All I want to know is... where are her magazine shoots for the album? Please don't tell me ViVi was the only one

+1

I wouldn't be surprised if sales in general continue to take a HUGE decline...and I actually hope they do. In the US, you can buy popular artists new albums on release date online and in stores for, what, $9.99? They're raping the public and they deserve to go bankrupt. lol

Are the scans of the album already out?

People don't want Kuu to change, or not be herself to get better sales. I think we're catching the wrong end of the stick, here. People are just suggesting that Kuu should shake things up, change things/experiment with her career that she would choose to want to, like Namie. Namie changed herself because she wanted a change, and it worked, not because she had to. If Kuu is happy as she is, than of course she doesn't need to change, but Kuu has always stated that she continually wishes to grow as an artist, by trying new things, and there's nothing wrong with people suggesting what they think she should try next. People are just saying in their opinion what they would like to see Koda change, as constructive fans. As a fan they have a right to that opinion, and to worry about Kuu falling into the 'Ai Otsuka' region, nobody wants that. XD The only complaining people are doing is that JAPONESQUE is not selling as much as it deserves, I don't see any other complaining in terms of Kuu, just what people personally would like to see her do next. Ex. re-styling herself, in a way that she wanted to, or just release an r'n'b album or rock album, things like that.

Like people have suggested, she can try a load of things to shake it up, and she would put her sexy style on it, because that style is unique to her, it's what she does. It just depends on what she chooses to blend that style with. :)
Like for me, I'd love to see Kuu do an album where each song had a theme and influence from a different country, as she filmed the PV's on thise countries, like in her 12 singles collection she did a cover representing a different country on each one, that would be awesome! :D

Such as, Arabia/India would kinda be like Candy/So Nice, I imagine a british song would be like pop rock or just pop, lol. America, strong r'n'b song, Japan, nice ballad, etc.

And I don't think it would hurt for her to try some more stuff of what's in fashion at the moment, considering she represents a young fan base. But of course, only if she wanted to try that, people are just suggesting, no one would want Kuu to feel that she has to do something that she didn't want to, that would be horrible, and she never would. :) She may not want to dress up as a doll, which is fine.

I seem to have found a habit of writing in big essays, sorry about that. :/

I was wondering, does anybody have any of Kuu's albums in Itunes .m4a lossless format? Or just anything you have will do? ^_^

From her official website:
avex always making money from Kuu omg o_o there's even a Live CD! Probably we'll get three best of while until November if things keep on going like this

oh wait, is the live cd a FC only release or did I get it wrong?

Lol.. i dont think soooo.... :thud

^lol yeah, obviously it's not.

oh, okay. thanks.

Does anyone have HQ version of this cover (with text not just pic alone)?

I suspected Avex would eventually start releasing live CDs for Kuu. They did dub her the "Queen of Live" after all, so it makes sense that they'd use that element of her persona to sell more than concert tickets and DVDs.

If the Dejavu live CD sells well enough, they'll probably put out more for her previous tours since she's not able to release much of anything else at the moment. :P

^This is just so low. Like we already have live rips of all her lives. I wonder how low avex can go, I wish they just spend more money on al promotion.

and what only 11 tracks on Driving Hit's 4? and no V.I.P., KO-SO-KO-SO remixes. what the... at least Love Me Back is there. it better be as good as Driving Hit's 3. it took me some time to fell in love with it, but now it's my fav.

~thnx 4 the news

If only it wasn't just a fanclub release. I'd certainly buy it. :(

I think it's just a preliminar setlist for DH4?
If not, I will be very upset in not seeing ESCALATE or So Nice and even No Man's Land.. xD

DH2 it's pure love ♥♥♥ my favorite
DH3 was too much... calm, maybe (?) xD

Dont see why a live cd is not good. Its not like we're getting it in lieu of anything else, its just extra.

Besides, Dejavu tour has such a wonderful ballad section, and her vocals were gorgeous throughout the whole thing, I'll definitely be listening to it and having it in my playlist.

a remix for juicy? OMG finally something for juicy!!

My fav song is hot stuff... Im excited for that! also teaser... Hopefully this stays the same...

But... Im not a fan of remixes... So we shall see :)

I hope thats not the official track listing.. it seems kinda weak!

...

^ahahah.

Yes, I love Kumi's remix albums. Probably second only to Ayu's. So I'm really looking forward to this! I wouldn't be surprised if some other best album happened in the summer too :laugh

@Alucard from Hellsing: here it is~

I don't mind a HQ mp3 version of the epic Dejavu Tour tbh. :luv2
