I'd like to hear a ballad like You're So Beautiful/magic, it fits her voice so well :D

To me Promise sounds like R&B. :)

And I wouldn't mind a ballad either, because those are my soft spot when it comes to Kuu. I love those so much. <3

I thought Jpop ballad would be more like Ai no Uta or Yume no Uta, something like sort of grandeur and epic. Promise isn't really like that.

^you have epic jpop ballads, and generic jpop ballads. Promise is more of that last one :P

^ Promise to me is more epic than generic. It's one of my favorites btw.

I know the single will have a ballad, but I hope not. I mean, it's summer (I know is winter here, but whatever)... cmon... I don't need a boring ballad this time :(

did anyone notice in the second FANTASIA scans behind the scenes the kira kira pc Kuu's using, the engraved words "Queen of Pop"
ohlala :D

I need a new ballad <3 I want You are not alone since it sounds like You're so beautiful.

and OMG Promise is not generic... it's such a good song.

I really want sweet ballad like gentle words, I lately got into this song and I can't get over it :heart

A couple days ago I was thinking... Maybe the 'new collaboration' will be as Once Again.
When they started to release the information, Once Again was announced as a collaboration with PUSHIN, but she just wrote and composed the song.

well im happy others do find it an amazing song :laugh i thought it was pretty forgetable

Misono got new single as ME so maybe they will be another collaboration with all those rumors Feat. me

[2011.09.28] T-R-U-T-HL-I-E-S / L-I-K-EH-A-T-E (Me) (ホ・ン・ト・ウ・ソ/ス・キ・ラ・イ)

Gentle Words is hands down my favorite Kuu song. No comparison for me :heart

Gentle Words love, eh? I can join you too. It's one of the best Kuu songs ever. I really hope there would be something similar one day. <3

I did notice that small, but amazing detail. <3

same here:heart But closely followed by you and LOVE HOLIC. It'd be so cool if there was a similiar song to Gentle Words on the new single :)

How can people choose their absolute #1 favorite song of Kuu? o.O I've found it too hard because I love most of her songs so much.

This. So many good songs that I cant choose a favorite one.

I understood what you meant completely. :)

I can't choose one absolutely favourite song as well. :laugh
But from her ballads I love Gentle Words (also the PV), Rain, Pearl Moon especially at the moment. Anata dake ga also got a special place in my heart, it's magical. <3
Ballads grew on me so much, cause I never was a ballad person before. I'm happy about it! :yes
