Almost there! :D |
The problem with the short hair cuts is getting the wrong style. I like short hair, I have short hair. But, Kuu likes to get hers cut like she did it with the blender. With short hair you really need to make sure the cut suits your face. Also, she's gonna be very busy when her baby is born, short hair is so much easier to manage. Long hair is hell. I hated it.

and not only that, it's summer time! short hair all around lol I have long hair, and it IS a ***** and it's so hot. But I love my hair more than anything so, I don't mind. |
Quote:
Kuu's hair in Hashire is just... :no Except the braid extensions. I love those. |
lol I only go outside if it's >75 F and overcast. I am not a sunny so cal person.
I didn't mind her hashire hair...I don't mind her funky hair if the song/PV is funky lol I did NOT however, like her hair style in Love Technique...That needed cute/pretty hairstyles. |
I love the sun~
Except the whole part where too much gives you cancer, lol. Kuu's Moon era hair was nice. I love the black bob. |
My hair is getting quite long now...and it's hell in warmer weather. You can tie it up etc, but if you have thinner hair it 'wilts' quickly and needs constant attention. Even if you have thicker hair, it does wilt. It looks less obvious but causes problems with the condition of your hair later and does need more looking after. So I'm not surprised she's cut it lol
It looks nice anyway. I wish it was a more styled cut and not as blonde, but meh. |
I guess I'm one of the few that like kuu's hair in general, whether it's short or not. I think she can pull off the short hair in general. I wish it was maybe a little more brown, but once that baby comes, she's going to be glad it's short lol.
My hair is about how long Namie's is, but definitely not as nice and it's curly. I'm so thankful it's not hot in New York yet. |
I actually like kuu's hair long at short. She's gone back to the same style she had in 2007, which I loved! I think it's just in that picture it looks like the roots need dying and it looks a bit frayed, just needs some treatment to it. She always uses extensions anyway. :) You saw her hair was long all the time in Black Cherry era when actually I think her hair was chin short, but she wore extensions all the time.
I don't think I've ever disliked any of kuu's haircuts hahaha. |
I like her best ss hair and always will. oh, and Secret era of course. I don't need anything else :)
|
I love Kuu's black with blonde patch hair. It looks so good on her. I always see it as more of her "signature" look.
|
^ me too. ohh the golden times...

MOON era hair was nice, though if she had long hair in That Ain't Cool she would have looked much hotter. |
Kuu with long hair is always amazing. I really love that 2006 hair she had. I also love her secret era hair (I even dyed mine to look like that haha). Short hair really isn't Kuu's thing imo. Long hair suits her a lot better. :)
|
I think she cut her hair becuase it gets hot when your pregnant.. alot of women cut their hair when they are pregnant. And I know Japan gets SUPER hot right about this time haha.. and being this far along she was probably miserable. I know I would probably cut my hair!
PLus babies grab probably a precaution for that haha i know my sister nearly ripped mine out O_O! I like these pictures popping up. Its natural Kuu. you know, not glam Kuu just her enjoying herself beng happy piging out :) i like them! |
You're right! It just fits the best to her lifestyle right now.
That pic is adorable! I like her new hair colour. Actually I don't mind her hair, I like both, short and long. Kuu needs just like anybody else the proper styling. As long as it isn't too short. I don't like manly short hair on women. TRICK tour anyone? That was bad. But the same hair looked rather good in Hashire! and in the photoshoot for Barfout. Though overall I have a soft spot for long hair! Especially cause Kuu rocks it. |

I love her anytime hair, she makes an amazing blond especially short
or her current hair rn, like during Japonesque I hated Moon's black short cut, her mullet and that awful hair during her Dejavu promotions X__X |
Quote:
|
^ Erika Sawajiri, non? :)
I like Kuu Strawberry Blond like Can We Go Back. it looked sweet on her. much better. I like this kind of strawberry blond more than Ayu type now |
Quote:
|
BEST ~SS~ was very good but I will say I was very happy with that glamorous curly look she had recently. I always knew if she did a hairstyle similar to Ayu's during A BEST 2 / Mirrorcle World era it would look fantastic on her.

kuu is already 8 month pregnant? it's so fasttt....

^omg can you please upload the PV version of Cutie Honey? I love that!! please please :(
|
random but i saw this comment on tumblr and it kind of pissed me off
i wanted to reply and tell them off but meh it's not worth it. but seriously.. so much ignorance. sometimes i don't take her seriously, but songs like "You're so beautiful" and "You are not alone" are written so beautifully.. and make me take her a lot more seriously. she also has an amazing voice and not all of her songs are about sex and love.. she also writes some hopeful and inspiring stuff. (ie Comes up and the songs i previously mentioned) do most of you guys not take her seriously too? i know a lot of fans just flock to her for her sexual songs and don't care about anything else. but personally i think she's a lot more than that.. and i definitely think she deserves to be taken seriously. |
I only really "love" her more "sexual" songs, but I definitely appreciate her serious songs even if I don't like the way they sound. She has a really big heart and kind of has this refreshing optimistic point of view even after all these years in the industry. Actually, that POV usually annoys me, but for some reason Kumi pulls it off for me. :laugh
|
Why aren't more people voting for Black Candy for other?? What a tragedy it will be if she never performs that song live. Come on people, it would be ****ing hot!

from here : http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3747005.html I voted for mostly fast tracks like the rest of us, lol to counter balance her Japanese fans but we are still small XD |
^holy***buckets she's fabulous :heart
I'm glad she's back. ot...anyways... |
I am curious now. Is there any Koda Kumi's song that she has never performed in tour or in live?
|
Quote:
Well I believe she did perform it live but there's no footage of it I believe. Not sure about other songs, maybe there are some b-side songs she never performed? |
Quote:
But, honestly, just look at that person's bio or whatever. They look like they are trying too hard and I wouldn't take them seriously. Some crap about their tumblr being the place where they stitch their wounds? Emo kids need to keep off the internet. Here is the link for Cutie Honey (PV Version). Its a rip of the PV file, so its 192kbps. I added mine to the secret album, but tagged it as being on the "second disk", like it was a PV. So, I have both versions. |
^ thank youuu :heart I'm gonna replace it on my secret album too :yes
|
Quote:
The only a-side we don't have a performance is JUICY, but she performed at a-nation'06, it was the 1st song. (Well... There is Lies too, but no one cares about this song, sadly). I really want a performance of Rock your body, this song is too good to be forgotten. I know she already performed on a Korean show, or something like that, but we don't have more than 10 seconds of that. XD My ultimate list: JUICY, Rock your body and No Regret. I'll die happy if I could see all those songs on the same concert. |

I would love it if kuu could just preform an album a night. That would be the ultimate tour for me.

Quote:
And I was struggling to find any type of tracklist for Let's Party. The rest should be right as I managed to get wiki tracklistings for the tours/shows from Black Cherry onwards. |
Yeah, the rest is right. XD
She did a concert in 2002 but we don't have any footage of that (I saw some pictures, but I can't find it right now): Quote:
|
^Wow, I never knew she did a concert in 2002. I bet it was a Zepp concert like First Class Live, Live Tour 2005 and Live Tour 2006-2007. Nice tracklisting. I hope that someday some videos will pop up somewhere so we could see how she did "feel me". Man, I wish she could sing it live someday... ;_; Hmm, what does that BGM mean? o.O
Quote:
Quote:
I'm also a sucker for her ballads. It's a matter of taste but I seriously don't understand why so many people can't stand them. They're so deep and beautiful after all! I can relate to almost every one of those. I really like that she always seems to have a certain theme behind her sexy songs as well (like with Physical thing it was loneliness) so she's a really deep person after all. I seriously can't understand the hate for this girl. It seems like people know nothing about Kuu and their reasons to hate her are sometimes so ridiculous I want to lol my ass off. :'D |
OMG she did Go Together, feel me and It's too late live!? I never knew about it.
How could they not shoot/release it >___< |
Quote:
And plus, I find his comment ironic when the blog he is posting on is called 'Violence Rapes me'. xD I take all of kuu songs (apart from some of her cutesy songs) Seriously. Not like, SO SRS, but I know the message she tried to bring across in her music, sometimes a message only kuu fans can read. :) |
Personally, I admire females who risk having the "*****" image to make sexual songs that are actually about empowerment and confidence.
I just had deja vu writing this post. lol |
Quote:
|
I love all her songs. Her songs about heartbreak, her songs about bottle humping, her songs about staying optimistic even after sadness has come. She's versatile.
|
@drdolce I believe that BGM stands for Background Music, like a interlude
Oh man, It's too late and feel me on the same concert, this must have been so amazing <3 |

seeing all the votes here makes me so curious for what the final setlist will be...:heart
Quote:

You know it was 2 months in December... So she is only technically 7 months pregnant because the article I read said she was 2 months pregnant on dec 18th meaning her baby should be born in july unless she got date of conception wrong which most people do haha! And now they are correcting themselves because im wondering where that extra month went.
|
^ whoa
She may give birth in the same month (maybe same day) as my friend! |
I need a new poppin cherry love womb coochie single from this broad

Are there those from other albums? |
Omggg time really does fly by. I can't believe she's already 7 months along. I cannot wait for post-preggers music/lives. I cannot wait to see Escalate live, I hope it's an opening song, but I doubt it.
|
Quote:
EDIT: I'm also curious as to why the Dejavu character is missing her hat, lol. Also, the hair for Kingdom and the second Japonesque characters are wrong. |
Quote:
|
Those cartoon characters are so cute and so Kuuish~ ^_^
|
from the first day of her pregnancy , I said i'll buy a cake and celebrate the day she gives birth :luv2
i wish we could send her gifts too :heart |
Kuu is in her 8th month of pregnancy.
She said it herself in the message for the Birthday Live tour. Quote:
It's so underrated! There are so much songs, especially her older ones, that I want to see her perform and sing with her current voice. I do take Kuu serious as an artist, as a whole. Her image has a certain meaning, it's not cluelessly sexy and trashy. Being who you are, being or getting strong and confident, find yourself. A big part of her image is about going your way as a female in the men dominated (japanese) world or also getting accepted as being different and imperfect. There's a reason why she has so much female fans as opposed to the ****ty image. She isn't as deep as someone like Ayu, but she also isn't as shallow as some people think. |
I love Lies, I wish she would perform it one day.
|
omg those characters are soo cute!
and i like Lies too. i wouldn't mind a performance of it either! |
I know! Must make koda hello kitties.
|
Looks like Kumi's hubby has been busy. BACK-ON is releasing their new single tomorrow, though its "today" Japan time.
|
^ Busy in a different way, now? :lech
|
Quote:
|
^ Yeah, a veeeeery good glimpse :laugh And they're also releasing an album by the end of May. I expected Kumi to be featured on their next full release, but seems like this is not happening, I wasn't expecting an album with so few singles, and considering the first one is like 8 months old already.
I like Lies, but it sounds too generic for Kumi imo... If she performs it someday, cool; if I not, I won't mind. |

Quote:
I really do hope we get to know soon after the baby is born and if it's a boy or girl. And it would be awesome if we could see pictures, but I know a lot of people are very private when it comes to that. I really hope she has a girl! |
Does anyone have any pictures of kuu when she had the strawberry pink/blonde hair? I want to dye my hair that color.
|
I want her to preform Okay. If she preforms that song I will die happy. lol
|
^ She's already perfomed it on Dejavu tour, right after Lollipop, if I'm not wrong
|
I need a 9 singles for PREGNANCY collection:
Single 01 - PREGNANT Single - 02 - Gone on a Date Single 03 - Married and on =D For kuu's credit, she got married with someone hot, since all of her boyfriends till then were hideous. |

Oh, finally JAPONESQUE passed 150,000! So happy~ :heart

apparently the next album is gonna be a X'mas themed one with covers of English and Japanese songs and is gonna drop this winter
and she wrote a new song that is Christmasy a recorded preview live of White Christmas from a rehearsal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y87TJYYKyC4 got the info from here, the person is working with her? idk even Ayu's Timmy posted in this forum so I am gonna believe him *__* http://jpopcentral.yuku.com/topic/12...8#.T6r7zOtSQUs |
White Xmas is an old record btw, she released years ago on playroom as a ringtone, I'm really happy she's finally releasing the full song. And I love xmas albums, so I'm pretty excited!
|
the song sounds promisin, but a whole xmas album... also that's sooo far from now...
|
I don't know if I want this to be real or not.. I'm torn hmmmmm I was hoping she'd release a winter ballad single for a comeback but this is interesting I guess.. she apparently wrote a christmas song called yakusoku too
|
Hurray for 150,000 copies of Japonesque!
Also, I always get the PV for Lies and No Regret confused. I think Lies is the one with the stripper getting knives thrown at her, right? I always wonder if Kuu is really comfortable with her sexy image, like in that PV? Like, does she want to be more conservative, but avex makes her be that way. Or does she love being sexy still? I know it was her idea, I just sometimes wonder her comfort level with it. Quote:

Die for a x'mas themed album! :luv2
|
A Christmas album with English covers? Oh no, here comes the Engrish.
Was I the only one that thought she wasn't saying "Venus" in the 15th track of Trick? Sounded as something else at first (guess what it is). |
I do like her cover of Got to be Real.
|
^ Me too. And her english sounds good when she wants too, like in Sayonara no mukougawa. She just doesn't care about pronouncing things properly while singing and dancing, but in her ballads, she manages to do a great job. The same goes for Namie btw.
