lol I'm quite sure too , charging 5,000 - 6,000 Yen per month that's a bit too much

anyway guys , can anyone rip & upload for me the single version of the Ai no Uta PV (not the one you can find in Kingdom with it all black & white , I want the one with colours)

it will be great if you can rip & upload the PV from your Ai no Uta single , I will appericate it :yes as I realised I didn't have a non DVD rip version of the PV earlier on when I checked my mp3player

Gubsi 5th January 2010 12:11 PM

Koda Gumi is 5,000¥ for 1 year!
It's mentioned on her homepage and it think thats quite cheap, when i think about a Fanclub here with 40$ per Month! D:

Hehe thanks! ^^

Yep Lick me's PV does really well.
It's no wonder though the Japanese LOVE their cute+summer songs =P.
All of the TV performances of Lick me on December grealy helped as well!

Personally Physical thing and ECSTASY both own it in every way. xD

It's all Love! full PV is #5 on the yearly charts and Lick me was #30!
ayu also did well with Days on #2 Rule on #10 and Sunrise on #20. ^^

I'm glad that we have recochoku!

jean-baptiste 5th January 2010 10:06 PM

sorry if its a stupid question (i tried googling with no luck >_<) but whats a clear file? o.o

do it again 5th January 2010 10:17 PM

i'm not quite sure either but it's A4 size which is like the size of a piece of paper, i'd rather get the B2 size posters from CDJ.

jean-baptiste 5th January 2010 10:33 PM

^ooh i see. thanks for clearing that up. =]

jbrat2219 5th January 2010 11:07 PM

Probably something the size of printer paper that you put your files in? Like a folder?

You can put important papers or whatever in it!
It depends how big they are!
Normally they have the size of a normal piece of paper!

By the way, any details on the first press for BEST ~Third Universe~ ?
Since the single got all the details already, but I don't want the single, I want the album! xD

Gubsi 6th January 2010 02:19 PM

^OMG i would never really bash Hikki!
She's my favorite after Kumi!
And i go to her concert in London next month! *woohoo*

All i know for BEST ~third universe~ is that if you're a member of one of the fanclubs (Koda Gumi, playroom) you get a B2 Poster and a Sticker with them!
BUT nothing mentioned on the Non-Fanclub-Ordered ones! :(

EDIT:
When i get the Poster and Sticker i will take pics for you!

waterballoon 6th January 2010 04:19 PM

Gubsi, it's been said enough. You rock. :laugh

And I want me so CLEAR FILES! I don't care if it's from Kuu, Ayu or TVXQ omg... just get me some clear files so I can show them off! XD

KarenPang 6th January 2010 04:44 PM

nah I don't think so ;p , I'm like the only AHS person that's a full fledged BREAKERZ stan but I had to fought really hard to get the FIGHTERZ clearfile online not to mention paid a rather huge chunk of $ for it D:

but it was very worth it :laugh & I will not be surprised if the same thing's going to happen for the Can We Go Back clearfile too D:

it might fetch quite a high end 2 figure sum , that wouldn't surprise me

waterballoon 6th January 2010 04:45 PM

Yeah, the clearfiles for CWGB have such cool designs... I hate the FC members, they get everything lol

do it again 6th January 2010 04:49 PM

the FC version of TABOO with the clearfile sold for like $75 USD on eBay... and it originally cost like $10, i felt sorry for the person who bought it.

ストロボ・EdGE 7th January 2010 12:26 AM

I see around AHS that people call themselves/others "Kuu stans"... what does that mean? Like an obsessive fangirl/boy?

"-stan"...?

Gubsi 7th January 2010 12:29 AM

@karakotomia: No! On HIRO's (the composer/producer of the dance interlude) website he mentioned the dance interlude is only in the PV!

Yes.
Unfortunately stans became a new trendy word for obsessed fans.
kuu fans (though there's also kuuters), ayu stans, namie stans, hikki stans whoever stans.

Stupid fan? Super fan? I'm not sure myself but I always thought it was along those lines. :shrug

ayumisrael 7th January 2010 01:20 AM

I read on JPM that someone explained that it's from the song Stan of Eminem. Like a fan that would die for the artist he/she's got an obsession to. =P

Kaiouforever 7th January 2010 01:20 AM

Aw that's just mean! I thought it was like the Japanese "san" but misspelled LOL.

ayumisrael 7th January 2010 01:21 AM

That's really mean and I wish that this term would have never exist.

do it again 7th January 2010 01:28 AM

Omg I would have never thought of that...

Picaflor 7/4 7th January 2010 02:59 AM

I don't think it's mean at all. stan is for all those people that love every single song by an artist. have seen every video, live performance, heard every song over and over and over. defend them till death do them part. (in other words, their artist can never do any wrong and they can never be harmed or less than perfect). you know...all that good stuff.

Spoiler:
[Eminem as 'Stan']
Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
this'll be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters;
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped ALL of your pictures off the wall
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me
See Slim; {*screaming*
Shut up *****! I'm trying to talk!
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh ****, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this **** out?

{Chorus: Dido

[Eminem]
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
and here's an autograph for your brother,
I wrote it on the Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
Don't think I did that **** intentionally just to diss you
But what's this **** you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that **** just clowning dog,
c'mon - how ****ed up is you?
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counseling
to help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
And what's this **** about us meant to be together?
That type of ****'ll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy ****
I seen this one **** on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
Damn!


I mean...it might be a little harsh, but still. Eminem didn't just rip that song out of his ass. Things like this do happen with fans that are obsessed.

AyUta 7th January 2010 04:01 AM

^ Huh, interesting, I had no idea there was a term like that.

KarenPang 7th January 2010 04:21 AM

I honestly didn't know the term Stan til someone told me about it here

well I don't know if I'm 1 but I really hope not D:

anyway , yay 2 weeks + before Can We Go Back is released but I don't think it will get #1 as much as I hate to say this T_T X____X

jean-baptiste 7th January 2010 04:31 AM

^i get that feling too unfortunately. =[
the only good reason i think will make people buy it, is Good Day. because CWGB is already gonna be on the new album, which isnt released that long after the single.
we can only hope for the best though.

but i REALLY REALLY want UNIVERSE to go to number 1!

@Picaflor: if thats what being a "stan" is, then i am without a doubt a Kumi stan. xD (besides the part about her doing no wrong, i dont agree with that.)

KarenPang 7th January 2010 04:41 AM

I'm sure the single will get top 5 but #1 ? I'm not sure especially since UNIVERSE will be out a mere 2 weeks after that in which fans might probably save up $ to get the album instead of getting the single

also it doesn't help that both editions of Can We Go Back are deemed limited releases/pressings just like the case for anytime

she's going to face off against YUI's GLORIA on 20th which's why I said so & YUI has been getting straight #1's singles from SUMMER SONG all the way to It's all too much / Never say die

Crystal_Ageha 7th January 2010 04:52 AM

Yeah, I'm worried that this single won't get #1... But then again, honestly, it doesn't really deserve it. There's only two songs, just a regular A-side B-side, and then the instrumentals for them... The A-side is good, but it's not incredibly great and it's only a cover. The B-side is just okay, too, in my opinion. So yeah. I won't be surprised at all if this doesn't make number one. :shrug Of course, I still wish she would...

And yeah, "-stan" totally comes from the song Stan. Funny, even though I'm a big Eminem fan, I had never heard of the term, either, until coming here, but I knew immediately what it was from. I think it is very slowly becoming an Internet specific slang on different music sites, I guess.

Stan is a great song . I love both versions where it featured Dido & Sir Elton John on vocals

Dido wasn't present when Eminem did Stan live at the Grammy's a few years back so Sir Elton John took her place & sang her part with piano which I think that's cool

Crystal_Ageha 7th January 2010 05:14 AM

Oh yeah, I forgot, this is kind of a special single, too.... This single is very much like anytime, isn't it? A kind of laid back song combined with an upbeat cover, and both are limited or whatever, hah? Only, the sides are reversed, and this single is much better (I think, at least).

And oh my God, the Elton John version is awesome! XP I love his voice, hah.

do it again 7th January 2010 05:23 AM

I don't really care about KUMI's singles getting #1 because she only has a handful of number 1s and she's almost released 50 singles. I would be very disappointed if her album failed to reach #1 though. I'm really excited for more news on the album! I hope they release previews of the new songs soon... one month until its release!

adantatu2 7th January 2010 05:51 AM

I don't care if this single gets the #1, (for example 4 hot wave (the best single 4 me) gets the no.2 with 207,484 sales, and this single deserves the no.1)
But with the album maybe the sales are low

jean-baptiste 7th January 2010 06:38 AM

@Karen Pang: thats exactly why i was worried. YUI seems to be on a roll!

so "-stan" isnt only used on asian artists forums?

jbrat2219 7th January 2010 06:49 AM

^ No it seems to be used all over.

i have to agree. I mean, I would like a single to do well. but imo the real importance is how well the album sells.

Twinkle ! 7th January 2010 07:59 AM

yeah agree i don't care if her single get #1 :laugh

But i'll cry a river if her album failed to reach #1 :weep

OogoeDiamond 7th January 2010 08:08 AM

is tracklist for UNIVERSE out?

love in music 7th January 2010 10:34 AM

Umm I think the album/best is going to sell a LOT tbh. I don't really care about the single sales, I don't expect them to be high because most of her singles sell bad lately no matter how good they are. I really have to question Japan's taste sometimes because TABOO is IMO one of her best singles and had such mediocre sales :no.

KarenPang 7th January 2010 10:40 AM

I'm quite UNIVERSE will reach #1 on 3rd Feb

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/newrelease/...?date=2010-2-3

doesn't seem to have much competitors on that week of release

ayumisrael 7th January 2010 11:50 AM

kimura kaela's releasing her 1st best album and she could be a competition since she got more and more popular and she also does well digitally.

A new song from her best album called Butterfly that wasn't released as a single has digitally a lot of #1 days and it seems that will have weeks too.

KarenPang 7th January 2010 01:58 PM

I saw this on CDJapan :

http://www.neowing.co.jp/track_for_c...KEY=RZCD-46454

is it confirmed at her site over the whole Can We Go Back (Another Ver.) & Good☆day (Another Ver.) or it will be just instrumentals ?


ok never mind I just went to her official site & they didn't have anything on this yet D:

You can use Rinkya or Celga...
(i use Celga so i don't know much about Rinkya)
BUT you need a creditcard and enough money! xDDDD
Cause you must pay the middleman, the shipping costs from japan to their warehouse in japan and then the shipping cost to you! Dx
And they ship it after 2 month anyway to you!
For example:
If you just get a letter from Koda Gumi and it's 2 month in the warehouse they will ship it to you and you must pay the shipping costs (which depends how heavy your items are (i probably pay 20€ is 30$ or something like that!?)
(BUT read the FAQ's on the site before you really decide to use them)
If you want i can send you a PM the next days, when i had more time!

I think it's the only competition i'm afraid of!
Cause you don't know the japanese people nowadays!

Personally i hope Kuu gets #1!
I tried Kaela, BUT i really don't like her music!
It's like i never understood why Superfly's Album Box Emotions charted so well in the charts!?
Kimura's music is strange for me and Superfly songs aren't memoriable!
BUT it's just my opinion and taste of music!
I wouldn't say i hate them, it's like with Mika Nakashima:
I don't hate her, BUT i really don't like her music!

wasn't this not mentioned on her site long time ago!?
他、全2曲4ヴァージョン収録予定
I think that means something like: 2 recorded songs with a total of 4 songs!
And like her million released singles before it was the same!
So the "other 2 songs" always the instrumentals! xD
When they add a Remix or another B-Side, they already had mentioned it i think!

KarenPang 7th January 2010 03:00 PM

I did checked her site over the supposedly 'another versions' of both songs but I didn't get any updates there

so for now I'm assuming them to be instrumentals

I ask even though I'm not buying the single LOL because I want to write up my review towards Can We Go Back but I'm holding back cos of this D:

Gubsi 7th January 2010 03:10 PM

i think it's a little mistake from CDJapan!
They don't really mentioned it on her site, BUT it's almost the same that the other songs turned out to be instrumentals!
So you can already make your review of the single!

KarenPang 7th January 2010 03:18 PM

ok :laugh

I work on writing about Can We Go Back maybe tomorrow or during the weekend . I wanted to do it today but I'm brain dead D:

That album was a clear indication to me that Japan LOVES best albums. This might be a big seller for Kumi since it's her anniversary too, ne?

Uh oh x_x... We'll have to see how this turns out...

I want Kuu to win Kimura Kaela lol cos after all Kuu's a 10 year anniversary BEST... it's "bigger" if you get what I mean.

Maybe it will, or more since kuu sells better with albums than ayu. I just think the best + original album will attract a lot of people to buy it.. the 10th anniversary should help a bit too.

maze 8th January 2010 12:37 AM

in that k sisters message from max's blog, kuuchan said she will go abroad this year.. this probably means an "asia tour" for the next tour.. and mimo said she is working so hard to have her own official fanclub.. XD

misono needs fans first.

An Asian Tour for Kuu would be sooooooooo exciting! It would be her first one right? She only did that one concert in Taiwan so it wasn't really a "tour," ne?

Crystal_Ageha 8th January 2010 01:32 AM

^ Lol, I see that. ;) Too true, unfortunately for her. D:
And yeah, this is the first real tour outside of Japan. ^.^

See, I think this will sell better than it really should because people are literally being forced to buy the best (if they want the new album, that is :(). Though, I'm not sure it will do extremely well, even as a best, because her last two bests have done, well..not good, at all. :\ Then again, those bests flat out sucked, lol. But, then AGAIN, most Kumi fans will have already bought all these songs at least once, considering they are from her peak. >__> Hm...

Whatever. I'm still waiting a good while to get her new studio album, hoping that it will be released separately. :yes Because, knowing avex, they would LOVE the chance to milk this, releasing the studio separately a few months later. ;) And if not, well, guess I'll just go through with their evil scheme and buy the best to get the studio, ya? >,<

AyUta 8th January 2010 01:51 AM

Oooo, I would love an asian tour for Kumi <3

I wouldn't waste my money on the best, but I would for the new album. If the Japanese fans feel the same, this might end up selling as well as a regular album for her. But I hope for more.

Not a fan of her (Butterfly is an amazing song though) but she is a very respectable artist....her songs are crazy popular and this is her first best album and like Kumi's 4th or something. I'd say she's stiff competition but Kumi should be able to sell at #1

AyumiSEASONS 8th January 2010 06:23 AM

soo question for you guys because I cant remember for the life of me, how many calendars has Koda had now? I think it's 3 or 4 as of this year but..Im not really sure.

Just 4 I'm pretty sure. She had one for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Both the 2007 and 2008 calendars have really pretty pics, I wish there were proper scans of them, all I've ever found are crappy cam pics that people took of them :eviltongu

AyumiSEASONS 8th January 2010 02:51 PM

I have all the calendars but the 2010 one but im hoping to order it today. SADLY though My scanner isn't big enough to scan them. :/ or I totally would

I ran out of space on my walls so I have some of the calendar pages in a poster tube in my closet and I didnt feel like digging through my closet to find the pages to find out how many calendars there has been. XD so thanks for answering me.
