Is it safe to assume that the walk PV that will appear on the Dejavu DVD is the same as the Suki de, Suki de, Suki de./Anata Dake ga single walk ~to the future~ PV?

Yes, the PV for walk will be on the DVD.

who knows, she likes to do "album versions" of stuff. Maybe we'll get a different version. Off the top of my mind, the last "album version" pv we got was that ain't cool.

I dont think she'd change it...considering they're connected...right?


Anyway, finally gonna watch Fantasia after this file finishes omg. Was waiting forever for another version to come out...this one isn't THAT much better...but meh.

I have a feeling we'll be reaching the 200th thread this year...and soon xDD I'm really looking forward to Dejavu! The tracklist sounds promising (although why is she using the title Introduction again!? Or is that just a temporary name placement?)

Can artists technically have 2 songs with the same title? maybe it'll be called "Introduction for Dejavu" or something.

I'm off for a week, even though it's 1,5 month till the album I'll be feeling like I'm missing something that may show up :3 I want the PVs!

I think the week after POP DIVA, we get some previews on her site with the Dejavu cover as Background!!

WoW we know so many songs before the album will come out!!
AT THE WEEK END from the demo
and Bambi(01.25), Melting & Aitakute (01.27) as Live Performances next week!!

So guys what do u think the new PV-Songs will be!?
i think Bambi will be some cutesy midtempo song like anytime! <3
and Passing By could be a rock song!
they'll change it by the chance of 100%!
when a new album is announced they always call the Intro "Introduction"... xD

I think so lol I mean, Madonna has 2 songs called Forbidden Love and they are totally different

I'm expecting the same! since we had two hot songs for now (pop diva, lollipop) and it's been a while since she promoted a cutesy song and a rock song (the last ones were superstar from Universe and... hurry up from Trick??) She needs a good rock song to do it live, 'cause her rockish performances are always the best!! (ningio-hime, freaky, can we go back, hurry up) :D
Even I wish Bambi to be another kind of song since the titles of the tracks seems to be a bit cute all! I don't want a cutesy album, but oh well, last year with superstar was a nice surprise, it's a perfect song!! :yes

I think I'm ripping and converting Kingdom and TRICK PV's into iPod format.. it'll take time tho because of my crappy internet †

OMG YES. :yes

I made a new wallpaper: :P

Gorgeous wallpaper, kaled!! :heart

isnt can we go back THE latest rock song? lol

hahahah lol true xD

OMG That Rock'n'Roll Circus wallpaper is awesome! Thanks!

oh wait...lmao :P

It's the latest REAL rock song imo, but Work It Out! and Outside Fishbowl are rockish songs, too aren't they?

^since when is can we go back a rock song?
*goes to listen* hm..I guess it is. I remember it being more poppy. Maybe I'm thinking of Kelly's version.

YOU ROOOCK

OMG. :heart

I wish you had a 1920x1080 one, these are too small. :c But still, it's awesome.

YESYESYES.

lol, Can We Go Back is a rock song. :D Or something like pop rock. Oh well, it's a amazing song.

And thanks for the new wallpaper. I saved all four versions so I can figure out which one's the best for my laptop. ^.^

And yes, I should be going to sleep lol. ->

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY new album!!

I love love love loveeeeeeeee the covers, even though its a widely used theme this looks really creative <3 And she looks so gorgeous! She should've stole Ayu's union jack hat to complete her outfit lol

brb dying

Can anyone help me with Koda Gumi lottery thing?
How the hell it works?
thanks!

I wonder when her site will change so we can get better shots of the covers.

Probably not until after POP DIVA comes out.

I forget that the album's not coming out until March lol

thanks for the wallie kaled. it's amazing!!

I dont think it was posted before..

^thanks so much, I was waiting for it~

I don't like the covers because of the placement of the random items and the weird font. The layering just looks amateurish to me.
I am pretty excited for the new album though since the previews sound cool but I still can't stand Pop Diva. I hope no other songs on the album have the same style.
I hope Bambi isn't a ballad lol. That would just be too predictable.

It might be, and probably is a super cute pop song lol

Oh god, I hate her cutesy songs so much that I erase their existence from my mind and forgot that she releases them. I want her to do something unexpected with a song name like that like Ayu did with Love song.

Oh yes please! :yes

Thanks for the wallpaper, kaled!
Time to change Pop Diva into Dejavu! :D

I was actually thinking she might pull something weird like that...but I think there are other songs in the tracklist she could also do that with lol so I dont know.

I really have no idea what to expect for the album.

She never included that little single songs on the new album. I mean, just 4 and 10 new songs! She normally had about 6-7 new songs, sometimes even less.
But I guess we can expect the same mix of songs like in her previous albums, dance and cutie songs as well as a "rock" song and some ballads.
I don't know maybe she is also doing something new in her 11th year, like she said she want (and shes already doing with another hall tour). It's hard to tell!

I hope Bambi is cutesy. I want some new cutesy songs from her. I loved SUPERSTAR so much :3

I don't really care for her cutesy songs. I'm hoping for songs in different/new styles :D

↓

Let's wait and see what Kuu means with that. XD

if there's a song somewhere in Dejavu where there's exotic sounds which you can hear if you're vacationing in a country like Brazil , that will be amazing *__*

Didn't see those posted:

Thanks to Hikki-kun at JPM

Gorgeous! :heart I'm stealing the 1680x1050 one too, thanks! :P

:laugh That's how I feel about her cutesy stuff. They grow on me eventually, but for the most part I just politely ignore them.

I think it'd be pretty cool if Kuu started off her 11th year and new album with more "risks" in terms of what we expect from her VS what she delivers. I think she's settled enough in her career where she can not only justify but succeed in doing that. Perhaps I'm only speaking wishfully, though. /shrug I just feel like she's able to pull it off now. She seems to have not only that confidence but that desire, if her interview in the Brazil photobook is any indication.

I haven't listened to POP DIVA yet, because I'm waiting for the single to drop properly, but I just hope I like it better than Lollipop. Gah.

So who all is thinking of going to the tour??

I'll die when it happens.

Gubsi (and his friend), Corvina & me are planning to go on June 11th
Gonna try to enter the lottery :)

me too! :O can you tell me about the lottery? I haven't signed up with koda gumi yet but I plan on doing it shortly.

Thank you guys ♥
@RikkuChii I don't have :( this size is too big for this picture


About Bambi, the song could be like Puppy! I love Puppy, is sexy and cute at the same time :)

@ayumiSEASON: Well, it is mentioned on the website, that you can only participate on the lottery when you already became a member before Jan 10th 2011

Ohh >< guess I'll have to get them another way. I'm thinking of using a middleman or printing them at 7/11

maybe you can try to buy it on yahoo action too..

wtf with the pop diva pv????? I'm getting anxious! Even no announcement from any tv?
And what abaout live performances... is confirmed to do any promotion for this single? This single will sell like 35k, no promotion, no pv til last week, it's also very close to the new album...

Anyone knows anything about digital charts? I remember the first week was like #5, but nothing more!

^ We have, until now, 4 lives (Music Station, Music Japan, Happy Music and Melodix) I guess. And the 'Panasonic 3D Music Studio' to promove, not 'POP DIVA' but still helping.

I already seen other artistes's PVs who will be releasing singles on 2nd Feb , just like Kumi

I guess at most the short or full version of POP DIVA's PV wouldn't surface until this coming week ? :x

I still can't believe that it will be released in 2 Wed's time D:

It's really annoying the PV isn't out yet... They usually don't make us wait like this.

I was hoping that the PV had been released already damn it. I saw someone have a HQ gif of the PV so I was kinda in a "Yey" state or something because of that. >.> Come on avex, don't waste your time, you know there's lots of impatient fans out there D:

that's what I'm hoping for too. I like when she tries different styles (Once Again, Puppy, Aishou, Outside Fishbowl). imo UNIVERSE was VERY same old same old. lots of tracks were like pt 2 of songs on her other albums but just not as good. Eternity had some different styles and I really liked them. :yes I think Black Cherry is her best album as far as variety goes. I hope Dejavu has a lot of variety too.

I wonder if they're waiting until it's closer to both of the release dates so they can use it to promo the album as well.

But question, I haven't been with it with the Kumi PV premieres, is AVEX an ******* with her PVs like with Ayu's PVs and only show 2 minutes?

we (me+lee^chan+corvina+a friend of mine) go on 11th june!!
we want 4 tickets, so lets see how the lottery thing works!? x'D
hope we get them!!

why so impatient, people? I rather wait for the DVDRIP to watch the POP DIVA PV, they have better quality than the TV versions :p

thanks for answering, Schatz :laugh
Sorry Genie for the late reply (just replied on ur FB)

Hope we can get the FC ticket!

Bambi is probably a KAWAII**** song, i hope another SUPERSTAR or GOOD DAY song!!!
i hate the cute songs like JOYFUL, it was horrible and boring

sameeee!

If it is a cutesy song I hope its like the ones you mentioned :)

Melting sounds like the album's super cutesy track, and it's pretty good in my opinion!

OMG... o.O Dejavu cover is her best album cover ever!! even better than "Best ~third universe~"

perfect!

songs like Good Day and Joyful are okay to me, but no thanks to anything like SUPERSTAR ever again (song + PV wise :tired)

:thud

Could you possibly make a 1280 x 800? I LOVE this!!!

Looove these album covers. Love the theme. Screw you AIW haters. It's been around for a LONG TIME and it's not going away anytime soon. It's not all because of a movie they just did... :rolleyes I love the references.

imitation is a form of flattery so whoever said who copy who , put a sock in it ~_~

really man , where's the PV (preview) for POP DIVA ? I want to see it now bad :dead2

*pokes in*

Still no PV to be found? Hmph...

*pokes out*

I think most people just hate the movie and how it's become trendy...not really the story alice in wonderland. At least, that's how our conversation here went.

AIW has been my favorite story of all time since I was in like 3rd grade and I read the books.

The single is coming out in two weeks? I think they're doing the same thing they did with Ayu's L, no?

In any case, they KNOW it's being wanted now lol

Every album by Kuu at least has one or two supercutesy songs that I want to murder. Comes Up, Superstar, Joyful, Wonderland...

But that's fine, since the rest of the album is so awesome. As long as she delivers on the rest, I don't care what sugary crap she throws in there : P

Hiro! :heart

Hiro! :love Seriously, everything he has done has become my favorite stuff from Kuu. <3

Another pic of the Panasonic live:

It starts tomorrow! :woohoo:

Hiro??? :heart
he composed UNIVERSE, TABOO, CWGB, Amai Wana :heart

From the title.. Aitakute is obviously gonna be a ballad song (please be another "you", "hands" or "Unmei")

^I kinda hope Aitakute will be a ballad because I'm a huge fan of Kuu ballads. They tear me up every time for a good reason; I can relate to them the best. <3

@taskinillusion: Here 1280x800 :)

HIRO composed great songs, but he composed Your Love too... I don't like Your Love :(

Yeah, but that's the only song I personally don't like from him, everything else is great!
Like Flo said, Amai Wana, Taboo and Universe! :heart

I love her cutesy song but Joyful is an exception. it's terrible brrrr omg.

Happy for Hiro included in the album, he made good songs.

her cute songs are extreme to me... most are pretty nice to listen to though! But songs like JOYFUL... *shivers*

I hope we have a song from Daisuke too, I love all his songs. ♥
I'm curious about 'I Don't Love You!??' to me don't sounds like a ballad.

@Kaled & Corvina: that's why I didn't mention Your Love :laugh It's a bland so-so song :shrug

@Kaled: "I Don't Love You!??" <-- the title reminds me of "This is not a love song"

So much hate for Joyful :(

I like Joyful :(

I like Joyful though xD

I think I'm 1 of the rarity that generally likes her cutesy songs . I know Superstar generated a lot of hate but eh I like it & the PV's so fun/cheery

the director should have gotten a much hotter guy to play Kumi's boyfriend in the Superstar PV :p
