I have to wait until like... the end of September to order anything because I'm moving to California at the end of the month and I don't know where I'll be living yet! :weep

But once I know my new address I am definitely ordering this tour... I can't wait!

thanks for make new thread, ero-kakkoi

jbrat2219 15th September 2010 01:16 AM

Nice tread baby!

I'm actually really excited to get my copy of her cover album! I hope her arm looks a little better on the packaging though! :laugh

do it again 15th September 2010 01:18 AM

I will also order the cover album! I will order them together... I am excited for both of these things! I hope Kumi will have a new single come out in November! And then her 50th in December! DO IT, KUMI.

P.S. I rated this thread 5 Stars!

freedreamer 15th September 2010 01:23 AM

that's really rude and disrespectful for them to do, i hope they will grow up. i wonder if the website will change to be the cover album's theme or the tour... maybe the tour for like a week, then the cover album? i want to see one of those trailers for the tour like they usually have on the site! we haven't seen any video except that little digest in the best lives box because they didn't air it on WOWOW this year!

emi♡ 15th September 2010 01:57 AM

it seems they've already gotten around to rating it down. What losers.


I've been watching all kinds of old tours~ Kuu's dancers have the most fun things to do!

Must have universe tour now...especially after Florensia said it was totally amazing when we were talking about how great her tours have been lately :thud How great can it get?! lol

milky_way 15th September 2010 03:38 AM

Kuu-haters can stay pressed.

Kingdom 15th September 2010 03:43 AM

LOL 3 STARS NOW.

anywho, http://www.megavideo.com/?d=ZQA0PEGH

can someone tell me what they're saying? I know he is a fan of Kumi (tegoshi yuya that is) but I wanna know what was said!

emi♡ 15th September 2010 03:58 AM

^earlier I voted 5 stars, and it went down :laugh

Does anyone have audio from kuu's tour dance segments...pretty sure these are not like released tracks right lol...

or did anyone rip the audio from the taiwan tour? Was gonna do it myself...but...figured I'd ask first....lol

Pieces_of_SEVEN 15th September 2010 04:11 AM

wait... TATTOO?? Is she covering Jordin Sparks song?

ILoveGeniuses 15th September 2010 04:25 AM

No she's only covering old japanese songs from the 60s70s and 80s.

^^Thanks for that

LacusClyne 15th September 2010 05:02 AM

Someone was asking me about the UNIVERSE tour DVD, OS press about english subs in the previous thread, actually it come with chinese subs, and i'm chinese... so i can understand it perfectly well. (^_^)

or rather... my chinese is way better then my english.

xLuna&1LOVE 15th September 2010 05:09 AM

Wow, Ayu's covers are a down, but Kuu's are a total up. My god, she looks awesome on the coveralbum, and the dvdtour cover isn't bad either. Great!

Polyrhythm 15th September 2010 05:33 AM

C'mon avex....Ayu gets the TVXQ guy in her PV...and Kumi gets.......misono. This is hardly fair :P

Minttulatte 15th September 2010 10:01 AM

I'm so excited about her concert, cover album and the single right now. Kuu really knows how to make her fans excited about her releases. <3 Right now I've completely lost my interest in Ayu, I'm 100% concentrated on the Queen Koda Kumi. <3

First Kuu explained that she designed the kimono herself, which is related to a drama theme song (maybe Oh-Oku movie)

Kuu's question to NEWS Tegoshi Yuya:
Your skin always looks shining, what do you do to keep your skin looks so pretty?
Tegoshi Yuya (being asked how old he is): I just turn 19; well I don't think it's that shining; I only do some treatment before sleep. I don't really do much.

Tegoshi Yuya's question to Kuu:
I wanna know about ero-kakkoii..

Kuu: men.. as i thought, do you like "ero-kakkoii" type of girl?
Yuya: Yes, of course i like that "ero-kakkoii" type..
Kuu: Really?! So do you (ask other NEWS members) also like this type too?
Yuya: Well maybe they like it too, sexy..
Kuu: But hey, look at these amazing girls (pointing at some girls in front), they're all "ero-kakoii" type too, right??
Host: so you're not the only one..

I'm sorry it's hard to understand those crazy hosts.. they speak so fast :scry

Her voice itself reminds me of a voice in a song I have on one of my Sailormoon soundtracks. :) Sounds cool.

jbrat2219 15th September 2010 05:13 PM

That song sounds weird! I'm sure Kuu can rock it out though.

ILoveGeniuses 15th September 2010 05:16 PM

^I just think it sounds like 80's jpop. I remember hearing that quite a bit.

Nackar_91 15th September 2010 05:34 PM

I've seen some live performances of the song and it sounds a bit less outdated there. I can totally imagine it being a hit in the 80s!

I like the original. it's sound sooo unique and I can't wait for Kuu's rock version.

Here are the lyrics:

Spoiler:
Tattoo

Kanji

都会にはびこる 哀れなアンドロイド
くどき上手のチープな レプリカント
ハートの萎えた男は要らない Get out!
チャンスをあげるわ熱いレポリューション
錆びた魂 バラのTATTOOを
紅く刻んで生まれ変わるのよ Get up!
さあひえた胸にじっと眠る炎 起こして
いまゾクゾクする夢を追ってごらん
[Take a dream]
手頃な恋いで麻痺したエモーション
感動したくて 女はアジテーション
言葉じゃなくて SOULを感じたい Wake up!
いま瀬戸際だわ 焦り焦り凍りつく私を
さあ欲しいのなら 愛を見せてごらん
[Take a chance]

show me your Real Love
咲かせなさい その胸に消えないバラを
show me your Real Love
堕としてみてこの私 TATTOOで
JUST FALLING YOU

都会はsweet Drug
いかさまパラダイス
孤独にまみれて 恋いもパラノイア
優しささえ 毒入りのジェリービーンズ
Wake Up!
いま時代というぬるいベットなんか 這い出て
さあわしづかみで愛を獲ってごらん
[Take a love]
show me your Real Love
空白い胸に焼きつけて 消せないバラを
show me your Real Love
刻みつけて 私へと TATTOOを
JUST FALLING YOU

show me your Real Love
咲かせなさい その胸に消えないバラを
show me your Real Love
堕としてみてこの私 TATTOOで
JUST FALLING YOU

English
Helpless androids spread through the city
A verbose and extremely cheap replicant
I don't need a man with a withered heart, get out!
A hot revolution that gives me a chance
A rose tattoo on a rusted spirit
I'm reborn, carved in deep red, get up!
So, rise flames in my cold heart that sleep quietly
Now, follow your dreams one after another
[Take a dream]
My emotions were paralyzed by moderate love
I want to be excited, women are agitation
I want to feel my soul without words, wake up!
Now is a critical moment, I'm frozen with impatience
So, if you want me, show me your love
[Take a chance]

Show me your real love
Make it bloom, the un-disappearing rose in your heart
Show me your real love
Try to degenerate me with your tattoo
Just falling you

The city is a sweet drug
A paradise of fraud
Covered in loneliness, love is paranoia
Supported by kindness, jelly beans with poison inside
Wake up!
Now, start to crawl to a tepid bet called "time"
So, grabbing ahold of it, get some love
[Take a love]
Show me your real love
Scorch the un-disappearing rose in your blank heart
Show me your real love
Carve a tattoo into me
Just falling you

Show me your real love
Make it bloom, the un-disappearing rose in your heart
Show me your real love
Try to degenerate me with your tattoo
Just falling you

I was really interested because I remember reading that Tegoshi is a really big fan of Kuu and I thought it might have something to do with that. He also likes ero-kakkoii style too!

I really like the melody and I can totally imagine Kuu singing it!
The tone of the original singer's voice is similar to Kuu's.
I'm looking forward to that cover album!

ILoveGeniuses 15th September 2010 08:40 PM

Seriously, i like Akina Nakamori's voice on this song Tattoo. Reminds me of stuff you used to hear for like anime music of series from like the 80's and very beginning of the 90's. If any of her other songs are pretty good like this, I could really see myself listening to her on a regular basis.

Oh and i heard Kuu's preview of her version on Kuu's website. Sounds really good.:)

do it again 15th September 2010 09:51 PM

^oh cool. just i dont like getting ringtones of ballads. Usually not loud enough for when ur in a busy place to be able to hear it. Still i bet it'd sound nice. :)

wow.. suki de still tops at #1..
and sista ayu's virgin road is coming~

we'll get the PV series in less than a week!! :heart
I want "anata dake ga" sooo baaadd!!

jbrat2219 15th September 2010 11:23 PM

I kind of figured Kumi would chart better digitally than Ayu this time around because Ayu is releasing too much at one time, if fans have multiple favorites the songs may not get as high.

Chaku-uta also offers a Chaku-uta Full service, meaning you get to download the entire song on your phone. Japanese phones are very advanced, so I assume most Japanese people use their phone as their MP3-player. In this way, Chaku-uta is a bit like iTunes.

edit: never mind I just noticed Chaku-uta full has a different chart from the regular Chaku-uta. However, new tracks usually don't get a Chaku-uta Full right away, so right now the only way the Japanese fans can download Suki de x3, is by Chaku-uta. I bet the purpose for most of them isn't to set it as their ringtone, but just to listen to it like we'd listen to a Crossroad preview over and over again.

ILoveGeniuses 15th September 2010 11:49 PM

^oh cool. I can play music on my phone too. Just i dont have enough room for all my music on it and i just enjoy using my ipod.:)

Just ringtones on our phones have a time limit as far as i know. I don't think we can fit a 3-4 minute song as a ringtone.

Oh and i heard Kuu's preview of her version on Kuu's website. Sounds really good.:)

I can totally see Kumi singing this song ^^
I'm reall excited about all her releases!

there are too much intentions from avex to keep all like in secret.. :S I mean, her previous tours always appears on tv programs, tv spots in tv, and even they always are retransmited by wowow, but this year it's like they don't want to show ANYTHING!

I'm glad in some way for this, 'cause I will enjoy a lot this tour watching it from begining to end! :D

^lol oh, people will come up with lots of reasonings why a koda single would do better than an ayu single in any way...

i mean, lollipop had all those songs and....you know, moon only had two...and only one pv I think...that whole deal.

But Koda is doing really well lately. I'm excited for her.

"As of late?". Kuu has always been a huge digital seller in the past ; ). (And by always I mean since she started becoming popular). It's just since recently (UNIVERSE era) that her singles "just" started getting certified gold instead of platinum or more...

I know, but I was around when she took a dip down, where she didn't chart as well for ringtones or digital sales, and she recently got that back again.

Why are you even a TA member? Lol I think it's pretty pointless in general IMO, especially when Ayu isn't your #1. While there's nothing wrong with it, I think most TA members are just members just to be part of it. I mean her blog entries and news that "comes first" to TA members are immediately out to everyone via places like AHS. I guess the only other benefit besides the sense of community is the shop and little extras with pre-orders.

Are you a member of Koda Gumi too? What do they get there?

I am a member of TA just to support Ayu, because I buy 0% of the stuff she releases and I feel kinda bad. lol. I'm not a member of Koda Gumi because I buy everything she releases, but I'm planning on joining both Playroom and Koda Gumi when I cancel TA. Which may be soon...

Kuu is pretty popular on Google, huh?

LacusClyne 17th September 2010 04:57 AM

i'm a member from TA and koda gumi.

the best part is being a member is that we can buy FC versions of cds with special goodies. Then you can join the lottery for concert tickets or when they open audiences for live performances(which is more for japanese or if you are planning to go there).

TA have more material then koda gumi actually.
koda gumi only have updates, while at TA we get ayu's diaries, along with updates. By right, ayu's TA diaries should not be leak out, as this is AYU'S WISH. That's why i don't post the content out, as i will have a bad feeling that i'm betraying ayu....
AyuChina had once got into deep trouble when they post the content of ayu's entry about her deaf ear, AyuChina was almost force to close down.

Kuu is so close to beat up mother Ayu's ass. >: D I wish Kuu would do that because personally I think Suki de, suki de, suki de / Anata dake ga is WAY better than crossroad will ever be. I wonder what some fans might say if Kuu took the top spot from "the queen" lol. It might be a hell of a scandal lol. :luv2

Oh and Kuu's rechoku/chaku-uta success is spectacular. I'm so happy for her. <3

no hard feeling, kay~

tenshi no hane 17th September 2010 08:58 AM

I actually like crossroad better, but I've never been a big fan of Kuu's ballads anyway (aside from hands, No Way & aishou). I just want that cover album to be released XD I want 小さな恋のうた and Swallowtail Butterfly in full :heart

Minttulatte 17th September 2010 10:38 AM

^I personally love Kuu ballads so much. Every single love song she has ever sung/released. :D

SURREAL__RAINBOW 17th September 2010 10:49 AM

I love crossroad a thousand times better than suki de x3 sorry kuu :(

I love all of my kuu ballads, but this new single needs time to grow in me... crossroad was instant love! <3




I don't like the fact that people are saying that one is better than the other one as a "fact", because in fact, those are all opinions.

I cant imagine Koda's single beating Ayu's. I think the site would be temporarily unavailable for like a whole week lol


...I think the singles are actually, pretty comparable in terms of quality/quantity/whatever...that usually doesnt happen.

I always wondered what that movie at Best -ss- tour was, but I've never found an satisfying answer. And you have it all-! :love

I'm a bit surprised that Kuu is doing better this year on digital charts than Ayu. Last year Ayu was stronger. Ninki numbers are pretty close for both, I'm excited which one will win "the battle". I would be so happy if Kuu could win, cause I think Ayu's releases this year aren't that good (both album and singles), even though I love crossroad. Ayu still was the best between 2004-2007.

xLuna&1LOVE 17th September 2010 11:39 AM

^ Rock&Roll circus was a good release, at least to my opinion. But she lost the 'epicness'
And now Kuu got that 'epicness' we were waiting for. I'm also surprised - because I dislike Kuu's ballads - that I can't stop listening to her new single.
Maybe this is just Kuu's year. Next year Namie's maybe? Or maybe Ayu? Who knows...
