I do think we'll get info this week - at least a first.

Considerng they always tried to avoid big competition wit Kuu's album releases ( and cause it's already late), it's most likely the date will be postponed.
Announcements we have:
03/04: B'z, Mika Nakashima
03/11: SEXY ZONE
03/25: EXILE
So probably a 03/18 or later release. Or they don't care anymore about chart positions.

I think they still care about the chart, and I can see they postponing the album.
With Bon Voyage they probably did something undercover for her to get the #1 weekly (the album went from 1st, during the first day, to 6th position as the week went off). It was quite suspicious imo. haha

I don't mind the release being 03/18 tho.

There's nothing suspicious about that. The first two days of sales included pre-orders from the fan club. Personally I don't think Avex really cares about Kuu's chart positions anymore (or her in general but thats another story). They even let Ayu get a #5 album last year and we all know Avex REALLY REALLY cared about her chart positions.

I just find weird the boost since we don't have acess to the number when the album is under 3rd place, but anyway. :)

Mika also announced her new album today, I think this week is THE week.

This is the first time I'm getting excited with anticipation!

Akina Nakamori (the singer of TATTOO, and many other great songs) is covering Kuu's Ai no Uta for her new album Utahime 4 - My Eggs Benedict (thanks to Koda Kumi Italian Fan Club!):

Full song: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2f...benedict_music

The song sounds so fresh with this instrumental, I like it!

OMG THATS A DREAM COMING TRUE :thud My Jpop queen and my 80s Jpop queen covering each other :banana2 I hope they do a live collab someday!

Fucking DEAD @ "My Eggs Benedict"

You guys still wanna complain about WALK OF MY LIFE, or...?

Kuu made another Line post this morning in japanese.
She has a lot of studio work to do recently.

So she's still in the studio? Or again?
She didn't specify.
Kuu, you're such a tease, lol.

Akina's version of Ai no Uta sounds quite nice. Different at least. :)

Why does everyone just cover Ai no Uta? She has so many more better songs

^ It's her most popular song, even more famous than Butterfly.

You guys, I just found some files in my old computer and there's almost 30GBs of TV performances \ festivals that Kumi performed. Do you guys think it would be cool to have some sort of a database of that? My internet isn't the best to upload videos, since some of the performances are in HD, maybe just images like Ayu's SEASONS gallery (http://www.eneabba.net/ayu/). What you guys think? (I was so proud of having almost all the Butterfly performances haha)

I think that would be awesome! Nothing like that exists for Kuu, right?

Weird question here...

Anyone that has a copy of Eternity here, does your disc and/or rip have a 'sketchy' or 'jumpy' end to Megumi no Hito?

Oh, and keen to get details of her new album.

I think this is a great idea! As far as I know nothing like this exists for Kuu atm.

-

I'm getting so thirsty for details on the album. It's obvious now that March 4 is no longer the release date. Hoping we don't have to wait beyond next week for confirmation...

We will need a new thread soon!

It would be nice if the new thread coincided with the announcement of her new album. Let's all just stop posting until it is announced?

I've been thinking why there's no database website for Kuu. It would be so awesome♥

No announcement today again. Mika and EXILE already announced their releases so it's pretty safe to assume the album is getting postponed.

I don't think the Kuu thread works like that... :P
