[Koda Kumi] Kumi kuu likes you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE in her 70th thread!

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Sales are dwindling for her, so AVEX prolly wanna get fans hyped about her again.

[LuverOfLuv]

I guess it was 2 discs, not 2 versions, so that means it's probably Works & Remix ~Best Collaboration~...

this is something i can get excited about.
more so than about trick actually.
i was pretty let down when that was canceled last year. :/

[Beauty4123]

cute mag cover it looks kinda photoshopped though, lol.

...and it's a pity that TRICK's sales are going so slow

Probably, but can't they also do that with good TRICK promotions?

well, I'm not expert so it's just a guess.

She looks so cute on the Fine cover

i am proud of kumi kuu and trick. but then again, i don't listen to an artist because she has phenomenal sales. she could sale 10 copies but as long as she keeps making music, i'll keep enjoying it and support her.

i think she needs to take a break though, to relax, get fresh ideas, then come back and start new for her 10th anni

[love in music]

another best? i don't like the sound of that. i wouldn't mind if kuu had a break, came back and did some cool things such as releasing awesome music, etc.

omg thanks so much

"TRICK" is selling like a really good SINGLE. That's not a good thing.

I knew coming out with another Album so soon and with so much material just wasn't a good idea. Sales are as expected. She needs to pull an Utada and disappear for a few years.

The longer Avex persists in this pattern of theirs with Kumi the steeper her slope into irrelevancy.

[kuulover21]

I'm sad to say this.. but Kuu is over right now.
Maybe she will sell 380k - 400k overall.
It's a big disaster considering her last album KINGDOM surpased 600k even with all the scandal thing, and BLACK CHERRY 1400k, and SECOND SESSION 1900k and FIRST THINGS 2000k, and SECRET 550k, and... well...

She needs to TAKE A BREAK right now, and then come back with something REAL GOOD to return to prominence.. something like Namie did with her 60's70's80's.

[Brodie Boy]

OH lol a new best. It better be damn exciting!. I think your right kuulover21, I think she needs to take a little breack before producing more music, but maybe thats what this best of album is for, so that she can make new music or new music can be made for her that is better. I personally still love the music on 'Trick', but maybe I am a crazed fan XD.

[RikkuChii]

I loved TRICK too..

Either way, girl needs to take a page out of Namie's book and take a break.

I guess hmv hk was right...

Edit: It's not 2 versions...

T_T I don't know if I want to buy this or not

anyway guys I don't think it's fair to compare Kingdom's sales with TRICK because Kingdom was released in 3 different editions but TRICK only got 2

so that prob explains the low sales ?

[emi♡]

I really don't want her to take a break

they do need to stop release-whoring her though...


anyway quick random OT question, how old is kuu? I forgot.
