Does nobody seriously love HUSH here??? I think it’s one of her best songs ever, and I say that with confidence in being a severely critical person and the song still invoking a fresh feeling of excitement in me despite being months old.

I’m curious as to what others opinion on the track is, what specific parts in the song ignite a fire in you (good or bad), and how you stack the track up against other hits of hers.

2 companies names are listed in the DNA thank you credits CD sleeves

- Cappellini
- Tecno Design Tokyo

They have some very interesting furniture pieces available for sale which I guess some of them are used as props in the DNA shooting

I didn't see their names in the AND thank you credits CD sleeves though

Don't know if it was mentioned before but it's her first ever 13 tracks studio album.


Is this the first time DNA was acknowledged as her 16th studio album? Cause on FC site & avex website it just says 2nd album of 2018.

Oh dear looks like I have to re edit my album tags cos I count W FACE inside & outside as Kuu's joint 13th album while I count AND as her 14th :s

And if I have infinite amount of $ , I no doubt will buy all versions of DNA solely for the covers

tenshi no hane 25th August 2018 07:45 AM

I finally gave DNA a listen. It's definitely catchy, I like it a lot better than AND.

It's just a pity I'm getting more and more allergic to her "let's butcher the English language" lyrics. Just get someone to check them ugh. 逢えなくなるくらいなら was a breath of fresh air in terms of proper lyrics. /end rant

Another TV performance!
Kuu is going to be at Music Fair September 1st!

It's an avex special with Kuu, TRF and The Rampage from EXILE Tribe.

Preview is already up on Fuji TV:

I f*** love it, Hush is literally one of the most condensed songs she’s done in a whiiile. My favorite part is when she says “Genjitsu ni tachimukau, oh”(2:52 I think) and you can hear the sound of actual fire lighting up. I get chills every time I hear it.

KarenPang 25th August 2018 01:10 PM

HUSH is definitely the best single out of the 3 limited singles Kuu put out , it's a shame that the PV didn't elevate things :s

Also Kuu's AbemaTV's bpm performance of HUSH could have been better but it was nonetheless a commendable effort

thinkingoutloud89 25th August 2018 01:15 PM

HUSH is one of the best songs of this era, yes - but not that outstanding

lovethatkuu&ayu 25th August 2018 02:44 PM

Another live? Music Fair? Yes! I love when 3 separate generations of artists are paired together. An iconic 90s band (TRF), and iconic soloist (Kumi) and an up and coming LDH group. It should be a very good show.

Out of the 2017 singles, HUSH was definitely the strongest. LIT is pretty good in hindsight, but HUSH is a legit banger of a track. Love the production and the video is underrated. A shame it wasn't given a tie in to help it gain exposure.

YouTube update. The PV for LIT just passed 1 million viewers yesterday evening. HUSH and PARTY are at over 550k each and Haircut is at over 270k.

Fonally could listen to DNA xD
But I have to say, I prefer AND^^

Teppei-chan 25th August 2018 06:38 PM

Love both AND and DNA but I can't say which one is better. For DNA I even started to like HAIRCUT a little bit more :D

~angel*ayumi~ 25th August 2018 07:05 PM

I didn't like it at all when it was released as a single. I like it now for some reason as part of the album. It's the song that gets stuck in my head the most out of all the tracks. I really like the verses. And my favorite part is "bring it on bitch" lol. And I just recently noticed her saying "hush" in the song! I like that effect a lot.

A lot of my opinions change with time as it did with this song but I still prefer her dance tracks to hush.

She's also singing BOY MEETS GIRL, a TRF song. ♥ Can't wait 'till next week!

I wonder if we're ever gonna see her '04 performance, and also '06 with the iconic, yet never performed again as a regular song, JUICY.

oaristos 25th August 2018 10:58 PM

I just finished listening to DNA for the first time and I didn't really like it. It doesn't matter how little I expect from her releases, I feel like they all deserve a listen since I've been a fan of Kumi for so long now...

Even though DNA is not really my cup of tea as a whole, it totally reminded me how good HUSH is—this song is definitely going to be in one of my playlists from now on. Also, Guess Who Is Back is pretty awesome too. I can't resist any time she does anything rockish :tipsy

KarenPang 26th August 2018 04:34 AM

Because today is super hot in Tokyo , a-nation has already released the estimated performances time for each artiste on today's last day of a-nation 2018

For Kuu's case , she's scheduled to perform onstage at around 5.35pm Japan time

https://a-nation.net/news.php?id=1064839

Chibi-Chan 26th August 2018 04:46 AM

^it's so hot I'm literally melting. I bought an Ayu t-shirt but since it's so hot one would see every sweat stain immediately and I decided to keep wearing my black shirt instead.

pedronekoi 26th August 2018 04:49 AM

I'm glad they released the timetable because I was thinking on going around 14h but its suuuuper insanely hot! So I'll go around her time. Can't wait to see her live for the first time after so many years being a fan <3

KarenPang 26th August 2018 04:51 AM

Yeah I saw on my phone that Tokyo is currently what 35 degree celsius ?! , @_@ @_@ @_@

Stay hydrated you guys and also hope you 2 have fun later on in the last a-nation 2018 too :)
