I'm just hoping she'll include JUICY...

I support making videos for songs with no PV or new arrangements :D

Oh yes, I would like some new arrangements! :yes

According to Kumi-Flash there's going to be a new song and new PV with the release :) although I haven't seen anything official yet?

LOL I sound so lame talking about never performing Hashire :laugh

Anyways that's a great news ! Tottaly buying it , actually i'll buy it anyway ;p

I think a summer best cd would be cool! Her summer songs are some of my favorites!

For going out I think it's cool she goes out by herself. A few years ago around the time she started getting really popular in a interview she was talking about her fame. She said something about how before people would ever stop her or anything but now people stop her and will ask for photos and autographs which she thought was really cool. For security in other countries I can see that lol. When she was here in TX there were soo many. When she left the autograph area there were 4 people around her..one on each side of her yelling for people to get out of the way.

I remember that... They nearly pushed us over getting her out. Crazy!

Another "Best" album? This was inevitable.


I think I'll Pass.

I can't believe people are shocked by another best, it's avex and kumi, she's queen of bests and at least there may be a new song!

Well the best was no surprise , avex won't let kuu rest for nothing , but seriously it's kind of stupid , i want b-sides bes :grumpy

I think a best is an apt release. People miss her so it's a timely release to anticipate her comeback. this I have no issues haha

:shake Sry to interrupt~ just letting you know i've made copies of Kuu's nails in the cover of Japonesque (thought maybe you'd be interested?).

^ah I totally just saw them and shared everywhere :shughug You're amazing.


I don't really have issues with the summer best either :shrug

Then again, I loved releases like bounce & lovers...so meh. Maybe we'll get a nice photoshoot.

Where does the Queen of Bests title come from? I find it funny because in my eyes she definitely isn't a Queen for Bests... :')

Those are AMAZING! YOU are amazing! I really hope you make more Kumi nails :D

@Mayayu: Those nails are gorgeous! You did a really good work! ♥

Not sure if the BEST will be something big, I feel this will be something like Out works / Driving Hit's since it's the same price.

@Mayayu:
Your nails look absolutely awesome! :heart
Would love to get more Kuu nails from you as well. :yes

So at least one new song and an acceptable price.
Probably something to keep the public eye on her till she fully comes back.

Well, I think it started from the fact that after Best First Things, not that long after she released Best Second Session, though I don't really see that as a best album, since its all new material. They are also her highest selling albums. Then you have Bounce & Lovers, Third Universe (which was kinda useless imo) and Out Works Best. That's 5 best albums in a twelve year career. Third Universe was in 2010, so its been two years. That could be a long time or a short time, depending on your opinion.

Personally, the only Best album that annoyed me was Third Universe, as I feel they released it for the sake of releasing a best album during her 10th year, and it didn't have much desirable content if you had been buying previous albums. I really liked the releases of Bounce & Lovers and Second Session because they had new stuff, so I do look forward to what a summer Best could bring.


EDIT: Does anyone know if the DVD version of Live Tour 2005: First Things Deluxe Edition has any extra content over the version on Best Second Session?

^ Making of, interview with the dancers and staff, and the Second Session Release Party (actually a digest of the live) with a little piece of all the songs of the setlist.

This + I didn't really like Out Works Best, it had nothing new on it |:
