Hey, the old thread still had... 11 posts to go :laugh

haha I know, post there till it reaches the 500 posts :b

Yeah, I bet it's gonna reach those 500 posts in the next few hours. :D

Really really really gorgeous thread.

Its full. :laugh

I wonder, if Kuu's debut had been a few years earlier, would that have upped her sales? Or, perhaps if she had started strong in her career, instead of later on.

What a beautiful thread!

what happens when koda fans think a song sounds like someone else's song?

they bring the love :heart You guys rock.

^ Only Kuu fans would! I can't even imagine Ayu fans being as positive and pleasant.

I know we're on a forum for ayu fans, but honestly, it's annoying going into that Kumi shoutbox and seeing "trolls" who are fans of ayu. Perhaps they are envious of Kuu having more success than ayu?

I've always thought that Kuu's fans are more easily satisfied than Ayu fans. Kuu puts out a ***** poppin' song and fans are happy. She puts out a ballad, people are alright with it, because they know she's a sap and love her for it.

I vaguely remember someone complaining that Kuu fans were too happy in an older Kuu thread. But, I'm pretty sure it was just a hurt Ayu stan.

GUYS
what does kuu say before singing All for you at Premium Night?

Why does ITT? sound like a Namie song?
Because it's electronic and western sounding?
Namie just started to do that with her last album last year.
It's just everything edm.

mmmm it's not a summer without her so glad we're getting this great single

And kuu stans won't stop trolling ayu in last.fm and Tumblr, no fandom is perfect lol :shrug

Loving the new single~

Unfortunately I don't really like any of those 3 songs, which is devastating because Kuu is usually brilliant when it comes to summer singles ! Too bad, hoping for next year !

I see myself (Gaga avatar) yey♥ And I agree. I always feel surprised when this happens lol. That's one of the reasons why I love being a Kuu fan, this fandom is so much more happier compared to Ayu's fandom. Of course, there are happy people in Ayu fandom, but there's so much hate and criticism that it makes the atmosphere so much more depressing. :< These Kuu threads are like their own little place in the middle of all that. Here happiness just overflows every day♥

And those trolls there are so much fun at times. I've gotten into those damn arguments few times too, but I eventually back off because it's stupid. Most of the time I laugh at them though. :D

Touchdown & IS THIS TRAP? are also my favourites of the single, but I honestly love all 3 songs. LAx5 is such an energetic and happy song, it's lovely to listen to! Perfect Summer jam. I really love the mixture of rock, electronic dance, and hip-hip/R'n'B on this single, such a good variety to have together, it makes the single interesting going from one genre to the next.

One of her best Summer singles for me so far, I look forward to hearing the whole single in full quality. <3

Does someone know the name of the font for Summer Trip? I wanna use it so bad :D

I can't help but to agree with this. :yes

In retrospect, the Kumi fanbase is the most pleasant group of fans I've ever come across. Period. I definitely can't say the same about the others but keep in mind I'm basing this off my own personal experience obviously. When Kuu is criticized or praised, everyone (for the most part) is kind and respectful regardless. The other fandoms are overly hypocritical and delusional for my taste (I'm aware that the Kuu fandom is no exception to this but I've always found the atmosphere to be the most bearable).

*hugs all around* :grouphug
