i can't think of one ballad pv by kuu i dislike.. i love yume no uta / futari de, hands, promise.. :heart

i even like moon crying. it made me so sad when i first saw it :(

edit: well.. i don't really like MORE. :shrug

love your set, juicy! her hair there kinda looks like her hair in the *** scene of ECSTASY.

i dislike stay with me. the whole ugly disappearing boyfriend thing, coupled with her awful bangs ruined it for me. i think you and Promise are my favorites.

thanks :love

stay with me's alternate version is much better than the original (no ugly guy) but i agree about her bangs. though, they didn't really bother me in show girl's pv when she had the fur coat on.

you gotta love the fake "OMG!" moment in stay with me where she runs over to her table to check her phone :laugh

i think the pv is a lot better if you watch it when you're in a good mood so you can laugh at the silliness of it. i do like the scene where she is at the window, though. she looks cute.

middle parts are bad enough, but she has a round face so it just makes it so much worse :no

I actually love Moon Crying's PV the most... some parts were funny (I'm weird?) but some parts were really sad too. I loveeee the lyrics most though. :heart

And Kuu dominates cha-uta! XD

some went up, some went down. still 12!

Does anyone else here like the song "come back"? I loved the song the first time I heard it. Although I'm annoyed with how Kuu just screams in the chorus D: I love the instrumentation to nonetheless.

No one said she didn't have crappy ballad PVs. And I'm guessing CAROLS was brought up because like "Alive" it's a beautiful song but the PV didn't do it justice.

Also, no one is comparing any artists, we're just talking about PVs.

ahh okay, i never saw the pv for it.

i know, but i've been seeing a lot lately especially in the Sunrise/Sunset threads but i'm not gonna say it there because people are just gonna pounce lol.
yes! i heard it before but it never really stuck. then when the tracklist for Dirty Ballroom came out, i listened to it again and fell in love. her voice sounds different in it because it's from her early days, but i really love it. i wanna come back for you~

come back is BEAUTIFUL :heart I love Kuu so much :luv2

It's from her affection era, I know xD Just her screaming and wailing in the song bugs me a bit.

same thing in Your Song. beautiful song, but she's basically screaming. walk too... she yells the chorus. haha. Trust Your Love too! affection has great ballads, but her vocals aren't so nice.

you're right. it does sound like that! idk, it is boring but it's certainly not as bad as a lot of her ballads in the last couple of years. i'm mainly relying on Physical thing, if i don't like that then meh.

i never really noticed yelling kuu from affection. i will have to relisten now.. my favorite song from that album is go together.

futari, yukou, let's go now.. :heart (she 'yells' this line too)

my favorite song from affection is Best Friend Of Mine. :)

seriously, i think that's her worst song ever.

hey yo whats going on hey yo whats going on

omg I love Best Friend Of Mine too! A Cappela Kuu was nice to hear.

LOL it is her worst song ever. it sounds like it was recorded in a tin can.

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE reminds me of bfom, except it's the pretty overachieving sister and bfom is the ugly younger sister who fails at everything.

fixed.

lol @ tin can it's true.

Waaait, did you mean Best Friend Of Mine was your least favorite song? Because your post shows "My favorite song is Best Friend Of Mine" D:

haha i was being sarcastic, hence the smiley at the end and the next line saying i think it's her worst song ever. sorry! :(

ditto

it's annoying & it just leads to never ending & un-necessary verbal fights in AHS

I Believe that Everyone Had Special Thing Ayu or Kuu even Vice versa :laugh

i think Kuu is better than Ayu in Dance songs
And Ayu is better in Ballads

So Don't Care about these compares :yes

^hmmmm.. I agree.

I think it's real if you look at the pose of the tiger and Kuu's expression. I'd say it's real :yes

^She's an animal lover too! :love Dream girl...

kuu's a-nation goods this year are... bad.
She has a lips+tongue thing going on and it's not good at all.

See for yourselves.

http://shop.mu-mo.net/list2/201703030?jsiteid=mumo

Where did it come from? x_x

EDIT

OH, Lick me.......... -_-"

oh god that design is hideous :no last year's was so much better.

Not too bad but for me it's better than last year

the name of the second track on alive, "physical thing" sounds really cool. I hope it's dancey :D

^ it is a dance song :)

ugh, lips + tongue..
but i like the fan & beach ball

ehm ... eeew, those goods are well, they are not bad but certainly not pretty either. Going for the "Lick me♥" theme this year, Kuu? XD

I hope they will put a preview of Phsyical thing soon.
I'm dying to know how it sounds like!

they said it's a dance song right ?

Haha this double side look like

But/Aishou
Physcial thing/Alive

EDIT : really Kuu gonna make collabration with Lady GAGA Hmmm yay if physical thing Feat gaga :3

:yes

you don't get anything at all once you start doing that basically

I LOVE goods design! I think I'll get T-Shirt & fan! <3

I LOVE THE GOODIES :luv2 :luv2 :luv2 :luv2 :luv2 :luv2
ARE THE BEST EVEEEER!!!!!!! :heart

fixed:

I regret buying so many things online, thinking not many artists are going to release on August / September :( Now I have no money!!!

that's awesome, LacusClyne :love i love stay with me covers so much *oo*

:D :D :D :D :D

I'm surprised you got them so soon Genie , I thought you might get them tomorrow or something since I mailed them out yesterday but anyway enjoy them :D

whoa!! you're lucky Lacus!!
i never gonna use that mousepad *imagine putting a mouse on kuu's face.. big NO! NO!*

:roflmao

yeah me neither , there's no way I will do so at all

omfg the a-nation goods... :no

I would use the bag & pouch though. XD

am I the only 1 who feels that the a-nation goods is kinda like The Rolling Stones inspired ?

cos you know , with those lips/tongue icons that they also have , I can't help but feel in that manner

Yeah, you're right, I thought the same thing. XD
The shirt and the fan are nice, I gonna buy them.
But the rest is forgettable.

Alive sounds nice, I love Kumi's high notes.
I don't know why, but it sounds a bit like a Disney ballad to me. XD

I like the a-nation design, it just screams 'Kuu' <3

lol i'm in the minority but i love the new a-nation goods. the ones last year were better (which i bought) but i don't think these are hideous or anything. i want the shirt

ps if you're getting a bag from anation, stay away from ayu's and kuu's. the material they are made of are so cheap, and they fall apart so easily

I own Kuu's a-nation bag from last year and I think it's a good one. It's mad of plastic, so you shouldn't have high expectations but it isn't bad. :shrug

i've never bought a shirt from japan before, so i'm curious... is small there like small here in the us or do the sizes run smaller?

^ US cuttings are bigger than the Asian ones. Japan cuttings are DEFINITELY smaller.

thanks! i wear an extra small so small should fit. too bad there's no hats this year.

I actually want the bag... it would be nice to carry one around~ And I think Kuu's goods are the 2nd best this year, lol.

Oh the a-nation are interesting!! :)
I love the Beach Ball!
Sad thats no hat this time available!
Cause with the licking mouth it would look awesome!!

Oh thanx cutie!! :love
I added you too!!
BUT i'm not often in MSN, cause my internet connection is very crazy at the moment! xD:
BUT if, we can chat! :D

Last year i bought an a-nation Kuu-Shirt and the sizes are:

^ LOL I love your signature xD;

for me, kuu's a-nation goods of this year are the best! :luv2 seriously! i love them so much
maybe because i love the black color xD


3 SPLASH is again in the TOP 10 :cool :heart

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

thanks gubsi!!! i will order when they become available :)

i have the kingdom tour bag (the leopard print one) and it's higher quality (especially compared to a-nation goods), but someone posted about ayu's bags in another thread and said they fell apart too easily. and the kuu bags were made of the same material...

it looks like the one this year is made out of a different material than last year, though, hopefully better than the cheap plastic

Hurray for outselling stay with me! Maybe it'll reach 80k? That's good enough ( :yes ).

i think it'll easily reach 80k. i'm not sure if it will break 100k, it will have to have a loooong chart life for that.

maybe when a-nation goes on it will sell more?

maybe... i know for sure she'll sing Lick me and Hashire, both are very summery. ECSTASY maybe too, though i'm not sure. i think it'll be too soon to sing Alive, though maybe on the final dates that are recorded for the DVD she might. they're in late august.

i just got back from the store and i bought a new scanner/printer thingy so i'm gonna try scanning some things to see how they look. :)

Was stay with me advertised as much as 3 SPLASH? 3S got plenty of promotion with all the lives and stuff.

stay with me had like 5 tv lives. she always promotes on tv. LISMO gave her quite a lot of promotion as well... though i think the LIVE IN HALL II promotion was bigger.

speaking of FEVER LIVE II... any idea when that's taking place?

stay with me had potential to sell a lot more i think, but a couple of factors played into it's charting. the main one being that she had an album being released not too long after

i think the FLIH II conerts will be the two lives in taiwan :s
i'm not completely sure though

^ I doubt that.. cuz all the promotion for it was in Japan wasn't it ?

Ok, so this is a big update. I used to not listen to old Koda's music, I found it boring. Especially I couldn't understand why best of albums were so popular. So after a couple of times listening, deleting and again listening ...

BEST~first things~ CD1: I like all songs except Gentle Words and Crazy 4 U.
BEST~first things~CD2: I like Cutie Honey, Chase, Selfish, Hot Stuff, Hands and the Meaning of Peace. The "previosuly unreleased" songs are weak.
Secret: SHAKE IT is hot!
Black Cherry: Well I like many songs on this album, my favorites are Get Up&Move!!, JUICY, Yume no Uta and Ningyo Hime. I like almost all songs but at the end this album becomes really bad and I don't like: Unmei, With your smile, Milk Tea, Twinkle and GO WAY!!.
Kingdom: I like all songs! Except MORE! Wonderland is also OK, but I almost don't listen to it. This is my fav Koda's album btw :heart
Trick: Her worst album ever (if i won't count her debut albums). I love only TABOO, Driving and Venus (bonus track). This is not a love songs is OK, but not smth I would listen to always. This album is not anything new, some songs are already 'clones' of the previous ones, and I won't even comment the duet with Fergie :dead
..............
So when I look at this, it seems I prefer Kuu's fast songs. ^^ Not really into her ballads.

i prefer kumi's upbeat music too, but i listen to pop/dance music mostly anyway.

here's a scan from my new scanner! i'm happy with the quality :D i think it can be a bit more better than this because i wasn't pressing down on the top and the binding kinda kept it open. i'll put an encyclopedia on it next time :laugh

i'll be able to scan things now!

cutie! please scan everything you own! and share it with me and me only :lech

and me and me! >=o

i don't have a scanner T_T

Oh Juicy don't be so selfish
:laugh
me too yah
:yes

OMFG !! thats SO PERFECT :luv2

share with me too, pleasee!! :cry

with me too, XD :laugh

Oh... 3 SPLASH has revived lol... and I wish she would perform Lick me <3 and Hashire! in a-nation, though I think Lick me <3 is more or less confirmed since her whole a-nation goods are based on that song, lol.

I just saw her a-nation goods...I dont really understand the symbol....is it a mouth? Because if it is, it looks like it has 3 lips. @_@ I'm sorry if this is offensive but I just dont see what its supposed to be.

yeah, it's a mouth.. it's kind of like someone licking their lips. the "lip" in the middle is the tongue.

me too!! me too!!

3 SPLASH (mobile themes) [mu-mo TVCM] :


from avex youtube channel

So happy with the sales for 3 SPLASH~ I thought for a moment it was just gonna be bad.

@cutie: that scan is actually really great. It's clear and pretty~ I felt like it was so hard to find good scans of that tour book for the longest time lol

and about the Japanese sizes, at least when compared to US sizes, Japanese sizes are usually one up, so if you're a small in the US, you're a medium in Japan, if you're a large in the US, then you're an extra large over there.

No comment on the tour goods :no

Hm, I also wear extra small here, but every japanese tour shirt in small I have is still too big for me. :shrug
But normally a japanese small is defenitly smaller than a western one.
I think you'll get along well with a japanese small. :yes

Yaaaay this my first time to replace faces what ever i replace hyori's face to kuu's Face

here we go yaaay

http://i27.tinypic.com/11b7qsi.jpg

COMMENT :heart

oh wow that's awesome Twinkle!

yay thanks

i think this hairstyle look good on Kuu

yeah! that's awesome!
but i don't like that hairstyle and that dress on kuu :tipsy

It's awesome but... it doesn't really look like Kuu, but, that may depend on what pic you used.
I love the Hyori picture though :luv2

LOL TWINKLE please do more of those. do kuu's face on ayu's mirrorcle world / days+green covers plz :)

she makes a good hyori

that is perfect

cool face replacing:yes Im quite addicted to ectasy, does this happen to some of you too?

ecstasy is actually my least favorite on 3 SPLASH :think it's a good song but i would rather listen to TABOO or Driving. I'm addicted to hashire :paperbag

That Korean girl looks exactly like BoA @_@ Its so weird

^ OH YES :laugh

I said this many times xDD I LOVE ECTASY :luv2 even more than TABOO and BUT, ECSTASY is my fave kuu song ever :heart :yes

I'm exactly the same. Hashire's my fave, especially after the PV :heart. Ecstasy's good, but also my least fave. Hashire's the real "unique" song on this single, I think.

I hope for a radio rip of Alive LOL..liek earl next month...she always does tat

^ We've been getting leaks earlier and earlier lately :O
