Now when I look at them I realized a thing. I loved loved loved the CD+DVD cover but now in HQ I see how bosky her eye brows is in that picture... All part of the styling but frankly it annoys me!

The fact that this has 17 PVs is probably helping build the hype. :heart
I'm totally excited. Granted the majority of Kingdom's album videos were a bit cheap it was still nice watching them. I probably wont be buying this, though. But who knows, I still have a long time to think about it haha.

Just ordered CD + DVD and Limited Edition at Play-Asia.

Kuu never had a digipack disc before, had she? Some first presses had a slipcase, but this new thing :P I like digipacks, wish I could pre-order the CD+2DVD also, but the CD+PB is expensive enough for me.

I want this album so bad, but I decided that I also want to buy a 3DS, which is $169 in Canada. I can't afford both :/ And I could buy Japonesque later on, but the First Press digipak would be sold out, and I LOVE digipaks. SO SAD.

I'm glad that I don't have to worry about which version to get, cause I have the money to buy all. Also I'm getting all versions from her singles and albums since Alive/Physical thing and try to get the others on YAJ and ebay. I just want a full Kuu collection one day!

Reactions on western sites and forums are really positive for Japonesque. I so hope it will be the same in Japan, but I'm a bit worried, cause it will be an upbeat album, with almost no ballads it seems (two ballads we know so far, Ai wo tomenaide and the one with the PV she just shot). And the japanese audience LOVES her ballads! XD

I really want to buy the photobook version, but I think it's sold out now? ):

What about Slow. Feat Omarion? That has a ballad vibe to me. :) As well as All For You, Everyday and Brave. I'm just guessing these til the album comes out. :D

Well, Kuu herself said at that released press info on her official site, that most of the new songs will be aggressive dance and rock pop songs, so I don't think there will be high chances to get so much more ballads. But we'll see. :laugh

Love me back debuted #6 on Oricon with 32.885 copies sold. well... in the line of her latests releases :rolleyes

omg corvina, I envy you XD wish I had the money to buy all the versions, but I'm only getting the CD+2DVD version, 'cause that cover is just :heart

and Gubsi, thanks for the calendar scans babe! it would be great if you can upload all the scans in their original size in a rar file when you finish scanning them (x

True. :laugh I think I was generalising a bit there...But you never know! I hope there are at least a couple of new ballads on there, I love Kuu's ballads. D:

Ugh.. :/ Love Me Back deserved so much more, it's such an awesome song!

Big thanks to Lidayu at JPC

Going to scan it as soon as I have it, probably this weekend!

The covers are just perfect. The title is perfect. Kuu is perfect!

:heart

Oh WOW I love that preview of EDGE Style!! :heart She looks absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait for the scan! :heart The black lipstick really suits her there.

And yeah, Love Me Back definitely deserved more...Although I can't help but feel like the singles aren't doing well is because most people know they'll be on the album, and are waiting for the album. The album has only just been announced and it already doing extremely good in pre-orders. It's what I do. I don't really have the money to buy all Kuu's singles, so I usually just buy her albums and singles I only REALLY like. :)

I'm really surprised, I didn't know that Dejavu sold so much!
The EDGE STYLE pic is gorgeous, she's looking sexier than ever in this era.

btw I've made a Christmas wallpaper, if someone wants

omg lmao I didn't even notice those eyebrows on the other pictures.
I still like it though because it has an edge, I can ignore those eyebrows.

when's Japonesque coming out??
17 PVS?! I'm soooo excited~

I hope Koda can have a number one single again some day, I know she'll be back on top

Epic and beautiful, as always.
