man, she's got the whole, asian urban cute thing goin on lol

@identity: it's probably that light brown color everyone dyes their hair lol

I'm pretty sure 万 means thousand, not million, and even so, do you realize how many people 4,000 MILLION is? That's 4,000,000,000... 4 billion. XD I don't think 2/3 of the world's population voted for this.

LOL yeah.. it's probably just 4,000.

omg emiko you got rid of the color in your avatar.. that's one of the best parts of that pic!

ooh yeah I just realised Sabrina removed all the colours from her Kumi Kuu avater D:

but Black & White pics are nice to me so :D

Each "best album" is ALWAYS just a single collection - nothing more. I wouldn't expect that Driving could be included - it was released already at normal album and collection album, besides it's just a regular track. However I feel that Aisho should be included :(

I saw a tracklist of UNIVERSE at JPM yesterday. I'm sure Faraway was included. Is that mean they canceal it or what? Honestly I don't care about Faraway - I want to hear new songs than old songs I don't even like.

My question is... WHERE IS A FULL STUDIO VERSION OF TRICK??? I beg you Avex, put it as Bonus Track on First Press :tired

万 means 10 thousand. So it's 40 million.


This. :(

it can also mean people... i think?

延べ4,000万人※が楽曲を聴いた最強アルバム!
total of 4,000 people listened to music for the best album!

万人
noun
all people
all people
pronoun
everybody
everybody

the only way 40 million would make sense if they would take like... 40 million of her chaku-uta downloads and pick the highest selling songs... how else could they get 40 people to vote for their favorite songs without it being announced anywhere... do 40 million people even care about KUMI? lol

Cutie!

haha I know...I have a version that's color...but I like the black and white for the moment...

this is actually a slightly different picture lol

and 40 million people! Isn't that like a fourth of the entire population of Japan?

lol I think it's just 4,000...an interesting 4000 as well...so the fan club didnt know about this either?

Wait, what's happening? :shakehead What about 40 million...er, thousand? o_o

@Edu: Thanks! she looks cute! i love her outfit & shoes

I just happened watching her Let's Party vol. 1 (it was released before TRICK if i'm not wrong)
It's the top 5 songs that her fans in Yokohama chose (for best PV, song you want to listen while driving, best dance song, song that you want to listen with someone you like)

And most of the songs on the BEST ~3rd UNIVERSE~ are in the top 5
Koi no Tsubomi
Ningyo-hime
With your smile
BUT
FREAKY
girls
Ai no Uta
anytime
Moon Crying
So, it does make sense now that the songs were chosen based on fan-choice
and yeah, it's 4,000 not 4 million or 40 million

the tracklist I saw for UNIVERSE , faraway was axed out X_____X

& yeah the full version of TRICK is not in too ;_____;

it might be the bonus track ?! :dead2

aaaaa! it makes a lot of sense! then the whole Let's-Party-tour thing was for that? for her next real best?

EDIT::

it actually says 40,000,000 people. O__O
from Highway-Chance at jpm:

mmh then maybe cutieismylife is right with this:

Highway-Chance know japanese so believe in her :yes
