Wow, I love You are not alone, it's so sweet and calming! :heart
Ai wo tomenaide single is already a win with this! And she looks so great on the a-nation pics! Tanned skin + colorful clothes + Kuu = awesomeness!! The full a-nation sounds good, her voice seems better again than in the tour concerts before. And it sounds like so much fun! Bling Bling Bling rock version! :heart |
Kuu talking about new single:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM_7y...&feature=feedu Also, can someone tell me how to embedd vids on posts? ^^; for some reason I can never do it. I put the embed code in but it dosen't work. Probably me being a HERPA DERP. :3 |
Quote:
In this case the code is TM_7ynbLcTk: |
Although, embedding doesn't always work. Some videos won't play if they are embedded and you will have to post the link instead anyway. But, it is still very handy.
|
She looked so cute at the end of the video. <3

For every other section we will get a release probably next week with the physical release (Chaku Uta full, videoclips (full PVs) ) It's great to see that Suki de/ Anata dake ga single is still charting or popping up here and there. The single was a success after all. |
Sorry for double post.
Third cover for Ai wo tomenaide is out: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/9521/30456587.png And tracklists changed a bit as well, You are not alone is getting a music video.

yey for music box versions :heart

Quote:
|
Oh my gosh so now I have to buy all three versions of Ai wo tomenaide!
|
4 TIMES promotions are so weak this last weeks before the physical release... Still think that a multi-performance of the 4 songs would be an awesome idea to promote it.

Second part of the a-nation audio was uploaded!

Omg, I can't wait for the IN THE AIR translation <3
By the way, on wikipedia it says 10th Anniversary Live Box has sold 260,000 copies. I don't know if that's true but if it is, it must her best selling DVD since what, second session tour (175,000 copies)? :D |
OMG that would be a lot*-*
She look sekushi as hell at a-nation! |
It's true, they announced that the first DVD box sold about 260k when they presented the first infos about the new blue and red box.
Probably the reason why Avex said yes to another release like that not under their name, lol. |
Oh okay. I don't know but I must have missed that information about the 10th Anniversary DVD Live Box then because I don't remember seeing those numbers anywhere before lol. XD
|
You are not alone now have a pv, interesting.
She'll be at Music Station next week, tomorrow we'll know what she's gonna sing. And Music Japan's live will be broadcast 08/21. Quote:

just saw this live performance from D.D.D at J-Wave.. I didn't remember how awesome was her look back in 2006!! (even she looks pretty hot now too)

I love the third cover for Ai wo Tomenaide~

the third cover is beautiful! all 3 covers are just so beautiful, actually. :D
interested in watching the "You are not alone" PV too. :) |
I need the bigger version cover for 愛を止めないで ?

My favorite cover is defiantly the CD+DVD version. Also, on her site it says that 愛を止めないで is her 51th single. Isn't it supposed to be 51st? Or perhaps its how you decide to pronounce it...?

^Maybe it's just a typo. :)

IN THE AIR
Even now, underneath the clear blue sky Don’t forget your feelings The dazzling smile you show me sometimes Suits you beautifully I was about to get lost in the crowd But you grasped my hand And I had the courage to grasp back That’s how it started Past our laughter There is a place waiting for me Let’s go home right now And love again like we did that day I hope we’ll stand by each other forever Grabbing each other’s hands during difficult times So let’s go home right now I’ll embrace you softly again tonight I get lost at times But you guide me back safely I can speak honestly then Whenever I remember you I immediately feel better Is it because you love me? Past our laughter There is a place waiting for me Let’s go home right now And love again like we did that day I hope we’ll stand by each other forever Grabbing each other’s hands during difficult times So let’s go home right now I’ll embrace you softly again tonight Every single day feels so magical Having met you allows me to change Past our laughter There is a place waiting for me Let’s go home right now And love again like we did that day I hope we’ll stand by each other forever Grabbing each other’s hands during difficult times So let’s go home right now I’ll embrace you softly again tonight ---- I hope we'll get to hear the full version soon :yes EDIT: Another one~ V.I.P. (translation) Spoiler:

She's so gorgeous. Thanks for the translations tenshi no hane! Quote:

Thank you for the translations, tenshi. <3
|
Thanks for the lyrics, IN THE AIR is so beautiful!
The new cover for Ai wo tomenaide is pretty, but I'm not canceling my CD+DVD copy to pre order it cuz I want You are not alone PV... I'm almost sure it won't pop up on the album, so I'll get the DVD version (: |
Quote:
@Se7enheaven I think they record some footage in mid tearm dates to show on the news about how the tour is going and some sneak previews and stuff like that, but for the actual DVD I think they record the final tour date. Like in the backstage DVD's yout get with the Tour DVD you see them all celebrating after the show to celebrate the end of the tour, I think. :) The V.I.P and IN THE AIR Translations are awesome...I'm a bit conused though... "That lady over there is staring wistfully, Should I pour some water on her?" I take it that's supposed to be a sign of '*****, GTFO' when she splashes the water on her face? (As that is what it usually means when you chuck your drink in someone's face XD) I was getting confused on whether it was supposed to be an erotic thing, from the lyrics. Hahahaha xD |
Thanks for the lyric translations.
I’m like a mirrorball Beautiful from each angle <-- Kuu's truest lyrics to date. |
That lady over there is staring wistfully
Should I pour some water on her? PWN!!! |
Such awesome lyrics*-*
V.I.P. lyrics are so sexy and fitting to her and the whole concept of the song and PV This is one of her best songs like ever imo!!!!! And IN THE AIR is sooo smooth and lovely positive ♥ I like how she describes the happiness when being in love^^ |
love the lyrics, thanks tenshi!!
btw... 6 days til the official release (what it means: 3 PV's + all 4 songs in HQ must be somewhere before a week!) ANXIOUS for listening IN THE AIR in full 320k and PLC&KOSO PV's :D |
So is the correct tag for PLC, Poppin'love cocktail feat.TEEDA ?
|
You're welcome everyone :heart
Poppin' love cocktail feat. TEEDA (translation) Spoiler:
|
LOL..i feel like the whole lyrics of all 3 songs are connected in a story..hehehe..
|
O_o Poppin'love cocktail's lyrics are way more sexual than I thought they would be :D:D
|
Thank you tenshi!
All song lyrics seem to be connected indeed, into one big summer love story. I love the metaphors and symbols she uses. "Sunglasses are useless The sun is way too bright" "Your popcorn please I’ll eat it down to the last crumb" "I was about to get lost in the crowd But you grasped my hand" "That lady over there is staring wistfully Should I pour some water on her?" :D __________________________________________________ __________________________ recochoku for today: PLC in full was released yesterday already, it's at #1 today!

Kuu has three sexy songs and one happy-cute-me-so-in-love song on 4 TIMES then. How cool is that? :luv2
I wonder, is it "Poppin'love cocktail" or "Poppin' love cocktail"? o.O When I watched that video where she spoke about this song, it was written in the latter form. :O I wonder if it was just a typo or what? XD And I'm annoyed that I forgot Kuu Play-Day yesterday. I was sure I forgot something and found out about it too late yesterday. XD I'm such a bad Kuustan for forgetting that awesome thing :< Oh and I finally listened to Stands Up full version (Yes, it took me way too long) and I love it very much as I expected since I love everything Kuu does anyway. :D //And she does so well on digital charts. Congrats for Kuu for getting #1 with PLC <3 |
It's spelled Poppin'love cocktail without a gap officially!
I'm so glad, too, that she's is such a big seller digitally and yeeeees Stans Up! is awesome=) |

So Poppin'love cocktail is the song Kumi worked toether on with BACK-ON!!! I assume there will be no other song they sing together... |
^
yeah... it seems it is. Nice PLC is #1!! Anyone knows anything about the NINKI index for next week releases? |
^ the Ninki chart is released every Friday so we'll find out tomorrow :D
|
Thank you for the textless covers! The lyrics for PLC are awesome! :luv2 I think PLC will be my favourite song, by far. :)
Yay for 1# :D |
Quote:
Great numbers for Kuu yay <3 Thanks for the textless covers, saved all of them! What does ''原アルバム'' means? They're all credited to Kuu on the interludes o-o |
Not sure if anyone has seen this yet but Kuu will be going to the Japan-Vietnam Friendship Music Festival, here's a blog entry about it with pictures of the event:
http://kumi-flash.blogspot.com/2011/...n-vietnam.html She looks so cheeky and adorable in the second picture! :D Koda grinned as she commented on bringing her sexiness to Vietnam for the first time, “I want to appear there in a sexy outfit. Is that alright Sugi-san?”. Even though the rules will probably be strict, Sugi gave his seal of approval, “That’s alright! But it might be the first time ever, so there will be a lot of people copying (you)!” ;D Oooh aye, sounds awesome! hahaha XD I really hope they show footage! |
wow she looks weird with this hairstyle ): But these are great news! Queen of Live should be know all over Asia!
Does anyone have an HQ quality of this cover [?] song by Kuu? I mean, is this really Kuu? Sounds a lot like her affection era voice, and the song is gorgeous <3 |
^If anything it must be a TV special. Because I don't ever remember coming across a song with that title in her discography.
Also, with YesAsia, when do they ship pre-orders? Like the day of, day after? |
i found out that this song is originally from Kiroro (the vid is also up on youtube)
i actually can't tell if it's kuu or not, it could be her, as you said in her early times. and as love_shine already said it must be from a tv special or maybe from one of her auditions, if it is her because i can't remember that song too. but it sounds quite beautiful someone mentioned on jpc that VIP was composed and written by Jessi J (the british singer) it's quite intressting because i realized a few days ago that both wear those hot tights in their musicvideos (kuuchan in VIP and Jessi J in like a dude) but well probably it's just a coincidence... |
I love Jessie J... if she wrote V.I.P. that's so hot!
|
Jessica Cornish is stated as one of the writers for V.I.P, yes. I guess Avex and Kuu just bought the song after hearing the demo like usually.
After all they love to use western written demos and songs for Kuu, at least for the upbeat songs. I'm happy about Kuu being at that Japan-Vietnam festival. Another festival performance, those are mostly great, mixed with old and new songs! And she's there with AKB and Exile, that's great. recochoku for today: Single download/ Chaku Uta full: #1 Poppin'love cocktail (#1) Chaku Uta: #12 V.I.P.

So much popular artists. I'm really curious how Kuu will do. |
I seriously love it when Kuu releases something, it's always very exciting to see how she does since she isn't like those who will surely get #1 spot. Of course, a #1 single would be really nice since the last time she got one was in 2009 (Alive/Physical thing). But I'm happy she's in Top 10 anyway, and does digitally very well too. <3

And lastly:
KO-SO-KO-SO (translation) Spoiler:

Tenshi, thank you for the translation of KO-SO-KO-SO. <3
A-nation'11 looks so fun. I think I'm definitely watching it this year. I don't usually watch a-nation concerts at all but this year I just have to. :D |
Lots of new magazines!
9/7(水)「S Cawaii!」 9/7(水)「EDGE STYLE」 8/27(土)「エル・ジャポン」 8/23(火)「ネイルヴィーナス」 8/11(木)「CUTiE」8/7(日) 8/7(日)「BLENDA」 She will also be on 3 radio shows. Also the first press item for Ai wo tomenaide CD only and CD+DVD is Koimikuji, fortune papers you normally get at Shinto shrines or Buddhist temples. Similar to the love amuletts you got with the mu-mo edition of Suki de/Anata dake ga last year. |
Massive promotion for 4 TIMES/Ai wo tomenaide begins? *_* I'm excited. :D
|
Kumi will sing Poppin'love cocktail at Music Station :(
Quote:
Live schedule: 08/13 - CDTV - Poppin'love cocktail 08/19 - Music Station - Poppin'love cocktail 08/21 - Music Japan - Poppin'love cocktail |
I admit, I'm a little pressed that her Ninki rating isn't as high as I hoped it would be.
|
^ That's because there are too many popular releases on the same day |: But let's wait... I'd happy if she sells 63k overall lol
|
^ Yeah it'd actually be great if she manages around 60k in the first week like Gossip Candy did but who knows
And seriously PLC again? lol I love that song but the others need some TV live love too :( |
i wish kuu would perform "V.I.P.", but it's okay. looking forward to watching her performance next week, anyway. :P
|
Quote:
I thought 4 TIMES have potential to become a major success.... hmmm let's wait |
The third cover for Ai wo tomenaide is so pretty as well, love all 3:heart. Actually I shouldn't buy both singles, it's too expensive.. but I just need to:laugh
And that You are not alone is getting a PV is really cool, looking forward to it so much. |
Hi kuu, start releasing the damn videos. Thanks. m(_ _)m
|
well people did comment that there was like no promo or something....but there seems like some is coming?
Maybe they're looking to try and have more single sales outside of the first week? |
Apparently is some limited editions of 4 TIMES CD + DVD version they are giving away little discount coupons to be in the front row seats of Dejavu Tour. :)
And although PLC is my favourite song so far from the single, I will admit I too would like to see her sing V.I.P and KO-SO-KO-SO, as well! Also, not sure if anyone has seen this but I was browing through Youtube and found this old live @Velfare: I think it's quite rare to find kuu's really old lives but I would like to try and collect as many of her lives as I can. Do we have a Kumi thread for her lives here on AHS? D: |
^ I think she's keeping them for the live tour 2012, or at least I hope so cause both songs deserve a fantastic performance. :laugh
|
^ V.I.P. needs a pole dancing part just like Cutie Honey @ Kingdom Tour :love
|
Quote:
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/IJcZc03ICwg/ Amazing. Such an improvement, but she still sounded great in the first one... just a bit raw. But I love the original arrangement of that song. Wish she did more ballads like that. |
^I love Your Song! One of my favorites from Affection.

^^I really like Affection. Gives me a nice nostalgic feeling.

From her old albums I prefer grow into one, that album is filled with gems. :heart
affection has just 4-5 songs I love, the rest is pretty forgettable. recochoku for today: Single download/Chaku Uta full: #1 Poppin'love cocktail (#1) Chaku Uta: #8 Poppin'love cocktail (#13) #18 V.I.P.

(#30) #64 IN THE AIR (#58) #95 KO-SO-KO-SO (#38) And that's why she's performing PLC over and over, lol. It's the song japanese people seem to like the best and it has the potential to become a hit. I'd like her to sing something different as well though, maybe later. |
I really loved affection. One of my favorite Kuu albums. Hehe.
|
Affection is a great album, too bad it wasn't so successful as it should have been. It has awesome songs on it. I wish she would sing feel me someday because that's like my favorite song on affection. :D
It's really rare to find Kuu's old lives. She haven't changed so much her stage presence which is great. It was cool to watch real Emotion choreography, it made me think of FFX-2 opening video. <3 And to be honest, Yuna does look a bit like Kuu there on some parts. :O |
*wonders if Single will leak in full HQ soon O.o*
|
I was accessing Jwave, a brazilian website about Jculture, and they've posted ''Top 10 - Sexy Songs'', according to a poll on JOYSOUND website [A karaoke company]

I don't consider Cutie Honey that sexy when it comes to lyrics. :D
