Well, I remember theTABOO PV preview was just a bit of her dancing in the last chorus and many people found it boring, but those seconds didnt show any other scenario or the plot, so... Who knows what's happening on the rest of the video? Yes, it's likely that there's nothing more than this to the vídeos but people are being too quick to judge...

One of the things I love about Kuu is her dancing. So, the fact that avex isn't giving her a PV budget or hiring her a decent crew is okay. I will just obsess over her body and amazing skill ❤❤❤

tbqh. I don't watch PVs as often as before anymore. I usually appreciate the fact that it gives me a visual, but I would never complain about it nor would it minder my enjoyment of the music itself.

If I weren't an obsessed collector I would just skip CD+DVD editions.

I only buy cd only versions because I am tired of bundles and crazy prices versions + DVD(s)
they obviously don't care about quality, so I don't invest in their product either. I buy the CDL to support the artist and watch pvs online (many times only once bc they are such a snoozefest nowadays)


either way; not blown away by what we've seen and heard so far, hopefully I get more excited when we have the full albums

It's human nature to judge, my friend. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. The opinions of this forum's users shouldn't really matter, chill haha in the end, maybe it's not as cheap as it seems, but right now it looks like and that's all we got.

I really liked the 5 sec of Insane, but WG sounds like something she did before more than once, I just can't recall what. Liked it anyway haha

BTW following that Arabian Nights playlist on Spotify remembered me of a friend who judged me when I said juicy has an Arabian feel to it lmao guess I wasn't alone. Thanks Junnior Kopke!

This had the potential to be a great shot but something seems off about her expression

Spoiler:


Is this a new video for pachinko only? Looks like it's from Color the Cover era

No, Nail of Queen is right when you read the Japanese underline.
They mean the nails of the queen.

I guess I interpreted it as since her nails are the object of admiration and longing by many she is considered the queen of nails. Additionally, the first sentence under the byline reads "Nail queen."

BRIDGET SONG is everything and more <3 I love it so much it hurts

The PVs look basic and uninspired just like I thought they would. WG is basically a rehashed Inside Fishbowl. That aesthetic has been used over and over again not only by Kuu but many others. I'll stick to CD only versions this time around.

Spoiler:
I think it's her breath.
When modeling you can inhale, exhale, hold your breath and gasp to help change your expression, especially the subtle expression of your body. It can give a pose real life, energy and movement.

It looks like she is holding the pose, and breathing normally while expressing something that would naturally occur with an exhale. So there is a flatness to it. It could be her just holding that exact pose for a little while to long (say, while on the downfall of a jump to get that wicked hair), or a vigorous headflick (to get that hair movement) where the camera/photographer caught her just too late during her exhale.

Either way, she has no breath movement, and it makes her whole body expression appear somewhat flat or lifeless.
