imo, the covers are really lame. ~First Things~ and ~Second Session~ have nothing to do with eachother, why should ~Second Session~ and ~Third Universe~? I don't like it, plus, I HATE her hair. She looks like MISONO in the strawberry cover

Second, WHY is this being marketted as her 8th album if you can't even just buy the album? Why wouldn't avex just market it as a best with however many new tracks.

This whole thing is really pretty stupid imo, I wish she'd release two CD-only's, one with the album and one with the best. I don't really wanna buy the best if I end up getting this...

I think this is a nasty trick by Avex to make me buy a Best that I don't want. Knowing me I'm going to get it anyway, if the album tracks are any good. If they're like some of the ones on Kingdom or Black Cherry I may not even bother, since I haven't been totally in love with the majority of her singles this year. :(

We don't have a date on this yet, right? All I could make out from the caps was "2010" and "2".

the release date is february 3rd :yes

Ooo 3rd Feb. Wait..thats like...2 weeks from Can We Go Back. Ahha I knew it.

I like the covers. Though...After Namie, anything that deals with OLD covers kinda get old. Waazup with Avex and their promotion methods lol.

I must be so dumb to realize only after reading 2 more additional pages that the third best and album both have the word "UNIVERSE"...The tracklist looks kinda iffy...at least it shows that Kuu has cleaned up her act from the photos HAHHA..

(I have a strange feeling but Kuu might release a COVER BEST lolllll)

It was probably her idea to shoot it like that. She must've liked Namie's PAST<FUTURE idea.

Actually it was Kumi's idea to package them together. Avex could have disagreed if they didn't like the idea. And it is not just being being marketed as her eighth album it is also being marketed as a best.

Again her idea not theirs.

Ew! :irked:headache:eviltongu

And that's one of the many reasons I've always believed Kuu isn't exactly intelligent. Love her to bits, but she totally strikes me as someone who's dumb as bricks.

I'm sure even if I hate the album at first it'll grow on me over time. I still don't particularly care for TRICK, but a lot of the songs really grew one me a lot (This is not a love song, Driving, show girl)

Ummmmmm.......

:laugh I gotta quote this, girl.

Ugh can you not..

I kind of want all 3 versions just for the covers lol

If I can't get the original album by itself, I'm afraid I may have to skip on this all together :no

can I not what? I wasn't trying to insult her, I never said that was a BAD thing. I don't think it is at all, it makes her cute. All I meant was in a ditzy kinda way, she just doesn't strike me as a person with a lot of foresight and understanding, it's no big deal ._. I still love her to bits, I've been a Kuu fan for a long time now (longer then I've been an Ayu fan). It sorta makes her fun lol

BEST ALBUM + 8TH ALBUM...

DAMNIT! NICE IDEA INDEED! 8D

AMAZING COVERS AS WELL! <3

Oh God, I'll preorder all the versions for sure :yes

Calling someone "dumb as bricks" can be seen as insulting, lol. But I see what you mean now. I think she's dorky and stupid sometimes too lol, it's cute. But not cute when it leads to her collaborating with fergie or her sister -_-

so the album's on the site now (dunno if it's been posted here)

I guess maybe the album tracklist isn't finalized yet?

:scry i so wanna buy them.. but i can't :scry
gotta save money for her 10th anniv.

Oh, i just realized, no faraway & hashire! there

I'm glad she left off faraway and hashire to make room for new songs. Those weren't that special anyway :P I really hope the new songs are good.
