US Mag
 

IDK if this needs to go into the Games section or Asian music...pls move it where it needs to be


so i was looking through my dresser drawer full of magazines and came across my old Playstation Magazine back from 2003 and i was reading through a specific game... and low and behold Kuu had her own little article

lol the mag is damaged... the cover... and i have a couple pages missing




Who else has seen this ?

lol, rude but true. everytime i hear kumi's english version i think of that video someone made.

"i'm getting this is smells!!!!!"

thank god kumi's english is better now :yes

:laugh imagine if they would have said that about her in a magazine in Japan?

I like Sweetboxes versions...though I don't think either of their voices really go with the character.

I still love that I am not a gnome video lol

how rude :no

tbh though, i prefer sweetbox's version.. i was really used to it by the time i heard kumi's and i still can't get into it lol.

aw.. it's true
but i still prefer the Japanese version :lech

yeah i prefer the Sweetbox version to Kuu's version... even the japanese version... IMO it fits Yuna better than Kuu's vioce too

kumi doesn't do the voice for yuna though, she does it for lenne :shrug

lol true but still lol

I used to have this magazine. The only reason I bought it was for the Eternal Calm dvd that came with it. If I'm not mistaken it had the prelude to FFX-2 & a trailer for the game. But I wouldn't stake my life on it.

Both versions kind of epically fail in my opinion but whatever. X-2 sucked in terms of a storyline as well, so a sucky game needs sucky songs I guess.

yeah i had a dvd with the demo.. Eternal Calm and 7 other demos... that disk is LOOOONG gone lol

ot: and i thought FFX-2 was really good! better than FFX IMO... but my fave is FF7

Lol I like how they mention Kuu to bash her and then bring Jade... like gosh just talk about Jade then! :P

But okay... the Engrish version of real Emotion was LOL and I recommend everyone to watch the video of it with "lyrics" on youtube lol.

have you played the game? the dance sphere yuna (though it's not even yuna... lol) is using in the beginning is just using lenne's talent. the story is confusing, it's kind of like an alternate world kind of twist.

Haha!
That was like one of the only PlayStation magazines I ever bought and it was cos I was going to my country and I needed something to read on the plane
I looked at Kuu and was like whos that?! She's fudging HOT!
HAHAHAHA

if anything yuna is just lip syncing since it isn't her voice that comes out when she uses the songstress dress sphere.

Oh yeah lol

"It's (Dr) Phil! Emo! She'll shake you up! The whirl!"
love it lol

lol truly this should be moved to the games chat section haha!

The article seems really harsh on her. :(

i like kuu alot.. but it is true lol Take back and Trust your love... i cant listen to them... they sound horrible in english... its no wonder y her US career never took off when she released those 2 singles here

speaking of old kuu... does anyone have or can make her old logo??? the one thats on the Affection cover and the love across the ocean cover???

I can't stand the Sweetbox version, even though the English sounds better.

Ok....her english isnt anything splendid lets be honest....but that article title was just downright rude.

Yeah, the article is rude..whatever.

Kuu became huge and Jade from Sweetbox..did not.

Still, Kuu's english definitely improved.

But I can't take her english version of real Emotion seriously cause of that one vid on YouTube.."It's Phil!"

^"That I am not a gnome" ;)

lol that video was funny

lol, so true. even perfect english can't save your career :tired

whoa, I didn't even know Sweetbox did the English version.

yeah they included real emotions and 1000 words on the Japanese pressing of their Adagio album

I don't think the article was rude, just frank. And deny it all you want, 'cause you know that every word of that is not without truth. XD

if Jade from Sweetbox take the music from Kuu~
Ayumi take Sweetbox music xD

and both of ayumi and kuu, still in avex :lol:

No one is denying it. At all.

And the article is being rude though. You would never see a professional journalist write that way about an artist unless they worked for a tabloid...or a gaming magazine it seems.

There are ways to be straightforward without coming off as an ass.

btw I'm surprised Sweetbox isn't more known...what do they do? They release here in the US? and Japan? or what.

Playstation Magazine is practically bought out by American developers anyway, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. They have a history IMO, for being really harsh on foreign developers. If I'm not mistaken, their first impressions of X-2 wasn't very professional. But I don't really remember the article.

I can say that their report on Koda was VERY rude but also kind of true. I mean, her english did suck balls in that song. But Koda did a pretty decent job with the dancing of Yuna. I just would have expected the singing and dancing from Rikku and not Yuna---she was such a good girl in X.

^Really? That's interesting.

I agree that she did suck. I think everyone knows that. We've been joking about it the whole thread.

Oh well, I don't read the magazine anyway. Sad to see that they have to put down other developers. I guess because Japan's on top.

lol, that's a funny kind of article, it's more of an ad for Jade than anything :P I'm glad Kuu's English is better now, but it's still kind of bad in That Ain't Cool - she's really quiet and I can't quite understand parts of it when just listening :(

Oh yes, that video that someone made of her singing the English version! :laugh Unfortunately, her English version is... questionable! :laugh
