avex are hit or miss with their covers. they can produce masterpieces like... the ... uh ... *think of good avex cover!!*... alan single covers!!

or they produce FUG covers like them ^^

Nothing can be worse than the Anytime CD+DVD version, she looked like she just got of bed and went high at the same time...

I don't think there is any point to argue.
IMO Kuu has the WORST, CRAPPIEST, MOST UNDERGOUND taste for clothes in the world.
but I like her nevertheless :D

^ Okay...

Why must you be so cruel? :weep
Violence is not the answer!!!!

XD yeah she looked weird on it


everytime I look at the Black Cherry tour covers I'm thinking
''WTheck did they think ? XD''
it's like 'we've put a picture and try to do something funny with the text'
the text is so messed up...

omg! I just imagined the wort cover ever for Black Cherry tour
Kumi with a Black cherry costume
the cherries are her feet and well the rest is kumi .
to be more clear, Imagine this :banana1 but instead it's a black cherry w/ kumi in it


*omg, picture go away*

HAhaH! FInally, an artist with a cover worst than Ayu....What the hell is wrong with Avex??

this cover is out of this world fugly!

That pic will haunt me in my nightmares :/

WHY AVEX?! WHY?!?!?!?!?! :weep

Her stomach looks so yummy

can't Avex put a pic like The Sleeping Mermaid as the cover or something ?

Aiyoh T_T

the cover with her picture of her in mermaid would have been beautiful
Avex wtheck did you think? :shakehead

That would've been awesome :yes

yummier if she had a "unique" navel ring~
navel ring is so SEXY~

my black cherry tour dvd is ready to be shipped
can't wait to get it ^^

ew serious? :P

She needs some tone in her stomach, but no massive abs or anything.

Koda Kumi needs to learn from pose queens sifow and Ayumi. xD She looks really...bored and unfocused in that photo.

mm, she does a bit. I think ... was this shoot during the scandal? maybe that's why she looks so discomforted =/

I actually like the font on the DVD cover, but the picture, oh the picture, now that's a big horrendous no.

can't get any better than this

Geez! The DVD cover is horrible. It's even worst than BoA's DVD covers! And BoA's DVD covers tends to be the worst!

I dig BoA's Face Cover! So pretty and natural! I'd love to see Ayu having that look as a cover!

i really think the normal edition is so pretty. but sigh

anyway my DVD is under shipping process!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

Correction: It looked like she did nausty things all night...

Of course I couldn't agree more! :hi5

And your post isn't the answer on my question... wait, trying to avoid the subject, right?

:shughug Need a huggie?

I think Kuu's fashion is stuck in the worst party of eighties...>_< and she tend to wear a lot of clashing colors which don't exactly look good with her complexion...(the only time I sort of liked the stuff she wore was that coat in Ai No Uta PV, and even that was kind of weird...)

Her pose just looks so awkward on the cover, and her pose. Along with the text.

I still wonder who her stylist is...
*grabs Kingdom booklet*
Listen to the what the all-knowing booklet has to say!:

Stylist: SHUN (RE PUBLIC)
Hair & Make-up: Akemi Nakadai (bnf.)
Nailist (wtf?): Makiko Muto (ORIENTAL NAIL)

I dunno if this is only for Kingdom...

*leaves thread while thinking: WTF?! Nailist?*

Why the hell is there someone special just for nails!? OMG

Nail art is a big part of fashion in Japan. So, the stars need their own nail artist. :love

I guess it was to much work to just type "Nail artist/stylist" in the booklet :shrug

Yep! Nailists are very important! They do all of her crazy fingernails!

Nailist sounds better, probably.

Anyway... I was just watching LIMITED LIVE again, and ... "BUT" gives me majorLULZ. The beginning ... where she screams .... and does the star dancing!!!! :roflmao oh it's too much... <3

I remember my sister's reaction when she screamed, she was like o.o and I was like "Go Ku!!!! Yay!"

Those zebra clog things Kuu is wearing ... are gross. I wonder how many bears Kumizon slayed to make that coat... :shrug

haha the star dance is funny with the thick furcoat. ^_^

Hehehe ... I need to make an animation of it. :love

That scream is somewhere between aweful/okay.
The dance if funny though

:roflmao
You're so funny! How many times haven't I told you? Kumi wears stuff :yes


You totally should!

Well, it's better than those rug rags from FrEaKy'S video. </3

that's true!
Or the rags she wore at A-Nation '06 :puke

Hehehe... well her style seems to have improved since then. The Captain Hooker outfit is HOT!! :yes

^You think so?!
I hate it... she totally looks like a Hooker in Captain outfit.

It's decent.

"He stole da key... now it time to take it back."

I can't WAIT to watch that part in FULL of the Brack Cherry tour. :D

that is what she said, RAIGHT?

Captain Hooker is totally HOT!

how about this one ?

Heat
http://koda.cc/special/tour2008/img/tour2007_02.jpg
Yume no Uta
http://koda.cc/special/tour2008/img/tour2007_03.jpg

Heat is a complete Song. NOt Medly.

she take her jacket off, just like Best~FT~ tour. Totally hot <3

and she invites a girl on stage, and chained up!!!

HAH. She looks HAWT in that Heat pic.

But... she performed Yume no Uta in that? I was hoping for a huge dress.

I'm still LULING so hard at Koi no Tsubomi @ LIVE IN HALL. HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!!!!

yup. She perform Tsuki to taiyou and Yume no Uta in that outfit.

Ya know... the pirate outfit is kinda nice when she's not wearing the fug hat and jacket.

Mm. Except the shoes. I'd rather have some sparkly thigh boots <3

oh she sings tsuki to tayou? -_- gah. forgot.

heat's perfomance sounds and look hot!

lol, insane me, i did all sorts of research or review for that tour. Because i am simply too excited!!!

i will go crazy if i received my DVD! i gotta really enjoy that 3 hours live! <3

The only thing I have to say: EEEEEWWWW!

LOL, well... it's Kuu. So we don't know.
I didn't get that post of fanmail...

Which post? Did you watch the "Black Cherry" PV on the Kingdom DVD? It's at the start of that. :cool

^Ooooh, you mean that part...

Yeah :laugh

I could only make out that part. I need to watch it in more detail :yes

i can't wait to see Mermaid Kuu in that water tank!!!!

@AyuHamasaki01 - Why Ewww? The pictures are disgusting??? It looks hawt o.O

Yes maybe... but I was talkin' about her clothes :D

Mermaid Kuu!! I need this DVD right NOW. Ugh, stupid Ayu and her 10th Anniversary mega releasing crap. </3

^:punch
Nothing against Mirrorcle World and ASIA TOUR 2008! Have faith, my english friend :)

Hey! They're good, but expensive. And so is Kuu's damn DVD. :wtf:strike

^ *slaps on fanny's back*I'm always here if you want to talk...

^I'm not into Kuu concerts either...
They're good but not the most entertaining.

hahahahahahhaa u´re so funny.

This SHUN is not the dancer SHUN....is it? o.O

hmmmm secret live and second session were entertaining....

^LOL, especially the talk before Ima Sugu Hoshii!

"CRAP YOUR HANDS EVERYBODEEE!"

uh ok?! XD
I mean for Heat it fits but Yume no uta? Wth? :laugh
it doesn't go together at all

The power come with a voice... Fot getting back the key he stole... Black Cherry Tour, special final.... I ready

o.O

Key he stole? What's that supposed to mean x/

^It's Kumi language... you can't understand a thing of it but it does sound spooky...

Well, shall I try an attempt?

EDIT: Okay, this is what I hear:

The hours wake up with their voice
For getting back the key he stole

the bold parts are the parts from which I am postive that she says it...

EDIT 2: But we could also ask someone if they want to translate this (don't you just love it when she says something in english that you can't understand and they use Japanese "subtitles" :laugh):

and this one:

Thanks for those screens :D

yes, haha, no one can understand kuuminese. ;_;

hmm I could understand her...she said uhmmm a I deleted it something about waking up by the voice of the audience and getting back the key he stole......

who stole which key?

^"he" stole the key...
Maybe she means her boyfriend... what's his name again?
Or maybe she means Captain Jack Sparrow?

Maybe the key represents her kuu-chi. :D

hmmm mabye her voice?...she is strange...I don´t remeber anything special happen at the end of SS Tour

I only remember her swimming away with that "SEE YOU SOME AGAIN!!" message. :bgiggle

hmm lemme think about somethig.....
why was she fightin that guys on FF tour? did she get what she wanted?

On SS she´s already the "queen" cause is starts with fancy clothin and the dancers take her down stairs..... I dunno if everything is linked, cause I can´t seem to find explanation to "love goes like" ending movie when she gets free from the "dark" power and become the fugly butterfly o.O. anyway..... she´s a warrior again (SS encore) and in the end she just jumps into the ocean and become a mermaid (maybe she already was one),

then.... she tells us someone stole something precious from her and she´s gonna take it back.

We already know its a key..... maybe to her....KINGDOM???

It really does o____________o;

I don't think avex are bothered about these stories for Kumizon though. All they want is MONIEZ from her.

Hmm it was like the rabit at the end of secret concert was the first costume in ~ft~ Tour which closed with her in a kimono...which was the opening outfit in ~ss~ Tour which closed with the water screen and linked to BC Tour which opened with her in a tank

You're truely a pure love :laugh

maybe the "key he stole" refers to kumi's virginity?

^Actually me too :laugh but the idea would be nice (in her tour).

XD

but I like the idea of the key opening the doors to her Kingdom
it makes a lot of sense :yes

Waaaaawwwaww I haven't posted here in a while LOL

I really love the cover to her tour DVD, so I think I'm going to buy it :D

Honey, that key done long been stolen! :laugh

What the japanese subtitles say is:
"She wants to be waken up by your voice to get back the key he stole"
At least thats what I get :p

OMG
XD


thnks for the translation orochicloud
idea: the key of her heart?

bleh. maybe it's too easy to be that
I still prefer the key for her kingdom

Sorry if this was already posted (I didn't see it...), but here's the regular edition to the Black Cherry tour cover:

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/image/disco/RZBD-45894_.jpg
http://img-shop.mu-mo.net/images/4/R...4_t_01_400.jpg

I personally like the special edition better...also, when does the remix / collaboration album come out?

I guess it's bad that it took me a minute to figure out what was different :P

^what...that she had an ass bigger than tyra banks?! Kuu definitely doesn't have a butt that big! :no

@polka: Not Captain Hooker again...:OMG (:laugh Sorry I just like to call her that because of that pic!)

Can someone be a sweety and make a textless version of the cover? It's to fugly for me to bear looking at again with those freakin' text plastered all over her face.

I want the DVD now...

today i've received my copied secret 1st class limited live..

arghhh shake it... LOL..
i want laugh when seeing her dance

Yeah... We hate Avex...

Are you laughing it me? :bringit

Maybe there is a story in the Tour that will clear it up?
But then other questions, who is "she"? and who is "he"?

IMO the most logical is that "she" would refer to Kumi in the Mermaid Story? But in Black Cherry she uses these words "Uh boy" and "Uh girl"...

This is so confusing :dead2

meh well they are better than the Limited Edition version...

i know in the tour interlude movies, Kuu mermaid likes a guy but it that turns out to be a ringmaster. So she might be refering to him who stole the key?

^You mean an interlude from BC Tour?

^

YEp

she falls in love with a ringmaster...?
How weird can it be?

Somehow it reminds me of The Little Mermaid XD!

^ Yeah, a kind of warped and weird version.

what i mean is, she like the guy. She don't know that the guy is a evil ring master that actually intend to catch her and put up her up on display.

then you see Ningyohime. The glass display!! =D angry Kuu burst the glassbox.
