Recent Updates

Do you guys think that she'll ever sing any of these covers ever again after this album is over?

I believe so, I think we might get a few of them at Fantasia and maybe some on her upcoming tours.

DRIVING HIT'S is such an incredibly good album :heart I was disappointed with DH2 but this one is perfection. I had so much fun listening to those remixes! I was almost dancing lol.


Generally, tracks which I wasn't paying attention to or which I disliked before have gained love from me lately. I can't remember if I've enjoyed cute and mood lifter songs that much earlier! Lady Go!, Good☆day, Comes Up, Koi no Tsubomi, To be one, I'll be there, Shake It Up, With your smile, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, show girl, SUPERSTAR :heart

^ show girl, Comes Up, Good Day, SUPERSTAR... I've been listening to them a lot lately, show girl especially puts me in a good mood.

Yeah I love show girl its my favorite song of hers. It has like the perfect melody and vocals during the chorus that its just .

show girl is such a unique song from her... why I've been hating this before lol. Instrumental part at the end is so... funky :heart

ONLY UP TO THE FIRST 3 TRACKS OF ETERNITY BUT KUMI GURLLLLLLLLLLLL!

This is the music that suits her so well in my opinion! VERY impressed! :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

:love

Also, I tried do this on my own but I feel like I'm missing some performances... This year Kumi had the UNIVERSE tour 2010 (18 dates), then DMP in Yokohama (2 dates?), then a-nation... NOW billboard (2 dates?)... and when is the 8-date show in Tokyo and Osaka? And is Fantasia only two dates? I can't keep track of this woman but I feel like I'm losing my mind because I seriously can't remember all the shows...

OMG TRACK 4!!!!!!!!!! The first 4 tracks of this album blows her past two albums and recent two singles out of the OCEAN! Into Jupiter some damn where to be sucked up in storms for all ETERNITY! xD;;;;;

^ I remember there is also a special event for woman only?...

The Billboard Live is the 8-date concert in Tokyo and Osaka, and FANTASIA only has one date.

Show girl's the reason why I gained the title as a nickname. It'll forever be one of my favorite songs. :heart

Oh thanks!

OMG that's the 8-date show I was furiously looking for xD; lol. Thank you babe!

Needing help from you, Kuufans: does someone have it in mp3?

And anybody knows where can I download/listen to DJ YUTAKA's BELIEVE feat. Kuu?

Oh and I haven't know she performed everybody on the second session Tour with that SMAP member! (I don't have that song as well lol) From not-included-in-concert-collaboration-lives I've watched only TRICK Tour ones.


Are there some unofficial collaboration performances with Kuu worthy watching?

Can't get over how great ETERNITY is! Now I'm even MORE excited for the billboard performance! Do you guys think we'll get some insane DVD box set for all these performances?

OMG, i´ve watched the UNIVERSE Tour! It´s amazing!!
I think the part with "Can we go back", "FREAKY" and "Work it out!" is the best! She looks so hot! Harr.

And i cried so much during "You´re so beautiful". ;_;

Kumi, you are my queen!!

ETERNITY is awesome. The whole cover album idea is great. I was already into Jpop oldies for months now, and was really looking forward to "I love you, SAYONARA" but I'm a lil' disappointed with that one. TATTOO, Wine Red no Kokoro etc are amazing.

I think Kuu should also have added Ii Hi Tabidachi which she sung at FNS in 2009. That was one awesome cover too *-*

This. She has so many things going on that I can't tell what tour is what XDD But good that she got herself a packed schedule.

Kuu feat. RATHER UNIQUE - EVERY AFTER PARTY
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H5NTWLP8

Kuu feat DJ YUTAKA - BELIEV
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CDE8D2KS

Kuu feat. SMAP - Everybody
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=D88NTJ1K

I cried during the BUT performance of UNIVERSE, not going to lie

You're an angel sent from heaven, thank you! :shughug

uuh, thank you for posting this! Never heard the song before and I really like it:yes

So when do you guys think we'll get the next original album? I think we still have like 2 singles to go before they'll announce anything.

Next spring, early summer?

Koda Kumi :heart

This woman is the inspiration of my life. You know, there's this unexplainable happiness working out/running to her songs... something like, she's been ridiculed before & so I am at my overweight state lol... just waiting & wanting to be as hot & awesome as she is right now!

I'm so addicted to "Hearty..." lately. it's such an amazing song :heart

thanks for the new thread ero bb. we're so fast filling them up haha

^yeah i love that song too! :heart
there are many ways at the moment...

●she could release her 49th single in december and the 9th album in the last week to get double sales and end the anniversary...

●she could release her 49th at the beginning and the 50th in the last december week to end the anniversary

●she could just release the 49th single in december


hmm idk...
i mean the point is we just don't know what she will do with her 50th single...

● maybe she'll push it to release it in december with her 49th single as a special 10th release...

● or she'll wait for an album after the 49th and release the 50th as the new summer 4 a-side, cause i think her 50th single will at least have 3/4 a-sides, cause it's something special to reach it!
and she could promote a 50th Single BEST with it or not... let's see

BUT i don't think only she is 2 singles away from the 50th it will be a single for her next album!!

yey a new thread and I listened to ETERNITY before that happened lol. :D And thanks for the download links for Everybody, Every After Party and Believe. I haven't heard those yet so I'm really happy those links were posted. <3

Megumi no Hito! :heart
My fav song on the cover album.
TATTOO, BE MY BABY and Chiisa na Koi no Uta are great as well.
Can't wait to get my copy.

...Are you me? :laugh

Aww good luck! If Kuu can do it, I'm sure you can too!


I know this sounds greedy but I want a new single now!
She's been releasing so much more lately and I'm used to it! I'm such a spoiled fan.

anyway I've just made a "BE MY BABY" ringtone, feel free to use!
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...wpost&t=104718

Thanks!!

I just watched Universe Tour today, and I absolutely LOVE IT!! I think it is my favorite tour she's done so far! For me, just about everything about this concert is absolutely perfect~!

I'm downloading the UNIVERSE tour right now... I've been either without internet or staying at hotels with internet at crawling speeds. But I'm in Las Vegas tonight and I'll let the download run when I go out tonight! It's going pretty fast, too. I wish I could've bought it or downloaded it sooner, but I just moved across the country and it's been a lot of work and I don't have internet at my new home yet. :weep

I used to hate "Work It Out!" but after the performance on UNIVERSE Tour I'm soooo addicted to it.

ooo where are you staying! Vegas is my third home lol

Have fun tonight! Don't lose all your munny!

I'm so excited for you to watch the tour lol

I love Megumi no Hito too! <3 Both the cover AND the original! :D

If you all wanna see "BE MY BABY" original singer.
Type COMPLEX - BE MY BABY to watch the MV !

"I used to hate "Work It Out!" but after the performance on UNIVERSE Tour I'm soooo addicted to it. "

I have that song on repeat sometimes when I'm at the gym. It's the only thing that motivates me lol.

This may be a bit off topic but my brother was a dj for a college radio station here in town and all he plays is japanese music and tonight was his last show. For one of the last few songs he played Walk ~to the future~

I would die to do that! A friend of mine was trying to get me to go to his school and he said I could play whatever I wanted as well!

I just totally read it one way, wrote my answer in a totally different way, because I thought I could be witty or something, but I just totally and epically failed at it. Going off in too many directions, but not really paying attention. I admit. Everyone is entitled to a few mistakes in life, and I just used one of mine up.

----------------

Avex is really doing a great promotion...Hope it increases the sales

Am I the only one who finds the Color of Soul PV to be really weird and freaky? o_o

:laugh I've never seen, but now I'm gonna get on it just cause of what you said.

That's so cool! Too bad tonight was his last show.
It must be so cool to hear Jpop on your college radio. I want that too!:yes

even more freaky when she looked like BoA :thud

it's one of the worst PVs ever x_X'

lol no never

hey guys! is there a good website with translations of kuu's songs? especially of the recent albums, thanks in advance! ^^

Thank you very much!! ^_^

Yeah I go there a lot its so useful I'm so glad someone made it.

COLOR OF SOUL PV is creepy indeed. :D

Who else here thinks Chiisana Koi no Uta is an amazing song? *hopes she's not alone*

^ meeeee ;D and seems like it's the favorite eternity song of japaneses too, because it's doing great in the recochoku rankings since its release

kumibrasil has today's performance of Chiisana Koi no Uta @ Music Japan for download:

(Click on the picture)

I totally loved it :luv2

I think 10/12 of the songs on ETERNITY are :heart C K n U being one of them!

^^ thanks, gonna watch it later!

rumor about an upcoming single

Weird, I thought the avex flyer said it was called "When I discovered love" ?

^^LoL i posted this rumor like Many Moons Ago...
there was a fax from avex for some cd shops and this was listed...
http://i51.tinypic.com/10nf3oi.jpg

if this is true, i think we can expect first details by the end of the week when ETERNITY has charted, etc...

"the moment i discovered love" was a translation from a member here..
and
"the breakthrough moment of love" is just a google translator translation...

sorry, I haven't seen this earlier. :shrug

^LoL don't say sorry...
i didn't mean it bad!

That song makes me cry. That's something no other Kumi song could ever do.

I just finished watching the UNIVERSE Tour in the car on my way home and I was just so impressed. As a whole production, it was just so theatrical and just awesome. I did have one sinking feeling as the tour was ending, and that was "how can she top this?" and I feel like she did with Dream Music Park, but it just makes me wonder what's next. I just hope there won't be a dip in quality like the Kingdom Tour which was pretty basic. I love Kuu's huge, crazy, flamboyant shows. I hope FANTASIA won't disappoint. She really raised the bar for herself this time!

I just counted on my phone, and Kumi has released 30 new songs this year, excluding the remixes. This woman keeps herself busy!

^
I hope you weren't driving and watching the tour at the same time lol.

i hope is true, the title sounds as a ballad again, but is ok,

@edu: thanks for CKnU..
she didn't/haven't memorized the lyric yet?? She kept looking at the monitor in front of her :shrug It looks a lil bit weird for kuu to do that (but at least she didn't lip-sync)
Plus, i love her long hair :heart

^It is kind of weird, considering that one time on the MS special she was mouthing the lyrics to like every song lol


@erokakkoi: I know right. I just cant believe how great eternity is. I think I love, like every song...there might be 1 or 2 that I'm iffy about...but...man...thats a big deal for me.

Love the BONNIE PINK reference. :3

I LOVE Chiisana Koi no Uta SO MUCH <3

when we can choose our TOP 3 from ETERNITY on the official site...
i think my TOP 3 would be:

01. Chiisana Koi no Uta
02. BE MY BABY
03. hmm i'm between Wine-Red no Kokoro, Swallowtail Butterfly ~Ai no Uta~ & SWEET MEMORIES...

xDDD :heart
i thought no one would recognize it! LoL

with kumi u never know what kind of song this will be...
i mean i thought stay with me would be midtempo or a cute pop song...
i thought Alive would be rockish'...
and Koi no Tsubomi a ballad...
so let's see...

for me... i'm still hoping for a cutie song...
i would be happy for something cutie midtempo stuff... it's been a while since anytime...
or like With your smile/JUST THE WAY YOU ARE/Lady Go! uptempo sweet sugar gay pink i'm in love song!! :heart
would fit the FANTASIA theme i think with a dreamy/cutie song...

is that bad?

jk my boyfriend was driving. :P but he was watching too!

PS Gubsi I love your avatar :laugh

Yeah I have a friend who feels the same way lol. When they do pledge drives to fund the program one of the things you can buy is time on the radio to play what you want. It was a lot of fun driving around town actually listening to jpop/rock on the radio. The guy taking over now seems more into kpop so it may become a kpop show lol.

1. Sweet Memories
2. Chiisana Koi no Uta
3. 0 Ji Mae No Cinderella

BUT it's too hard to pick, I love BE MY BABY and Swallowtail Butterfly also

1. Sayonara no Mukougawa

Is Megumi no Hito really "Best of Me"? From tenshi no hane's LJ I thought it meant "Fire Fighter" :laugh

chiisana koi no uta. just that. really good and so much better than the original. horaaa~ horaaaaaaa~

Megumi no Hito is an awesome song!
I liked 0-ji Mae no Tsunderella as well~
I'm still listening though...
I also really liked Swallowtail Butterfly ~Ai no Uta~!

2 - Megumi no Hito
3 - 0-Ji Mae no Cinderella
4 - Sayonara Mukougawa
5 - Chiisana Koi no Uta

<3

Oh and I watched UNIVERSE tour. Amazingness <3

Actually I have no idea lol. Google gave me "Best of Us Group" but Megumi means "Blessing" and Hito is a person but she also used 組 which means group. So I got really confused lol so maybe Best of Us would be better instead?

As "blessing", 'megumi' is written 恵み。
’め組’ on the other hand is an archaic word meaning "fire brigade" so something along "Firefighter" is correct.

Cherrim your set is gorgeous! Ai no Uta <3

Thanks for clearing that up! I'm still learning so..yeah:spazzed:spazzed

from Hikkikun @ JPM:

^ what did that person eat to... vote misono as Artist #2? lol anyway I'd do it!

EDIT: This is what I've voted... lol

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5544/picture2oev.png

Anyway my TOP favorite tracks for ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~ are definitely:

3) BE MY BABY/TATTOO
