So So So sexy
Dance every night like a honeybee
Get stung for the last time
Yes, yes, yes
I'll teach you about the real taste
Of sweet scented honey
ECSTASY

Omg, I just found out today that she says "laid back" instead of "remix" in ECSTASY. They sound nothing alike! @.@

yes.

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2030156

i am doing a new kuu project.. trying to get all the translations of her songs into one place! please contribute my lovely friends :love

Yay for new thread.:rolleyes
lol I thought I was the only one. hehe
I found out only after ECSTASY performance with lyrics. I didn't know there were so many English words. And I think it sounds like remix 'cause she sing it Reebax

new thread! yay :D

um wow this title is EXTREMELY inappropriate...please remember this is a G rated community and your title might be changed again :yes

^ LOL

(I hope you're joking... if not.... X_X I fail)

juicy~ I have quite a few Kuu translations I done, tell me whenever you need em or if there's any songs you want translated. I'm not an expert but they're 98% accurate most of the time lol

oh and yay for new thread! thanks for making it :D

yay for new thread :heart & that's the same exact pic that the local chinese U Weekly used of her in their latest issue :dead2

I love that picture lol she looks really happy & gorgeous :heart

Awesome, a new thread.

The last one went a little slow, I think. :laugh

I love the pic in the OP! What's that quote from?

It's from her Wikipedia page. It's a translation of a quote she said in an interview with Oricon.

It's on her Wiki page! :laugh

Ok, you guys I need your help.

I'm torn between buying the Second Session tour DVD or one of her older albums. Which one should I get?

^ What older albums are you considering? Any of them or a couple particulars?

^
^
Personally I guess I'll buy one of her older albums LOL

^ I would too. milky, if you don't already have it, I highly recommend "grow into one." :heart

^lol don't ask me 'cause I have all and love 'em all. XD So I will recommend them all :P
And I see nothing "naughty or nasty" in new thread name...

:laugh So true. I always thought she said "remix" too.

If you have do not have her songs, then perhaps buying an older album would be better.

However, if you've bought/have/downloaded a handful then maybe buying the DVD is more appealing cos seeing a singer live is extraordinary! :yes

^ oh yees! totally agree with waterballoon :yes

people mentioned that her older albums such as grow into one is probably her best album that she has put out to date

I can't comment for that since I listen from Black Cherry onwards

so what I do's to get her 1st 2 best compilations albums :yes

I just keep hearing "ex-gay" in TABOO.

Kuu @ AP Bank Fes '09 :

thanks to Negi @ JPM


looks SO HOT! :luv2
...and didn't sang Ecstasy ¬_¬\

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

Hashire! performance @ Music Japan :

watch here

:luv2

I've already got all her songs downloaded and I own her two compilations and the ones from Black Cherry forward.

Wow that picture of Kuu is great! :luv2 She looks awesome and I love her hairstyle.
She should've sung Ecstasy :yes What songs did she sing? (I hope TABOO and BUT :meditate)

^ I think Luver posted in the other thread she sang FREAKY, Hashire! & Ai no Uta

She looks gorgeous!!

Milkyway, I think you should get the dvd! second session tour was awesome & seeing it in DVD quality is :thud

how much did she sell this week ?????????

I've read it and it's not the first time. It's such a childish behaviour.
You can dislike an artist, but doing such a thing? It's unneccessary. And disrespectful.

Just ignore it, it's not worth the trouble. :)

tomorrow we will know it. ^^


Talk + Hashire! @ HEY! HEY! HEY! in better quality :

via stream -> http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/4p_U_HYGFQk/

I hope get it for downloading ><

i want to get the BEST ~second session~ tour DVD but i can't find the first press anywhere besides YAJ and i don't know how to use the middleman service.. it's got the performance of Cherry Girl at Rhythm Nation and some other stuff, too.

I was reading the lyrics of ECSTASY at Goo (Japanese lyrics website); they're very... hot lol! I especially like 'amaku kaoru bara no toge no itami wo oshiete ageru' (roughly "I'll show you the pain of a sweet smelling rose's thorn".)

What else has HUM written?

i really like the lyrics of ECSTASY too! she also sings about showing you the scent of sweet honey or something huhu dirty song, but it's not just sex because she says "ai wo kataro" which means i think let's talk about love, so it's sex & love!

so pretty, i can't wait to see this

@ juicy: your avatar is so cute. Where did you get it from?

Yeah, and when she says "let's go de de de deep" she's talking about her heart so ( :yes ). I don't think she's talking about sex.

I don't know if you're talking to me but definitely right now ECSTASY is at the top. The PV is really sexy too.

ECSTASY is at the top of my list right now... i love the lyrics and the music. the guitar makes it edgier for a dance song... it's like electro-rock kind of. TABOO is still as amazing as it was when it came out, but i find that when i went back and listened to kuu's first four albums, there's so many good songs i overlooked.

feel my mind is her only album that i can listen to without wanting to skip a single track, i love every song on it.

my favorite song at the moment is candy.. i used to be obsessed with this forever ago and i really like it again. the beat is so hot

about the ecstasy lyrics, she didn't write them did she? i thought i read that in the 3 SPLASH booklet

:cool

she didn't write them, but if she can get similar results with having someone else write the lyrics for her, i'm happy. :)

juicy no no i'm not easy no no i'm not about money

this was posted in the old thread:

ViVi magazine scans (September 2009)

ECSTASY actually :9
this song is totally catchy, I can't stop listening it one day xD seriously, this song is ALL for me
I don't need to see the PV, the song is enough :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

I want to hear more stuff by this HUM. Has this person written more stuff for Kumi? Or for anyone else for that matter?

me too.. We are not alone!

Hashire! @ Music Japan :

DOWNLOAD HERE

:luv2

Juicy, that lyrics archive = absolute win. :luv2 I thank you for it on behalf of all Kuu fans :laugh

ECSTASY's my least fave 3 SPLASH song. It's awesome and I listen to it often, but it took the longest to grow on me. :innocent

39 Edu!
the ap bank pic is hawt!!
Hashire! performance is awesome..
i hope it boosts the sales!!

She looks beautiful. :)

Total sales for "3 SPLASH"

62,576 + 12,138 = 74,714

The single is at #10 on this weeks chart and the single out sold "stay with me"

Then you should buy the DVD :P! You have Kingdom & TRICK right? The bonus DVD with the albums are so awesome I bet her tours would be better!

And thanks everyone for the video links! ECSTASY is a really hot song, and I like HUM writes it in a sexy way yet the song doesn't necessarily talk about sex!

thanks!
i really hope that it can break 100k

me too :hi5 , I kept on playing the PV on repeat mode when I initally found out about her music

thanks Mishelle

good that 3 SPLASH has outsold stay with me but I'm a bit bummed that it might not crack 100K in the long run :(

thanks :luv2

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what's the thing Kumi eats at the beginning of the JUICY PV? It looks like an orange ball too me....some kinda of fruit. Doesnt seem to be an orange cause she wouldnt eat through the peel would she? And it cant be an apple because it looks like its soft and she bit through it easily @_@. Any ideas on what it is? @_@

^It's a mango or an orange! XDD

It's a peach/nectarine/something like that... apricot?

^But if it was any of those it would have a hard pit in the center wouldnt it? And one of Kumi's dancers tosses a knife straight through it @_@.

I thought it was an apple o.o it looks like one

edit: ahh I just looked again, if you pause it on 00:46 it's mango-shaped!

i tot it was a tomato

I saw the PV of Lick me earlier on that was aired on MTV Asia :luv2

I hope I can see the PVs of Hashire ! & ECSTASY soon :heart

Thank you, I love this performance! It's making me love Hashire! even more. :heart

And I think the sales are still pretty good! I really hope it can break 100k, but I don't believe in it... But we will never know.

My friend saw the PV of Lick me playing at a Bubbletea Cafe in downtown Montreal :laugh She was really proud that she recognized it 'cause I showed it to her like two days before.

New double a-side single Alive / Physical thing is going to be released on Sept. 16... :)

CDJapan CD Only Link:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCD-46369

Bonus: Trick Tour live video recording... ;)

It's a double A-side, Physical thing have a PV :luv2

Yay!!! Thank you ^__^.

It's going to be a double a-side single though =D

Alive/Physical thing or Physical thing/Alive

And both a-sides will have PVs of course.

I really hope Physical thing will be the new BUT and TABOO of the year!!

Wow, I'm really excited about this! I wonder what kind of the covers will be... And the b-side's name is Physical thing? That sounds interesting...

Edit: Oh, it's double a-side single! That sounds even better. :heart

thanks for the update

LOL at Physical thing xD & nice to know that it's a double a-side single , cool

Didn't ECSTASY already cover that? :lech. But before we all start chanting for a sexy song, please remember just how successful our Lick me predictions were. For all we know, Physical thing could be about hugging puppies and kittens :laugh.

And whaaat? the TRICK Tour vid is going to be released on the single? Or just a bonus performance?

LOL I hope Psysical thing is not a Lick me mistake. xD
It's described as a dance song though. ^_^

And ECSTASY is not even remotely close to BUT's and TABOO's level. :laugh

Oh, thank you! :D

:yatta Thank you so much. I really like her clothes, so cheerful and summer-ish. *downloads*

Ooooh nice, I hope it will be an upbeat song.
Eeeeh, the bonus, is that something like they show short pieces of the TRICK tour performances? :confused

Normally it's just a bonus video, maybe the documentary about the tour? Or the Black Eyed Peas performance?
Something like that, they never will put a whole tour on a single.

Luver, where did you get the information?
The tracklist is neither at the offical site nor CDJapan. :shakehead

I'm excited about it, Alive isn't a normal ballad and I do hope Physical Thing is a sexy upbeat song.
And yeah to double A-side with 2 PVs!

I got the info from Neowing... ;)

Pre-order @ YesAsia... ;)

Woooo thanks Luver!

I can't wait for this single, Alive sounds really good & Physical thing sounds promising (hopefully NOT another lick me though XD)

I really hope this can be another BUT/Aishou :luv2

guess this means an 8th album from Koda's possible to be released sooner than expected ? :shrug

so she is going to release a new single in september ? damn she's releasing fast...
i'm hoping for good covers. 3 splash covers weren't so nice ... :i

yeah , it's already confirmed that she will be releasing a new single in 16th Sept

I'm lucky in a way that I stopped buying her singles because man at the rate that she's releasing , I will be broke in no time @_@ but I definitely will get her 8th album :yes

is confirmed that Physical thing is a dance song :yes

i can't wait.. :luv2
TRICK tour live PV sounds too promising like DVD Bonus Video :heart

wow Physical thing will be a dance song ?

that will be great & it's a perfect contrast to ALIVE since from the preview , ALIVE will probably be a really epic ballad :luv2

yesasia called it a powerful edgy dance number :heart I can't wait!!

LOL the day of the release of "Alive" single is just 14 days before my birthday haha. Hope we can get a preview of these 2 songs soon :)
Anyway, thanks for the info.

:heart

ALIVE/Physical thing... I love the title. :heart

Physical is going to be a dance song? that's great
I can't wait for the release ^^

wow! Physical Thing!! sounds nasty.. :lech
we have 5 songs so far (It's all Love, Faraway, Lick me, ECSTASY and Hashire!) and 2 more upcoming songs (Alive & Physical Thing)
whether she's gonna release an album at the end of the year, or she's gonna release a winter single (1 ballad song with crying PV) in dec
so we're probably gonna get only 4-5 new songs in the new album

Coool!! it better be good :P

i am excited for alive, i've been wanting a new ballad lately.

and also physical thing sounds promising. sounds like it'll be like taboo

i hope for some really beautiful covers! BUT was the leading A-side on that single, and the covers more resembled Aisho... since Alive is the song with the prominent tie-in, i hope the covers reflect it... maybe something like the MOON covers. those covers were amazing. the best thing about her ballad covers is that she's not bearing teeth while trying to do her "sexy" face.

or maybe it can be like Cherry Girl/Unmei, where both songs get their own cover... one on the front, one on the back.

judging from how fast her songs are...im sure the radio rip is gonna be out soon lol.. (i hope)

August is almost here, so less than two months until its release... hopefully they don't keep the PVs hidden like they did with 3 SPLASH since that proved to be an ineffective marketing strategy.

is there a trailer out for Kamui Gaiden with Alive in it? i want to hear more of it than the 30secs.

..The name of the other song is Physical thing?

Interesting name...

Yay for another dance song <3
