[Koda Kumi] The 156th Thread – 恋しくて (12.26) + 2nd Cover Album (February 2013)

[Gustavopc]

Can I dream of a cover album with PVs for all tracks?

[calltome]

A kuu-chan theard?? What?? I'm I dreaming?? And so many replies which is weird because many people hate kuu. As for the single of course is not gonna sale. They pulled it back when everyone was expecting it, just after go to the top!! According to oricon it debut on #5 and it moved up yesterday. I won't sweat it because its just a single!!

^If the new album is similar to ETERNITY with almost 8 ballads, no you don't! XD
I think this album will be more upbeat than ETERNITY, and not really about "love and songs".

I'm fine with 4 or 5 PVs IF they aren't like BE MY BABY / Megumi no Hito (they're good, but blah... I need something more than just one outfit and a weird cross)

@calltome: there's just love for Kuu in this thread ♥

[Gustavopc]

I also think it wont be full of ballads, tho I love them hahahaha Probably these PVs will be similar to JAPONESQUE ones, with basically two scenarios ad no plot, with a big exception for Pink Spider. As long as they're not full of cheap CG, I'm fine.

[Ayu_Love]

Ahh, looking forward to hearing more previews from the cover album, and seeing the cover. I have adored both previews so far.

[setsuka]

I think it might be for her next single, I still think this cover album is so totally random especially since she is releasing singles like I feel this will be a short promo for it and she will announce a new single right after and then another album later in the year

tho if it is for the cover album, I hope it is a ballad because I love Kuu's cover of older hit ballads and a nice pv would go great with it

plus Japan loves Kuu ballads and this would be better promo for her cover album since pink spider project is great

but to most people I think hearing and knowing the original would think she butchered the song and ppl get sensitive when it comes to hide work since he is dead but still very much alive when it comes to his massive fanbase

[Gustavopc]

ETERNITY was also released among singles, right after Suki de and before POP DIVA

[Ayu_Love]

It's kinda interesting to wonder when she will release her next Studio Album...Since it won't be the usual January-March date. I think a Summer album or an album near Christmas would be really cool. Even though I would hate to wait til next Christmas since I am very much looking forward to her next studio album!

then it made sense cuz it was 10th anniv and all

....13th anniv. is so random

[Ayu_Love]

^13th is quite random....But you know, Kuu, she'll take any excuse to release something awesome.

[Gustavopc]

Kuu herself is random

I think she'll hold that album till late December, like Black Cherry. A summer album would put a summer single out of the spotlight, it doesnt seem to be something Kuu would do, but I'd love her to stop playing safe with those seasonal singles

[Gubsi]

so if i try to think about her future plans...

-2nd Cover Album...
release should be february 13th, 20th or 27th...
(ayu takes the first week for a release...)
i think the reason why we get this, is just to put out an album, like her contract says and she still can do the JAPONESQUE Tour!
i made a joke about that Ayu's album could be titled "LOVE again" (even my playlist had this title before the announcement! ), so i maybe foreshadowing her cover album will be named "Premium Night -Love & Songs-...
when i first saw the promo pix+Name and later the theme of the concerts i always thought of ETERNITY -Love & Songs- just with some champagne/dinner/elegant party theme...
so i eat bananas if i'm right again! lol

-55th Single "TBA"
well i think we get a single in march, just because the fiscal year ends and avex wanna have them sales and stats...
and it's in her usual 2-3 month release cycle!
(and i want her to sing it on the live tour when i'm there!)

-Premium Night -Love & Songs- LIVE DVD
i think this could be the 2nd. DVD on her 2nd cover album...
BUT i think this will be a seperate release in march for the money!

-11th Studio Album
so a spring/early summer album with maybe a limited single could be the case or like Gustavopc said, fall/winter album!

if you have to describe her with just one word it would be definitively "random"!!

and yeah that 13th anni. thing made me laugh, i mean did her hormones went cray cray since the baby popped out in a martini glass baby bed or what happened!?

BUT thats why i love Kuu!
Always expect the unexpected!

[Gustavopc]

^ Oh, no, please, Premium Night is too weird for an album lol Give us Premium Something, but not Night pls hahahahaha

[Ayu_Love]

^I thought the cover album was going to be released on the 8th or at the beginning of Feb, too? Or have I made that up in my head

I wonder what Kuu will do for her 55th single, I can't wait.

I hope the cover album will have an awesome cover and title!

[Gustavopc]

^ 55th single? A maxi single with 5 songs and 5 PVs would be amazing for me

[Ayu_Love]

^That would be amazeballs. I'm actually looking forward to Kuu's next ballad, I hope it's awesome :3

[kaled kalil]

@Gustavopc: A single can't have 5 original songs (except when the last one is a bonus track) / 5 PVs, the release would be considered as a mini-album XD Maybe a short movie with all 5 songs together works lol.

I just hope the new cover album get the #1 weekly, so avex won't be so desperate to release another album any soon lol The best time imo is december, like she did with Black Cherry.

About the album's name, I think it'll be like ETERNITY 2 ~Bounce & Music~ or something next to this lol It's hard to tell since, you know, we have random name's compilations like second session and third universe.

Kumi is like Mariah Carey, she likes any reason to do festive things. lol

hahah but that ayu love again crap was totally expected, kumi isn't predictable, like you guys said she's totally random. I don't think she'll come up with an awkward title like that for a cover album, I mean "premium night" fits a concert only.

I just hope she keeps the ETERNITY word, like she does with the first/second/third thing for her BESTs and Driving Hit's for her remix album series. my guess is ETERNITY ~Rhythm and Soul~ or smth like that since this album seems to be oriented to dancey music (or at least I hope so, the first eternity was ballad overload -_-)

also, no one said this new cover album is some kind of anniversary celebration, she just needs one to promote the next tour (idk why with a cover album tho, maybe she felt like it's not the right time for a new studio album?). A friend of a friend of mine who was in one of the premium night shows told us Kuu said the 2013 tour will be focused on the new album, but she will still perform some songs from JAPONESQUE ):
