Rihanna: who are you china girl?
HAPPY POSTING!

Isn't it kinda early for a new thread, seeing how the other didn't even hit 495 posts yet?

HAHA! I love the title!

thank you! it's very cheesey but when have the titles for the kuu threads not been cheesey? :cool

i'm updating the first post with the new setlist for trick tour and costume photos! if anyone could be so kind to please donate some :)

Great first page Juicy <3

these are the last photos by SANSPO ^^

thanks! i wonder why ahs is so anti kuu! voting her poor threads down :(

the limited edition of 3 splash is sold out again :tired i didn't get a chance to grab it so i'm going to get the cd+dvd. i don't care about the pouch that much i guess... :scry

Oh my god, why are her new costumes so great? Which one does she use for TABOO? or isnt that costume in the list(i think none really fits the song)

Seriously. Isn't it annoying? Guess they have nothing better to do.

Maybe it's because kuu is owning everyone this year.


I still can't believe that dress cost 80 million yen lol

80 million yen o.0 isnt that like...800k dollars or something? or am i completely wrong and its 80k? xD would still be really much

<3 love the thread title juicy!!!

what song did she sing with that 80 million dress?
it's about $842,992.61 USD

^$842,992.61 USD!!!
That is like reall~y much!
Could anybody post pics of the concert and say which songs she performs in them?
Would be so~~ nice!!!

I cant believe the dress really was that expensive, doesnt look nearly as expensive to me(come one, its a few lightbulbs and lots of fabric which doesnt even have to be very good because you only look at all the lights and the size of it anyway and not at the fabric)
Did kuu say it was that expensive? I want a source xD unless i get a source i wont believe it xD

in the last thread some say that it's probably the cost for ALL the outfits
which makes more sense

thank god if that dress didn't cost 80 million LOL

*COUGH* 79th thread isn't full yet *COUGH*

*breaths out loudly*
Otherwise it would have been insane for all the costumes...id say its not THAT special, we dont get to know how expensive ayus tours for example are, but i guess her costumes are not way "cheaper"

I edited my post loll
somebody quoted what somebody said on jpm loll

yeha I guess her costumes are not cheap
but on the other hand it's better 80 million for all of them than for only one dress

as I said in the previous thread.. appear to be 80 million for all costumes...
with that dress of "Christmas tree" she sings stay with me (in the previous thread there is a TV REPORT of tour showing this^^)

OMG I LOVE THE FIRST POSTE ESPECIALLY THE CHINA GIRL PART.Eeek,AHS is anti-Kuu because they are ~prude~.

And everyone,do you like the acoustic version of flower?

open your rove frower :) i love that version

That's so cool that Black Eyed Peas came to perform Boom Boom Pow. I hope it gets put on the DVD


You might be able to get the pouch when YesAsia post the Hong Kong version of the single.

does yesasia still have the pouch? i don't want to buy from them since they send me cracked CD cases but i rly want the pouch :irked

:laugh :laugh :laugh

That's perfection. :roflmao

*Currently has dirty ballroom playing in the background* :innocent I really love this concert. :heart

Oh that's much better hahaha.

juicy that was a cutie and funny first post!

That Ain't Kuu... OMG This is really funny!

YesAsia is still taking orders for the pouch but it's $34.25 USD. That's $11.75 more than the regular CD+DVD edition. :dead2

I know that YA usually jacks up their prices to cover their "free shipping" but why charge an extra $10+ for a pouch?

oh, i doubt i will use the pouch so i'll just go with CD + DVD.. and cdjapan :no

just to let everyone know, the dress itself wasn't that expensive. all the costumes in total are that expensive. my japanese friend was sitting next to me when watching it the 2nd time.

it will probably have the picture of kuu with the bowling ball. since the extras usually use her cover and stuff :yes

i don't use any of the extras i get.. i have a few kuu mirrors and a couple sticker sheets, and a tshirt i got with the secret cd.

i really want the WHO'S HUNG LIKE A BULL? tshirt from secret first class limited live :scry

OMG juicy-man! You rock for the thread title and the "trolling" monologue.

The tour and 3 SPLASH are all looking great :D Kuu seems to be on quite the roll this year~

thanks for saying this^^
then... now is safe that japantoday is a phoney :grumpy

i think this was posted in the last thread but kumi recorded two live perfs earlier for music japan!

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/MAGAMI-TOHRU/20090601/p1

lets hope for ecstasy and lick me! or maybe that ain't cool with fergie since they were there.. :love

lol black eyed pers

Oh cool, she's performing twice :D Can't wait to see the it :).

She will most likely sing Lick me and ECSTASY. =D

Can I just say, that the long peach dress with the slit.. is one of the nicest outfits I thik I've ever seen Kuu wearing. I'm totally just amazed with how beautiful she looks in it *__*

wow new thread already?! in less than 3 weeks??
i just can't keep up with Kuu's thread lately.. you guys are going crazy :roflmao

and yeah!! finally ecstasy live performance!!

Kumi: i admire you rihanna for not trolling in my thread!
Rihanna: who are you china girl?

:laugh :laugh


so I asked in the other thread if the CD+DVD version of 3 splash has more songs than the other ones but I couldn't find it so could someone answer again... :innocent

The CD+DVD version has the 3 songs (Lick me, ECSTASY and hashire!), 3 remixes one for which song and on the DVD the 3 PVs of the songs. =D

Yes, it has:

<CD収録曲>
M1, INTRODUCTION
M2, Lick me SANKYO「KODA KUMI FEVER LIVE IN HALLⅡ」CMソング
M3, ECSTASY
M4, INTERLUDE
M5, 走れ!
M6, INTERLUDE

M8, ECSTASY Remix
M9, 走れ! Remix
M10, OUTRODUCTION

<DVD収録曲>

M2, ECSTASY MUSIC VIDEO
M3, 走れ! MUSIC VIDEO

The other two don't have the remixes.

^ i love this report ♥
thank you!!! :D

yay for the new thread.

I think her dress in the CMs is really pretty :yes I want it :weep

I hope she'll perform ECSTASY and Lick Me :)

I think after BEP performed their Boom Boom Pow (and possibly Pump It or one of their famous songs), Fergie joins Kuu for That Ain't Kuu (sorry I couldn't help this after seeing what juicy had typed in the first post :laugh)

And then Kuu comes back again for Lick me <3 and ECSTASY.

oh thanks corvina and ayumisrael for the information :love

whoaa thanks Luver!!
i really want the CM Making of!!

is these had been poste before?

yup they were posted in the other thread :yes

also, loving the title juicy :D

Black Eyed Peas was performing? Very nice. I think I'm going crazy for this tour. Kuu really has many surprises this year. I think TRICK tour might become my favourite Kuu concert. :D

I uploaded the radio rip of Hashire! in downloads:

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90712

Hashire! is one big disappointment IMO, I put all my hope for the single in the song and its so horrible and boring

Not impressed with 'Hashire' at all. It's such a bland song and it reminds of something that would've been in some sort of 90's teen summer film.

3:48 Kyodo News vid of Trick Tour (Watch on Internet Explorer, not Firefox):

http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?mkt=...8-fec3e64f67ec

Songs that are previewed:

Hurry Up!
stay with me
Always
Lick me

Love this TOUR!!... :luv2

Looks like the tags need to be cleaned again.. The jealous kuu haters are back! That ain't kuu.

Thanks for that vid luv.. I need to get on my computer and watch it

Wowww the tour looks soo good thanks for the video's Luver!!! :love

and I love Hashire! The style really suits Kuu's voice, this single really is awesome :yes

And jeez what is it with the silly tags? Jealous much -.-

omg the dance for lick me is so cute! i am starting to fall in love with that song LOL

hurry up looked kind of cheap. shes just floating there. good thing it's not one of my favorites. :dead2 always looks really pretty, the vocals for stay with me are kinda nasally lol

Cleaned! Please try not to post inappropriate tags. It's not anonymous, we can see who posted them. Reminder:

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/announ...php?f=21&a=119

the dance during lick me is so cute! ia that hurry up looks kind of cheap.. and boring. i'll probably skip that performance on the DVD tbh :no

thank you zemus!

after hearing hashire in full i don't think this single is all that bad anymore.. and now i'm even more excited for trick tour :( tooo much waiting

off topic, but, SCANDAL were at the MUSIC JAPAN recording too?! :D

thanks for the radio rip of hashire! :)

i gave hashire a listen in full, i don't like it. i'm disappointed in her vocals in this single too, it's like they're slowly getting worse and worse. :no the only nice song on the single is Ecstasy and it got boring fast :dead2

ia. i didn't really think it would be bad in the first place but hashire is growing on me. i hope wowow or w/e airs this early like they did with the kingdom tour :bshake

me too.. even though they cut out the performance of hands last time :gnash

Lol sorry I just have to ask! Do you approve of anything from Kuu lately? you always seem disappointed with her x.x

hmm that vid works for me on firefox :laugh

i liked the vid, the one where performed hurry up was really cool. And I liked the Always perf too :love Lick me outfit is cute too :D

i hope the encore outfit we get will be cute like that one... i don't want another overalls look.. :tired

Hashire! is awesome! the chorus is totally catchy :luv2

thanks for all luverofluv ♥
I will love the performance of Hurry Up!

:love:love:love:love:love:love

hardly :( it's sad bc i used to be such a huge fan.. i follow her out of habit you know? since she was a big part of my life for years. i'm just disappointed lately. but i know if she releases another TABOO or cool dance song again i'll be all over her~

Aww I see ._. I hope she restores the Kuuism in you again soon!

Her tour seems to be kick-ass by the looks of it I'm so excited :love

I really hope TRICK TOUR will do it.
Kingdom Tour wasn't so good. The tours of kuu I really like are ~first things~, -secret limited live- and Black Cherry FINAL IN TOKYO DOME.
~second session~ was nice+-, Kingdom tour was below average for kuu imo.
So hopefully TRICK will amaze me at least like ~second session~ and if like the others than better. =D

0.0 Can't believe Kuu's thread changes so fast!!!

all of her tours are amazing TBQH. this one looks like it's going to be no different

me either.. i placed my order :love i can't wait to see the booklet and pvs

awww the Lick Me dance was sooo cute!!! i love her outifit :love

+ love the thread title and first post :yatta especially the rihanna part :roflmao

i wanna see her in magazines agaiiinn :luv2

totally agree...

my favorite tour is the "second session", WHOAA kumi here is pretty HOT :luv2
the "black cherry tour" is also of my favorites!!!
but in reality, all her tours are absolutely good...
kumi never ceases to amaze me... and TRICK TOUR will be no exception.. :D

We should get the PV's in a bit. Single's coming out in a month, so maybe we'll get a PV in 2 weeks.

alright, i've heard hashire! i can honestly say it's not so bad. not as good as ninyo hime, lol, but it's okay. seeing as how lick me has grown on me, too, i think i really do love all 3 songs now. it's still not as good as 4 hot wave and never will be, but i like this single SO much more than moon crying and it's all love! (:irked) so i'm satisfied :P i just hope her next single can top 3 SPLASH.

Hashire !'s melody sounds very familiar

kinda reminded me of an Ashlee Simpson song o_O which I don't know if it's a good or bad thing

I was expecting Hashire ! to be another great Ningyo-hime but alas :(

tbh, Kuu's tours are never boring and she just seems like she's always so happy and they really really seem like they're very very fan-friendly, like how she talks to the crowd during performances and everything...

that's probably the only thing that Kuu's tours have that Ayu's don't, the constant attention to the audience.

Don't get me wrong, Ayu's tours are mind-blowing, but sometimes they seem a bit over rehearsed like there's no room to get really personal with fans. Like how Kumi brings up someone to the stage and sings to them, i just think that's something that artists should always do because it looks like they want to be close to the fans.

i probably dont make much sense but i get it :P

I agree :)

I would love that Ayu to do the same thing... but I see it impossible :(

i think this single is def a grower.. lol

i loved ecstasy when i first heard it, i was disappointed with lick me and hashire, now i looove lick me so much and hashire isn't half bad :D it just took time to digest is all LOL

Hashire! isn't too bad actually... kind of like really summerish rock song IMO... I like it! But it just pales in comparison to Lick me <3 and ECSTASY...

But I think this is one of her singles that I actually really love and am looking forward to... 3 SPLASH!

Really amazing single! Kuu made a great job.
My favourite is Lick Me*___*
Hashire is cool too but chorus reminds me another song... Melody sounds very familiar it's a pity!

what song is everyone saying hashire sounds like?
