My point is that I am very impressed how japanese guys can perform as girls so well. Transsexual used to be guys and they still have a voice similar to guys, but I am very impressed ... and I like how they start paying attention to equality of different kind of people (transsexual) - Transsexual people can be successful as well!

So, what do you guys think about what Koda has done in this year so far? Good/Fairly good/Ok/ Bad?

(I'll be talking about end of TRICK/post-TRICK era.)
I'll say...fairly good. Because she did a little better than what I expected, as far as performances and what she's put out - especially compared to the start and a little before the TRICK era, since I hated most of the singles and was disappointed in a few things (like the whole Moon single, and the collaboration with Fergie, etc.) - but I was still hoping for something a little more. Like, for example, I really enjoy 3 SPLASH, but there's something missing... I guess maybe I was just expecting too much of her, or out of that single, at least. I was looking for a real rock song in place of Hashire!, hah. :\
I think things are only going to be getting better for Kuu next year, though. She was at kind of slump a while back, and her latest works seems like she's climbing back up. Hopefully the next album will be as amazing as I'm hoping. Like I said, I really like 3 SPLASH, I like the duet with misono... Plus, her lives have been good. And her calendar is beautiful, hah... All seems to be going well. :yes

Here are the previews ^^

well since next year's her 10th anniversary , things hopefully should pick up for her & it's a more fitting time to release another BEST album for a good reason

I've made scans of my TRICK Ura.

Will.i.am and Kuu holding hands! :laugh

I have the feeling that Avex is planning a lot and something big for Kuu's anniversary. Cause at the end of this book stands "to be continued" just like with the tour.

The book is really nice
I received mine yesterday,too =)

If only I could read all the japanese stuff in there:-(

@Corvina :shughug danke Rika!!! :D

ooh very lovely :heart

the back & front covers looks great in HQ mode :yes

===

EDIT - Taiwan press of the TRICK DVD will be out next Fri :) & the cover being used's the 1st press limited edition

note that the version that HMV HK & YesAsia are selling , it's the HK press for Koda's DVDs . So no word on when the HK press is up for preorder yet

it might be the same day as taiwan or different , it all depends

the book is very nice :yes although I really like only the last picture and on before it :) thanks for the scans :)

For her 10th anniversary i hope there's Special idea like Her 12 Single project :heart

i love her project and idea :love

I hope that someone veeery great will happen,too.

Something much more than Ayu did in her 10th year.

You know Kumi is a "WORKAHOLIC" so I think she won't disappoint us^^

Love it! I might actually buy this one, too!

I totally wanna buy it too!! xD
