Kuu's neck looks short and fat in that picture, I just noticed :laugh

EDIT: Can we all take a moment to discuss how epic the antler outfit in the Show Me Your Holla video is? Like, what the hell its so gorgeous!

the tour book is soooo amazing :luv2

^ thanks for sharing!! :heart

Talking about it, when I watched that PV it felt somewhat familiar, and then I came across an Alexander McQueen post on tumblr and I saw why:

It's not the same colour, but to me it looks like the same design :P

I was kinda upset. I mean I loved the pics but u could clearly tell it was shot on a set with a greenscreen :( but it was a nice book!!!!

YASSSS! That's why I love it. It did look familiar to me, too. Whatever, if Kuu copied it. At least she was smart enough to copy something so pretty~

^ Surely :laugh

I was thinking about the 15th anniv. these days and I though... Are there any songs you guys would like Kuu to re-record next year and maybe even shoot a PV for it, like she did for walk? I have lots of songs I'd love to see being reinterpretated, but I guess I can see TAKE BACK, Cutie Honey and Ai no uta getting new versions. And for the later two it'd be really great cause she's always singing them and maybe a new version would help giving them a new fresh air :laugh

^
I completely agree about Ai no Uta. Yume no Uta too could use a new version.
In general tough, I don't think often about resung version for Kuu, because even then her voice was amazing, lol.
But if we're talking about re-arrangment, then the list of songs I'd like is much, much longer.

I'd like a new version of Cutie Honey!

real Emotion and 1000 Words :D

kuu had a photoshoot and a picture was posted on playroom:

we don't know if it's for a summer release or just a magazine

SHAKE IT ~even hotter version~ please, but yeah... not a chance.

You know, I always wondered how come yume no uta was a hit and she rarely sing it (after Black Cherry tour), unlike ai no uta. I know that ai no uta is her biggest ballad hit but yume no uta was almost the same at its time, it seems as though that the Japanese and kuu herself prefer ai no uta (exclusively). I wonder why?

She has you, yume no uta, unmei and stay with me which were relatively big hits but most of the time it's mainly ai no uta that gets the spotlight.

that pic looks like Lick Me vol. 2

I was gonna say, looks like the return of cutesy Kuu which I know nobody here will be pleased to see but I myself looooooove cutesy Kuu. For me, she makes the best fun-style cutesy songs.

@ayumisrael Probably because Ai no Uta is way more easy to sing than Yume no Uta, we know that Ai no Uta is such a karaoke hit.

I hope for some cute concept, I need some sugar!!

The picture looks 60s-ish to me, I like it!

New maxi-single 4 DECADES with songs themed for the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, PVs produced by Vidal Sasson :innocent

Omg this is such an epic idea. :luv2
Now I want it to be true :P

Really liking U KNOW right now

Exactly. I know not hitting that high note. Ai no Uta? Significantly easier to sing.

Personally I always wanted to hear her sing anata ga shite kureta koto. It's one of my favorite songs from Kingdom, but I don't believe she ever performed it.
