I love Got To Be Real....♥

Is Kuu all about the covers now?~

lol that's awesome! I'm surprised she'd cover that song! just the fact that it's THAT song makes it epic lol It actually took me a minute to be like, "hey that's kuu singing" lol I'm really really glad she's doing this song. It's so so so much fun, totally her.

The commercial is hilarious~ She, seriously, she should be an actress. Her commercial is the best one lol

omg I wish we had the offshots X_X

thanks luv :heart :heart :heart

I thought she used to endorse coke? Hehe

^ She was couple years ago.. Coke Zero

The CM is HOT!
But i don't like the BG music :/

CDJapan & HMV say you get a B3 size poster as first press with Driving Hit's II... :)

cool

& so's for CDJapan's case too :)

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCD-46533

I like B3 sized posters they're so small & cute

Not bad! I'm hoping to see the outlook of the poster soon :)

did she cover somebody's song? it sounds very familiar to me.. I love it

uppss.. sorry.. I missed that.

i dont mind if she release this as a single

Mh I have to listen to it @ home =)
Maybe it will be a bonus on the 9th studio album like Venus on TRICK.

But another cover as a single would be odd =(

yeah it is. but it is EPIC song. i love it so much. gonna search for the original singer :D :innocent

Omg I love the dancing Pepsi bottles xD;

CM is amazing. Dancing bottles = fantastic elastic. She herself - sexy, beautiful, gorgeous.
Is she queen of commercials or what? :thud

omg Kuu's WORKING IT! She's looking all smoking and hot there... :D

I'm not a fan of the commercial. She doesn't interact with the soda. She just dances around and they threw in "come to life" life size soda bottles around her. The song was nice though but take out the dancing soda bottles and you really don't know what she would be advertising.

got to be real by kuu is :heart !!!

i loveee the cm. full song plz

that CM is LOVE! :luv2 kuu was so fierce, lol. she sings that song amazing, too. :D

70s and 80s cover album plz... Venus, Hot Stuff, Got To Be Real, I Feel Love, etc. Engrish love :heart I like that cm, I wish she'd let her hair down though... I'm tired of all the up-dos. It's at a good length now!

I love hat CM and the cover=)
She definitely rocks singign covers. (Because she's the best :D)
So maybe I do want another cover song after all even if I didn't think so!

There was some rumor about PVs for This is not a love song and others on rumchiro, so those. I can't find it!

Reading "fan request PV" I got thinking about "You're so beautiful" PV again.
Wasn't it said there would be fans acting in it? I remember something like that written on her homepage. But I might have missed what turned out with this...

Never imagine kuu to cover Got To Be Real, but it sounds pretty good :D

it was mistranslated. fans were there during the making of it.

Wowww, amazing cm

I thought the gurls on this CM were FC members. =/
mmh.. anyways:

That CM made my day :luv2.

=D I think that her single "Trust your love" is good...

I love how she's wearing all these expensive diamonds while drinking ~pepsi max~

LMAO

loving that Got To Be Real cover.

fixed

sorry. lol couldn't resist.

really though, she does look nice.

man she makes drinking Pepsi looks so good & classy

dammit :P

Fierce and sexy:luv2:luv2:luv2

The photographer did horrible....he/she made her cheek so freaking wide it's scary. I wan't Kumi to interest me again....praying for another Black Cherry quality album sometime in the near future...preferably without a BEST slapped onto it.

bb there are so many pepsi's in this world today that I can't tell what's what D:

Just wanted to let you guys know that I got my copy of BEST ~third universe~ and UNIVERSE Today and took caps of the PVs. UNIVERSE Caps are uploading now *Hoping it works* Any specific server requests?

I also took caps of the DVD Menus and there's 459 Caps total of the UNIVERSE PV's.

It took me like 10 seconds staring all over to find out what you did with that picture lol

I was looking for like, changes on her...and at first I thought you had blown up her earring to make it look more like fake bling...

but...yeah...no lol

^ COKE ZERO FTW~

The CM looks nice though~

Those diamonds were the first thing I noticed about this picture! :laugh

Thanks for this :)

Aww, I love Someday...♥

K....I'm gonna feel stupid for not knowing but what's the song in Kumi's Pepsi CM called?

....yeah....and if Lady Gaga really covered Kumi's "Just The Way You Are" I'd be kinda happy....I dunno....don't hate me for liking THAT song....but I really liked it after hearing it at TRICK tour....it's really annoying after a while I understand but it's a neat, simple little song.

It's the nemes picture! thanks for the bigger one :D

and damn those embedding disable things.

@ DEEP RIVER: Got To Be Real by Cheryl Lynn ♥

^Oh yay! Thanks....when did she cover it though?

It's new :D

^Oh ok....I dunno I assumed it was off an old album or something....but googled and found nothing. I guess that means she's recording new material....already...that's cool.

^lol yes, I think they announced a new single...i dont know last week? or the week before...or something like that lol

...i think they announced it...I dont know, but we knew about it I guess lol


I think it's interesting she's doing so many covers...well not really that she's doing covers, but more, the one's she's picking...this one certainly came out of nowhere...I'm really happy there's gonna exist a koda version of it :heart

I hope she doesnt get too ahead of herself though...some old epic songs could be disastrous...like...could you imagine her doing like, i dont know...RESPECT by Aretha Franklin or something lol

the way she looks at the new Nail Max cover, the image and everything is so 2006 Koi no Tsubomi Kuu...anyone else remembers tons of images of Kuu with a big bun on her head from that time?

oh, she's lovely. I'm glad "I'm the NEXT generation & I drink Pepsi" (old old Pepsi slogan) :laugh

That CM is hilarious! :laugh
And she looks so great.
The cover of Got to be real sounds nice. I wonder if we get to hear the whole cover song soon or if we have to wait several years again like with Venus.
(and full Venus from Kuu turned out amazing! :heart )

^ (I thought Venus was one of Kuu's biggest disasters! D: )


Oh my gosh, she looks so beautiful in the CM! And it's kinda neat to look at the Pepsi CM now, and then look at the old Coke CM. It shows how much she's changed, and matured.
And super-excited for the NAIL MAX scans!! :luv2

I know and some others think the same. :laugh
But I absolutely love this version from her and apart from one line, I understand her engrish pretty clearly. It's so much fun and it has a lot of power. And by the way I also adore the live version from TRICK tour. I have to swing and dance along every time I hear or watch it.

Ugh, see, I actually have to cringe anytime I hear or see Kuu's Venus! XD Then again, every single other version of that song, including the original, kinda makes me cringe, too..... So, it's not entirely your fault, Kumi. :innocent

I didn't see this posted before so I thought I would share. Kuu and her new look will also be on the cover of the gyaru magazine JELLY. This is rare, as JELLY, as with most gyaru magazines, don't usually feature singers on the cover. It's kinda funny too, cause I was just watching the new CM and was going on the JELLY website to look at their new mini movies, and there Kuu was!!

JELLY website

^Ah, yes. They were. That's really quick, since it's the April issue of JELLY. Although, I'm still pretty shocked cause they updated the site to have her on it which is still unusual.

Oh Kuu why are you so mediocre...

^ What do you mean?

to be honest I didn't like this song at first, but after watching that performance at TRICK Tour I feel in love with it now. I love the dancing too and how people got pumped while kuu was singing it. :luv2
I'm so sad though that we never got the Venus performance at a-nation'08 in full ): just a little clip in the a-channel report. u_u

by the way, Got To Be Real is SO CATCHY! <3
I downloaded the mp3 rip from KKL and I can't stop hearing it. lol :heart
I really hope kuu will release the full version soon, this song fits perfectly as a b-side of a summer single imo! *O*

EDIT:: just sharing two walls by Kumi Duff @ I Love Kuu

http://i49.tinypic.com/1zxktxc.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/72vklu.jpg
awww. <3

I dunno what I mean really. Like, I like everything Kuu does but she always feels so... average to me. but she's always got that dopey smile on her face, you can't help but love her XD

^ Lol. I guess I understand what you mean... Like, there are some of her ballades that are pretty boring, or some of those really cheesy pop songs, but I usually end up liking them in one way or another, just because of the way she presents it, alone, hah. That's actually one of the reasons I love her so much. Whether that's good or bad. ^_^'
