OMG she looks so fabulous, I want the PV now T___T

the breasts on the girl to the left of kuu are almost insultingly large. o_o oh dearie me my.

first kuu's second cover album and now ayu's new studio album... february should be spectacular~*

Ah, this cover is shaping up to be amazing! I swear when Kuu covers a song she's like "Oh, this song you made? Yeah, its good. But, I made it better".

cause no one was gonna be lookin at her face~


need stuff nao. chop chop koda. I really love how she's handled her covers. Proud of her really.

i hope its the case that kumi ****s on the original songs with her cover album (just like angela aki). she has a hot musky voice and i think she can do it.

i know she has another cover album (eternity and love songs?) but me and kumi ballads are fierce enemies most of the time.

There are dance songs on there, too. Plus, I think some of my favorite ballads of hers are on there. Ienai yo, Chiisa something something in Japanese, that song by her sister about Cinderella and that song about butterflies and love songs are really great! Also, I'm horrible with titles :P

honestly, as much as I appreciated her arrangements, I really only liked Megumi no Hito and BE MY BABY.

Megumi no Hito has the best dance ever.

She looks so amazing :heart Hopefully the PV will be released soon.

need mroe news on this cover album already!

Pink Spider PV will be awesome♥

Glad Kuu's hair is back to long!

added her newest live at cdtv +music for all pics here http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116158

Hey everyone..I lost my computer..well everything on it. I was wondering if someone could upload the past playroom pixs. Like her and kenjis rings..her with that good luck charm by her belly.. And maybe fever live in hall 2 promo pics??

Also any go to the top pics you can find.. It would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

omg kuu stop being so fabulous, you're giving me a complex ;;

V.I.P. :heart

^I feel you, bra! Can't wait to see it :D

It's weird that the last year's festival had a live broadcast by Sky Perfect and the company is still the festival's partner, but I don't think they broadcasted this time.

I don't want a digest, I want the full thing :(

omg she looks so different in a good way
I love Kuu :luv2

she's so hot with long hair, I want the full thing so bad :(

^
your avi is soooo cute, do you have the full picture *_*

but I am guessing it is one the those small ones from her blog anyway it looks adorable

so excited for the live stream and the full of that live, also interested to see when they air.............too many good acts to for any TV station not to air

edit: on JPC they said it will air on Feb.10...................yikes long wait....maybe sooner who knows

and finally merry kurisumasu AHS kuuters <3:xmas:xmas:xmas

guys, what are your fav Kuu x-mas songs? & clips?
mine are you & stay with me :)
I just had to watch/listen to something this x-mas, so I just watched Kuu FANTASIA this morning and then had some retro-flashback into good old jpop :)

mine is Winter Bell


and I guess for ballads Stay With Me

I wish Kuu did a more focused X'mas themed single kinda like Namie's White Light or if she had X'mas chimes version on her new single , lool

but I have a bad memory so curious to see other people choices,since I skip over stuff easily

Mine is Winter Bell too and I agree, she really needs a more Xmas themed song....surprised she hasn't one already.

Cool avatar maze!!

My favorite winter ballad by Kuu is probably you; even if it's a little sad lol it's very pretty.

6 AM? Ughhhh.

Yume no uta
ai no uta (urban kiss version)

Those are the winter songs I like from her.

Tell me about it!! .....

My,husband got me gifts for Christmas!!! Kumis shopping bag from.premium night, the dejavu cd+2dvd... Got it off amazon, opened it... It was first press with calender!! Best present ever

The show starts in 5 minutes!

there is a CM for the 2013 tour, no wonder why it sold out so fast

new date added to the KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2013, april 7th

kuu's performance @ MUSIC FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE will be broadcasted on february 10th
can't wait!!

Wow.. They are keeping the camera on kuu nonstop haha. No shots of audience at all. Kinda,wierd all her other shows pan out,lol :) so glad i woke up at 4am for this!

^ Yeah, maybe thats cause they didnt have time to edit it properly... They barely show her legs lol

Started watching it on Promise and it's been amazing so far. So glad she sang 1000 no kotoba <3 and she looks sooooo damn gorgeous in that silver dress and she just ripped it lol

Editings getting worse haha.. I dont really mind :) how often do they stream preformances forbthe whole world? :)!!! We will get the full thing soon haha

Its kinda like a wowow thing.. Cutting show piecing it together

Oh, I wanted to see All for you soooo bad, now I'll have to wait for the DVD hahahahaha

I was expecting less angles than that, so it was great after all XD

Can't wait to see an official footage, maybe WOWOW will broadcast next year when the cover album comes out.

the concert was okaysome outfits was nice :Di liked it

^^I don't think there will be another broadcasting tbh, it might be released at the same time of the cover album. they are using the birthday live anyway, so it's enough time for them to edit and release it at the time the cover album is released

the outfit for Someday was so sexy and summer-y. I love it :heart

Concert was nice! Also now that Koishikute is released I really want info on the cover album! I think they will include Premium Night as the 2nd DVD and will also release a CD+Blu-Ray version as both Ayu and Moumoon's new albums have a blu-ray version.

It seems she debuted with less than 12 200 K

bad but not that bad since idk I feel like it could have higher sales throughout the week like her last single

so far, she is doing really well !

I missed the concert..................I fell asleep right before it started :(

SOLD OUT !!!

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news2/2012/12/sold-out.html

too bad koishikute didn't sell well! even though she did good promo for it!
damn, Kuu deserves more!

of course tour is sould out! I hope she gets enough money from the tour, I'm worried about her not selling singles well :(

^ I dont she ever got much money from her physical sales, usually artists get more money from adds and tours

It's high time we got some concret info on the cover album. At least its title and the release date woud be enough, I wanna know how much money I can spend on January!

why? she was never a great single seller, and two or three TV lives are not "good" promo if you ask me, kouhaku would have been GREAT promo, and a good tie-in of course

Go to the top had total eclipse and live version which actually helped a lot, you need to be glad koishikute is doing good digitally ^^ cause a song just shows its popularity from digital sales. you don't see casual fans buying physical singles nowadays

Did someone recorded the whole concert? I was going to but my internet was so ****** that I had to watch the whole thing on low quality. :(

Premium Live Digest from MTV81 (Ai no Kotoba / Crazy 4 U / Go to the top / Koishikute) http://www.mtv81.com/videos/live-per...mi-love-songs/

nice digest :yes

They aired Premium Night when I had decided not to spend my day on computer? I hate my bad luck. It would have been awesome to see this concert omg. Nobody has recorded it either, it seems. Oh well, gotta wait for the DVD Rip then. The digest looked as awesome as I expected from the Queen of Live♥

@maze where is your avatar from??

I love the Crazy 4 U outfit. She sounds amazing btw. Well she always does, that's why she's the Koddess :luv2

Nice digest :D I didn't see the broadcast but I am happy to wait for the DVD birthday live, I want to see it for the first time with the final version. :D

Glad to see Koishikute is doing well digitally! That's where most of Kuu's market is at nowadays ^^
I really wish I could just buy all my JPOP from Itunes as well, but you can't buy JPOP unless you have a Japanese Itunes account...Has anyone else done this? :/

Kumi recorded a new music video today! (thanks for the info Negi@JPC)

I'm wondering if it's for the cover project since one song is confirmed that will have a PV, maybe there will be more included.

Guessing Koishikute isn't selling as well as it should've because of the delayed release date, hope digital sales stay strong in the long-run :D
Not surprised tour is sold out :P And I want more info on the cover album too!!

Can I dream of a cover album with PVs for all tracks? :smitten

A kuu-chan theard?? What?? I'm I dreaming?? And so many replies which is weird because many people hate kuu. As for the single of course is not gonna sale. They pulled it back when everyone was expecting it, just after go to the top!! According to oricon it debut on #5 and it moved up yesterday. I won't sweat it because its just a single!! :P

^
^If the new album is similar to ETERNITY with almost 8 ballads, no you don't! XD
I think this album will be more upbeat than ETERNITY, and not really about "love and songs".

I'm fine with 4 or 5 PVs IF they aren't like BE MY BABY / Megumi no Hito (they're good, but blah... I need something more than just one outfit and a weird cross)

@calltome: there's just love for Kuu in this thread ♥

I also think it wont be full of ballads, tho I love them hahahaha :P Probably these PVs will be similar to JAPONESQUE ones, with basically two scenarios ad no plot, with a big exception for Pink Spider. As long as they're not full of cheap CG, I'm fine.

Ahh, looking forward to hearing more previews from the cover album, and seeing the cover. :D I have adored both previews so far. :love

I think it might be for her next single, I still think this cover album is so totally random especially since she is releasing singles like I feel this will be a short promo for it and she will announce a new single right after and then another album later in the year

tho if it is for the cover album, I hope it is a ballad because I love Kuu's cover of older hit ballads and a nice pv would go great with it

plus Japan loves Kuu ballads and this would be better promo for her cover album since pink spider project is great

but to most people I think hearing and knowing the original would think she butchered the song and ppl get sensitive when it comes to hide work since he is dead but still very much alive when it comes to his massive fanbase

ETERNITY was also released among singles, right after Suki de and before POP DIVA :P

It's kinda interesting to wonder when she will release her next Studio Album...Since it won't be the usual January-March date. I think a Summer album or an album near Christmas would be really cool. :D Even though I would hate to wait til next Christmas since I am very much looking forward to her next studio album! :laugh

then it made sense cuz it was 10th anniv and all

....13th anniv. is so random

^13th is quite random....But you know, Kuu, she'll take any excuse to release something awesome. :D

Kuu herself is random :laugh

I think she'll hold that album till late December, like Black Cherry. A summer album would put a summer single out of the spotlight, it doesnt seem to be something Kuu would do, but I'd love her to stop playing safe with those seasonal singles

so if i try to think about her future plans...

-2nd Cover Album...
release should be february 13th, 20th or 27th...
(ayu takes the first week for a release...)
i think the reason why we get this, is just to put out an album, like her contract says and she still can do the JAPONESQUE Tour!
i made a joke about that Ayu's album could be titled "LOVE again" (even my playlist had this title before the announcement! :laugh ), so i maybe foreshadowing her cover album will be named "Premium Night -Love & Songs-...
when i first saw the promo pix+Name and later the theme of the concerts i always thought of ETERNITY -Love & Songs- just with some champagne/dinner/elegant party theme...
so i eat bananas if i'm right again! lol

-55th Single "TBA"
well i think we get a single in march, just because the fiscal year ends and avex wanna have them sales and stats...
and it's in her usual 2-3 month release cycle!
(and i want her to sing it on the live tour when i'm there!)

-Premium Night -Love & Songs- LIVE DVD
i think this could be the 2nd. DVD on her 2nd cover album...
BUT i think this will be a seperate release in march for the money!

-11th Studio Album
so a spring/early summer album with maybe a limited single could be the case or like Gustavopc said, fall/winter album!

YES!
if you have to describe her with just one word it would be definitively "random"!!

and yeah that 13th anni. thing made me laugh, i mean did her hormones went cray cray since the baby popped out in a martini glass baby bed or what happened!?

BUT thats why i love Kuu!
Always expect the unexpected!

^ Oh, no, please, Premium Night is too weird for an album lol Give us Premium Something, but not Night pls hahahahaha

^I thought the cover album was going to be released on the 8th or at the beginning of Feb, too? Or have I made that up in my head :laugh

I wonder what Kuu will do for her 55th single, I can't wait. :D

I hope the cover album will have an awesome cover and title!

^ 55th single? A maxi single with 5 songs and 5 PVs would be amazing for me :innocent

^That would be amazeballs. :D I'm actually looking forward to Kuu's next ballad, I hope it's awesome :3

@Gustavopc: A single can't have 5 original songs (except when the last one is a bonus track) / 5 PVs, the release would be considered as a mini-album XD Maybe a short movie with all 5 songs together works lol.

I just hope the new cover album get the #1 weekly, so avex won't be so desperate to release another album any soon lol The best time imo is december, like she did with Black Cherry.

About the album's name, I think it'll be like ETERNITY 2 ~Bounce & Music~ or something next to this lol It's hard to tell since, you know, we have random name's compilations like second session and third universe.

Kumi is like Mariah Carey, she likes any reason to do festive things. lol

another fan-cam :O --> http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDc1MzEyODA0.html Universe <3

her birthday is on the 13th, therefore her anniversary should be ~fabulous~ #gimmemore

hahah but that ayu love again crap was totally expected, kumi isn't predictable, like you guys said she's totally random. I don't think she'll come up with an awkward title like that for a cover album, I mean "premium night" fits a concert only.

I just hope she keeps the ETERNITY word, like she does with the first/second/third thing for her BESTs and Driving Hit's for her remix album series. my guess is ETERNITY ~Rhythm and Soul~ or smth like that since this album seems to be oriented to dancey music (or at least I hope so, the first eternity was ballad overload -_-)

also, no one said this new cover album is some kind of anniversary celebration, she just needs one to promote the next tour (idk why with a cover album tho, maybe she felt like it's not the right time for a new studio album?). A friend of a friend of mine who was in one of the premium night shows told us Kuu said the 2013 tour will be focused on the new album, but she will still perform some songs from JAPONESQUE ):
