cool thanks


her vocals are in pretty good shape, do you guys think so?

I don't really listen to her old stuff...so I don't remember that so much...I have seen some lives from...back then...

anyway...I think they're pretty good...at least in comparison to some other people's...


and OT again: my boyfriend thinks Dirty Ballroom sounds like a porn title

[Beauty4123]

hasn't that best album been speculated, since like, 2007?

[jbrat2219]

Another best album? x_x;;;;

Is it even her anniversary yet?

Yupe! her vocals are getting better!
and yeah, too bad the dirty ballroom is less dirty than i thought it would be , but again i really love the performance, especially shake it up, TABOO and Take Back

[minna]

oh nooo...not a best again?
honestly...why? XD

I think it could definitly be pushed away for another year and that she should concentrate on her new releases

the worst thing though is that even if I don't want her to release it now, I will buy it 'cause I don't have all her albums...lol

[rookies]

Another best album... o_O...

[jbrat2219]

It seems like Avex is trying to salvage her popularity with another best before she becomes irrelevant! I mean after all, her previous best albums have charted so well ;_;... But this is highly unnecessary and they really need to wait until her 10th >_<; Because I swear if they come out with a Kuu version of A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ after releasing this, I'm going to go to Japan and ring Avex's neck xD;!!!!

And what is with this constant release flow? Yeah it's nice, but we JUST got TRICK and her 3A-side single hasn't even been released yet and now they announce another best album? Are they really trying to milk us for all we're worth! If you ask me, THIS TACTIC is what is going to cause her sales to go down! No one can keep up O_O;;;;

Besides, if TRICK is as horrible as some people claim (I still haven't heard it yet xD;...) then Kuu needs to take time off to make better music again! Not release a million releases in hopes no one will forget about her!

*frustration*

I love Kuu to death, but I'm getting a bit annoyed already! I know it's probably not her fault.... but I feel Avex is accomplishing the opposite of what they're setting out to do, with me at least.

[minna]

it's like if they didn't want us to forget her
and they also want cash...we all know that. avex LOVES cash and ways to get cash...

but they have to understand that we won't forget her and that by releasing so much it will kinda do the opposite, people in japan may become tired of seeing so many releases
it's better taking your time to release something than shooting singles and albums one after another

I'm getting the feeling that all they do is pushing her to release and release and release

[Max_ZZZ]

it seems like

she going to be one of those artists now who got #1 (kingdom)

and now in terms of sales she'll start flopping and going downhill and become a fallen singer...
you know what i mean?
it feels like shes done now

[NintendoHTF1242]

I guess making that comment about women's fawionirshgon caused some sales to drop I see.

[ll moments ll]

wait..what? a possible best album? o_o;;

i'm not too excited over another best. i think it's overkill, but whatever.

[jbrat2219]

^ It totally is overkill... I hope it's fake somehow... Or postponed at least.

It better NOT be something like Ayumi's A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~.

It better be a BEST album starting with "Koi no Tsubomi", and so forth. I don't want all her A-side songs from her first and second BEST album on the Third one also. -___-

Totally agree! Or if she already has a compilation with ballads (Bounce&Lovers), the new one should be a compilation of her fast/dance tracks (like Get Up&Move!!, Hurry Up!, JUICY etc and of course a full version of INTRODUCTION FOR TRICK!!! ).

TRICK is amazing!!! It's her best studio album in years! But Driving is the only song I always skip (it sounds too messy -__-).

[do it again]

i hope it's the collaboration & remix one, but a traditional BEST would be nice too.
she has a ton of collabs that i don't have in my itunes because it'd look messy lol

and also she has a lot of remixes and some of them are pretty good. it should also feature differently arranged tracks like she's done at her concerts, ie ima sugu hoshii at best ~ss tour~ and cutie honey jazz version at black cherry tour.

[Meat Pao]

I just received my copy of TRICK and it's so pretty *_* I'm listening to it right now haha. I really hate watching Dirty Ballroom though. Because of all the effects giving me a terrible headache I wonder why the resealable wrapper is slightly bigger.

But the thing is all the songs you don't like it was extremely was popular for the people in Japan.

I don't think the album is selling little, I think its selling slow. No first press prizes. Bad economy. Well at least she was doing way better than the other two album that release.. LOL I'm surprise Teriyaki Boyz hit number 3 on the oricon charts xD

AVEX SHOULD STOP WITH THE CONSTANT RELEASES! I think its getting old. Eww. A new best or whatever album, save it AVEX. IT will sell way better on her 10th anniversary. She release BEST&BOUNCE LOVERS or whatever in 2007 and already another compilation album. The sales will suffer, I mean look at Ayu's A COMPLETE (I thought it would've sold so much higher if ABEST2 weren't released. The only reason for its considerably high sales was because of the whole 10th anniversary promo thingy)

[kotora]

Kewl.. I am sure she has enough songs for

BEST ~Cry & Strip~
Cry Side - All songs she broke or lost her bfs and cry like a river
Strip Side - All dirty songs but not dirty enough.
