I still have hopes that it could be a new (mini) album. That would be so cool!
I guess Kuu is able to bring enough new and good songs till Octobre with her crew.
Or maybe it's a live compilaion album or something like that.

Serious question... besides b-sides which I don't think will all fit on one disc, what else could she possibly compile? :laugh

I'm with NintendoHTF1242 on this! New original album only, please!

UNIVERSE was just released in February! You guys are so greedy :laugh

She can do the unexpected and release a compilation album of her cute songs? CUTIE is LIFE! ~kawaii long time~ and include 12 cute songs or something lol.

If they do release another compilation, it'll be like the A COMPLETE nonsense all over again. Just milking fans because of an anniversary (although I love A COMPLETE). But Kumi just had a compilation album at the BEGINNING of the year...

That's such a good idea, but I don't think it would be a big seller.

Hopefully it's not. I doubt it because didn't someone say it was only 1 disc?


Going back to our discussion about CDs I was thinking last night what if instead of CDs the whole USB thing caught on. I mean it would be kinda neat cause you'd get a neatly designed flash drive plus an actual physical case and booklet (unlike if you download from itunes or w/e), you'd get all the PVs, plus they could design some kind of cool looking UI to play the music and videos. And instead of mp3s they could put the music in a higher quality format like FLAC or AAC.

You'd be surprised... :mini

If they made a Kumi USB, I'd be forced to buy it~ D:

a Kumi USB stick .... that would be interesting.

I wonder what it would look like.....

It would be in the shape of a *****.

oh hell yeah :lech

How about a Fans Favorite Collection compilation?

^ So they should have made an Internet poll (at least in official FC site) months ago ;)

Piano version of you was on BOUNCE & LOVERS. :P I wouldn't mind other version of feel.

Even if it's compilation album, (K Ballads, or sth) I'd love her to make PVs for some old songs. Kumi, don't let it be just old stuff packed with nice cover, something new attached (maybe a concert) is a must! They say 1 CDonly version, right? Sounds boring .__.

along with some info about the tie-in for anata dake ga!

So, I've been listening to some of Kuu's older albums lately, and I think I just realized, after literally SIX YEARS of listening to it, that in "SHAKE IT", when she covers ICE CUBE's song, she's actually saying the original lyric, "I can do it put your ass into it" instead of what I THOUGHT she purposely changed it to, which was "I can do it put your ARMS into it".... I thought she changed it so she wouldn't be saying a "bad word", but I think now I've realized she didn't do this and actually says "ass", yes? :D :laugh Which makes so much more sense considering the song's title...

^Well at the beginning of Hot Stuff, KM-MARKIT raps "to the mother ******* F" or something like that, so its not like she hasnt had swearing in her songs before.

I know, which didn't make sense why I thought she seriously changed it! It was just a matter of misheard lyrics due to her Engrish I guess... I just thought it was funny that I only realized it after six years of listening to that song.

I don't want another compilation, but a new studio or mini-album is almost impossible, so who knows.
