Trust you

damn that reply was fast... X______x this thread is crazy for real, No wonder there's a new thread every 10 seconds... lmao Thank you! ^_^

Thanks so much for the video!

I always heard "RELAX" not "LAID BACK." Wow, actually, I had no idea she was saying half of those English words until I just saw that performance. Amazing. I loved how she looked though and loved her dance! :heart

"TRUST YOU" is one of my favorite songs and PV's of Kuu's. She looks super hot in it!!!

Yeah she does! ^_^

you might like kiseki, it's in the middle for me. :shrug

out of her newer ballads i really like ai no kotoba even though i think i'm the only one. and faraway is nice too!

i like the beginning of ai no kotoba, the instrumental is nice. when she gets loud, it ruins the song for me because she sings higher than she normally does.

That's my exact opinion on the song too. Beautiful arrangement, too high / screechy of vocals.

she usually sings live lower than recorded... maybe if she sang it at TRICK tour it'd sound a lot better.

that's exactly like i love it! the final(?) "todoku you ni" is so pretty.



i would love a studio recording of this.

i love that video, she looks absolutely beautiful and that song is pretty. her voice gets rough at times, but i think it's a great performance.

I really like trust you, this song is amazing. I was listening to Koda Kumi at the time Secret came out but I never heard this song for some reason. lol Gosh, this should have been a single. -_-

I had a renewed love for Trust You a little while ago. I had really overlooked it too lol

but it's a great song <3

ehh, I only like the beginning of Trust you xD I lose interest about 30 seconds in though. Maybe I should try to sit through the whole song to see if I like it.

i really like the very beginning of trust you, the rest is just okay imo.

Wow, and I thought I was the only one who thought it was REMIX in ECSTASY too LMAO

I love the whole Trust You song. It's awesome. One of my favourities on secret. :D

And I love Kiseki. It's one of the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard and PV is beautiful (it's the first PV I saw of Kuu) and Kuu's voice is delicious. *__*

as much as I want that to happen , it will be impossible

why ? because this week , Johnny's latest temporary unit NYC boys, Yuma Nakayama w/ B.I. Shadow will be releasing their single Akuma na Koi / NYC & already , both CD + DVD's are outta print on CDJapan

& there's Suga Shikao's Party People , BREAKERZ's Hikari that will be stomping the charts tomorrow (:heart for the both of them) so tough luck on 3 SPLASH to get #1 this week :(

I agree, I love Trust you :yes

^ same here! My fav part is in the middle!

thank you! time for a new icon :)

or you can screenshot scenes from koi no tsubomi!

haha yeah for my comic lolll :roflmao

yay thank youu!!

she looks gorgeous :yes ty for the scans!

Oh wow! Thanks for the scans! I love the last picture the most! :heart

i found a couple of dresses online that kuu wore recently, both made by herve leger. i don't know much about fashion but his designs are distinct.

here's the dress that she wore to the subaru event with meisa kuroki

here's the dress that she wore in the ECSTASY live on Music Fighter
http://i28.tinypic.com/33nudfs.jpg

cool find!

those dresses are so expensive! i love the black one. but i guess it's better than seeing kuu show up to her events/lives wearing her clothes from ross :laugh

the black one is just above kuu's knees on her because she's so short :laugh

I hatehatehate Lick Me </3 and Hashire D< ugh. They are really annoying songs and annoying videos.

But I REALLY like Ecstasy. And the fact she has Best ~first session~ hairr xD it made me happy n_n and the song is catchy to~

^I feel the exact same way. Lick me is freakin annoying. Hashire....I dont really have that much of a problem with but its forgettable. Ecstasy is <3. For sure. Awesome song. Awesome PV.

oh god! that's right. :roflmao

and Hashire PV is her best video ever !! :heart
i love this much more than ECSTASY's

the scans are fantastic , thanks a lot :D

where does she have best ~first things~ hair? :laugh the mullet with the extentions?

:laugh I always hear "Remix". I don't hear "Laid Back". They don't even sound the same.

^For real. I went over that part like, 20 times. I didn't hear "laid back" in any possible way.

^I know right! I dont get where laid back is coming from. Take out the booklets in your copy of 3 Splash everyone and cross out 'laid back' and put 'remix' :roflmao

i can actually hear "raid back" now. the subete from the next line kind of meshes together with the end of back. kuu's engrish :shrug

3 SPLASH
1st week sales: 62,576
rank: #2

2nd week
1st day sales: 2,539
rank: #2

Uh...I dont follow sales but is a 60k drop from the 1st to 2nd week bad? @_@. I keep thinking her total sales are very good.

^ I always hear "REMIX". I can't imagine it's "LAID BACK". She pronounce like "REEE BAEK"

wow the sales aren't bad!! *-*

someone has uploaded ECTASY live at YouTube XDD
looks much better than the other two that I put before.

^Who was the person who said she looked bored in the Ecstasy performance? She looke pretty energetic to me :shrug

and yeah....now that I'm hearing the live (in good quality) I can actually hear the "reed bag" Guess it was "laid back" after all

Oh thank you! :yatta

She looks so pretty, thank you so much.

Is that a new performance? D:

^ No it's more slightly more HQ than the tudou rip.

And sales... ah, I suppose it'll sell 1-3k~ for this week every day...

Yeah..I really hope it charts for another while, though.

I don't want to see that it has stopped charting in like, 2 weeks.

That would be terrible.

I enjoy listening to the Hashire! remix more than the original LOL

nah I don't think that will happen at all since Koda's quite a well established artiste now

gone were the days when her debut single like TAKE BACK & etc tanked horribly which's a pity as I enjoyed her older works just as much as her recent works

lol, she has funny mouth motions when she dances x]

Those scans are nearly perfect.
This is one of the best photoshoots she ever had for a magazine, maybe even the best one.
Thanks a lot, I love them! :heart

3 SPLASH down to #13..
many new releases today

guys... sorry for this.. but my friend ripped the ECSTASY live by youtube and it's more quality.. if someone wish it T_T

top 50 albums of '09

*7 *,387,043 ***,470 TRICK / 倖田來未 09/01/28

TRICK has re-entered the chart , selling wise

^isnt it ironic that 3 SPLASH is not selling well and trick is back to sells

wow now i can complain thats even lower than annas holy shiznet

is it the same one as the last one?
well then thanks again

not really , at least 3 SPLASH's somewhat helping TRICK to bound back into the chart

it's usually the singles that tend to sell poorer than the albums nowadays

it's different if you're a Johnny's band

no it's not ironic , it always has been the norm for Johnny's singles to sell much much more than their albums

If you know how the Idol business in Japan works , nothing will surprise you on that but of course if you're not , it's different

Since TRICK has returned back to the chart , I wonder can it hit 390K or not

Thanks for it. I haven't see it yet. She looks HOT!:lech

ECSTASY Caramel Pod E Remix is awesome like Come Over [Caramel Pod Club Mix] from Driving Hit's.

Kuso, I need to order new single as I haven't bought it yet. Shame on me. I think I'll order it with new Ayu's single...:thud

^ you're welcome ^^ kuu looks really HOT in this live :luv2 seriously, I can't stop watching it xD

nop! it's a rip of YouTube (MQ) and the another was ripped of tudou (LQ) ^^

The Ecstasy performance is hot. I never would have guessed there were so many english words in Ecstasy though :laugh

^ yeah same lol

Thanks for the performance Tsubasa & thanks Karen for the TRICK sales figures! Good to know it's still charting :D

There's about.. 17 new releases today just in the top 50 so no wonder 3 SPLASH dropped to #13. Hopefully it can still sell 1-2kish each day this week & have a long chart life.

3 SPLASH ISO screenshots :


nothing special, but i love so much the second one *_*


Kuu @ OH! MY RADIO yesterday :

She's so cute!!! I love how normal she looks in the radio pics! I wish I could listen to Japanese radio regularly... All my favorites have shows! Well, besides Ayu lol.


PS.

Saw the ECSTASY performance! WANT her outfit! I'd snatch it right off her if I were in the audience lol.

you can have the dress for the low low price of 1,600$ :) well, according to those pictures that cutie posted

there is a youtube channel that has all shows of kuuchan in OH! MY RADIO, if you wish ^^

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=KKoKumi&view=videos

^^ Juicy, You buy the dress for me & jbrat, deal? :D

Kuu looks so cute in those pictures! I love her outfit (minus the scarf XD)

did that kuu x yamapi show ever get subbed? :( karen!!

What the hell?! :thud

Thank you! I hope my Japanese listening skills are ready for this T_T/

Kumi speaks way too fast for me sometimes!

That sounds good to me ^-^b

yeah.... NO. :laugh i will have my husband gubsi buy it for you!

http://i28.tinypic.com/33nudfs.jpg

High fashion is such a rip off! For all that money, they better give me matching shoes, handbag, accessories, a leather jacket and a car! :irked

i really love the ECSTASY performance, i've watched it so many times! i love the bounce move she does in the beginning when it goes "burnin up burnin up" it's amazing how she doesn't fall over dancing in those shoes.. i mean, look at those heels! she's been at it for years though.

there's another performance of it on Music Station this friday, i'm hoping for another stylish outfit! hopefully a longer performance, too!

http://i32.tinypic.com/167uik3.jpg

looks scary... look how small the dancer's heels are.

whoa.. Kuu-chan looks cute without make-up..
YAY!! more ECSTASY performance!!

:laugh that is really scary.. there's not many dancers who can sing while dancing, let alone sing while dancing in extremely high heels. kuu is amazing though

i love the live perf's dance better than the one in the pv.. i love the "so so so" parts and how the dancers move with her. i just realized the bouncing thing she did during 'burning up'.
how cute!

I honestly don't know how she does it! Then again, she's so small it's probably not hard. I think having good muscle tone has a lot to do with it, too.

I'm a kuu fan and she definitely deserves all the success she has now. Her music has been really good since her debute album. Definitely looking forward to her future releases. :)

the platforms probably help too. they give the illusion that your heel is not as high as it really is, but most people still wouldn't be able to even walk in those so.. :shrug

i can't wait for the next perf! i'm getting kind of sick of her performing lick me tbh.

I'm slow as heck....but I just heard the preview of Alive and I'm already in love.

TOTALLY AGREE !!! my fave part of this live.
hopefully get the ECSTASY performance at MSta in HQ like Lick me's :weep

edit::. OH GOD! xheartstation, i love your set sooo much!! :luv2 butterflies in the sig are ♥

^Thanks! I really just love those tour book pictures....and I forgot who but I think it was juicy who introduced them to me a long time ago. I may be wrong because I associate everything related to Kumi here at AHS with juicy for some reason

wow gorgeous set xheartstation! i like the little butterfly. did you make it?

^Thank you and yeah i made it as I've been bored lately and I really love the pictures.

:laugh So true.

Yay another ECSTASY performance. I can't wait tbh.

ummm not yet

whenever there're new entries made/posted by http://newshfan.livejournal.com/ , I will be notified but so far Wendy hasn't subbed that yet

either that or she's unable to find a raw video/clip to do so :(

@juicy:

yes *__*
