Yeah her vocals are a bit sharp in this new song. It's not pleasant. Lol.

Imagine to me is her best song in years, the lyrics alone are so good and I loved the live version from Bon Voyage tour :) <3

I totally love how "Dance in the Rain" sounds so far! :heart I can't wait to hear the full song. :)

I think that Kuu vocals have a bit gone worse for me, which might be cause of pregnancy, but this is just what I personally noticed in Japonesque concert and Let's Party Vol.2

^ It sounds the same to me...

I've noticed that Kuu's been playing with her vocals more these days. As far as live... I haven't really watched any, lol. But, considering how much she's been doing, they are probably just over-worked.

(I love her vocals in Dance in the Rain

EDIT: Listening to Grow Into One and holy god. The whole thing is basically one big TLC reject demo album. And the over use of the word "one" annoys me. Just reminded me why I never listen to this album. *Hits play on Feel My Mind*

I love how you guys like everything Kumi has released.

I basically ignore almost everything before second session.

I much prefer Grow Into One to Feel My Mind. I really want to like Feel My Mind more though. There are some great songs on it but the album seems like a bit of a slog to get through towards the middle & end.

^
^ That's what I feel like it's for Namie instead of Kuu tbh :P

Can anyone recommend a good source to watch Kuu's PV's with English subs?

You and me both. Well, I do check up on kumi from time to time and on the rare occasion that the planets align, I like her music.

But I like Brand-kumi more though, when she releases products.

^To be honest, I think it's a kind of cyclical thing, cause I'm starting to ignore everything she's releasing after JAPONESQUE :/

Well, she just releases music that I like the most in this world so of course I love everything. She just doesn't seem to never disappoint me. Namie and Hikki are like that too. :)

I've never liked her early releases.

Some songs on Secret really grew on me though. Oh, and I like the song Dream.

idek when most of that shit was released though.

I didn't like Koda for a long time because I think that her early material is very weak and bland. Plus I didn't like her over sexualised image just to sell her music. Seems desperate to me.

But I always knew that she has a killer voice and then suddenly her material got a lot better. Plus the driving hit's really helped me enjoy her discography more. I like it when artists release plenty of remixes :)

I wonder when we'll start getting news of a new single. We have 5 songs (4 with PVs) that are unreleased. I'll be surprised if we don't get at least a single in December. Really wonder what they are planning...

^ ikr /: I'd love to get a double a-sided single with an rnb-ish ballad and Dance In The Rain

SO FEVER is her best since JAPONESQUE imo other than Pink Spider

Can anyone point me in the direction of a list of ALL her B-sides and other songs? (not on albums?)
This is something would I normally just do, but I'm short on time!
thanks!
