So, I made those covers a couple of weeks ago and I was going to release all of them together, but since I won't be able to do this I'll post what it's done so far.
It's a project called QUEEN OF LIVE with all the live albuns together in a box. I like to have all the concerts on my itunes, so I decided to do this to have the albuns with the same cover style. I hope you guys like it!

^ thats amazing... I have some photoshop skills... but none like that!!! I am jealous!

Are we gonna get one for second session? Cant wait lol!

I want to listen to Shake Hip in full asap ! I have a shake to hip !!

I just had a dream fanclub posted we will get news on January 9 LOL. I'm dying over here. :thud

that box would be an amazing thing!

I just died a little inside :thud:love:luv2

Nooo, that's too far :laugh I want it asap omg

Amazing as always :thud I love all of your new covers, and the idea is so amazing *I remember I was like WOOOAAH when I saw this on tumblr some weeks ago and though for a second it was true*

guys, the release date of the cover album is out already? I've read it's 2.27

Yes we've known the 2.27 date for a week or so now. Waiting for the covers, title, and track listing now.

*sobs* why are you so damn cool?

kaled. I come to this thread (actually the whole forum) for two things: kumi news and your artwork. amaaaaaazing stuff <3

it would be great if avex releases this but in blu-ray. a collection of all her live tours/special concerts :heart

btw LOVEE the trick tour cover

kaled kalil did an amazing job on the covers!

"A cute video of Koda Kumi with Olympic silver medalist Ishikawa Kasumi!!☆☆

Kasumi, along with her teammates Fukuhara Ai and Hirano Sayaka, took home the silver medal for table tennis at the 2012 Olympics♡

19-year-old Kasumi is a Koda Kumi fan and attended the singer's celebration at Budokan on November 13th. Koochan decided to surprise the young medalist after her performance when Kasumi was asked for an interview.

It turns out that the interview was to get Kasumi to meet her favourite artist~♡ She's star struck when Kuu shows up and Koda Kumi is equally star struck, giving much praise to the medalist's skills."

Watch video here: http://www.facebook.com/video/video....65879576873634

Such a cute video! I wish I knew what they were saying!

So cute omg :heart And I envy this girl so much :laugh

KUMI IS KLASJDKLSJADLKSAD *_* I LOVE HER PERSONALITY <3

Adorable video!

They were both very nervous XD

I'm late to the party but I just heard the Koishikute single and I think it's her best winter single and her best winter song :heart

Really cute~ I want to meet Kumi like that too :laugh I'd be all surprised too, I would even cry :laugh

thank you!
I was wondering where did all these funny screencaps on peeproom came from :)

no one is ever late to the kuu party :heart

Ugh where the hell is Pink Spider

It hasn't quite yet crawled out of her Spread Beaver.

So many things has happened while I was playing Final Fantasy XIII. Gotta download and watch everything tomorrow then. :D

If I dont get the covers and tracklisting for this album in less than 24 hours I may go mad

I hope the covers are better than the ones for the first cover album. Those ones were meh.

whaaaaaaaaaaat, those were classy and elegant

I loved them actually *~*

we better get cover album info today.....

When can we expect KUULASICAL ~the orchestra remixes~? I need Kuurchestra music now.

Kumi and orchestra is heaven. Can't believe she doesn't have more mixes. omg imagine a No way orchestra version a;sldk;asl

i think we'll get the cover album annuncement this or next week...
mostly around a thursday, i think it's mostly used to be her anouncement day of the week...

can't wait for covers, title and tracklist!
i wonder if we'll get 12 tracks again or even more!?
the reason we get a photobook with the limited box edition should be maybe foreshadowing a gorgeous photoshoot!
idk why, BUT i have this feeling the covers/booklet will be very classy in some sexy way!!

and can't wait for her other cover songs...
at the moment it looks like it will be like an upbeat version of ETERNITY!!

a KUULASSICAL album would be awesome, i'm a sucker for orchestrated music!
BUT i would even more prefer an album with a remix album with her Live Tour versions...
i mean come on...
Shake it Up (Electro Remix Kingdom Tour)
BUT (Electro Remix TRICK Tour)
Crazy 4 u/Imasugu Hoshii/Butterfly (Jazz Version)
Cutie Honey (Rnb Version)
the glorious real Emotion (Rock Version Black Cherry Tour)
Cherry Girl (Live Band Version)
Kiseki (Acoustic)
Koi no Tsubomi (House Version)
etc bla bla
i'd die 4 TIMES in a row!!

ya'll know 2012 was a great year of music, BUT i think 2013 will be even more awesome!!
i mean we get Kuu and Ayu and let's think about all the other stuff we don't know yet in japanese music!! (except loads of Kuu singles [includes a new summer single], 1 studio album, Beach Mix 2 and i believe A BEST 3 for Ayu's 15th Anni.)
and then we'll getting so much good english stuff...
GaGa, Brit, Beyoncé, MutyaKeishaSiobhan, The Knife, Azealia Banks, Rökysopp and much more!

^ lol u think 2 much omg

Kuulassical would be a awesome release imo. Especially if they put these on it:

01 Rain (unplugged live version from Live Tour 2005)
02 TAKE BACK (FANTASIA Acoustic Quitar Ver.)
03 Kiseki
04 Ai no Uta
05 Suki de, suki de, suki de
06 Koi no Tsubomi
07 Your Song
08 darling
09 Always
10 No Man's Land (would be epic!)
11 Gentle Words
12 I'll be there

In this order for sure. :D And yes, it's very ballad filled one because I think most of her faster songs just doesn't really fit classical genre. Her ballads, on the other hand, are always epic as acoustic ones imo. :D

//Oh, and I just watched Go to the top performance from Kouhaku. Kuu really slayed everything and everyone else with that performance. Another proof who's the Queen of Live♥

oh guys i realized some days ago that it's like only 2 month til i see Kuu... #timeflies
i'll take many photos of the concert outside (and inside if i'm sneaky enough) and let u know everything from setlist to her pants! :P

yes ur right!
i just woke up, comin' home from my boyfriend, so maybe thats why it's too much fuzzy bla bla...
i'm not a morning person… lol

mte :yes

I don't really care about an orchestra album, but I would love an album with the remixes from the lives too! Ima sugu hoshii from Second Session Tour is even better than the studio version.

^Personally I prefer the sexy R&B version from the album, but the jazzy live version isn't bad either. However, a live remix album would be very nice but I love Kuu and her acoustic versions too so much that I wouldn't mind getting a Kuulassical either. :)

As long as something epic happens with "No Way" idgaffff. I always thought Kuu releasing an orchestrated -- or hell, even just a jazz -- album would be a pretty solid release. I'd buy it right away. Her voice is quite warm and suits that style nicely, IMO.

Kuu + Jazz = WIN.

^ Totally -v-

Oh avex where's the ****ing info, come oooon

A Jazz and Orchestra classical remix album would actually be really cool with Kuu's songs, I like the idea! It's a shame she's never done it. :)

And yes, I am waiting anxiously for more info on the cover album! Why do I have a feeling the next bit of info, with the release of the title, will be when they show the covers? It seems a more glamorous way to do it.

This. :thud

yesssssss to Jazz + Kuu. A million times yes!

Yes, a Jazz remix album would be awesome. Kuu's voice suits the genre so well, I really love the Time Heals version of Saigo no ame. It makes the song so much better than the original version on Gentle Words imo. ♥

Kuuazz+Kuurchestra REMIX, yesplz

idk about orchestral tbh....

but jazz like what JUJU did with her cover album would be amazing

Such an underrated song. I grew to love it recently.

KUULASSICAL is the best title ever :laugh

Looks like the info for the cover album will be up on playroom in the next 24 hours [or less, I'm terrible with these time changing thing] OMG AT LAST

Aaaaaand

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news2/201...l-for-one.html

MUSIC FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE is gonna be broadcasted next month! Hope we get at least three perfomances (:

I don't really like the you-feel-Lies-Someday story she did for second session lol

idk about the stories, since most were kinda typical....I hated Lies ending :(

but those songs are the cream of crop, Lies is officially my fave Koda Kumi song of ALL TIME...all time

and Someday is second

^ OMG someone else loves Lies too?! Everyone says it sucks, so I was wondering if I was the only one :heart

How can someone hate Lies? It's epic as hell. I personally adore that song and I'm still hoping for a live performance. I would love that. 8D

How can someone hate Lies? [2]

Lies is epic!!! I really like it along with No Regret, Someday, DDD and Ima Sugu Hoshii from second session.

Never cared about you or feel though, I mean, I just can't like those songs :/

その后も、Butterfly、恋のつぼみ、爱のうた等、様々なジャンルで数々のヒット曲を生み出した彼女 が、2010年に10周年を记念してカバーアルバムを発売し、そして再び、今年13周年目を记念してカバー アルバムを発売する。

i can say i like most of the songs and can't wait what Kuu will do to them!!:)

lol i like how kuu rethought her outfit for kouhaku and yet these are the pictures we get for this. DON'T PRETEND YOU AREN'T A SEXY WOMAN, KUU. YOU ROCK IT.

ooh, i like how we're getting an original track as the second-to-last song on here :3 wonder what that is?

OMG *DEAD*

and thanks for the original songs links Gubsi, saves me a lot of time

She looks amazing! Has any photo of her babe leaked out? ^^

OH MY GOD

Oh, how sad there is no Shoujo A and only 3 PVs :(

BUT THOSE PICTURES ARE AMAAAAAAZING :heart :heart :heart They're so... so... Kuu! hahahahahahaha

With Alone, Shake Hip! and Pink Spyder I only know two songs on this tracklist, but ONE OF THEM IS UTA WA WAGA INOCHI, SHE WAS AMAZING SINGING THIS IN TOKYO DOME DEAR LOOOORD

I really hope there is a PV with similar costumes and scenarios to those from the promo pics, like she did with So Nice. They're too amazing to be wasted only on pics :P

EDIT

THE CM :thud

omfg yes!!!!!

Sooooo excited!!!

Kuu has again proved her epicness, my eyes!! :luv2

Her site has a bigger pic and a new one :)!

^what is this slayage i can't...
too much for me right now!
already ordered at CDJapan!! :love:love

she looks like pink in the last one!

omg she's soo damn hot I can't :thud

hey the emo model guy from kouhaku is in it :laugh


and blah. She's the best. Everyone else can suck it.

ordered!

Found another :)

http://imageshack.us/a/img703/6793/bannerkyu.jpg

he's everywhere in japan atm :thud

I guess this is good for kuu, collaborating with these famous people :love

I'm super excited!! Thanks kuu for making 2013 sooo amazing already :yes

omg saving all those pics they're flawless

And it's so strange popping up all those promo pics without the definitive title for the album lol

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH TO EVERYTHING, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! :heart It all looks SO epic! :love Shake Hip! Is also getting a PV, eeeee <3

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCD-59333

Just ordered mine. <3

I'm PRAYING for an OS press of the limited edition with the photobook... DAMN there better be one

And not a single flaw was found in this project.
A little sad about the tracklist tho, but everything is looking so damn good that I can forgive her.

Gubsi, where did you get the pic in your avatar? That one is not posted here

^ It is from her facebook page, that's the new avatar pic (: Here it goes, in case you want it

http://i45.tinypic.com/8zeosi.png

Pre-ordered the CD+DVD+PB at CdJapan, but if they release a OS version of the limited one, I'll get it

thats not him, idk who this guy is but not him

and that dude is named Louis Kurihara, and seriously how is he a model...18 and he looks 30

anyway OMG :thud

it looks amazing but still on the fence since NinaMika to me is mostly misses when it comes to her work

wait, are those for the upcoming cover album?

@setsuka: oh it's not?

...yeah I think you're right.

And then I was like "but wait they have the same mole!" But this guy's mole is higher than Louis' lol

bad telling apart people skills.

Yep :yes

That is my translation of the trailer, including all the names (except one I couldn't find...) and links to their websites / profiles / wikis :) Reblogging from me is obviously allowed, if you want to share my translation to other websites that's 100% fine but please link to that post! Cheers.

Ordered mine.. Im excited for this!!! I dont own her first cover album..but this one seems to have alot more pizzazz than the other one (will get the first one later lol)!!!

Pre-ordered mine as well, I can't wait already! :heart

http://i48.tinypic.com/9i9u88.png

http://i47.tinypic.com/9a3hg3.png

Omg these pictures :thud :thud :thud

Dying...dying...and I'm dead :luv2

I knew that Kuu would deliver some amazing pictures!

Thanks for the translation! If I got it right, then the Pink Spyder PV director is also the art director for the cover album? This may explain all this colorgasmic pics then :P

Hey everyone... I have a random question..can anyone here buy from yahoo japan auctions???? I found something I have lost and this is the only place i found them..

THANKS :)!

totes pre-ordering after my birthday next week!!!

God, Ayu really needs to get with Kumi's team.

imma need someone to make fab iPhone 5 wallpapers... Kaled I'm lookin at U!!! :)

OMG. This cover album. Its going to be in my every thought. I'm loving everything right now. Every single detail. Damn, Kuu.

You can try a buying service such and Tenso White Rabbit, or From Japan. I'm doing my first ever transaction with Tenso right now, so I don't have any reviews. From Japan lets you search auction sites right from their page, so maybe that would be better? But, I'm not sure how to use them.

Ill search it.. too bad the auction end like in a day haha. There is a buyee website..but Im just so skeptical about buying stuff then having a company send it to me.. O_O

but this is what im looking for http://ahsforum.com/forum/showthread...24#post2961524..

(i got a feeling tomorow I will be adobe photoshopping it up even more on these pics!!!)

Well, I'm giving negative feedback about Tenso right now, because their site isn't very clear. I accidentally paid more for a service that I don't need. Like $20 more. If they don't fix the problem I'm going to be very upset.
