Preach the truth!


Glad to read so much positive reviews on her album. Long time since one of her album was welcomed with as much unanimity (last one was what… JAPONESQUE?!)

I feel the same way! This is such a nice change of pace. I wonder how her Japanese fans are reacting so far? Anyone have any insights on that?

I really love her new album
I decided to make an special dance re-mix for "GOOD TIME" song.

I hope you like it!

^ very nice!! there's something about this song so much potential!

Currently listening to the new material in heart for the 2nd time

RED is no doubt my favourite & a wasted chance for this not to have a video made :c

The 2 duets are good as well !

I like what I've heard in heart & to me it's definitely way better than re(CORD)

I'm so happy with this new album!!
My favorites are Bow Wow (addictive song) and RED (amazing song)!
I also like Sure Shot (funny song) and Atlas (maybe a bit weird at the end of the song but still cool)
I find the album very coherent, with a musical identity, it's an excellent job

Kuu will perform Ai no Uta on next Fri's MUSIC STATION 3 hours special episode

:c

AI will also perform next Fri too . A wasted chance not to perform GOOD TIME together :s

Bow Wou has black candy vibe

Aww indeed missed occasion…

I wonder what is the relationship between Kuu and MS. She is only invited one time each 5 years to perform Ai no Uta or Butterfly.
She hasn’t performed a new song there for a decade… weird

^ Oh to be a fly on the wall inside TV Asahi

To be somewhat fair , next Fri's MUSIC STATION 3 hours special songs selection is due to other musicians that selected them to be performed as part of a Koi Uta special corner

For Ai no Uta , it will be part of a nostalgic love song medley so I doubt Kuu will sing the song in full

It's interesting that other than AI , Hotei Tomoyasu will also perform next Fri & 1 of the songs he'll be performing is COMPLEX's BE MY BABY which he was part of the duo before they disbanded

I guess she's just become a classic singer with her classic hits. People in general are not interested in her newest stuff so they dont bother bringing her to the regular episodes, but when it comes to celebrations and special shows, you just gotta have some classic acts with their classic hits.

^ yes sure but Music Station has like 5/6 special shows per year. Always wondered why she is almost never invited anymore while some not as relevant singers are still invited.
It’s especially weird as she was one of the most invited singer during 2005~2010.

Anyway glad she will perform there. Loved the show

Hey guys, I recently made a visual essay celebrating Kumi's career with 6 reasons why she's special. Also, I made a (very subjective) list of what I think are her 10 best songs on my blog. Let me know what you guys think.

^ I have watched. Liked your argumentation on the YouTube video.
For the top. It s a good choice. Lot of classical or great songs!

I love the new album and I can't wait even more to get my FC edition. The only thing that I haven't been able to shake off is that for some reason GOOD TIME sorta reminds me a little of a specific western 90s song I know from my childhood. Just I can't remember which one. I don't know. Maybe I'm just going crazy. LOL

^ it absolutely does! I am waiting for somebody to post which song is covered or sampled; it just sounds too familiar.

^^ Very good so far!! Vocals sound amazing!

A very pleasant, clear, and strong vocal from her at Music Station!

I also believe that is by far the closest she's come to matching her original vocal technique for Ai no Uta in quite some time.
