Great promo. She looks so cute next to the billboard with the ad. Hopefully, it will help to boost the album's sales. DNA should sell at least 25k. AND didn't even reach 20k but then again it was a FC album and wasn't promoted as much.

I love her long sweater dress thing. I've really been into that kinda style, so I've been stealing my boyfriend's clothes and wearing them.

Today's post is about HOT HOT!

She previews another part of the song.
Sounds like the ending to me:
https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl7Mcz9A...akumi_official

She asks the rhetorical question if this isn't a song like she did them in the past.
She thinks, that the sexy Kumi from that time is one of the most important essences of her. Which is why she made this hot summer song to include it in the album.



Nice, playful lyrics.

The DVD/Blu-ray tracklist was updated again.

[DVD](Blu-rayと共通)
WATCH OUT!! ~DNA~ [Music Video]
HAIRCUT [Music Video]
HUSH [Music Video]
CHANCES ALL [Music Video]

It finally includes CHANCES ALL.

So weird that they haven't update the pages for the stores with the cover and the final tracklist.

I actually DID get a mid-2000's Kuu vibe from the preview, happy that was her intention and it was selected for the album Hope she performs this on the tour

It looks like a boot that imitates socks? Cause they do look a lot like it.

Yeah but it seems like a custom made thing? The only thing I know its close to this is this thing - http://fashionablemillionaire.com/bl...tiletto-boots/ and it's not even that close.

It could be just knee high stocking with matching shoes. haha

No problem. I fixed the links for the first two since they weren't working.

Heh, didnt notice the heels either. They're certainly interesting and different. I find the styling for the covers to be phenomenal. I especially love what she's wearing in the CD + DVD cover.

a-nation wrote that Kuu will be the top batter for this Sat's a-nation performance in Nagasaki



https://twitter.com/anation_navi/sta...53544611078144

Not very sure what a-nation meant by that , meaning Kuu will talk the most or will be the headliner act ?

Partial lyrics of ScREaM

I noticed this shoes and the stockings, I figured that the shoes are just similar in colour to the stockings.

She's the headliner for Nagasaki.
She was also supposed to be the headliner for Mie.

Her thoughts about the new song:
In ScREaM she's talking about how the society is a jungle and how everybody is fighting in it everyday.
It's a song about being positive in such an environment, which is why it's a pop song. Even if there malicious events and other obstacles, you push forward nevertheless.
In the tags she says, she has to train to win and is joking that she doesn't want to go the the gym right now and rather watches television, lol.

Those lyrics are strange.
While the others were nice, these ones are a miss.
I mean, there is the wordplay with icecream in the chorus and she means it as a methapor for people in society, I guess. And in contrast that she screams about, how cruel it is probably.
It just doesn't work how she is using it here with both words. Or the play with lauder and louder.
Ah, Kuu, use more Japanese, then those mistakes won't happen. Well, next time maybe.
Gonna write her a coment about it. She is reading her comments on Insta after all.

Considering how people are talking about it in the Ayu threads.... there are comments under Kuu's new Insta post, worrying if she isn't getting too thin.
She posted another photo with it on Insta:



But this is also a pretty bad angle to see something like that.
