I really love how the Kuu threads are always so organized. :heart

thanks for the new thread ero-kakkoii =3
and LoL @ everyone fighting for Gubsi's love xD :love |

Great first post ero-kakkoii! I know you've been in the Kuu thread for a while but for some reason I feel like you're new! Did you have another name here prior to the one you have now? |
the first post is mostly thanks to those who posted it before me.

i left for a long time when i was using peanut and came back with a name change. |

Okay I feel better now. :) |
It's true, ero-kakkoii is my first love here!
BUT guys... I still love you all! :blove argh the postman should come i want my extreme big Kuu order!! :bawl OMG did anyone ever seen this old live performance of real Emotion & Your Song from her!? xD http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/YMZuEYjaoUs/ Oh this made me bring the love for real Emotion back... (added to my playlist) |
Stay is like, still amazing and stuff like that. Work It Out! is still kinda boring :( UNIVERSE isn't so bad. Totes buying the 2CD version in the future.
|
Btw, what happened to UNIVERSE's Believe from the playroom fanclub's tracklist? x_X
|
^It was fake. :P
|
lol @ Believe...
anyway, at this point of time, I think I'm addicted to UNIVERSE (the album)... omg even Stay & Comes Up... which used to be my least favorite songs are growing on me! |
You know, I'm thinking of giving UNIVERSE another chance! I thank BoA for this, if I hadn't heard her album, I would have realized how much better UNIVERSE is! :roflmao
Sorry boa... If I like it enough, I'll make it my FIRST J-POP PURCHASE WHEN I GO TO JAPAN!!!! :D :D :D |
Yeah UNIVERSE is pretty Good i love The songs And STEP INTO MY WORLD Which Used to Be my Least Favorite Song it's growing on me i love this album now like A HELL 100000x better than TRICK
|
^ oh oh lol... I forgot to say that I kind of.. dislike Step Into My World now LOL.
|
^ Yeah it's kind of one of her worst openings... if not the worst =/ Then again my favorite album of hers is KINGDOM and I skip that opening too xD;
|
thanks for the new thread! UNIVERSE is growing on me, I have to listen everyday

Believe is one of my favorite songs from Secret, its a shame it doesnt get much attention :( |
:yes totally. It's one of the best songs on secret. Has she sang it live before?
|
Quote:
I love the lyrics a lot. Quote:
|
So, can someone rip the special video from that site posted in the last thread? I accidentally threw my serial number away :(
|
Believe sounds A LOT like Gackt's Tsuki no Uta and No ni saku hana no yo ni. :) But that's just me! :laugh
|
Quote:
@milky I don't know how to rip it :( Someone else will, I'm sure http://i47.tinypic.com/11hb52q.png this is from the special site.. i ss'ed it. if someone can teach me how to web rip, i'll rip it and upload it for you guys :D |
So guys, I'm flying to London in 9 hours to see Hikki, so we see us not before beginning next week!
So someone should rip the Making Of when i'm come back!! See ya! http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/i...si/LOADING.jpg and yes this is my wall at the moment! Bye Bye |

Okay, so, I like UNIVERSE. It's not as good to me as TRICK was, but it's still a really good album! I just don't understand why she completely ripped herself off when it came to the opening "Step In To My World." I keep wanting to sing it like TRICK, but yeah...
Thanks for the making-of videos! |

Singaporean fans. Best~third universe~ & 8th AL "UNIVERSE" OS version is out in HMV.
|
Quote:
|
I bought at HMV @ 313 shopping mall. $30.95.
It came with M18 sticker =x |
^ Oh man...M18 rating again? :( Does it come with the poster?
|
Quote:
Quote:
omg M18 sticker , what the hell sia D: is it made in Singapore or Warner S'pore imported the stock from HK ? still waiting for my Taiwan press copy to come T_T I think I will not get it til next Tue cos of Chinese New Year & all ;___; |
I think it should be HK stock. Definitely not Taiwan.
Haha it doesn't come with poster. yeah. I spotted a mistake in the DVD. I want to clarify with you guys. SUPERSTAR PV sounds rather soft in the DVD. |
well I guess the best to check whether is it made in HK or S'pore is whether at the back of the album , is there a sign that put 'manfactured , marketed & distributed by warner S'pore' ?
if not the serial no. is a dead giveaway , it should start with AAJ if it's Taiwan press , then you will see AVJ & the OBI will be blue & white in the centre Warner never imports stock of her albums from Taiwan leh . Except for her singles which're made in Taiwan , her concert DVDs & albums have been imported from HK to be sold here since I think TRICK onwards , album wise |

^ Not to be a party pooper, but.... Well, this was a veerrrrryyy slow week in the world of music, as you can see from the sales and some of the names, lol. I wouldn't call this an achievement or anything..... But whatever. It's still cool to see her at the top of the list, nonetheless. ^^'
|
Quote:
number 1 on the global track chart is a BIG thing :yes |
lol it's still cool.
Japanese are usually can top lists in terms of profit...albums in Japan are so expensive. |
Quote:
that's why i only support kuu and a few other japanese artists, paying 30 bucks for a cd isn't cool. :no |
Quote:
And hooray for Kuu getting #1 on world charts! |
^ ya that's before avex HK stepped in to make HK presses of her albums from Black Cherry onwards
I forgot to add that in last night sorry |
^ avex HK started producing Kuu albums since BEST ~second session~. Which is pretty weird because Warner SG imported Taiwan's BEST ~second session~ CD+DVD while the HK press of the CD+2DVD version of the album was imported here by Warner SG.
We never know what they're up to huh? XD |
-_-'''
ok I think my brain doesn't start working til much later on xD but yeah the way Warner markets Kumi here is just so o.o they used to produce/make SG presses of Black Cherry , Kingdom & BEST ~BOUNCE & LOVERS~ & then from TRICK onwards , they stopped I wonder why , her fanbase here's quite sizeable , it's not like she's unpopular that sorta thing I'm still baffled that BEST ~third universe~ & 8th AL "UNIVERSE" is rated M18 here :irked the censorship board doesn't like her at all & funny enough , her concert DVDs are rated PG erm ? |
I'm not trying to be a hater because I really like Kuu, but I don't really get the big deal with her getting number one instead of Kaela. I mean, when you think about it, Kuu's SHOULD'VE sold more since it was two albums in one (although the limited version of Kaela's album contained a 2nd disc).
Sorry but it's hardly a victory. I <3 Kaela but she's a second rate artist and Kuu should've blown her out of the water, but she hardly surpassed her. |
Quote:
|
I personally thought Kaela had a right to get the number 1 since she has never even had a best album, and for people who didn't know her, it would have given them a chance to buy a really packed album and check her out, if they had heard of her since she is gaining more fans.
I don't really think it's a sign of kuu like going down in popularity over the last year, but a mark of kaela's rising. She now has numbers that can compete with other female solos. Kuu's numbers seem to be declining at the same rate and staying in a relative area to me. It's kinda just like Ayu's number one. Doesn't really mean anything, but serves for prestige. |
that's very well put emiko. :yes
the way i look at it though is kaela's best is just old material with a few new songs. kuu has an entirely new album added with hers and it feels like a lot more work went into it releasewise, rather than just compiling a cd of already recorded songs. |
Quality>Quantity.
....sadly sales didn't really reflect that. It's kinda sad the UNIVERSE got tacked onto the third best like some kind of side bonus...just to help the best sell better...with better production...it could've been a standout album of its own. |
Quote:
the album is like hidden inside this best of which sucks... she's done great with her albums since black cherry! i loved kingdom and trick. oh well, shes not gonna have another best of in a few more years so lets hope she's gonna keep on releasing great stuff! cause universe still pretty cool! i mean come on, kuu is in a totally different level as an artist right now, she stepped it up and you can tell with this new album, that didn't need to have a thousand new pvs but still caught everybody's attention :) and im loving most of the new tracks |

Step Into My World actually grew on me.
Am I alone in this? ..Probably. :laugh |
^ I've always loved both INTRODUCTION TO TRICK and Step Into My World. :love (Obviously both, since they're the same song. :laugh)
|
yeah, I actually...like the little nuances in the melody of step into my world better :paperbag
|
i always liked step into my world :P
|
Step Into My World is the shizz
its Work It Out! that I can't stand... okay now i know i'll get crucified. xDD |
i havent been able to get into work it out...:(
it's just kinda boring to me...which...is interesting...i'll probably like it more later. It's just the type of song it is. electro rock or whatever serious rock melody that...meh im not really into those atm. woah I just discovered that I really really love the bridge in UNIVERSE...I wish it was longer :( |
I never really like Work It Out too
Kumi sounded very ... lazy in there somehow or another D: |
Quote:
and I love Work It Out! wtf (even if the preview was one of my least favorites xD) verses kinda reminds me of Run For Your Life's :lech the electro sounds on it are just *O* and chorus is pretty catchy imo. Comes Up and Alive are the only songs that I skip sometimes :dead2 I even like It's all Love! when I hear it after UNIVERSE. haha btw, emiko: your avi is pure love :heart |
Step into my world is beginning to finally grow on me
|
:laugh |
WTF is it with nobody liking Work It Out!? Lol.
I think it's so catchy and just a great song in general. Something I wasn't expecting. Not "almost good" but "pretty damn good". I like everything about it. |
work it out is such a fun song to listen to!!!
i just love the sassy part when she says "work it out"! xd one of my fav songs in universe :yes |
