Your body drinks in
The juice I squeezed out, squeezing so tight
Go further
Deeper inside of me
Take it to the limit
And make sure you make it real hot
Why don’t we go wild
On this hot, hot night?

Alive and Physical Thing (not in full) on imeem :

Alive
Physical Thing

Yay for new thread! It looks so much nicer! And the lame poll is gone

Alive is beautiful... i need to see this performed with a live band!

i already heard Physical thing before but the beginning was cut off.

i'm so excited for this single. you see me, i see you, it's easy, keep it real simple~

Kumi's comment added on a-nation website :heart:

http://a-nation.net/artist/

watch here: http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/a-na...umi_090710.asx

i was right about nosheen's physical thing :)

i like both songs a lot! this is a good single

Gahh I hate the 4 hot wave cover ( :P ). The sky in the back is ugly, the camels look weird, and she looks like a sexy Aladdin with an estrogen problem.

Physical thing ---------------> :luv2 :heart

physical thing sounds so good! alive is really pretty but i don't think i'd listen to it very often.

btw the image above the juicy lyrics doesn't work and one of the headlines is pink instead of red :yes

Alive is pretty, but it doesn't really have a climax. Physical Thing sounds good though. Overall, this is a step up from 3 SPLASH :D

OMG i love both songs! :love
Alive is so beautiful especially the part after the chorus!
And Physical thing is absolutely gorgeous!
It's getting greater with every repeat! :D

Physical thing sounds hot. Better than ECSTASY IMO. I'm going to listen to Alive now.

Alive sounds nice though it's not my type of ballad. It might grow on me more later.

Physical thing sounds good, nothing like BUT or TABOO (no stonker for kuu this year? T_T) but it I really like it!

i don't like the music in physical thing.. i hope it's just the quality being bad.. and in one part it sounds like she's drowning. physical thing just isn't catchy to me. Alive sounds really pretty! i like the music

I don't like Alive, this type of song is not for Kumi.
Physical Thing sounds so good, I really love it! Remind me Bounce on Anytime single *_*

Both great! I like Physical Thing but nosheen's version was better IMO...maybe cause the Kumi version isn't in full yet and it isnt the best quality....I really love Alive though....

:3 loove this :)

physical thing............:cool i seriously love it! the beat is great. hopefully kuu dances alot in the PV.

off to hear alive now...
edit: the instrumental is very pretty, but it's just too slow of a ballad for me. maybe it'll be better in full. but i think i prefer physical thing much more.

Ahh, yay!!!

I can't wait to hear them!

See, people? Covers get people giddy for everything else. :laugh

..Oh, will anyone rip them? I want it in my iPod...

"Physical thing" sounds great so far. the song better be hot in HQ! :)

but "Alive" doesn't seem like my cup of tea from the preview. but i've never been a fan of Kuu ballads anyway (except for "Promise" & "you").

Alive instrumental is soooooo pretty!!

OMG!! Physical Thing is pure ♥!!!
i hope for a sexy dance-choreo!!

oh, kuu...
http://i31.tinypic.com/34pnhxj.jpg
i can sleep english too, can you?

after giving the songs more listens, i hope alive has some sort of dramatic break down near the end of the song. a "climax" i guess

physical thing is really catchy, i already have it stuck in my head. +++ points for kumi for being able to say physical thing without butchering it

the full song didn't even leak yet, and i'm playing physical thing like crazy :tipsy

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...31#post2056531
radio rips by kumibrasil!

They both seem really short though, I wonder if they are the full thing ?
Alive sounds beautiful :heart
I really love Physical thing!

LMFAO

Alive is so 'dead'. Ashita e.. is even better
Physical Thing is quite ok

3 SPLASH still pwns!!!

omg :roflmao

yay for new thread btw <3 , I'm going to download Alive / Physical thing :yes

I think I'll wait until the PVs come out to listen in ( :yes ). It seems more exciting ^^

EDIT: I just saw the magazine scans of Kumi with Lady Gaga, it was so funny seeing them together! They seemed to get along very well.

Gaga said her favorite Kumi PV was TABOO, go figure.

So far The Physical thing sounds awesome! Alive, eh, I'll need to listen to it in HQ.

So Physical thing is indeed a cover

It sounds good though <3 Kuu-chan, you need to keep making songs like this, I'm glad this ballad single has this song too to sorta ballance it, no more singles with only ballads Kuu-chan, please, you've been good for a year now, remember it for the net single~

Physical thing's preview - HOT :luv2 . It sounds like nothing like what she has done before which's great

Alive - what a beautiful & touching ballad <3

You guys said that Physical thing's a cover of sorts ? who was the original singer if that's the case ? :shrug

i hope kumi doesn't make a similar mv.. :dead2

^Yeah Nosheen's MV sucks. But I kinda like her version better atm. I think Kumi's will sound better to me in full and better quality

why

the flames are a really nice touch and they look so realistic

@ brand new love - thanks for your help

top 50 albums

*8 *,389,321 ***,545 TRICK / 倖田來未 09/01/28

Glad TRICK is still selling!

I LOVE her hair @ Oh! My Radio... omg gorgeous!

And wow ALIVE is BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE the instrumentation SO MUCH... all the piccolos, harps, pianos... :heart

Physical thing is hot y'all... another great single from Kuu!

hm. it's rather unfortunate that i was so excited by the covers..but the songs on the single aren't that great for me :-\ i don't like physical thing at all actually...

i'll probably end up liking alive though. i like kuu's ballads, actually. haha

I think Alive sounds really, really beautiful. A little bit boring, though. Well, I think it grows on me when I listen to it more, Kuu's voice sounds really good in it.

And about Physical thing... I don't really know what to say. I think it sounds OK, reminds me of ECSTACY. I guess it's like ECSTASY, which I didn't like at all at first. And now I really like it. :P

Edit: I've listened Alive and Physical thing more and I was pretty right, I'm starting to like them. Especially Alive has grown on me and Physical thing sounds really good now. I think I'm going to like this single a lot!

Physical Thing isn't a cover, it's more like the record company of Nosheen sold the song to Avex and Kumi. Just like Mirotic from DBSK and Sarah Connor or like Bold&Delicious from Ayu and Sweetbox.

That's if Physical thing's real creators will be credited.
ayu's B&D's credits had GEO of sweetbox as the composer.

kuu has yume no uta/futari de... for example not crediting oku hanako's yasashii hana composer but another composer (as if he composed it).
If there are credits then it's all fine.

hehe, I just listened to Radio rips, and I'm so much, ahem, satisfied! LOLOLO

very cool single. I think it's also rather strong. I like Alive & way Kuu sings in it :)
smeeexy, it's really so temptative, lol

I love the covers, love the songs, love the songs!

I haven't really heard the original of Physical thing, so many that's why I love it

:luv2

I wanna some smexy dancey PV

as for Alive song, many ppl may think it's rather boring & blank, but I love the way she sings, somewhat epic feeling. I also love it that it's not similar to Ai no Uta which I personally hate

ohhhh, can't wait for both PVs, awesomeeeee :luv2

Alive is sooooooooo boring but its interesting for Physical thing..

Alive is beautiful but short! :weep I'll have to give Physical thing a full listen! XD

the single will be released next month, right?
God.. can't wait for the PVs!!
i need those gorgeous covers in HQ immediately!!

oh, and in 3 days, we'll get TRICK TOUR on WOWOW!! :luv2
hope someone records it!

I didn't bother listening to the radio rips. I'll wait for HQ rips in the future XD

WHAT?! whats that abt Yume! omg..

anyway..Alive sounds beautiful after the second listen..i love the melody when it raises upwards..

Disappointed that Physical Thing is a cover lol.. :P (maybe im the only one)
i'll blame it on the quality...because im not feeling the song yet...Its like...TABOO > ECSTASY and probably > Physical Thing...the melody isnt very uplifting or so

I'm really fed up with Kuu's ballads... Alive is so boring, OMG :no
Physical thing is quite nice though, but not as catchy as TABOO, BUT or even ECSTASY... Hopefully I'll like it better in full and in HQ :)

You're so freaking cute~~~! I'm so glad you did it.

^ Be prepared for comments that will embarrass your pants off from people who frequent this thread, like:

I WOULD HAVE LIKED IT BETTER WITH BLUE TAPE!! MUAHAA

MMMMMMMM DERICIOUS...

WILL YOU HAVE MUH BABIEZ?

^ I think that'll be the general reaction.

Yeah, I was kidding about the blue tape ^^; I just meant like 'perverts' would love to have seen you just in blue tape. In a joking way. lol

( :o ) Do TABOO next.

Yeah, you're right with Yume no Uta, but this was a big mistake and I'm sure Avex won't do that again and Physical Thing is officially bought.

Does anyone have the link to the song that Kuu's composer "Stole" for Yume no Uta? I wanna hear.

Koda was ranked #7 at Oricon for "Most Beautifuly Tanned Person" (roughly translated).

http://www.oricon.co.jp/entertainmen...090812_01.html

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

Jackie, u r excellent!!!!!!!!!

U were moving good there.

I can't even do that 3 hand thing u no that "make me hot" bit

wow, jackie! i think i will make my own version when i get my koda kumi a-nation shirt, i know the dance too for the first chorus... i'll have to learn the second chorus and the dance break one!

Physical thing reminds me a lot of This is not a love song for some reason <3 That's okay though because I love This is not a love song <3

JACKIE I LOVED IT! awesome job :) (I also loved your dress btw)

can't wait to see yours cutie!

Physical Things sounds soooooooooooooo awesome.

JACKIE YOU ARE AWESOME!

Wow, the dance was great! Serious! So cool... ahhhh omg

:clapclap whoa!! good job jackey

WOW!! GREAT JOB JACKIE!! :D

Here's the whole list.. ^^

Jackie that was awesome!

I think Koda looks best tanned, I'm surprised she got 7th place.

jackie that was great! =]

wow i am proud of you jackie! you're so brave :yes

peanut it's your turn prz

Peanut's going to do the ECSTASY dance?! That'd be fun. I've never seen a pic of him before. What do you look like P?

...what's the candy dance? I'm assuming its in the PV for a song called Candy by Koda? Hehe, it'll be funny watching a guy do a Koda Kumi dance (not that that's a bad thing).

^Yup! :D There's two versions of that PV! The full story version and the dance only version. ^^;

i'm just joking, peanut probably won't dance, he is more of a singer.. but he isn't very good at that either!!

i hope there is a DVD or smth of her overseas shows!

i don't think this was posted here. nothing new, just an advertisement for kumi's upcoming OS shows. they used scenes from dirty ballroom :laugh

http://i32.tinypic.com/afbk7n.jpg

Oh guys i'm still listen to Alive/ Physical thing on repeat!
I cannot get enough of them! :luv2
I wish they were longer!

OMG! The bad thing about is that you're know in the theme of a-nation '03 Initiate!
:dead2

So guys Kuu wants to teach you again!!

LESSON #16:


LESSON #17:


LESSON #18:

Where is this from?

great lessons as always, gubsi!

my favorite kuu performance ever :love

^My favorite too :luv2 Did she do that for every single show or was it only for the special final? @_@ Imagine starting off every single performance in the tour underwater...

the whole show was the same with a couple of changes to the setlist (such as tohoshinki's appearance) and outfits, the encore which originally only had like... 3 songs, turned into like 20. she started every concert of that tour in the tank. i remember reading somewhere that she injured her eye with her nail during this tour, i don't remember if it was in the tank though.

speaking of tours, TRICK tour is being aired this saturday :heart i'm so excited.

^She must be freakin strong...climbing out of that tank all the time @_@ And how the heck can she maintain her balance on that thin strip while dancing on the tank :shrug

yeah she's pretty strong... check out this performance of ningyohime from the second session tour.

i actually found this site a little while ago, it has all of her major concerts.
