It sounds pretty hot, but very generic lol. Could go either way in the end, excited tho!

[Minttulatte]

Oh, I'm gonna love that song so much♥

[Gustavopc]

Can't really tell anything from the preview... The song could drive in a Perfume direction, or POP DIVA or even Namie's Heaven. Need moar to judge it properly.

So, Bring it on ain't the a-side, uh? Hopefully it won't be the b-side also, cause if it makes to the album it may get a PV It had a nice dance routine in that perfomance, I'd love to see Kuu dancing to the whole thing

[Delicious n Bold]

I can use this. Kumi wants my money obviously. She just might get it.
Already shits on Summer Flop tbh. I havent bee excited for a Kumi release since... well ever. Nice to hear her vocals on such a song.

[owlflight]

Like the preview! If I can get a longer preview, I might actually buy this single.

[Zeke.]

Yeah this is not only a step above IS THIS TRAP?, it's an entire flight above that boring disappointment.

While I guess I was the only person who thought Is This Trap? was amazing (there is a part that she sings "Uh oh~" and its so sexy and coy it kills me), Dreaming Now sounds promising, but as someone said, possibly generic. Bring It On sounded more fun to me.

I actually loved the whole single, and Is This Trap? was definitely my favourite. Blasting it out whilst packing up stuff for the last few weeks definitely made time go faster.

Another new single already? Koda constantly spoils her fans! I think she's been on a roll for the last two years release-wise.

Dreaming Now sounds really cool. Kuu, why are you so amazing?

I just don't get the b-side, XXX, cause the song of SOULHEAD featuring Kuu is also named XXX... Maybe they'll change the title then

[Linoa62]

It's on the official site as well, there's a 45s preview of Dreaming Now!

Damn, she looks stunning! Very clean and classy, reminds me of her Universe era.
The song doesn't seem to do anything for me so far, it's too ordinary and Kuu's had much better songs in this style.

Cover is slaying me though.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I'm not loving the song but it's nice. I'm looking forward to the MV and live performances.

Me too. I was buy the single for IS THIS TRAP? But I was expected a better music in the song, but it's ok.

[happiholic★]

That cover is amazing. Holy. Damn, Kuu. But, most of her pictures slay me, so why am I surprised.

The song is generic as hell, but still really enjoyable. The other two J-Pop divas of Avex are doing this sound, so why can't Kuu?

Actually, Ayu, Namie and now Kuu have sported the high fashion look very recently, and all have very North American trance-inspired songs that have either been released or are coming out. If all three of them collaborated they could put out some serious avant garde electropop crap. It would be amazing. Also, I blame Gaga for this trend

[Benikari47]

Generally i've found the singles from this era to be consistently good, but not great. There hasn't been a song i really loved and played to death like i did with Love Me Back and Poppin' Love Cocktail from Japonesque.

Go To The Top was too rocky for my liking, Koishikute was really pretty but also a very "by the book" ballad. Summer Trip was the best simply cause it had more songs and more for me to play, but still i feel like they could have done so much more to the songs to make them better. Is This Trap? had so much potential but ended up a little flat.

I'm hoping they will sound better together as an album, and that the new songs will be great cause i'm not that excited for this era in all honesty. She's killed me with all her photoshoots though, they have been some of her best in years!

[Isicio]

wow the preview is AMAZING! this tropical beat to shake the hips is totally georgeous

the new album is coming soon sure and I won't buy this single ...time to think...LOL
