Do you happen to know in what position M(A)DE IN JAPAN ended?

All I can say is that I love the direction Kuu is moving into. Maybe it's "Max Martin", "garbage American R&B" with rachet hairstyles, but somehow I love it. She's just such a fun, glowing person who still makes it her own. I can't get enough!

I don't agree with your point here. It's not because an artist is mainstream that he/she has to release music that mimics the current trend. She always has been a mainstream artist, but back in the day she had a good performance critic/chart wise and didn't need to release western sounding songs. We had Get It On, Koi No Tsubomi, Color of Soul, this is not a love song, Heat... songs from different albums that show a huge versatility, color and not something we heard on music channels and radios.

Kyary is a huge artist and her discography in no way resembles what we listen to the radio nowadays. Bjork is another good example. For me, Kumi going to the westen urban/pop route is her losing her uniqueness.

^Kyary isn't as huge as you think. Her music isn't that good of a seller, and she does complete different music anyways, therefor everything is from one producer since more than 3 albums. It's a whole different story - Kyary is just the voice and face of a certain crafted music.

Someone is messing with her generasia page, it has a "new album" listed. lol

Hey guys! I'm new in this forum. I'm member of Global FC and I've tried the lottery tickets for Tokyo, but I didn't win...

Do you know how can I get 2 tickets for any Tokyo's concerts?

It will be my first time in Japan, and I dont wanna loose the opportunity to see her... :(

Can someone help with that?

:)

DONT EVEN JOKE AT THIS

lol I would die of laugh if that's true

Please let this be another Ayu + Egg scenario.....

You guys know, that this is just trolling?
I'm pretty sure we already had that "rumour" last year and there's also a new original album and a new single for 2017 listed as TBA on generasia - yeah, as would this be likely. And there's still those strange gentei mu-mo releases and a Complete Best listed for her as well...
Besides Kuu herself posted about a new album on her FC, not a new collection album like SoL and WoL officially were called. She was about 2 weeks maybe in the recording studio late November/early December

I just got this from my friend, she bought it with discounted price hahaha
The scent is too adult for me, but the box is very cool. I'm gonna use it in my bedtime only. By the way, I think Love Note version would be better.

@Corvina We know, we're just joking around.

She will probably announce the album during the first week of February, with the album being released around 03.15.2017.

Oh my god i am So Friggen Jealous!!!!
I've been trying to get any of Kuu's perfumes for AGES, but no service will ship them to Canada!!!
I will totally buy that off you.
:gnash:tired:luv2

@kaled kalil:
Well, not all of you...^^"

Kuu is recording again today, she posted about it on her LINE account:

oh, I thought she was done recording songs since she apparently was shotting videos, she just keeps me getting more ansious :heart

I want something like JAPONESQUE again. Not necessarily musically, even though it was awesome, but in the sense of 19 songs with 17 PVs and great packaging. Especially after 2 years with no original album.

^Same here, specially when packaging are getting worse and worse in jpop. Btw, it's been a while since I last saw you in the forum, glad to see you posting again :)

I'm really curious to see if we'll actually get a single before the album since the timing seems a bit tight.

Still recording? Maybe she didnt like some tracks already recorded or they dont go with the theme of the album. I hope we will finaly get a studio version of Cupcake that song is still my jam. Gonna make a new thread now ;)
