4 hot wave means a lot to me too. It was the single she had just released while I was visiting Japan. And hurray for another I'll Be There lover!!

I also love I'll be there

The PV was fantastic too. That was such a good time for not only Kuu, but Jpop in general...*sigh* Nostalgia...

Wow! Those pv previews look sooo good! I can't wait to see all the videos. As of right now I want to see all the videos equally, but when it comes to the songs, KO-SO-KO-SO is my favorite, and V.I.P is also pretty good. PLC has grown on me a lot from watching the live performances of it, so I'm really starting to like that as well. And since I've only heard the short preview of In the Air so far, I can't really say too much about it, but I'm really liking what I hear so far!! Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this single!!

Random question, but why does Kuu use a different kanji in her stage name from her actual one?

omgpeachsnapple · #**385** 21st July 2011, 04:19 AM

I think after that CM this single is my favorite.
I'm so in love.

Her real name is 神田來未子 (Koda Kumiko)

But she uses 倖田來未 (Koda Kumi)

Is that what you were asking?

Poppin'love cocktail debuts at #1 at Chaku Uta, yay!

Yeah, Kumi is her nick- and stagename.
In this big documentary they say that her mum came up with it using it like that.

Of course she topped the charts. She's the queen.

I bet this single will do well on physical charts too <3

Twinkle ! · #**394** 21st July 2011, 11:09 AM

^ ah i really hope so , first single to sell 100k since MOON

happiholic★ · #**395** 21st July 2011, 04:31 PM

I imagine it will do well. Look at how fast the post card version sold out. And that CD only has one song.

Corvina · #**396** 21st July 2011, 04:53 PM

I would love seeing her selling 100k with a single again, especially with her 50th now.
But I'm sceptical, cause the physical sales aren't anymore like they used to be and Kuu never was a big single seller. Although Lollipop last year was a big hit,Gossip Candy couldn't reach 100k as well. She was better digital the last two years.
But let's wait and see, I'm always for a surprsie and maybe the clever promotion works!^^

By the way

A bunch of Kumi songs started re-charting digitally in the single download (full songs):

40 - 愛のうた
56 - you
57 - POP DIVA
72 - Lollipop
81 - 恋のつぼみ
83 - anytime
94 - TABOO

I'm really happy to see that!

tenshi no hane · #**397** 21st July 2011, 05:50 PM

I've suddenly fallen in love with Stands Up's preview

The album which it's on was released yesterday, right? I hope it'll be uploaded soon *-*

do it again · #**398** 21st July 2011, 06:01 PM

i'm sure this single will sell upwards of 20,000

Minttulatte · #**399** 21st July 2011, 06:19 PM

Well, even if 4 TIMES won't reach 100k, I hope it sells as good as her singles last year.

Corvina · #**400** 21st July 2011, 06:38 PM

I don't know how somebody already get those, but the 4 TIMES poster are sold at Yahoo auctions:

I saw the other one being sold, too, but I can't find the pic anymore.
