You can still compare the fact that they are both artists.

I feel that Ayu used to always be at the forefront of music in Japan. Her genre styles almost always seemed to usher in a new era or time for music, always sounding fresh. She was a very modern artist. But lately, she has been doing more of a "throw-back" sound... which is just so strange knowing the type of artist she has been in the past.

Kumi on the other hand, has embraced a more modern sound, while still sounding original. There are a ton of Kumi songs I love, but I could never imagine Ayu singing them.

DVD special is "sold out"
Blu-ray special have 20 copies left yet ^^

I love both Kuu and Ayu, but I like more Ayu than Kuu. For me they're complementary

Kumi wanted to sing since she was a kid cause she admired the way her mom touched people's heart singing, and she wished to do this someday, singing for her is touching someone's heart, and that's why she talks about love a lot, her ballads rarely are "alternative" and also why she puts so much effort on her lives. She's there for the public. On the other hand, when ayu started singing, she herself stated she wanted to save herself through music, and that's why her style is so full of messages and concepts, in that "artistic way". Her songs are mostly about her and her life experience. It's like Kuu was the pop singer, and ayu the alternative one. I think you can pair ayu much better with Utada and Kuu with Namie or Kana. Comparing ayu x Kuu is like a bit less ''stroner''than comparing Coldplay x The Wanted

A++

Overall I prefer Ayu, but there are songs that I adore by Kumi that I would never want Ayu to sing

I think they're very different, not only in the music they put out, but in their image, personality, ideas...
100% agree with comparing Ayu with Utada and Kuu with Namie. I think that makes a much better discussion

...back to LOVE again...how are they gonna handle the cm?? there's only one new pv and its not for a new song, oops

I was about to read your post properly but my eyes went to your ava and then to the words "hot dogs".....I dunno why but now it looks like timmy is omnomnom'in for hot dogs and I can't unsee it.

But yes, a secret couples photobook would actually be awesome in its own way hahaha

Man, since there's so little content to talk about, it feels like forever since we got something interesting about the project. I hope that any previews will at least have new songs on them to tide us over til the release.

Message board for PLAYBUTTON and big clip for the rest of the versions through mu-mo?

marekcarey · #**317** 11th January 2013, 01:22 PM

SURREAL__RAINBOW · #**318** 11th January 2013, 01:27 PM
