's actually really cool, I don't know but there's something about it that's cool lol.

While on the other hand~ the CD+2DVD totally suits the concept and whatever's going on in there, the outfit, everything is really awesome except for the font that kinda looks cheap (I know it fits it BUT STILL) and it'd be better if Kuu was looking into the camera instead :eviltongu

The 1st one is too simple
the 2nd one..wow LADY JOKER ^^ or clown...but it doesnt look like her

omg the second one is :luv2~!!!!!

i dont really like the first one, but maybe it'll be better if its bigger *prays*
oh well, i'm gonna buy the cd+dvd2 version anywayz :P (thats the second picture right..?)

i loveee the first one, she looks so pretty. the second cover is just alright imo.

Umm...uncreative much? DD: Definitely her worst album covers. It's such a shame because Kuu has been on the roll as the cover queen of 08. It seems like they used Anna Tsuchiya's Nudy Show photographer. Sick of the same old Circus theme that they are using this year. Where da hell is Leslie when you need him? =/

what is up with all the circus themes *sigh* I don't like any of the covers. Tacky and uncreative. Oh well... I still can't wait to get it though.

This is the first time I'm saying it about a kuu album.
Awful covers.
Specially the CD+2DVD, it looks ridiculous, offensive, doesn't look like kuu, and the hair's horibble.

^

I think your negative feelings are mostly due to the theme being used before?

But from an objective viewpoint (or at least one that hasn't seen this type of cover used before) both aren't awful. @_@

^I have totally nothing against the concept, circus, magician not at all.
The idea is cool.
I don't like how the covers look like.
The cd only one is nice but still pretty plain (and that's not the version I'm going to order anyway). Remind me kuu from the affection era which is not bad.
(For the record I don't believe (or remember) I saw any circus themed cover before Melrose =P (I don't listen to the spoken anna tsuchiya stuff and never saw the cover so...)

The CD+2DVD brought me wierd negative feelings and when I looked at it my stomach felt funny =\. I really don't like looking at this cover. Let alone it doesn't look like kuu at all except for the chubby face. The only thing I might say about it is the make up's good.
I don't know, it might be the position and the facial expression. I just don't like it at all.

I'm personally disappointed with the covers. These covers had so much potential but Avex didn't use it.

I got to agree with you

how does it look offensive?

as "artistic" as it may be i just think the cd+2dvd is bad and it doesn't even look like her... i hope this is a TRICK!!! hopefully it's like a slipcase cover and the rest will be normal because they could have played on this theme in such a better way.

i hope the theme is incorporated into her tour, just not so drastically. :weep:weep:weep

Not what I was imagining but I like them both. She's completely normal than she does a spell and she changes into the second. Now you see me...Now you don't. I like how she covers the left eye in the other and then the right eye on other. Maybe she's a court jester performing a TRICK for the queen of KINGDOM.

Not her best album covers, but they went a different way with the theme. It's something I never thought she would do. Since she's hit the big time, she always has went the glamourous cover way. Not this time.

^

Wow you're right! I didnt notice the eye thing
awesome

I was hoping for something SEXY. But the first cover is terrible and the second one, as someone mentioned already, is very artistic and that's why I like that one. I just wish Ku looked dirtier in them. Lol.

I really like the CD-only, it's simple and fits the whole "show girl" theme, and I like the pose.

The CD+2DVD is horrible, kill it with fire

the cd only version looks kinda cheap and her hair doesn't look very nice. The cd+2dvd version is surprising. She doesn't look like herself at all..lol...but atleast its different? XD

why am i reminded of anna's NUDY SHOW! album? :laugh i like the first cover a bit, but omg at the second one.....:irked

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?! Whatever guys, I think these are AWESOME. The first one is hot and the second one is AMAZING. <3333333333 It's very ARTISTIC. Maybe I have more of an appreciation for it because of my art minor.

I was not expecting this AT ALL from her! I LOVE IT! I don't like anyone who has used a "circus/magic" theme before, so this is all very new to me. XD

If she didn't have the make up and the blue carpet around her neck, I'd like the CD+2DVD cover

hooooooot hooooooooot i can't breath shee loook so hot

i like them ooh my fav cover i'm gonna make set nooow !

I'm worse. I'm dating an art major and I can't help but ask questions when I saw how different the pictures are. Why is she just covering one eye in each? Why a different eye in each? Why cover herself in so much makeup that you can't tell it's her? Is she hiding from something? What? Or is it who?

Unfortunately, I don't think Kumi is that deep.:thud

^she got punched in the face, and the flipped the image for one of the covers so we wouldnt notice.

thank god for the CD only pic, i hope more pics are like that in the booklet :heart
the clown doesn't look artistic..it looks cheap and crappy. 10 cent art at the thrift store maybe :laugh

ooh part of me u make me disappointed lol

don't make me hate the cover

anyway the clown cover is much better than circus cover it so cheap

and it's better than kingdom she look hoot :love

I love the second one :luv2

LOL!! that's funny hahaha!..
I think the covers are...moderately..ok...
i wont spend any time staring at them though

Omg, I didn't know the covers have been released. The CD+DVD cover shocked me because I would never expect Kumi to make such a cover. There both good.

the cover is cool...its for her new album right?

When I first saw them I instantly hated the CD+2DVD. But it's starting to grow on be a bit...ah I need to see more promo images.

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/info/release090128.html

they added the covers to the site

Kuu is too fast lol i wonder what the site look like in trick style

they kinda remind me of Lady Gaga a bit!

But I love them...LOVE THEM!...I want posters O_O

~already?~ I love the CD+2DVD cover!
I knew it had to do something close to a masqerade or something like a disguise lol
kuu is one hot clown =D

the covers match the title, i just...didn't think they'd REALLY match the title. :laugh i can't say they are kumi's worst ever, i just wasn't expecting this at all.

hmmm so what u can match wih the title ?

Wow. It looks like the budget for this one was $15.

even if 10cent it not matter but still nice

I gotta say though, her nails on the CD+2DVD are KILLER AMAZING. I think it's the first nail art on her that I like, they actually look like long nails instead of talons for once

I bet the people who don't like her CD+DVD cover REALLY don't like visual kei bands! :laugh

LMAO I like V-kei bands!!! But I'm not sure if that's why I like the CD+2DVD, I like it because it's shocking, eye-catching, and it makes you wonder xD; But it does remind me of Kirito from Pierrot, ne?
