love this shoot hopefully someone will make better scans later ;_;

amazing scans! I like the shoes jejeje
on the other hand, dejavu stage is so poor.... compared to universe, trick, BC, kingdom, it's like a step back :S

[Ayu_Love]

^I think it's because it's a hall tour, so she has much less stage to play with. With UNIVERSE and so on she has huge stages so she can make huge stage sets without them getting in the way of the rest of the stage where her and the dancers need room to perform. Will hall tour stages there isn't really enough room to do that. That's my reasoning anyway, hahaha! I am really looking forward to seeing the POP DIVA performance where she falls into a cauldron, apparently.

This, too! It's why I said I think she has one of the best JPOP styles out there, because of her versatility. I love how she can do cute pop, soulful ballads, sexy r'n'b and awesome rock songs and do them all naturally.

Ahh those scans are so beautiful! (Apart from the tag, hahaha). I really love the new brown hair on her. She always looks so sexy with brown hair.

I dont really care that much about stages... Kingdom tour had an enormous one, but it was too wasted imo, while DBR had even no screens but it was for sure one of her best concerts ever. The same for ETERNITY live.

[Beauty4123]

kuu looks gorgeous in those mag scans! i love the fall theme. just beautiful!

[Kingdom]

so good to see so much Kuu love in this place I remember the days when only a handfull of people liked her around here.

those scans are so cute. I love the 2nd & 3rd.

[kaled kalil]

DBR have a cool small stage and Dejavu Tour don't looks that good. The only thing I like is the floor cause it's a chess floor. And that scary bunny @ Dejavu Tour stage freaks me out.

It's missing just two magazines: BLENDA and CUTiE.

[happiholic★]

I find it kinda funny that Kuu has the most Western sound, like VIP and At the Weekend compared to like Ayu or someone, but at the same time she has some truly J-Pop songs that would never make it here. Again, playing into her versatility. She's kinda on the cusp of it all. I think someone like Ayu is truly J-Pop, whereas someone like Miliyah Kato is truly Western, and Kuu is somewhere in between.

Love those Elle pics, especially the second and third one!
Elle is a unusal mag for her, but it fits to her classy and mature side she shows more often now, she's evolving.
Like emiko and Love Shine said, her versatility between western and asian, cute, classy and sexy, is great. She often seems so bubbly and well, not serious, but that's just her, it's natural. I can understand if people don't like that, but like for emiko it's for me one of the biggest reasons to love her, it's her own way of being classy, mature and sexy. Even if she's making mistakes or showing bad sides, it's just her being herself.

Sounds cool, the vocals are weird cause it's live but I love it so far.

I see a green thing back there, chroma key again?

[Beauty4123]

kuu looks stunning! love her outfit. i really can't wait to watch the PV now!!

and the preview of "Love Me Back" sounds great! i think i'm gonna love this song!

[Corvina]

Hm, could be amazing in full, can't say much about Love Me Back with that little preview.
Actually together with the pic from the making of I get a V.I.P. x Cherry Girl vibe.

[Minttulatte]

Love Me Back's gonna be awesome. PV shoot looks promising and the song itself sounds promising. I'm waiting for a better preview to say more about it.

And those Elle scans looks beautiful

[tenshi no hane]

Love Me Back sounds (and looks) promising so far

And she looks really classy and beautiful in ELLE <3

THIS.

Ahhh the backstage pick and the preview both sound and look so awesome. The outfit has pleasantly surprised me, so sexy! I love the little preview, her vocals sound really strong so far. Can't wait to hear full. It brings me back to Cherry Girl times.

It is the BLENDA and CUTIE October scans that are missing? I've been looking for October BLENDA scans, too.
