What happened to him?

Thanks for the youtube previews. I like Joyful so far ^^ I couldnt hear them on avex site. For Heyx3 I cant wait to see that lol. Also for the FNS live I love how Moon Crying was performed it was so pretty.

I think Driving might turn out to be like TABOO...the feel i get from the both chorus werent very impactful..they were quite...flat
but with that verse of TABOO's..it became amazing...along with the cool music of course...
so i really hope Driving would be like tat...

Glass coffin.

OMG the Heyx3 upcoming episode sounds like it's going to be really funny and possibly cute... or it could end up making me nausious. :laugh

I am REALLY looking forward to "TRICK" now though!

I LOVE JOYFUL <333333333333


I loved how she said I'm a showgirl in showgirl and I love driving for the beat xD



EDIT
OMGGGGGGGGGG!!! USD ARE LIKE DOWN AGAIN >.< ONE DOLLAR USD IS LESS THAN 100 YEN NOW >.<

Kuu did a "talk event" at Lovers Xmas...

On the Sponichi article they said something about her singing stay with me and Winter Bell... So jealous that ppl got to see her perform Winter Bell...

^ eh? that's her in the 2nd pic? she looks bloated and old :X

^ LMFAO. I'm totally seeing that!! XD

I like her clothes in those pictures. This year Kuu's clothes has been better than last year. I love those so much. <3

wow I'm back to find out the covers of TRICK which are out

the CD + 2DVDs is weird in a good way if you ask me & I don't plan to listen to the previews

don't wanna kill anything good or bad

i don't like the covers of TRICK...
they're terrible :/

cd only looks cheap and cd+2dvd is creeping me out..

Yeah it's at about 92 now and if it goes below 80, I might have to stop buying Jpop for a while -_-;;; I really want to support Kuu more than anything, but the US economy is just not letting it happen xD;.... hopefully our gutter economy won't affect the OS prices from YesAsia...

I can't wait to her Winter Bell live, she looks very weird in the second picture.

And, am I the only one who thinks the preview of Driving is just meh?

torrent site for Stay with me @ Msta kuu is up at JPS now

http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_be...nload&id=50467

I'm waiting for smaller video size

yes

^rude

same, i love kumi but not enough to kill my computer with such a huge video size. :headache i hope someone will post one smaller...

or to upload it on youtube or whatever...i can't download something that big :dead2

I uploaded a news vid about Lovers Xmas, you can see her perform Winter Bell:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxCi3L0zEa0

^Thank you! I wish they showed Kuu more.

I wonder if she will perform Winter Bell more often.
Thank you for the link.
I hope someone will upload at AHS soon.



Indeed, I'm glad we think the same.

You can download the live performance here:

or

Edit: You just need to register...

Nope, I think they're all meh to be honest. She should have put Winter Bell on the album, then I'd feel more comfortable knowing I like more than one song :(

Okay, a few weeks of inactivity in the Kuu thread, and I get a ton of updates!

stay with me:
Awesome song! Though the PV is kind of... hehe.

TRICK:
The CD only cover was kind of meh. Her dress look like scales on a fish. BUT the CD+2DVD omg... it's so artistic and abstract! I like it, although it freaks me out and it doesn't look like Kuu! There's something striking about the cover... maybe the make up or something, but it strikes me, and caught my attention. Cool!

Previews:
joyful - cute, as with the other cute songs.
Driving - this follows the total coolnes of her cool songs like BUT and TABOO. I like it!
show girl - I can totally tell a dance coming up with the beats in this song...

I think TRICK's gonna be better than Kingdom! Yay! Kuu has like jumped back from her mess back in February.... awesome!

And I can see how her TRICK Tour would open next year... like Kingdom Tour ended in the moon (if I remember correctly), and then like the TRICK Tour, Kuu rabbit from anytime's PV pops out of the moon and enters a magician's hat... and boom! TRICK Tour starts with the first song, whatever it may be!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it seems as though Kuu has 2 personas in this album, the first one being totally show girl in the CD only, and the second being a magician/clown in the CD+2DVD cover. Interesting. I'm looking forward!

hmm, the two sides of the album may correlate with how the last tour ended, with kumi disappearing into the back and like another kumi walking there and then they turn around and look at each other. we'll see!!! maybe it'll be Koda Kumi vs. Kuu-chan!

Stay with me @ music station.

i hate her bangs kind of :(

i hate her bangs too but otherwise she looks really good! she sounds really good too!

seriously, what is happening to kumis live voice?? it used to be so good, from those clips it's like..ugh.. her outfit is cute in stay with me performance tho, her bangs are horrible :no

3. show girl
4. Your Love
5. stay with me
6. Joyful
7. JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
8. TABOO
9. Hurry Up
10. This is not a love song
11. Bling Bling Bling feat.AK-69
12. That Ain't Cool（倖田來未 feat. Fergie）
13. Moon Crying
14. Ai no Kotoba

but now it's

1. INTRODUCTION～TRICK～（仮）
2. TABOO
3. show girl
4. Your Love
5. stay with me
6. This is not a love song
7. Driving
8. Bling Bling Bling feat.AK-69
9. That Ain't Cool （倖田來未 feat. Fergie
10. Hurry Up!
11. Moon Crying
12. JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
13. Joyful
14. Ai no Kotoba

^ oh I didn't realise that , thanks for telling me

will update my music blog on this piece of info now

Maybe they're trying to make the album flow better than KINGDOM...?

I hope so because I really have issues with Kingdom in that the sound consistency's not there & it's very shaky

but stay with me hasnt moved...so..i wont think it will flow so well...i dunno, im too used to the ayu way of having ballads in the middle

edit: when she sang "you with all your smile", i suddenly thought of "With your smile" LOl

they probably rearranged it to sort out how the songs will lead into each other
like how Introduction goes right into Fly high in ayu's LOVEppears.. :shrug
but who knows, INTRODUCTION didn't flow right into LAST ANGEL
most j-albums start off with pop and then in the end all ballads, usually with a interlude to transcend into that...

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

so what does this mean ? or she didn't know that her single has been pushed back to Christmas eve ?

T_T

hmm...it was set for the 10th, winter bell removed, causing the single to postpone, winter bell has returned,....maybe it will be released on the 10th..just have to wait and see

pretty wierd, even the link has the 10th, but the site says the 24th..

lol i noticed that too, it said 12/10 on MF.

kuu + ayu is so cute, they are like bffs :heart

gossip girls

aw that is really cute

they are fabulous queen bffs

kame is peeking at kumi creepily from behind!

haha
I got so happy when I saw it, undescribable joy I guess =D
be cool if they could be the bestest friends..
let's exchange numbers

this is not the first time they've been spotted doing this during music shows either, i've seen it at least three other times.

i think they are good friends!

I wonder what Kuu said to Ayu...?

omg it's like amigo and gocchin. they are adorable together :yes

Looool they look so cute !

part of me u r amazing u make me laugh :laugh

i wonder what they talking about ?

lol i'm gonna download the whole MS once it's available just to see them talking. last time was so funny because they kept on talking over the announcer ppl

it reminds me of when they both attended the mr. and mrs. smith preview...

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...izz/ayukuu.jpg


kuu's all looking at ayu, like omg that's ayumi hamasaki lol

:roflmao
i was thinking the same thing


twinkle ! u are very cool, i like you 2 :heart

lmao :OMG

OMGG..LOL! SO CUTE!

i wanna heat kuu's Joke too :laugh

lol

let's wait til next Wed to see whether the single leaked out or not

aw that's cute

although I'm looking at the KAT-TUN guys more than the ladies :innocent

it's funny that Kame & Taguchi are looking downwards if you know what I mean

Why are you on this show tonight? :P

omg so cute! love it when they're together :heart

Ayu and Kuu are so cute together!
It's good to see that they are friendly to eachother.

wow. Nice pict.. probably they are good frens. =)

Cute! Ayu is like big sister to Kuu

they hardly look like the rivals that fans make them out to be, haha. :P

lol tell me about it :laugh

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ura/saykuu.jpg
Hahahahaha XDDDD!!!!!

At least that's a reference to the women fluid thing right? XD Lol~~

Anyways, does anyone else think Ai no Kotoba might be Kingdom's introduction extended? The introduction is basicaly "looove loveee yeaa" and Ai no Kotoba = love words. And it's the last non-bonus song.

I liked TABOO & JUST THE WAY YOU ARE next to eachother more. :/ Had a very gayness. But I guess they thought it looked bad to have both capital letter titles next to eachother.

Kuu: OMG the host didn't zip his fly!
Ayu: LOL the boxers read "I WANT YOUR ROTTEN FLUIDS!"
Kuu+Ayu: LOLOLOL!!!

I want to come up something KAT-TUN related since the guys are around the ladies excluding Nakamaru but I failed badly :dead2

EDIT - you can download her performance of stay with me that she did at MUSIC FIGHTER via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...94#post1730394

LOL! at the picture with the Radio Reference XD That is great

People have been calling them rivals? :(

I guess they'll turn anyone into enemies lol.

Lmao! That's so evil, Ayu <3

I love seeing pictures of Kuu + Ayu like that! I bet they are good friends.

But LOL@ GRACE's caption though! HAHA.

Those previews just did not wow me at all. =[ For some reason, they don't feel like they fit the theme of "TRICK." I want to hear the full versions before I make up my mind though.

Tee hee hee.

All captions other than GRACE's are kinda fail lol XD

They are laughing about the oufits that DJ Ozma's dancers are wearing...

They do seem like they get along well, although I remember when they were both at this Mr. and Ms. Smith showing Ku was all excited to talk to Ayu and Ayu kinda looked like she didn't wanna talk haha or it could just be me.

^It's probably because they didn't meet a lot at work or something of that sort so they didn't know each other personally! since already 2 years every time they are on the same music program they always talk and laugh together XD.

Yeah that movie did come out a while ago anyway XD

^

israel, do you maybe know where I can see the vid of Kuu w/ Ayu at the showing of Mr Mrs smith? :3

Those guys sit like girls. Ayu - "hey, I got this joke for you to say it next year on TV. Don't say it on radio. We need new idea."

Koda - " wow thats amazing."

Maybe ayu and kuu are dating behind the scenes :x (GREEN/TABOO)

waiting for someone to photoshop kuu's face on the girl in GREEN video...

love that pic of kuu and ayu :yes


my I'm so late (-_-||)

As much as I really like the previews....honestly the covers...
the first one I like but the second one!

first it doesn't look like kuu
second she scares me !!!!!!!!! (O_O)

Like this?

:D

omg ew lol

LOL Funny picture

Omg so perfect bb! :roflmao

So Kuu's the man in the relationship?:mischief

^Obviously, she looks more man-ish =P

:roflmao

nice one Travis

I just saw the covers today and I think they're pretty nice. Though I think I'd like the jester one more if it actually looked anything like her.

^ I had to do a double take when I saw the CD + 2 DVDs cover of TRICK

I was like , is that Koda to begin with ? O_O

:laugh That made my day!
It's awesome.

another pic! =P

^ lol i saw that one. but in all seriousness i would love to know what they were laughing about. kuu's laughing face is so gosh darn scary omg

lol

I wonder why Taguchi was pulling such a long face O_O

I love the second pic! Very cute!

GRACE we want your captions back Xd At least they're relatively funny.

The kumi editing GREEN picture looks weird. o.O You should'a turned the face a few degrees clockwise. XD

ROFL at the kuu morphed picture :laugh

aww, ayumi and kuu should be a couple. ayukuu? :laugh
