she looks cute in the hashire pv :yes

it looks kind of boring tho :(

OMG! She looks AMAZING in the Hashire PV!!!! 10 billion times better than Lick Me!

So can someone give me a rundown of Kuu news that's happened since last Thursday? I missed an entire thread :(

new kuu promos from fever live in hall - the book looks like its the size of a car - plus a new commercial

we got lick me pv, and previews for ecstasy and hashire

kumi has a teddy bear on her radio show

kuu accused of copying hyori's u go girl with lick me - everyone was like LOL YEA OK....

thats basically it..

hashire pv looks awesome too!!
i love the orange-yellow outfit!

Thanks, juicy :heart

this thread's moving so fast til I can't keep up @_@

anyway I hope the Hashire ! PV will be up for download soon

Damn it! Okay decision time! I can't spend a lot of money at all (because of something I'll tell you all later), I want the CD-only, but these PVs are screaming "CD+DVD version, HOLLA!" I can't get both, but I'm not sure if I can wait for the album D:

*edit*

problem solved...

Can't wait for this single :D

drawn by Hikki XD it's sooo cute! Kumi Kuma get freaky~

Cherrim , no I haven't seen that pic before

:roflmao it's so cute what can I say ? :laugh

Hashire! PV preview looks great, really I love all three PVs so far.
This summer single rocks defenitly!
I have a good feeling that she can have good sales and the No.1 spot.

4HotWave > 3SPLASH > FREAKY > Moon

at the moment...could easily change, I love all except Moon, it's the weakest by far

:laugh

And I wanna have this goodies!
Thanks Luver for all the photos.
It's funny how Avex promotes FLIH II that big and didn't even say when it will be. :rolleyes

are sure it is koda kuma?
this is not so @.@

it's not the official koda kuma
it's a drawing utada hikaru did of kuu's FREAKY cd+dvd cover as a bear

omg the hashire PV! looks so good! it makes the song sound better, haha. i love it so far :P

OMG, it looks so cool! :luv2
I really love it.


I want those goodies :thud Thanks for the pictures.

The hashire pv looks good. But the song just isn't doing anything for me at all. It's just ... boring.

I really hope they sell those merchandises outside O.O like in Kino >.<

the event looked like a lot of fun xD

Do they usually sell this kind of stuff at Kino?

Ew, she looks like a man with a whig in that bottom right picture :roflmao

avex/sankyo is really making a big deal out of the new KUMI FEVER. i don't remember them going as crazy last time. :thud

ohh!! I understand now..
I just see the position of the kuma xD
is so cute :3

thanks for the pic Cherrim^^

i agree! O.o

Yeah that's true... but I'm glad she'll perform anytime! I love that song to death! Btw, if those alt PVs are gonna be exclusive in the p-machine, then we'll never get to see them in full?

Ah Hashire! PV looks awesome and I gotta agree with Gubsi - 3 SPLASH is the PERFECT SUMMER SINGLE!!!

Thanks Luver again, and also for the FILH II promo events and pics... omg Kuu is like so "in the news" again~

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/126/29843409.gif

Not sure if the tracklist refers to the concert... but sorry if I got it wrong!

@Tsubasa: Thank you for the pic in 1200x800! It's my wp now!

^ you're welcome waterballoon ^_^
and thanks for the ECSTASY's gif, juicy :luv2

what is that? fever live in hall come with cd + DVD??

meh, so confuse right now about fever live in hall, i thought it was concert( and we can watch that concert on kuu next album like her previous DVD bonus)...

but with that panchinko machine photo, PV with different endings..it all made me confuse @_@

HOT!

and i love the koda kuma's!! so cute XD i saw that freakuma before, wasnt it in the FREAKY cd-booklet?

ohhh i see, i'm not sure if that's for the concert either. i guess we will have to wait and see.

i hope this live follows in the steps of the last one and has a live band. BUT with a live band = :heart :heart :heart

and thanks guys, i'll make more gifs when we get better quality!

http://www.imeem.com/yumikochan134/m...ve-in-hallmp3/ <--- love her squeal in the beginning!

i wish we could get the panchinko machine videos :weep the picture w/ 3 on it is so pretty. number 9 tho......

in advent of FEVER LIVE II i have a present for everyone!

http://www.imeem.com/sexiah/video/jP...ama-arena-mus/

fever live one, streaming! you have to see this live, it's epic.. complete with a live band.

the opening cherry girl perf is so good. also lol @ the backup singer during freaky. "get fweeeaky"

Hmm, this info around Fever Live in Hall II is so confusing. I'm going to be in Japan in July, and I'm REALLY hoping that FLiH will be in that time period. I mean, you CAN attend the concert like a normal concert, right? Just by buying tickets, etc.

What's also weird, is that according to announcement history on the old FLiH 1 website, the event was announced 5 days ahead. Uuuuh. Yea. Which leads me to believe that it's some kind of private concert? ;~;

I REALLY want to see Kumi soo much when I'm in JP... I arrive in JP the day after her last TRICK tour concert (july 2nd) so I'm very sad about that. 3/4th of that tour's setlist is in my top 20 of Kuu songs (SHAKE IT, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, Driving, Always, Lady go!, BUT, I can go on and on with the list lol)...

@juicy: Yea, FLiH 1 was really nice! But I'm not sure what the set list will be this time around? I don't see how she can do TABOO, ECSTASY and Driving with a BIG BAND lol. Oh Lord, I want to see TABOO or Driving live SOOOO BAD you have no idea. ;~;

btw, that dance bridge in BUT is so sexy

Edit: Sorry, I have a question. Is it possible to attend MUSIC STATION or something? I was hoping that if FLiH isn't in July, I could go to one of her live perfs or something. S_S

fever live I was a charity event, i'm not sure about this one :( i don't know any info on it really, but i'm very excited for it.

A charity event?

So that means... free entrance? o_O

no, no, more like, the proceeds went to charity.

the CD+DVD is only the merchandise, like the catalog, poster, etc.
the FEVER LIVE IN HALL is a live of one day, promoted by SANKYO (and from there, the pachinko machines)
on the top, juicy leave the FEVER LIVE IN HALL video (at 2007)

A 82nd thread? ALREADY wow I missed a lot. I Love the PV preview of Ecstasy. Can't wait for the full thing or was it already released? Hashire was NOT what I was expecting.

Wasn't the last one only for fans? It wasn't like a ticket seller. The tickets were only available to people in her fan club. It was a while ago so I'm not sure

@^: Omg, are you serious?

Can you please check? Or tell me how to check. :X

:D thank you for your explanation ,tsubasa:D
so this is the part II concert, right?
:yes i see...can't wait for watching the concert~ ( maybe next year as a bonus album:thud)

can't wait to watch the whole show!!
i love the first Fever Live in Hall ^^

about 3 SPLASH, Lick me's PV is very funny and the other previews are amazing!!!
kuu's soo sexy in ECSTASY :luv2

btw, does anybody know if the concert with Black Eyed Peas is the recorded one for the DVD???
i hope so, i would be sooooooo cool!!

Oh no!

FLIH one WAS Fan Club only!

Omg, how do I find a Fan Club member to buy me tickets. D: Is anyone here a Fan Club member? (Just for info, I wouldn't ask you to buy me tickets or anything if you don't want to. e.g. I don't even know if you can attend the gig if you're not a FC member yourself actually.)

All the info about FLIH II doesn't really makes any sense to me...
I mean, Kuu & avex are spending TONS of cash and time promoting a surely sold-out one-night-only while she's on a more "massive" and significant nationwide tour, and we don't even know when the show will be held yet

^I agree. I'm a little confused about the whole FLIH stuff...

:roflmao WTF.

Yea I wish TRICK album got this much promotion o_o

apparently not! :cry
see this:

Max Matsuura spoke recently on his personal blog about TRICK Tour, saying that there were two days for the tour ends, and recording for the DVD will be in Fukuoka. T_T
The photo is of kumi and two of those fans lucky enough to be with her in the backstage of TRICK Tour u.u

http://i44.tinypic.com/72pqqh.jpg

i'm pretty sure kumi isn't spending the money, it's her company promoting it. xD

kumi's nationwide tours don't need heavy promotion, as they sell out anyway with just a few buses advertising and bilboards.

this is a little show (and if it goes for charity, it's a great cause) for fans and the promotion surrounding it is for sankyo machines, plus it goes to show us that avex still puts a lot of ca$$$h into kuu.

This Fever Live in Hall II is separate from the TRICK tour. Sankyo wanted Koda Kumi to be the face for their new arcade machine(is it a slot machine?). The event itself is a charity. I'm not sure if Kuu/Avex is getting paid for her appearance at the event. I sure they are helping to pay for all this, but in exchange they get the added promotion for 3 Splash, the rights to sell the concert footage later, and of course the promotion for Kumi herself.

This is mostly Sankyo's project rather than Avex's so that's why it's probably bigger in terms of promotion than the TRICK tour.

My only question is when the whole thing's gonna take place.

probably before the summer ends, i'm thinking late july - august

wait....arnt those songs in the CD the ones with alternate PVs for the Pachinko machine????..shouldnt they be on DVD for bonus material lol?

actually i wouldnt say avex is promoting or spending money on any of this. it's produced by sankyo, i don't think sankyo would have avex promote them. sankyo is just using kuu to promote themselves.

but the ecstasy pv looks amazing :D

i'm sure avex had to spend money to get some kind of deal with sankyo. they are also promoting lick me (3 splash) and kumi herself, like sundae said

seems like a win-win situation for both.

They just came to some negotiations.

its been one week since Lick me premiered hasnt it???

I hope ECSTASY premieres tonight or tmr

Ecstasy PV is OMG! The best of the 3! Like I thought Hashire PV was 10 billion times better than Lick me....Ecstasy is like 100 bajillion times better than the other 2 PVs. I might have to buy the CD+DVD for that PV alone...

I'll be there doesn't have an alternate PV... apparently. From what I can remember of the promo video... the songs with alternate PVs are anytime, Ai no Uta and you.

OMG I really hope SS will air ECSTASY soon! I can't wait to watch it! And can any Singaporeans tell me if it's possible to order 3 SPLASH CD+DVD with the limited edition pouch from HMV?

And FILH was great... I watched it on Kingdom and omg yes awesome! I hope FILH II will be like better~

really? from the preview of Hashire PV, i like Lick Me's PV MUCH more!

OMG lucky people!!:thudI wanna be there and get autographed TRICK album!!!

And I need ECSTASY!! ECSTASY SO BADLY!! PV of course....:innocent

I just couldn't keep myself away from the previews of ECSTASY and hashire! PVs. I watched those and I got this cool nostalgia feeling of 2005-2006 to my mind. I thought "This is the Kumi Kuu I remember! \o/". I'm so over excited of this single now. I don't even want to know how much more excited I will get when I finally watch the Lick me PV (haven't seen that yet). :D But anyway, I want this single so badly. <3 And the FHII as well. ;_;

Those fans are so lucky!!!!

i meant the fever live in hall, not the single promotion.
but that's just my thinking. not like we'll ever really know who paid for what lol

Event & Music Info added to FLIH II site... ;)

http://koda2.com/event/index.html

http://koda2.com/music.html

^ thanks Luver♥

in the MUSIC Info are available to hear just some songs...
these will be songs chosen for that Kumi singing in the concert?

sorry for my bad english..

WTF!! :cry
Black Eyed Peas sings with Kuu and they don't record that concert???!!!
hope they put the performance in the DVD.
just the performance, pleeease avex!!!

They might actually record the BEP and Fergie performances as bonuses on a 2nd DVD or something... and thanks for the links Luver! Gonna check them out now!

EDIT: The promo events look like some expo man! So grand *_* Sankyo is REALLY rich! And I guess the "music" page is like... what she's gonna sing in FILH II? OMG I LOVE THESE SONGS baby! anytime, FREAKY, Lick me ♥, you, Koi no Tsubomi... I'm gonna love FILH II to death! :heart

^ That's a track list for her Fever Live In Hall II concert... the first one was done like 2 years ago or something right? And in the 2nd DVD of Kingdom.

But I'm not exactly sure if it's the track list cos it looks damn confusing... but yeah it's related to the FLIH II!
