Kuu has never smoked, I don't think she would start while she was PREGNANT. xD She has already taken lots of measures to ensure her baby is healthy, I think it's kinda an insult for the media to even post this. They're obviously just trying to get at her, using the pregnancy for bad press. PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. XD

It's good too see some promo out for JAPONESQUE, but no CM yet? D:

And I agree with Setsuka, I'm not going to do any comparisons between Ayu's and Kuu's marriages, because they are both completely different situations. Ayu and Mannie are practically a world apart, it would have worked if Ayu had moved to the USA with him, but she chose to stay with her country after the earthquake, and as they begun to see each other less, she realised that her desire to be with her country outgrew her desire to move to the USA, they just grew apart. Ayu's marriage was just what sadly happens to a lot of long distance relationships if both parties wish to stay where they are. XD Kuu and Kenji are different, they not only live in the same country, but they live TOGETHER, and they are having a child together. They are the complete opposite to the situation Ayu had, hahaha. They don't have to move across the world to see each other, all they have to do is move from the couch to the kitchen, LOL. And they are both obviously ready and excited to make a family. :) That's my opinion, hahaha. They both seem very happy so I am not worried.

I gotta say, I think there are elements of Black Cherry, TRICK, Best Second Session and Dejavu in JAPONESQUE. The whole album is kinda a mixture of all the genre's and styles she has done over the years, that's why I like it so much, It's a great album for her 10th! :love

Yeah, and it's not a huge website, so pretty sure is just a lie. XD

LOL media never knows when they write a lie in a good time XD , such an epic fail !

I guess I'm just worried, because even though I didn't really have faith in Ayu and Mannie (bad, bad fan) I was still kinda blind-sided by their divorce. I don't mean to compare or be negative, I just realized that these things can really happen :(

^
well, of course these things can really happen, but I don't think it's something people should worry about... people have to try things (like marriage) instead of living with worries and fears. Then if something goes wrong.. well, at least u can say you try it!

You are right. I was just sad to hear about Ayu, and now I worry about Kuu. As fan we want them to be happy, you know?

Cyzo is a pretty big website though

but it is a tabloid and is usually fake as hell,so happy Boom Boom Boys is being released early, it was the one I wanted to hear the most

I thought Boom Boom Boys sounded chaotic and not one of the ones I have any faith in. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised but right now I'm not excited for that one.

^it kinda reminds me of pop diva cause she has a lot of vocal track layers during the chorus, including that really high one that made pop diva annoying lol Im thinking it might be better live~~

about kodas situation...idk its obviously going to be easier for them...maybe the baby will super cement their relationship? lol relationships are so unpredictable. It certainly doesnt feel crazy like ayus did though.

I hope my upcoming marriage will last longer than Ayu's.

I'm not really feeling BBBoys's preview.. I would much rather have Love Technique or So Nice or ESCALATE or Lay Down. they all seem to be my favorite so far.

but maybe BBBoys will grow on me in full.

FLAWLESS !!!

I have a weird love for koda in super dark lipstick.

Quick & crappy translation (sowwiiee.. i have exams :laugh)

Introduction: It has a theme how other countries see Japan. The song will be the introduction for the album, and it has the image of a "oiran" (courtesan) walking, while saying "please follow me"

So nice: The oiran who walk across and waiting for a guy who can light the flames　(probably it has a sexual implicit since it's Kuu-chan :lech). The major color in the MV is red and gold (the dress) and it's so Koda Kumi-ish. Since she once lived in Kyoto, she wants to try the oiran style.

BBB: Close to FREAKY, Rock and Dance tune. The theme is a free wild woman who drinking alcohol everyday, dating with different guy everyday. The story of the MV is a woman who drinking alcohol in the club and dancing to release the stress.

Slow: There are a lot of guys who think that "you can't give happines to a woman if you don't have money". on the other part, woman thinks "there is other thing that is more imporant than money. I only waiting for you, your kindness and smile; because it's your charm". Kuu and Omarion will be move in real time-motion, meanwhile the other cast will be in slow-motion.

Brave: Actually this song was finished 3 years ago. The story is about a guy who got seperated with the girl; even tho I were re-born, i wanted you to love me again; and i wish that you would think the same way too. The MV, in the room there is a uncoordinated clock, hanging on a tree. After the break-up, the time doesn't move; the girl wants that time to come back.

Everyday: no matter whether you're sad or happy, as long as you're together, you'll be happy. MV will use a lot of CG. Rainy girl and Sunny girl. Typical cutesy song

ESCALATE: When the feeling of love is increasing, the mood is escalating. The strong woman type of song. The MV shows that love is like a chess game. There won't be too much dancing scene, but the choreo is cool; and she can't wait to perform it live. In further detail, she wear a different contact lense color on her right-left eye.

No Man's land: the demo and the re-arrange were very different. Man and woman sang it together, but then it was changed to rock sound, and the rap part is written by Mr. blistah. The title has "soil land" meaning, "i want to go to a world where none of guy exists. I want to be free from a guy who betrays me. But the things keep repeating again and again. The shot used monochrome for the first time.

Lay Down: Can you handle me just like a doll. Another type of strong woman song. Since this MV used backlight, they have to do the re-take couple of times, cause the make-up didn't turn out to be good.

Love technique: Cute song and Kuu will be a love teacher blablabla

All for you: This song is dedicated to her kid-fans (if i'm not mistaken x___x)

they also put the preview on her site
http://rhythmzone.net/koda/sp/japonesque/music.html
like the boxes with the screen caps must mean she will be putting all them as the days go on but who knows,would have been better if they uploaded it on avex's youtube

any way looks awesome

^
sucks it says not much dancing,I thought it looked hot, was hoping we get good dance routine in at least on pv, V.I.P dancing was weak, same with LMB and No Mans Land has a rap o_O by her, lol sounds very Back-On must the husband influences

I ****ing need this album now
