Lee^ChaN 21st February 2009 11:40 AM

ah.. i don't expect any cuteness on it's all love pv.. too bad
and misono's voice is just terrible :dead2

anyway, TRICK is at #8 today

Twinkle ! 21st February 2009 12:17 PM

good she is in top 10 now

yeah misono voice isn't good but i love her vocals in her song "VS"

if Kuu success with her sister i hope they do it again :)

i'm in love with preview that make me to pre-ordered yesterday

Raleigh 21st February 2009 01:16 PM

I like the idea of a collab. Hope it's successful since it might mean they would release more collabs :D

I don't like her dress! >.< but her haircut is great

ALfromHELLSING 21st February 2009 02:35 PM

She looks great! Thnx GOD no short hair!

Lee^ChaN 21st February 2009 02:54 PM

her dress makes her looks weird.. especially in the stomach part
and KUMI stop singing jofyul! :no

Ah she looks so pretty <3

I really do hope they don't collab again after this. Once is okay, but twice would just kill it.

GLAY x EXILE had their own site for just one single collab they did so hopefully this doesn't mean there will be more...

waterballoon 21st February 2009 03:32 PM

So the 3A single contains...

faraway
It's all love
And a misono version of one of the songs (which one?)

Oh I feel so ripped off with the third 'A-side'. I don't exactly like this concept tbh... oh well.

yoshino 21st February 2009 03:41 PM

I wonder if her single with misono will sell well. hmmm...

Nice pv preview :D

No it's not the Tripel A-Side, this Single is just a Collaboration like WON'T BE LONG was!
Her real 43rd Single will be released later.

love in music 21st February 2009 07:12 PM

^her single will be released later but it probably won't be a triple a-side. this is the triple a-side they were mentioning on her site.

If it was possible, they shoulda released this collab without faraway and then an actual Triple A-side later.
That misono solo is still a big disappointment for me, I really can't stand her voice in her songs though thank God she sounds decent in the collab.

freedreamer 22nd February 2009 03:22 AM

well if she is having ANOTHER 3A single..then im fine

something tells me Koda is having a change in sttyle though...
and there wont be TABOO-esque songs....since she said each album will be different from TRICK on

I don't mind that if it's true because if she were to be stuck in a rut , then it's very boring

that's the problem I have with full blown R&B artistes in that their material tend to sound the same & it's :dead2

RikkuChii 22nd February 2009 05:55 AM

Wow, she has so many things coming out.

Kuu fans are gonna be so broke by the end of this if they plan to buy everything she's releasing.

When did she state this!? That blows. If Ku made songs like Driving for the rest of her career I would never get sick of it. Lol.

ouch....i don't expect much from yuna, but against JE and GLAY is bad, i will be content if she's in the top 5 already.

NO IT'S NOT!!
As i remember she says: she already finished the next next single!!
Not she finished the 44th Single, this was said from some guys here they said something like: "OMG that means she already recorded her 44th Single!"
And then the next person: "woaah 44th single already" or something like that.
And on her official site there is no Info, that this is her 43rd Single!
If u look on her Informartion Site, there is always a info of the number of the single "42nd Single stay with me" or "41st Single TABOO", or its in the infotext like MOON!
So it's not called "43rd Single It's all Love!" or it is something like 43rd in the info text.

And the same is it with some people think it's a Tripel A Side!
No please No!
It's not a Tripel A Side!
It's a single A-Side with 2 B-Sides, cause the single is called "It's all Love!" and not "It's all Love/ faraway/ crappy title from misono" or like "3Wishes" or something!
Look at MOON/ FREAKY, they are just single A Side Singles, too, just with 3 B-Sides, cause the single called MOON/ FREAKY!
If someone mean this is a Tripel A Side that it means that Butterfly is a Tripel A Side Single or that LOVE & HONEY is a 4 A Side! :no

If I'm wrong than Sorry from my site for the missunderstanding! ;)
Thank You!!

I think she can get another top 10 spot , I doubt #1 since ARASHI will be releasing Believe / Kumori Nochi , Kaisei on the same day as her

by the way everyone who already got their copies of TRICK , I want to ask do you realise a typo error in the 1st page of the CD sleeve ?

the part under disc 3 where it stated the remix of Cherry Girl , they listed the song's found in Black Cerry instead of Black Cherry :dead2

Mine's HK press so I don't know for Japan or Taiwan press wise :shrug

Well, that's not the only typo in the booklet ...

On the final page of the booklet, look at the PV credits, for That Ain't Cool it says "Pruducer" instead of "Producer"

EDIT: I have the Japan press but they made the same typo so I suppose it's like that with all presses.

KarenPang 22nd February 2009 02:20 PM

oh I saw that earlier on , thanks for telling Kris

AyuHamasaki01 22nd February 2009 02:27 PM

I think those typo's are quite lol but also kind of disturbing :tipsy
You'd expect Avex to check it twice, right?

AyuHamasaki01 22nd February 2009 02:31 PM

I believe there was also another typo found in an other Kuu CD, I can't remember which CD though but I believe the typo was "lylics" instead of "lyrics"???

Is the Get it On, on the new collab. Album a New Version? Because there albums up on jpopsuki I downloaded it, but Get It On, sounds exactly the same.

taskinillusion 23rd February 2009 05:35 AM

I really love their blue sparkly outfits in the CD only version. The other versions are good too, but not my favorite.

I didn't know the "Driving Hits" were all new remixes! That's really nice at least. I just thought they were all the same old songs with a couple new remixes. Good to know.

I don't know how much I'm liking the sound of the new song they're doing together... it's so... loud and like they're yelling the whole time. The PV looks cute... I guess... :laugh

I like her clothes, too. She looks really beautiful here.^^

I also like Itīs all love preview. But I like loud and noisy songs, so... :D
And I think Misono blend quite well with her sisters voice in the chorus.

I wait for the full version!

omg i'm sure she is so stylish the bottom is awesome !

Her pants are even more horrible now ... What was she thinking?

Kuu, some things just don't suit you ... the pants you're wearing, is one of those things.

Kuu needs and stylist NOW.

But her clothes on the "rock" version of Itīs All Love! covers are great though.
The baby pictures are so cute ^o^ but really, Kuu took all the good genes away xDDD (Iīve never liked misono much xD)

Chinese entertainers shine at event held to celebrate Avex’s 20th anniversary

Tuesday 24th February, 05:54 AM JST

TOKYO — The final round of Avex’s “World Audition” was held at Zepp Tokyo in Ome this week, with Chinese entertainers taking out several of the awards. More than 19,000 people from Asia, the U.S. and Europe applied to enter the six-category competition held by entertainment giant Avex to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Exchange student Shin Ko, 24, took out the grand prix and commanded most of the attention. Ko came to Japan two years ago and is currently in his second year at a Japanese school in Tokyo. He sings and plays the piano at bars in his evenings, and sang one of his Japanese songs in the final round on Sunday. Singer Kumi Koda, 26, who came close to taking out the grand prix in 2000, presented Ko with a bouquet of flowers on stage. She offered some advice to Ko and told him to try not to imitate anyone else, but to preserve his individuality.

Yuchi Ryu, a 22-year-old Chinese model, won in the model category. After she accepted the prize, she declared in Japanese her ambition of becoming one of the world’s top supermodels.

jbrat2219 24th February 2009 02:34 AM

Congrats to those who won, my friend wanted me to sign up but I have no talent xD; I'm not going to delude myself into thinking I do... Although meeting Koda Kumi would have been awesome :O

emi♡ 24th February 2009 06:02 AM

kuu WOULD tell him something like that <3


that's interesting...I wonder who is Ryu Yuchi. I hope she makes it. Asian models are totally underrepresented.
