I really love that 2nd CM, it's so prettyyyyyyy :love

Well whoever directs those CMs needs to be promoted to a PV director and put to use asap. :laugh

the new cm is really cool!! (*-*)

"HERE COMES THAT GLITTER AGAIN!"

I love the CMs!! I hope her pv is this good too!

:roflmao

YES!!!

I like this idea. :yes

The CM's are so beautiful,they are so pretty and glittery*-*

Anyone knows where can I see the CM's from the other FEVER LIVE IN HALL?

http://www.sankyo-fever.co.jp/specia...ll/index2.html

i think the new commercials are better, although the old ones did use two songs, so i wonder if there will be another song used for the promotion of the second live in hall.

the commercials are really nice, although they could have used more extensions instead of just some at the bottom, and it'd look better without the short hair tucked behind her ears... but i'm nitpicking, she looks good and the commercials are really nice!

^Thanks cutie!It seems that they like butterflies~I love these commercials*-*

yeah, it's a theme, i guess. all of this is really making me want to re-watch the first fever live in hall! i'll do that later today. :) the fact that we haven't gotten covers or any PVs yet is making me nervous that they're going to postpone it again... i hate when they do that.

OMG kumi's hair in the CMs is gorgeous. that's how her hair should ALWAYS be! long :yes such pretty CMs.

I'm not gonna lie, I am in love with the Fever II CMs. They are stunning!

Wow! Those are pretty cms. O.O

OIC. Thanks

I laughed a little too hard when I heard that..

wow, the 2nd cm is really great o_o. that person should direct pv's...

in the DVD for the first live in hall, Takashi Tadokoro is credited under LIVE MOVIE CREW, and the movie was basically just all the scenes from the commercials together, plus that bit about FREAKY before the encore.

he also directed many of her videos, such as BUT, FREAKY, TABOO and Ningyohime. given the theme and similarities of the commercials, he's probably doing it this time around too. his work isn't that consistent, and the budget greatly effects what he can come up with. he directed the 4 "story" PVs from Kingdom, and we all know how those turned out.

http://www.exflare.com/tadokoro/archive/drc_CM.html

here's his webpage, he's directed a lot of CMs for her.

^BUT, FREAKY, TABOO and Ningyohime? I LOVE all these PV's of her! :love

And yes, FEVER LIVE II CM's are really Great! Ist FEVER CM's was great as well!

the CM is whooooshhhhhhhh

xD yeah it does look like Faraway
but let's be honest...the flying in Faraway looked cheap, not in this cm
lol


love the 3rd cm :yes

The CMs are amazing :thud I love them.

OMG~ look her nails! how lovely~~
and the butterfly effects so great!

The CMs have been great!

Does anyone know where the thread of It's all love!... as in the download for it is? I tried search and I found nothing lol.

wow great CMs! :love

Woow CM are very great!!

Thanks Luver!!

@__@ ONE OF THE BEST CM SHE EVER HAD!!

I love the CM's.

I'm also very happy that It's all Love!, TRICK, OUT WORKS and Driving Hit's are still selling. Good for those. :)

you can download it via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88042

^ Thanks! Page 12... lol I was at the first 10 pages then I went to Page 15... LOL

The CM's are pretty ^^

Pretty CMs! Can't wait for the concert though :yes.

The CMs are great!

And i want the cover of the new single! >_<
(I´ve ordered the CD+DVD Version A \o/)

LOL. Those CMs are so over the top, I love them. :tipsy

Can anyone lead me in the right direction to where I can download her new single? I tried looking and searching in the downloads section, but I can only find the radio rip; and I'd like something better than that. :/

^ Are you talking about 'It's all Love!' or '3 SPLASH?' Because only ecstacy and Lick me have radio rips right now.

lol you can download scans of the CD only pertaining to It's all Love ! in my jpop scans thread too

^ Will do! ;) Thanks lol~

Um... I have this sudden desire to hug Kuu... I don't know I feel kinda moody now and I know doing that is gonna make me happy lol!

And does anyone have a screen shot of Kuu giving that lol-smile/smirk when she caught her BF making out with men in the PV for TABOO? It's so cutie and I want to use it for reference lol!

I KNOW RIGHT! :laugh I thought that was great!

THEY ARE GORGEOUS!!! :thud Seriously, those have got to be the best CMs I've ever seen! She looks amazing! Her outfit, jewelry, NAILS! I really don't even mind her hair! She looks stunning! :heart

I'm not gonna like, I'm a *tad* bit excited for this single though I don't follow Kuu much anymore :)

The regular CD+DVD is my favorite(which isn't saying much...;x) Not feeling the pouch cover at all :no

OH NO :(

they pulled an Aira Mitsuki Barbie Barbie.

uh...ew. No comment.

The CD+DVD cover is my favourite, but why is she holding a basketball? Lol.

Maybe we will find out when we see the pv, hehe.

She sure loves balls doesn't she?

I didn't expect the covers to be like these...was expecting splashes of water. The cd and cd+dvd cover (minus the mouth) looks nice but not the pouch one...omg. If she really have to hold something, I think it would of been better if it was ice cream or lollypop to fit lick me...and not another ball...which we already have on the cd+dvd cover.

Oh my god -___-
I don't really like these cover! Damn it!
If I have to do a choice, I prefer CD+DVD, so cool.

Eww, the pouch cover is awful =O And I don't really like the CD only one because of her outfit + hairstyle (long hair back please T_T)
The CD+DVD is pretty good though <3

they're really bad and boring. i don't like her face in that pic with the basketball, she's trying too hard.

The pictures themselves are all right, but I don't like how the title is all over them. Wish that it was more than just her in front of a white wall, but with the font all over the image like that a different color wouldn't have worked. Except maybe black and that would be too dark.

Hmm...That's 2 singles in a row with a white background. TABOO was like that too.

pouch cover is ooooogly. cd+dvd isn't bad in my opinion, i like it. but only the cd+dvd cover...haha.

the background, or lack there of, is really boring me.

taboo, it's all love, driving hits, collabo best, stay with me...

they're all so plain...bah. but if the font is like, a shimmery type of thing, that's be kinda cool. but having it just plain text is a bit meh. but it's better than the font for freaky :P

The covers aren't that terrible IMO. I just don't like how the title is like, on the whole entire cover. And the backgrounds could use some good work.

~thnx for the covers!
CD Only is my favorite!!:luv2 Then CD+DVD and the one with Pouch is my last favorite. And I'm probably gonna order only CD+DVD ('cause of remixes & CD+DVD+Pouch 'cause of the Pouch).

Overall I really like covers. I do not understand all this hate. :shakehead
The one thing is ugly on these covers is - font all over Kumi! Like on her 2008 Calendar. Are they retarded doing it again!?:irked

I think the best of the 3 is the one with the pouch. Unfortunately it's sold out already on Cdjapan :( Nevermind, I guess I'll just get the CD+DVD. The CD only is the worst though :no The outfit is hideous enough and the color of the font that doesn't match with what she's wearing isn't helping either.

Thanks for posting the covers! I don't know what to say about them... Eh, not my favorit covers? But not the worst either, not at all. My favorite is the "pouch cover", it seems like almost no one likes it. xD My least favorite from those is CD+DVD cover, because I think her expression is kinda weird. CD only cover is OK. :)

1. I like kuu in the CD+DVD cover.
2. The other covers are AWFUL
3. White backgroud AGAIN?
4. They were lazy to find a cool font.

UGH

Thanks for posting them.

EDIT:

For my
1. I thought I liked kuu in the CD+DVD cover but it seems like her mouth will ruin it >_<.
We will see in the high quality cover.

Thanx for covers! :D
Oh the covers are very unexpected! :O
BUT i like them, i think the CD+DVD+Remix Version

I think the 3 Kumi's represents the 3 songs!
CD only is Hashire! (rockish theme)
CD+DVD+Remix is ECSTASY (sexy/cool theme)
CD+DVD+Pouch is Lick me (cute theme)

I like the CD Only and the regular CD+DVD covers. In ther Pouch cover she looks too much like Ayu to me and I don't like it at all. :D But anyway, the covers are at least slightly different and I think it makes it easier for fans to buy these. For me the best cover is the regular CD+DVD. Kuu looks cool. :3

Btw, what's this talk about Kuu having a ball with her in the cover again? I think I've missed something because I haven't seen pics of Kuu holding a ball so much. o.O

Ugh, I hate the covers ;__;
The text is awful :/
Really not what I was hoping for/expecting.

i absolutely love the CD & CD+DVD covers!! dang!! now i want the PVs!!!

wow! the covers are really good! the one I don't relly like is cd only. but they are so great that it makes me want to buy the single >.<" but I'm not really fond of the songs... theh're repetetive and blunt.

The covers are nice!!!:) My fav is the CD only :)

Vote for your fav---->http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90556

oh god, the text is bad, really bad :( but the pics are good.

i'm loving the pouch cover, and the regular cd+dvd though :yes

i was thinking the same too :D

^ me too but I just hope the outfits aren't like that in the PV D: I want them to be different and not recycled!
Kuu looks nice on the covers but if the font wasn't covering everything and we had a nice background, they'd be pretty awesome
My fave is the CD+DVD <3 Long hair Kuu owns you all~ >=3

am I the only one that really likes the CD only (thank goodness I'm getting that in due time <3) . She looked like a HOT rock chick in there

CD + DVD - real nice & very summer-ish , like she's ready to go to the beach

CD + DVD / pouch - er what's that she's wearing ? T_T

I really like the covers but the text...
I don't like what they did with the text :no

Thanks for the covers!
Always early, like that.

Regular CD+DVD is my favourite, CD only the 2nd.
The one with the pouch is my least ( and I preordered it), I only like her hair and her facial expression on it. I don't think that's a ball she's holding. Looks like a lollipop or kind of thing, it's all shiny. :shrug
But why is the font covering Kuu as a whole? It would be better if the font is behind her.

Covers aren't bad, I like them, but I hoped for something similar to FREAKY, complete pictures, colorful and summerish.

yeah the text kinda ruined everything

just like NEWS's SUMMER TIME covers

it's a bowling ball xD




karen ~ omg totally :faint
I wish instead the font would be in the background

the ball that Koda's holding the limited CD + DVD , it looks like those huge weaving balls that cats like to play o_O

either that or I have to wait for HQ / bigger covers to see what type it's

totally man except for NEWS's case , it's multiple coloured while for Koda's case it's not

I frankly take Koda's 3 SPLASH covers over NEWS's anytime of the day xD

@_@ too much text...
it's like vogue cover magazine.....

but CD+DVD+pouch so cutee! love it~~ :D

Geez these are horrible covers.

CD Only looks awkward. Pouch is odd. CD+DVD is the only one that looks nice to me but the text ruins it.

Meh - whatever.

Because people at JPM think that? :laugh
I don't know what it is and I don't think it's a bowling ball. Why would they take a bowling ball, where's the connection to the songs or to summer?
We have to wait for HQ covers.

thank god kuu doesnt wear her covers in her PVs (probably except It's All Love!)

well I think it's bowling ball lol
HQ covers will reveal the truth xD

hmmm...you wanna have fun during summer so you go and play bowling? :laugh I honestly don't know the connection. only koda knows LOL.

:roflmao
you know I really like leena's (elepop) idea about the text
it would be awesome if it was on the case instead of on the picture

Yeah, but I don't wanna go playing bowling in summer, I play bowling mostly (well, always) in autumn or winter, it's inside. XD
And i'm sure Kuu doesn't choose the set or her clothes or anything, that's her staff.

:laugh
I don't have enough imagination this morning to find a connection ... xD

the thing that is bugging me though...I think it's a bowling ball but on the other hand it must be pretty heavy :S (the way she holds it)

I thought J-One Records have terrible people that deals with graphics but even avex's guilty of doing so T_T

I think some of the people on AHS can do a much better graphics job than this :laugh

Sorry, I don't wanna bugging you (it's already afternoon here)! XD

That's a good point, a bowling ball is too heavy to hold it like that.
Hm, I can't believe it's one, there's no clue for that. :shakehead
What does Avex thinks making such a photo and confusing us? :laugh

:laugh
she should hold a lollipop instead. less confusing and it would fit with the title Lick Me
xD

karen ~ :roflmao
to me it feels like they really didn't know where to put the text lol

yeah it's annoying isn't it ? T_T

:roflmao

hey it might be a big Lollipop in that pic , you never know

I kinda have a feeling that all the 3 outfits she wore in all the covers , she might be wearing them in the PVs themselves ? :shrug

:luv2 Actually I think they are really nice! My favorite is the CD cover, then CD+DVD and well ... CD+DVD+Pouch is a bit :shakehead Kinda reminds me of Britney Spears' "If You Seek Amy" videoclip. XD

WOW! despite the horribly big font, lol, the covers are really cute! CD+DVD is my most favorite. her hair is just :luv2 the pouch one is cute too! i just pray that the CD only cover isn't kuu's look for the "Ecstasy" PV :irked

muhaha looks like I was right, it's a bowling ball :D
:laugh

so now we have to find a connection...LOL.

the font is really getting on my nerves...

What's the third song? And i think there's no connection...

Hashire!

Oh yayyy this single has interludes too!! YAY :D
The bigger pics are nicer but the text is still :no CD+DVD is still my fave :D

I wonder if they'll update her site with 3 SPLASH theme or still keep it as TRICK?

what happened to the outdoor photoshoot :headache

i don't like cd only but the two cd+dvds look nice. the basketball kuu is so cute. her body looks bangin :love

Hmmmm does this mean that there are no instrumentals like 4 hot wave?
