more info about this:

To commemorate her debut 10 years ago, navigation service Edia and Koda Kumi are teaming up to sell a portable car navigation system called "KODA KUMI Driving Navi ~Kumi Gumi~"

For this navigation system, Koda herself will be lending her voice for the guidance system. It is a specially made model and for the first time ever, 141 places around the country are registered in the system as "recommended date spots" and each spot will have a comment from Koda specially recorded.

It will be available for sale from March (expected), but members of Koda Kumi's Official Fanclub "Kumi Gumi" as well as her official mobile fanclub "playroom" will be able to order it in advance from February 8, 16:00.

For me the track UNIVERSE is just like what Driving was for Trick.. the best song on the album <3

I loooove this album so effin' much. It feels much less "gimmicky" than TRICK or Kingdom. The ballads especially really shone through! And UNIVERSE has to be one of her best dance songs since TABOO :heart

01. Step In To My World - 4/5 - Okay, what's up with this song? :S I mean, is it SUPPOSED to sound exactly like TRICK or am I just crazy? Idk, was it intentional or did Kuu seriously run out of inspiration for album openings? I mean, regardless, it was awesome cause I love TRICK and this is a pretty awesome arrangement, but really, what's going on? XD
02. Can We Go Back - 3/5 - I don't dislike this song, but it's not one of her strongest rock songs. Still waiting on another Selfish or Ningyo-Hime :yes
03. SUPERSTAR - 5/5 - One of my all-time faves :D This song is amazingly well done. My two year old nephew absolutely loves it too XD He actually sang along to the "I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be" part :heart
04. You're So Beautiful - 3/5 - Kinda generic, but nothing bad about this song at all.
05. Lick Me - 2/5 - It's a good song, but I'm kinda bored of it, and I preferred Lady Go! and With your smile to this.
06. Work It Out! - 4/5 - AWESOME song. It feels a bit weak during the verses but the chorus is just epic. <3 Super catchy too.
07. No Way - 4/5 - AMAZING Ballad from Kuu!!! <33 Can't wait to see this one live. Definitely one of her best.
08. Stay - 3/5 - Another above average ballad. She's really rocking them :)
09. Comes Up - 3/5 - Still needs to grow on me, lsitening to it just makes me want to listen to Baby Don't Cry, which is way better :laugh Still, they're really freakishly similar.
10. Physical Thing - 2.5/5 - Both this and ECSTASY were meh for me. I had brief periods of liking them, but they both try and fail at living up to songs like TABOO and BUT. :no
11. ECSTACY - 2.5/5 - Same as above...
12. UNIVERSE - 5/5 - Now THIS is worthy of living up to TABOO/BUT :yes I knew Kuu could bust out another amazing dance song. It's like TABOO meets Bad Romance meets Get Up&Move, absolutely love <3
13. It's all Love! -2/5 - Never really liked this song, not about to start....
14. Alive - 4/5 - One of Kuu's most epic ballads. It's really classy and more sophisticated than what she usually does, and has more of an impact.

Overall, aweeeeeeesome album :D The tour for this album is going to be amazing, I can already tell. TRICK had a few hard-hitters, which hit HARD (TABOO, Driving, show girl) but UNIVERSE has a bunch of them :) My only complaint is that Good*Day and Faraway should have been included.

Aww, BEST ~third universe~ & 8th AL "UNIVERSE" (that's a lot to type :P) looks so pretty. Thank you for the picture. :)

I won't be getting mine till BoA's new album releases. :(
