Ugh, I will be so pissed if Kimura takes this from Kuu. I listened to that best and it's pure ****--almost every single song sounded the same. >.< I'm about ready to cave and buy the album now... Then again, not like my one copy will make a difference, lol.

And thanks for the previews, Tsubasa.

Oh, and her new logo is really random and I don't think I like it, hah. Just doesn't fit well...

Polyrhythm · #**342** 7th February 2010, 06:58 PM

That's awfully discrediting of Kaela's music....

She's awesome. I wouldn't worry if I were you though....the difference is still 3kish....and Kumi isn't going to loose the #1 unless she takes a huge drop and Kaela stays consistent....and even if she took a small drop Kaela should drop too....maybe next week Kumi will loose the #1 but it doesn't seem like it'll happen this week. Plus she's got avex backing her up with all those posters and promo performances.

avex isn't the only ones pulling cheap stunts it seems...

And lest anyone say that ~avex magic~ and their sudden poster campaign were an unfair tactic, Columbia pulled a similar thing for Kaela - till tonight JST, purchasers of the first press edition of "5years" can download the full chaku-uta version of "Butterfly (ORIGINAL KARAOKE)" for free via the same chaku-uta download card that's included in the package. The same song goes on sale end-Feb at recochoku and mid-March at iTunes Japan, BTW.

Columbia's promotion campaign is stupid though. OMG A KARAOKE TRACK!1one!oneone!!!111

~Inori~ · #**345** 7th February 2010, 07:52 PM

It maybe be stupid but Japan loves their karaoke.

Polyrhythm · #**346** 7th February 2010, 07:54 PM

Yeah....and let's not forget that the bonus on the SHIDAX version of Kumi's Best is basically a Karaoke video thing...

I'm one of those people

I like kaela's music but I think both
artists are awesome!! so I'm not too worried about the sales

Gubsi · #**348** 7th February 2010, 09:17 PM

Hmm i wish really Kuu will get the #1 spot, thats normal cause she is my #1!
BUT i would wish it especially for Kuu the most cause of her 10th and i enjoyed her BEST more than Kaela's!
(My Kaela Review comes out soon! xD )

I'm fair enough to say: it's ok if Kaela get #1, she deserved the #1 as well, even i'm not a big fan of her, BUT she has really some good songs!
BUT i don't know why Kaela's Butterfly has so much love, it's ok and nothing special!

adantatu2 · #**349** 7th February 2010, 10:50 PM

Oh i prefer kumi than kaela, kumi is not my favorite singer, but she deserves it

hpg23 · #**350** 7th February 2010, 11:46 PM

are the translated lyrics for the UNIVERSE album somewhere, people?

Baernash · #**351** 8th February 2010, 01:02 AM

I have a question about Stay With Me single. Does 1st press has anywhere written at OBI or sticker that's a "First Press", or it was just poster given but no "First Press" mark?

just a poster was given as a 1st press item

it doesn't have the 1st press mark on the OBIs unlike for MOON's case

& to me , what's the point in bashing an artiste that you don't like ? other people who support that particular artiste will feel really hurtful & that will start the whole un-necessary exchange of words on the net

I don't listen to Kaela at all but if she gets #1 at the end of the day , so be it

it's not the end of the world if Kumi gets #2 . Her fans are still behind to rally her & all

Polyrhythm · #**355** 8th February 2010, 02:24 AM

Kaela is so quirky

. She's great. Nobody will be harmed if she get's the #1 though...especially not Kumi....she's still bringing in all that cash @____@

These. Seriously. The criticism here is pretty minimal so it's tolerable, but argh, the one @ another Kuu forum is like, over the top. Annoying.

yeah I can imagine for that D:

I never see the desire/need to criticise other artistes for 'snatching' away the top spot from the artistes I support & all

you don't get anything at the end of the day somemore

Crystal_Ageha · #**358** 8th February 2010, 03:24 AM

Ugh, I started two "artist bashing" troubles at one time, lol. :X
Look, I just want to state for the record, I have nothing against Kaela Kimura. I don't mind her personally and I think her voice is cute. However, her music is not my taste, and even if it were, I don't think her best is anything amazing. (I seriously meant it when I said her music sounds all the same to me--I listened to each song at least twice, and several times I had to make sure I clicked on the next song instead of the one I was just listening to, lol... There was one song I like, though.) I honestly believe that Kumi's best is unspeakably better, so she deserves it more, in my opinion. :\ I wasn't, by any means, bashing Kimura, and I understand why she's getting such a growing fanbase. ....But I still think her best sucks. I'm sorry I feel that way, but that's how it is. Guess I'll just go back to keeping my opinions about other artists to myself...

Anyhow, I have a question:
Do we know any of the tracks that will be on Driving Hits II? I can't find a single song that's supposed to be on it, but I figured we should've at least had some rumours, since it's only a month away..

jean-baptiste · #**359** 8th February 2010, 03:29 AM

^nope, nothing has surfaced yet.
there actually were some remixes that were previously realeased that weren't on the first Driving Hits.
so my guess is, those will probably be on it, plus new ones.
i'm pretty sure new ones mostly.

**milky_way** · #**360** 8th February 2010, 03:37 AM

I want the Shake It Up remix from the Kingdom Tour
