^ is true! : D x D
then kumi has never had a REAL BEST, with themes that are not single.. O.o
I think there are better themes that are not single and they deserve to be in a BEST ALBUM :yes

LOL Too true, I guess we'll have to wait and see what they're going to come out with for her anniversary. Which is~~~~~ This year? *feels like a horrible Kumi fan*

She's haddddd BEST~BOUNCE & LOVERS~ which is probably the only kinda themey one and wasn't just singles :yes the CD has a selection of ballads from albums + Ashita e... and the DVD has her best dance PVs with different shots than the original + GET UP&MOVE!! and dance tutorial. Shame that was limited though, I think it would have done pretty well... way better received than OUT WORKS :headache

Anyway I totally agree with you! She needs a themey BEST album with new songs, not just a compilation

10th anniversary is on December 2010, 10th anniversary TOUR will be in 2011, obviously xD

yep yep! ^^
but this is also not a REAL BEST because it contains only ballads and dance PVs like you said...
OW&CB alike, are just the best collaborations.. =/

maybe a REAL BEST ALBUM will be released in 2011, for her 10th anniversary
the best songs of absolutely all her albums .. since affection to the last album
would be best :luv2

On some blogs, they mention Playroom got a preview of Lick me pv, so jealous... :thud:eviltongu

^Haha! That man does look like he's trying to steal the poster. The pics are really pretty too! Thanks for sharing! ^_^

:laugh

"hurry up! let's get this in the car!"

^ OMG at that photo :roflmao

classic :laugh

tired of waiting for the PVs :grumpy
unfair. I want that freakin' PV
LOL

instead of showing previews they should just release them and give the dates of the performances. hmpf.


LOL at the guy with the poster xD
it definitly looks like he's stealing it XDDD

omg~ I truly love that huge poster that the man is stealing(?) lol. xD
thanks a lot luver ♥

thanks for this JackieRos >3< ♥ ♥

I know people like Kumi for the sexy image but I would love to see her do a purely Ballads album with a cleaner image (think MOON). She truly has amazing vocals and its a shame that she doesnt get to show them off that much. It'll be refreshing. After that, she can go back to being sexy cause she's awesome at that too.

Oh, that's so adorable! I'm sending that to my phone!

..and Channing Tatum..:lech

:laugh That's just hilarious! He really does look like he's just nabbing it! I would if I was him!

Thanks! I had a feeling she debuted in 2000, but for some reason I thought I was wrong...

no no!
I was not referring to an 'best album' that contains only album themes..
but rather combined.. the BEST SONGS of both: albums and singles
a clear example.. the "best albums" of ayu: A BEST and A BEST 2 :yes

you're welcome ^^

^ yep! yes it is! xD :D

but I want a best that contains their best songs (without any specific theme) :(
that's why I said that perhaps for 2011, before the beginning of 10th anniversary tour *o*

^I wouldn't mind a best like that either...

I personally don't really consider ~B&L~ a best say like Ayu's first A BEST.

It would be nice to have one for Koda...and easier to give to people who are new, instead of telling them, "listen to this best and this best and this best"

You could just give them one album with all stellar tracks lol

the pachinko machine is :love
when is the FL in Hall II??

anyway, who's planning to go to her 10th anniversary next year (or 2011?), beside gubsi, juicy and me :lech ?
i hope Ayu & Kuu start the tour together like this year, so i can go both.. *hell broke!! yeah!!*

so her 10th anniversary is december?

^ December 6th 2010 will be the official day of Kuu's 10th anni :yes

If she does release a best I hope it's as nice as A COMPLETE, hopefully better :lech

FLIH II got 100,000 hits!!... :thud

http://koda2.com/

this is exactly what I mean.. :yes

oh god! new layout very soon! :luv2

Um, its just my opinion, but I think that she has too many compilation albums as is...Im too poor for all of them...but if she does release something like A-Complete...I'm all the way going to buy it. It'll probably be worth it. And congrats to her on 10th anniversary. She's actually the first Jpop artist I discovered (through FFX-2) but I didnt really start liking her music till now. Im currently hopelessly addicted to the Black Cherry album though. LOL...I dont think any Kumi thread has ever fallen into page 2. @_@ They're always almost on the front page, if not in the top five. Says something about how popular she is these days...

i would also blame it on the fact that a lot of kumi fans are v. dedicated to kuu

there isn't that many people that post in kumi's threads, it's usually the same group posting over and over :innocent

i see atleast 15 people in the kumi thread, sometimes more! so it's not as bad as some other threads (a few of the je ones have the same 3 ppl posting in them :roflmao but that's cool, that's what the forum is for~)

i am always posting in the kuu thread because i like a majority of the people who regularly post here :yes so i am partly responsible for keeping it bumped up

Count me in!:yes


..I hope I'm part of that majority. :laugh

That would be AWESOME! I'd love to see them performing together!:luv2

Damn I want that HUGE FEVER II poster! Be a good guy, please bring it to my home!! XD

woot!! December?! :thud
the plane ticket will cost hell lot!! :no
*yosh!! still have plenty of time to save bling bling bling :lech*

@Rikuchii: YAY!! hope all of us can go to the same date tour!!

I'm saving money since last month, only for next year Kuu's 10th Anniversary concert!
Cause plane ticket is very expensive!
And then hotel, food, shopping... and tour goodies (shirt, light stick & towel are must haves and then maybe shopping bag, poster, tour phamplet & other stuff)!
I hope i get concert tickets in tokyo, cause i want to go shopping there!

I really hope we all could go to the same concert! :yes
i think i'm crying my eyes out when i'm there! xD

Why?

Well actually, it doesn't matter why. Do it anyway >D

fail

the kumi fans here, we are a LARGE GROUP :yes
even more than in jpm I would say xD

Go go Kuuism :D The only artist thread I regularly post on is Kuu's @_@ I tend to forget about the others.. :headache

I'm getting tired of saying this but.... I WANT PVs :weep

:laugh That pic is awesome!
I want the the poster too! I hope we can order on YesAsia or CDJapan soon.... Too bad the font is fug. (IMO)

Koda Kumi is the only favorite jpop artist of mine that I don't have a poster for D:

That poster would be perfect for my room ;_;

well, i'm ready to spend all of my cash :roflmao
i think plane ticket will cost around $900-$1000 :headache (kyaa.. how many goodies can you get from that plane ticket!!)
how much does the Kuu's tour-ticket cost??
for hotel.. i think i'm gonna stay in Net-Cafe, it's cheap :roflmao

and Gubsi, if we met there.. i'm gonna cry together with you :lech

Please kind man bring it to my house! I might even pay for delivering...:innocent

Too bad I won't be able to go to her 10th Anniversary tour... :no

ah yay for new lay out!

I want A COMPLETE too

wow kumi kuus anniversary is almost one year away

YAY FOR 10TH ANNIVERSARY:love

http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z...0193593810.jpg

this is what I tought when I saw it :laugh

plane ticket to japan are between 800$-1300$!
Kuu tickets costs 7500Yen, so on YAJ you can get there between 60$-100$!
I must buy 2 tickets, cause i take a friend of mine with me (she's a great Kuu-fan too!)
LoL Net-Cafe is good! xD
Cheap Hotels are 30$ til 150$ for a 5 star Hotel for a night!

:helpcheer:bawl:weep
(RikkuChii, juicy, Me & Lee^Chan at Kuu's 10th Anniversary concert next year! xD) (did i forgot someone!?)

god that poster is lovely

of course! :heart

brandnewlove!!

i would never be able to go next year :weep maybe in 2011. it won't be as special but it's just 1 yr off :innocent

10th anniversary tour will be in 2011 >.<

technically it will be 1 1/2 years, but we should wait for an announcement first.

but i am planning to go now!

^ yep ^^

you go to the 2010 tour? or the tour of 10th anniversary?

nemesisyume: ahahah :laugh

CAUTION! SEXYNESS ALERT!

^ SO HOT!! :heart

----
oh my lol.

:yes It's such a wonderful movie and really, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have a total understanding of what pachinko is! :laugh

You are very welcome!! ;)

OOOOOOMG two days after my birthday!!! :D She better release something FAB so I can buy it for myself as a present!!! :yes

The photoshopped RihannaxKuu pic is HILARIOUS! :laugh

And I REALLY REALLY REALLY want that Kuu butterfly poster!!! :luv2

PVs can leak now, seriously...

O.o you speak seriously? xD

can someone plz link that site again that had all of kuu's tours and stuff and second session was split in parts? :scry

I don't like :no
she sings as if he had scared, very nervous x_X

you mean this?

thank you tsubasa! that is it :) and thanks cherrim lol

^that picture is actually not allowed at ahs :laugh

I don't think anyone remembers though.

Back in the day, people had it in sets and stuff, and all the haters complained and yeah...the picture is against the rules apparently.

Aww! That's so cute! Look at us! We're just bawling our eyes out!

^oh nah I dont think anyone will care...It just still makes me laugh that it was banned lol

^Why is that banned? @_@ Its not really inappropriate...I mean yeah she's naked but nothing's showing. As a shot of her, I really dont like her face in that pic but her body is @________________@.

please don't delete jackie!

:tipsy <-- this would be me @ the anni tour.. i snuck in a flask of course.

no, i would probably be one of the bawlers

O__O you speak seriously?
THAT LOL! XD

that would happen if this is an current picture? this should be published obligatorily, no? xD

Lol, the haters who complained that photo are so prudent imo... no offense to anyone though. It's not THAT porn-ish or inappropriate? Lol.

If I were at the Kuu 10th Ann tour I will knock out all the girls around me so that Kuu will choose ME to go on stage LOL.

I wish she would do a concert with Ayu or something....like she should make a surprise appearance at Next Level tour....like...open for Ayu singing Rule! Then they should switch and Ayu should appear at TRICK tour! Hello Avex! Genius. JK....iunno...I can only hope.

Kuu's website was updated with a preview of the Lick Me pv.
http://rhythmzone.net/koda/index.html

the wigs look gross but the pv looks cute. mango girl :D

I think I'm going to get the reg CD+DVD version

02. Lick me ♥
03. ECSTASY
04. 12:35 P.M. (Interlude)
05. 走れ!

08. ECSTASY (Caramel Pod E Remix)
09. 走れ! (420 Remix)
10. 12:00 A.M. (Outro)

I loved the remixes on FREAKY so hopefully these don't disappoint :yes

OMG LOL Lick me <3 (how do I do the black heart?)'s PV is so cutie! But she looks fug on the school bus, Mango Girl is still cutie :luv2!

And she changed "dum dum dum" to "doo doo doo"? Lol.

Wow the PV looks pretty good! I dont like her hair though. The PV reminds me of Beautiful Fighters for some reason.

OMG THE PV IS FABULOUS

this single is +++ so far, i love the do do do do do part as much as the dum dum dum dum dum part!

^ They're all cutie!!!

And omg I think 3 SPLASH might just be the FIRST single of ANY J-Pop singers that I'll buy the JP-press of when it comes to HMV... I hope HMV imports the limited edition cos I want the pouch lol~

OMG the pv looks so cute! i am not feeling mango girl but the rest of it makes up for that part :love

ikr? this is pretty much a mini album! i haven't been this excited for a Kuu release in a long time :spazzed

@waterballoon
i think instead of ♥ the heart is ❤ for Lick Me. i dunno how to make the fatter one i just copy and pasted it from last.fm

^ Lol yay I can use the black heart now for Lick me ❤! Thank you!

:roflmao mango girl is the best... :dead2

I hope there's strawberry girl cos strawberry is my favorite ice-cream flavor! :D

new magazine scans coming up!

The tracklisting and PV Preview both are looking great!!! This could possibly be the best release thus far this year. Well, for me anyway xD

for me too. and i have a feeling for most of the regulars here :tipsy:tipsy:tipsy

i can't wait, they're going to preview the ecstasy pv next

i agree. most releases from people i listen to have been rly disappointing this year.. i'm glad there's something for me to get excited about again :bshake

:yes :yes

more mags!

09/6/14（日） 「WHAT's IN?」
09/6/23（火） 「ViVi」
09/6/24（水） 「月刊ザテレビジョン」

:D:D:D

She was at a bowling alley in the preview so that makes sense with the cover. So I guess we can expect to see the same with the other PVs.

^ yep she uses each look from the cover.. hashire uses the basketball kuu, and ecstasy uses the butch kuu + 3 more outfits & weaves :love

also lol @ 4:20 interlude and 420 remix. kuu is a smoker i see

i wish ecstasy used basketball kuu even tho it doesn't really fit that image.. i don't like butch kuu :weep hopefully the other outfits will be cutie tho.

i'm glad we'll be getting spammed with magazine scans again :D

someone said she has her hair done sideswept and long like her perf with DBSK during last angel, on their tour.

i'm glad! i love that hairstyle. ecstasy deserves cute looks

her hair looked really good during that perf, i hope she has that hair for most of the pv :yes

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...05#post1975005

we are almost to 500 posts!! everyone post here when you are finished yah? :)

Haven't posted here in some days but I saw the preview of "Lick me". It's so cute and it reminds me of "Candy Man".

so Lick me is Lick (ice cream) U_U. I love the PV...so happy ^^

oh well posted the 3 splash pics in the new thread already :D

Was posted in the other thread, but we need to fill this one up so...

I don't think shes wearing wigs CD only and CD+DVD. I think they might be extensions. Well the CD+DVD one might be extensions.

Lol I love to speculate.

Well this thread can go away now. ON TO THE 81ST THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
