I'm just gonna wait for my CD to come in, I want surprises <3
but I did sneak in a 30 second preview of Bling Bling Bling >.> It's really good XD

OMG I HATE Bling Bling Bling!! It's so terrible - I had high hopes that it would be a nice urban Kumi song but this is just all over the place and sounds too much like Fergie's London Bridge which I think is one of the worst songs in history. Lol. I despise it and it makes me hate Bling Bling Bling all the more.

i don't like the scawaii pictures at all. the only one i like is the one where she's wearing pink shorts.

bling bling bling is amazing tbh. i love it! i think it's my favorite track that we've heard so far. :innocent

O___________________O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But so few dates. @.@

^ Chuong @ JPM said it's going to be an arena tour, and it's going to more places than ~Kingdom~ Tour... :love

--------------------------

Don't know if this was posted... :innocent

The official Xmini cm was added to this site:

http://www.sonyericsson.co.jp/produc...ini/index.html

I uploaded to youtube:



Also, the full making-of:

Wow, so more dates will be added?
Or are those dates in the list the only final ones? (Well, excluding maybe 1-2 additional dates like the Black Cherry 1st of june gig).

The CM is kinda creepy for a lovely song like stay with me...
thx for the post

More places, like more cities, that's what I meant... And, that's the full list of dates... :yes

Ah, okay. I'm not that familiar with the places of her old tours.

Yep. Ugh.

Driving is the best song yet.

I'm very sad now, because now, I really do believe the album will flop.

But...i don't know, we'll see what happens I guess.

I hope the tour is better than Kingdom though...I fell asleep with her huge "Dedicated to ballads only" half of the concert.

^ Yeah I was thinking that this album was gonna be the best ever after hearing Driving but now I'm pretty sad. Lol. Still love Driving though!

I'll be in Japan during the summer, maybe I'll see a Koda concert, since the dates coincide perfectly with my time there, but I don't know. I'm not that big of a fan of hers.

Here's a better quality pic of the February cover of Scawaii:

thanks a lot Kris :D

such a shame some people don't like bling bling bling. i think it'll be the best song on the album :heart

bling bling bling has already leaked?! I'll wait till the album comes out

agree with you..
i feel like dying after I heard Bling Bling Bling... :thud

Bling Bling Bling almost made me commit suicide.

thanks for the pics milky

they're only a-ok to me & woah at the outfit when she wore pink shorts :O

well I only find Blingx3 a-ok although I felt it sounded like a Fergie's London Bridge rip off

Joyful's OK also

that & also Joyful too

dude who makes those leggings?

the pinks shorts one is awesome^^

O KKKKKK...When Kuu said Urban HipHop she reallymeant it...it's really not my style. Is that even a song???...

after hearing Bling i feel so weird to hear her singing in Joyful O.O...lol..Joyful is nice. Reminiscent of WIND and all that....but it's still nice on its own.

Driving/show girl >>> Joyful >>>>> Your Love >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bling*3
that's how it is so far...(sadly)

I really wanna hear This is not a love song and Hurry Up!

what does kuu say in joyful's chorus? "joyful greeeeee"? :laugh in english, i think it'd be "joyful greeting"? :laugh

btw, i agree that bling bling bling is very weird compared to the other leaked songs, but for me, it's just so catchy and fun, so i don't think it's THAT bad.

I'm curious to hear how JUST THE WAY YOU ARE will sound in due time . I hope it wouldn't sound stupid especially since this's the 2nd song to get a PV in TRICK , album track that's

KUMI WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! "Bling Bling Bling" is STUPID STUPID STUPID.

UGH.

"Joyful" is just recycled stuff... :/ Nothing to really remember. "LA LA LA LA LA~~!! JOYFUL GREEEE!" WTF.

BRING BRING BRING!

Anyways, Kumi was featured in the North American manga magazine "Shojo Beat." They're doing their fourth annual music awards.

Picture from the article she's in is under the spoiler.

^ oh that's cool thanks , who else were featured in the magazine ? I saw ayumi , OLIVIA , an cafe & BACK-ON pics on there

so for stay with me , is it considered her 6th #1 single ? :shrug

A lot of people! I'm going to be posting all the stuff about Ayumi in a day or so. :)

The others included Kanon Wakeshima, Dir en Grey, girugamesh, Miyavi, Namie Amuro, Anna Tsuchiya, Boris, Love Psychedelico, YUKI, Kylee, SpecialThanks, AURAL VAMPIRE, HIMAWARI, and WAGDAG FUTURSITIC UNITY.

Well, if "stay with me" went number one then... yes? *hasn't been paying attention to sales*

i actually like BLING BLING BLING.. I was like O_O


&


Joyful is <3

All these mix reviews makes me want to go listen to it.... I'm just hoping I won't regret it xD;

omg, i freaking love bling bling bling! best koda song in like...forever!!!

<3 <3 <3

Well I heard part of it, I couldn't stop laughing to hear the rest lol

oh cool thanks for that & still not sure about stay with me's stats

LOL :laugh

I still think Blingx3 sounds like a rip off of Fergie's London Bridge but I actually prefer it to London Bridge as I couldn't stand LB the 1st time I heard it

Joyful's a-ok , kinda reminded me of her other happy go lucky songs like WIND , girls but what separates Joyful from the rest's the guitar backing in the melody

BBB has been stuck in my head all day & i love it
now i really wan't to hear Hurry Up!

oh i agree it sounds like london bridge a bit but like a billion times better and more catchy

:yes

London Bridge's just tacky , be it lyrics or video wise

I only started to like Fergie solo stuff after she put out Glamorous . Wasn't really a big fan of her 1st 2 singles

anyway , now's to wait for the other 7 songs to be out & we're done & oh yes exactly 3 more weeks before TRICK haha

Bling Bling Bling is CRAZY. I think I love it. :laugh

Forget hearing JUST THE WAY YOU ARE or Ai No Kotoba

GIVE ME THIS IS NOT A LOVE SONG NAO

Can someone show me the post with the previews? I just searched the entire thread and can't find any of the previews you guys are talking about. :(

I think some are on her official site... you can also find some radio rips in the asian music download section.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN BLING BLING BLING D: D: D: D: ! At first I didn't believe it when you guys thought it sounded like London Bridge before I downloaded it but now I cannot agree more D: I kinda like Joyful though lol.

2009 年 01 月 12 日 付 weekly chart

1 ｓｔａｙ　ｗｉｔｈ　ｍｅ 倖田來未 58108

awesome so it's true that stay with me's #1 now after all :D

yay for Kuu's #1 spot. She deserves that. <3

I become really annoyed when I read your posts of those leaked songs on TRICK (I almost said Kingdom o.O) and I feel like I can't make til 28th to listen to those songs. ;__;

And Joyful Joyfu La La LaLa I Love It :heart

powwo Don't worry The is leake but very low quality

But kingdom Leak HQ

and it's radio rip so it realese on radio ?

yep Twinkle :yes

also, show girl is listed on Space Shower, no date tho

http://www.spaceshowertv.com/search/...u=0071486&ch=0

thanks for the pics :shughug

she looks really pretty in the 3rd and 5th pic

show girl is probably gonna air REALLY soon! i'm excited :D

I uploaded better rips of Blingx3 and Joyful:

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84748

thanks a lot , the quality of the files that you have uploaded are better & clearer :yes

Damn you, you put some links for downloading. I'm gonna die. ;D I gotta make it til 28th since I decided to do so at once when I heard Driving and show girl previews. It's much better to wait and then enjoy of an album that I have waited for weeks. I did this with Kingdom last year and it worked. :p

*hears the
gosh I still can't stand Bling Bling Bling...its like...a nightmare for me.. >.<"
sry Kuu..
(and i tot That Ain't Cool was bad...at least she sang in it..)

Joyful is still rather bland....but it doesnt give me headaches...



OK SO...is show girl airing soon?!?! yay!

Bling Bling Bling is wtf.

WTF. Xd Is it me or is it the same bg instrumental looped for 4 minutes?

Please don't do that song live, Kuu...

GD NEWS i love BLINGx3

And Exicted 4 show girl

and the song isn't leak she realese in radio and it's too low quality Kuu is smart She want make them Exicted !

good move kuu nice markting too ;)

BTW does anyone else hear Kumi say COMATOSE at 3:14 of Driving in an Engrish accent? o_O

love Joyful

don't like Bling^3 ! not at all. :no

so two songs I'll skip on this album: tac and bling^3

I Think u will love it in 320kpbs

ohh higher quality. now i will totally overplay them :heart

This is stupid, but I'm going to try them again... I can never resist the allure of higher quality x_x

^

There's no 320 kbps yet. D:

I knew I was stupid, I STILL hate them =D

Ooooh Kuu why are you doing Kingdom Part 2 x_x

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAA!!!

"Bling Bling Bling" is quite possibly the funniest thing I've heard in YEARS!!! Oh god, thank you Kuu!!! :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh :laugh

I will not buy this album if not just for the reason that this song exists on it. >_< Who are you trying to fool, Kuu?

And I can't say that "Joyful" is much better. :headache These two songs along with "That ain't cool" completely ruined this album for me. There's not a chance that I'm buying it now, which is sad considering that I really was considering it. I think I'll go buy Kingdom instead. :P

I wonder if this album can still become better than Kingdom. As of right now, it can go both ways.

IMO:

TABOO = BUT
show girl < BUT
stay with me > Ai no Uta
Driving > Under
Bling Bling Bling < Anata Ga Shite Kureta Koto
That Ain't Cool < LAST ANGEL
Moon Crying > Aishou
Joyful > anytime

I found Kingdom to be lacking good ballads, so I guess that TRICK will be better in that department.

as long as there is no 'Wonderland' of the TRICK album, it will for sure be better than Kingdom

^Don't raise your voice against my precious Wonderland ;_;...

The only song I want to hear is "This is Not a Love Song" because it's the only interesting title, but I'm seriously doubting it'll be any good

bling bling bling is awesome, her voice sounds so cute when she says "all the money money money just make it lots of ca$h!"

joyful is what i expected to be, and i'm happy with that. the "joyful, joyful la-la-la-la" in the very beginning is adorable.

so far trick is AWESOME.

i don't understand how people can listen to Wonderland without wanting to strangle something :dead2

i feel like 'this is not a love song' will be like 'your love'
not really a good thing

I love Wonderland too. =p

^ Me three :D

^^

Why does she sing "JOYFUL GREEEEN" in Joyful? What is Joyful Green?

i love wonderland also!

lol is that what she's saying? the chorus always kicks in at the end so all i hear is GREEEEEEEEE

LONGER PREVIEW OF SHOW GIRL VIDEO!!!

http://video.msn.com/video.aspx/?mkt...&wa=wsignin1.0

U NEED TO WATCH IT IN INTERNET EXPLORER

omg..it reminds me of RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. I love it so much! :love:love i can't wait to see the full thing OMG

Maybe she's trying to say "joyful glee" but it comes out as "gree"? Because I highly doubt she's saying "green"...

I LOVE IT! Lol. Looks really entertaining. Can't wait for the full thing!

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKES BLING BLING BLING?
LOL.... =_________=

nope, i like it too! :laugh i can't just not like it, for some reason. :P it's just fun.

it's very fun and kind of ghetto. i like it a lot!

Same here, loves it!

i love her bad acting at the beginning of show girl <3

The first preview of the pv was so gross, but after seeing this one I like it a lot more. When she did that crying face at the start it was cute lol.

I hated Bling x3 at first but now I think it's cool. And I think Joyful is better than WIND.
I also thought that she was signing GREEN in the end of the Chorus. It's like Hello Ayu! lol

+1 Wonderland I LOVE this song. This is one of her best pop sugar songs.

I thought it was very funny. I want a gif of her turning towards the camera and suddenly making that face. :laugh

show girl PV is going to be amazing :heart

Don't tease us with tons of PV previews, avex!! We want the full thing!! :weep

woot! show girl PV is :luv2

show girl PV is sooo cute!!!!..

(still trying to get into BBB..maybe the part where she Sings is better lol)

the show girl PV is gonna be crazy! :cool i can't wait.

I haven't seen the preview yet & I don't plan to especially since sooner or later the full thing will be out :laugh

If anybody can't see the preview of show girl pv, I uploaded to youtube:



I love the pv, I want more... :mischief

^^OMG, that PV is :luv2!! It's so cute and funny. XD And I just love that song. Haha. And I think the bad acting was done on purpose. LOL

I LOVE YOUR ANIMATED SIG. XD That is just TOO perfect!!!

LuverOfLuv , thanks for uploading the preview of the show girl PV

Ahhh it's so cute!!! Omg I'm going to buy TRICK! For sure!

thanks Luverofluvvvv i couldnt see it on that other site :D

omg I WANT THE WHOLE THING!!!!!!! i really love her facial expressions :roflmao

I'm pumped up for the release of TRICK now , can't wait for the taiwan press to be out real soon as I don't think I will be waiting for Warner Music S'pore to produce it here locally

:roflmao

Show girl turned out to be better than I expected :O

The PV is cute... But the black outfit she wore was HOOOOT!!! :luv2

After listening to Bling Bling Bling again I kinda like it now :laugh
