The crowd was dead tbh.

LIT |
thanks for posting can anybody upload the live please?:love
|
I'm back from the concert.
Most important thing first. She announced the 61st single today. It's called 'HUSH' and comes in the same vinyl edition like LIT. The back cover is a continuation of the first. All three singles together form a full pic. The cover is similar to LIT - face close-up and instead of flowers on the left side there's a lip mark. Concert was amazing as ever. I was the first time close enough to the stage to catch confetti myself! ❤ Do you guys want me to say something more? There's quite a bunch I wanna tell at least. :laugh |
^ Yes please!!
|
@Corvina You can tell all in details! Love reading reviews from the concert before seeing.
This is HUSH's cover: http://i.imgur.com/8xYd2bCm.jpg It'll be out on 10/04. |
From the title, it sounds like it will be an Outside-like song. I hope the December single will be a ballad.
Did not like LIT, I loved Outside but I want drama cellphone queen back for one single. |
I don't recall. Did we get a full review from anybody?
I think not, just overall summaries. So I'm doing one now - beware, it's going to be long for Kaled and jiarongisme. :laugh A short remark - there are no real interlude movies. It's more about the W Face theme and the atmosphere. It felt really compact like that. Not much time to rest and to sit down for a while, probably also because the ballad part is more of a midtempo sing along part. Everything felt fast. Length was the usual though. Full review in spoiler: Spoiler:
Alright, if you read everything and STILL have questions - jst ask. |

61st Limited Single「HUSH」 2017.10.4 on sale [ライブ会場・mu-moショップ限定] RZC1-86398 ¥1,000 (tax out) 豪華アナログサイズ(12インチ)ジャケット仕様 【CD】 01: HUSH 02: HUSH -Instrumental No DVD this time. Song is a medium autumny dance tune, filled with different vocal expressions. |
According to a fanpage on facebook, "Hush" will be a dance and midtempo song.
|
I can't believe there are gonna be three of those weird covers :(
This aside the description of the song is promising, let's wait and see At least it's a cheap single, I think I'll get it with DH7. |
"filled with different vocal expressions" - I hope this doesn't mean duck voice lol.
Wonder if we'll get a PV this time. |
^LIT got a PV, if you mean the single itself then : "no DVD this time"
|
I hope this song is better than "LIT". Since it's getting released in the fall, I'm kinda hoping for something along the lines of "TABOO" or "Physical thing" at the very least.

Oh my God... when I thought LIT art was the worst we got this new cover... The picture is beautiful but this lip...
|
We can bet on the next cover, what element will be in it? I bet for a cellphone!
|
Quote:
Medium dance song, fits autumn, has different kinds of vocals (also a rap, which is mentioned as example) and sensual lyrics (the lip mark on the cover). And Kuu herself likes the song very much. So I wouldn't be surprised with something similar. |
^ I hope that's the vibe of the song, Bassline is sooooo great
|
Thanks for the review, Corvina! It seems that the concert is more interesting than BSC Tour, which wasn't that innovative. Can't wait to hear Stand by you, it's my favorite ballad of W FACE. Also, the white two-piece is way better than that blue one with a weird sleeve.
I'm curious about the song, the description isn't that interesting, thinking about the title and what they are saying about the song only comes Say Her Name in my mind, but it's not really a dance song. I don't mind the cover, I don't know why. It's okay for me. haha |
^They mention autumn, dance and only DAnce in the rain comes to my mind but then there is that lip on the cover and I dont know what to expect anymore. I just hope it is better than Lit
Thanks for the concert review corvina, sounds fun! |
Dance In The Rain was marketed as a 'dance ballad' though.
And you're welcome, guys! I've uploaded the full Kuu part of KICK THE CAN CREW Fes on mediafire. Enjoy! https://www.mediafire.com/file/e3hh7...1/KTCC_Kuu.mp4 Edit: Just saw on her official site, that the concert I went to was sold out after all. Guess they sold the last tickets that evening at the entrance.^^ |
I'd gladly take another song like Bassline, I looooove it! Surprisingly I still can't get enough of LIT. While I love LIT this era definitely has her worst single covers, I wonder if the 3rd single will have a cell phone next to her face or a tear.
I love KICK THE CAN CREW live & setlist but damn that crowd was dead indeed, at least it looks like Kumi herself had fun performing there and I'm so happy we got full live in HD. This is awesome. And thanks for the review Corvina, I can't wait for the Blu-ray. |

I'm bored as I'm waiting for my room check in the dormitory.
So I made a list of Kuu's most listened songs on Spotify. 01. Ai no Uta - 140,878 02. Ultraviolet - 123,988 03. Moon Crying - 117,372 04. Suki deshite - 77,234 05. W FACE - 72,481 06. Wicked Girls - 66,317 07. TABOO - 62,216 08. Suki de, suki de, suki de - 54,708 09. Cupcake feat. AKLO - 53,783 10. Cutie Honey - 52,576 11. Yume no Uta - 52,442 12. real Emotion - 51,889 13. Stand by you - 51,180 14. Koi no Tsubomi - 51,102 15. Yorokobi no Kakera - 43,336 16. Kimi Omoi 37,005 17. LIT -34,252 (September 15) There are quite a bunch of songs with around 20k plays after that. |
I'm happy to see that 10 out of 17 songs came out this year! And damn, Yume no Uta needs to be performed live again but I'm glad that it was at least featured in one of those special throwback MV clips from BEST SINGLE COLLECTION Tour.

I LIVE for Bassline. I can't get enough everrrrrrrrrr

Quote:
When will W FACE LIVE TOUR be broadcasted? September or October? |
I'm afraid we'll have a singles best, the last real single compilation is from 2010 :(
|
^honestly, i wouldn't mind. It could turn out great with loads of bonuses, revamped or remastered versions or whatever. We never know.
|
If that were Namie, I'd think so too, but Kuu doesn't have the habit of revisiting her songs on compilations. Usually just two or three of new tracks with their videos (which is not bad at the end of the day)

And I disagree - her fans would probably buy regular singles as well. But with the concept of a limited singles release, avex makes higher profits with the same sales as the costs are smaller. In the end it's her team though, who has all the infos about sales, tour popularity and so on. And Kuu is very invested in all of it as well (when thinking about the interviews from this era, maybe even a bit too much?). I'm sure they know, what they're doing. |
Yup, they must have much lowers costs and sales inside Japan probably haven't been affected that much, in the last years her singles were all selling the same so it's safe to assume it was the same fanbase.
On a similar note, they haven't announced yet what we'll get by buying the three singles, have they? I was thinking of waiting for December to get HUSH and the last one but I'm not sure if that would allow me to get the bonus. |
Quote:
There are 2 different designs for playroom and Koda Gumi. |
Oh, thanks for the info! So I just missed it :P Thanks!
I think I'll wait for December then, a totebag isn't on top of my must-have-goodies lol |
Quote:
I'm sure they do, I wasn't saying they don't. This kind of project is much more interesting rather than releasing a regular single in a simple jewel case. I'm all in for her next similar project. I also still think it's awesome how she released a double album. It's things like this make me appreciate Kumi even more as an artist, you can tell how much she's investing into everything from music to merchandise. Quote:
|
And when you guys think we're getting some information about the fan club tour that she's doing? Isn't gonna be in a couple of weeks?
|
Quote:
So we most likely get the info in December like usually with her tours. Btw. Ai no Uta is now 10 years old. The single was released on 12th September 2007. |
Quote:
|
It would have been cool if she put Ai no Uta ~10th Anniversary Version~ on HUSH single as a bonus track.
Did she ever mention if all of 3 singles will get a MV or just LIT cause it's 60th single? |

Almost 10 years I've been a fan then, I came across her when Last Angel had just been released

She also had dance rehearsals in between. It doesn't say what for, but I suppose for HUSH. |

Kuu's message and preview for So close/ Soba ni ite for the Disney album:
|
I am simultaneously confused by the shade of her eyebrows and really let down by the song preview lol. Pass
|
So close actually sounds really nice and her voice fits the song perfectly. I just wish she sang it in Japanese.
Quote:

Quote:
Her voice sounds so full and deep on So Close. Probably won't be the best ballad out there but sounds promising. And cmon Kuu record that Namie collab before she retires :laugh |
Quote:
Her English sounds nice at least and she's using her lower register, that's a plus. |
Quote:
|
Her twitter shared a cute video of Kuu listening to the audience of the 2nd Hyogo date on 23rd September singing Moon Crying for her.

Thank you for your uploading. By the way, HUSH is hushed as its name, i guess this time there is no PV probably:(. |

:) Yeah, never knew they're apparently such good friends. |
^ Is that Van?
Their music is so different, I would've never guessed they were friends either. |
Yes, that's Van and she also posted another pic on her Instagram:

Nice hairstyle, really hope it's for a music video
|
Cool just noticed that Kuu is finally on spotify
|
Ok,the short version of the HUSH PV is up on her FC.
Don't know if I should share it,but it will probably get uploaded by avex as well tomorrow or so. The song is... different than I expected. It's a mix of R&B and electro elements, fast and slow parts. You can say it is similar to Insane, without the screeching use of her voice. The PV at least is very similar to Insane. My forecast - you guys will love the song, but hate the PV. |
The song is awesome and the PV is not that bad. It is cheap, but with nice effects and all.
Here is a link to the video on baidu. - http://tieba.baidu.com/p/5351962791?pn=1 The chorus of the song is one of her bests, I really love it! |
I've ripped and uploaded it on YouTube in LQ.
Not listed, so it won't get taken down. And so Japanese fans won't burn me, lol. The song is really strong and her English good in it! |
Btw, are we sure that it's a short version? It seems that it's a short song but the PV seems complete to me. Did they stated as a Short Version on FC?
|
Quote:
The nature of the PV makes is quite easy to cut, I believe. They probably just moved the end to the middle part they stopped the short version at. And I was at least right with the sensual lyrics, yes! :laugh |
wOW, sounds nothing like I expected :laugh But it's a great song! I love the beat and the chorus is, well, FIRE. The PV is cheap but nicely done, you don't notice it was a simple shooting. I was sure this single with a terrible cover was gonna be amazing hahahah
I just don't get the title lol |
Why isn't the song called "Playing with Fire" or just "FIRE"? :laugh
But yes! This is totally what I want to hear! So much better than that mess, "LIT". |
Does anybody find it as hilarious as I do, that she is wearing actual fire service pants and a rain coat in the PV?:roflmao
|
I love this song very much and PV is ok, fits on the song.
Besides, the song reminds me of Bling Bling Bling and Ultraviolet. |
THE SONG IS DOPEEEEE !!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT !!!
ULTRAVIOLET + HUSHHHHH = TWERKKKKKK |
Daaaaaamn, I loooooove the song. SO BADASS. My Kuueen is the BEST as always. :luv2
Quote:
You are welcome guys if anyone is interested in BEST SINGLE COLLECTION Documentary DVD let me know and I'll upload it later. |
This is her best song in the past 5 years, hands down. I saw the word twerk above and wanted to vomit but thank god it's not a traditional "twerk" song, it's more of a "bring it on the dance floor" song. Less "TOUCH DOWN" and more "Get Up & Move!!"
The chorus is amazing, and I love the parts when her voice reaches for the high and lighter, airier notes in the verses. Excited for the full version cause if this is the full thing I will cut her team. First song I like from her in ages and were they to leave it under 3 minutes would be a massive tragedy. I'm hoping for at least 4 minutes. |
^god please no. I think up-beatish songs should end at 3min or at most 3:30
