However, the albums has grown on me so much since then that now I'm taking my words back. I literally love every single track on it. And if someone says this album is a true masterpiece to them - they are free to do so. To each his own. This isn't my all time #1 favourite album from Kumi but it's definitely one of. The title track alone IS a True Masterpiece. Lyrics are some of my favourte ever. I connect with them so damn well. Music & music video are perfect too. Damn, Kumi girl you deserve all possible music awards just for this song. Genius.

I'm also taking back what I said about KLoop - that it's ugly. Shame on me twice. I've got my big plushy (35 cm tall) with some other Kumi goods couple of weeks ago and I love it. I mean, just look at it - it's adorable! Still not sure if it's he or she. Who cares.

WOML definitely is an album you need more listens to get into it.
Also I do believe it's not a coincidence she released such an important album for her on her 15th Anniversary and it having that free life theme.

Don't know if you guys remember, but she also did say in interviews before, that earlier in her career she wished her voice to be higher so she could fit better in the JPop music market. She needed time to embrace her voice being different.
So that's maybe also a reason for her love for western (produced) music as her voice just fits it better. Or at least that's what she believes.

It's been like a month since the Promise you CM aired and we still have no official info about it, not even a post on Kuu's FB page with it lol I know there's no hype being built around it but I'm so ansious for the 60th single, I hope Cupcake gets released on it

She has nice abs and I have a fat abs...

@LiDaYu That's great to know then hahahaha thanks for the info

@Corvina omg she's looking gorgeous Wondering if there'll any new video for it (I don't mean for a new song, I guess that was a one-time only thing, but she does shoot some alternative short PVs). And maybe the reason she hasn't been announced yet is her tour...? I wonder how different this FEVER nation will be from the usual a-nation' concerts also

[salina]

she looks great like always

[ayu_ready?]

she looks awesome!

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Nice that Kuu will be at a-nation. For some reason I won't be surprised if Kuu doesn't do a summer single this year or she instead opts for a 1-track no PV limited single ala Shh in July. I guess we'll see.

[salina]

wow its always nice to see ku chan in a nation

[kaled kalil]

Once they "announced" her 60th single in the end of her current tour, teasing a video of her in the studio, I don't think they would try to create some hype with her fans/the audiences and bring only an "exclusive physical live release", like Shhh! . I mean, we're talking about a summer release, the only kind of release that she did every year, even when she was pregnant.

[ALfromHELLSING]

OMG this picture looks like it has been taken during her second session era. I love her hair here so much, brings back all those second session album memories!

As for the new Pachinko collabo, I know I'll sound selfish saying that but I wish this was a solo-Kumi FEVER release. I know, I'm one spoiled fan. Still better than nothing. Kumi better get more than one new song! I so need another SO FEVER & Kimi Omoi. I still can't get enough of both tracks!

[Gubsi]

according to her japanese fc she's recording AGAIN today... x.X
i mean girl, can you just announce something?!

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I got so excited when I saw the thread bumped with Gubsi as the last poster. I was expecting "new Japanese FC announcement tonight!!!" or the single announcement lol

[maze]

KUU & SHUN

[kaled kalil]

Looking pretty, as always. Shun is good looking sometimes. haha
I'm curious to see the new videos from a-nation, but if we get one from Kumi it will probably be something that was on the TV version and not released. I'm still waiting to see the JUICY lost footage.

[jean-baptiste]

Nice pic! I find SHUN very attractive. (That pic is questionable though lol.) Might be because I think he's talented. Kuu looks great as always. Also, the fact that she's a fan of Keith Haring makes me like her more, haha.

[Minttulatte]

I have missed so many discussions in this thread while being away from here lol.

A TV version for LIVE TOUR 2016, huh? Awesome. I shall watch the performances somewhere then. 8D

Lol, I knew the WOML praise posts will appear eventually after all the crying of how bad it is. Personally I have loved it since day one and it's still amazing as fuck. I have listened to it through many times. Not even the lack of ballads bothers me but I do hope her next album has more of them.

For me Kuu is the only reason I care about a-nation. It's like a "Kuu nation" for me lol. I hope the concert gets streamed again so we can watch the performances in full.

Also, her outfit for that new Panchiko machine press conference is amazing. Many people bashes her cute little hair bun which I don't understand at all, haha.

//And omg, there's a summer single listed for a August release too? I'm so excited now! 8D

[maze]

This brings back so many good memories on Kingdom era amazingness. That dance break is EVERYTHING!
