yes! i was just thinking this yesterday.

this tiny break of BIG news and RELEASE news has made me anxious for more kuu. i am still jamming to universe though

[noisy_harmony]

I wouldn't mind for another typical summer single, srsly. I enjoyed Kuu's ones a way more than Ayu's.

[Lee^ChaN]

Maybe she's too busy with UNIVERSE Tour & also preparation for Stadium Tour..
I want new single too

Anyway, look what i bought yesterday


It supposed to have a kind of lottery inside the pack for UNIVERSE TOUR Pair Ticket.. Guess no luck for me yet

how cute I'm glad someone else liked lick me enough to want another one too!

[Twinkle !]

^ Lick me was a great song

[Crystal_Ageha]

Holy crap, it actually hasn't been very long since she released something...... But for Kuu, it's been for EVER, hah--WE NEED A KUU RELEASE!! I'm also very looking forward to a summer single. She definitely has some of the best summer singles of any artist.

[Corvina]

alterna of JPM was at one of the Nagoya shows of UNIVERSE tour:

To sum it up, it was really, really awesome! The UNIVERSE "space/air travel" theme really worked and they did an excellent job implementing it into the show. Kuu looked great in all of the costumes and she sounded great live in all of the songs (with the exception of some parts of Got To Be Real, she was kind of screaming some of it and it hurt my ears... speaking of the Got To Be Real performance, it was really cool because when the song started she appeared on top of a giant silver disco ball!!).

I spent a little over 10,000 yen in merchandise, so I got two boarding passes. Only one of them was valid though. I went through the line and picked door number 2, but I didn't win the Air Koda Blanket. I got the phone strap though!

I won't go into too many details about the show itself, because I'm lazy, but overall it was extremely aesthetically pleasing. The lights and lasers going everywhere, fireworks, fire, tons of water shooting all around the small circle stage at the end of the catwalk (when she did 愛のうた she was laying on her back on the circle stage and the water was going all around her, then a small part of the catwalk lifted her up and there was water under her, making it look like she was floating. Singing laying down seems like it would be hard but she didn't sound bad at all doing so).

When it was time for anytime, two of the male dancers came out in the audience and looked for someone for Kuu to sing to. They came right by me 3 times but ended up picking a girl a few rows behind me. She had the biggest look of shock on her face. She could barely smile. She just looked like she was going to pass out/die.

All of the video interludes were fun and well done. I was surprised with the CGI because for the most part it didn't look cheap. The best video was played during UNIVERSE. It was kind of like a music video and she looked a lot like she did in the booklet for BEST ～third universe～ (the shots of her with the sunglasses and in that futuristic chair). I hope they'll include it on the tour DVD.

Her performances of her sexy songs get more and more racy as time goes by. During the part with Cutey Honey, ECSTASY, and Physical thing, each one was really raunchy at some points. Lots of deep grinding, hip thrusting, boob squeezing, the male dancers lifting Kumi and the female dancers' teeny-tiny skirts up, the female dancers pulling off the male dancers' pants, etc. Even Kuu pulled up on of the female dancer's skirt up at one point. There was a part during Physical thing (I'm pretty sure it was that song, it might have been ECSTASY or Work It Out!... I'm bad at remembering things sometimes) where Kumi smacked one of the dancers down and made him go on all fours and sat on his back, slapping his ass all the while. It was hilarious.

Last point of interest, when it came time for the encore, she got in her weird carriage thing and they pushed her around the audience. I was on the very end of the row right on the edge of her path so I was literally 2 feet away from her at one point. She's so small!!!! Oh yeah, she cried during her speech at the end and a little during walk. It was endearing I guess, but kind of predictable. She always cries at the end of her concerts, haha

I still sounds so awesome!
