Here goes the MU download link for Kumi at GIRL POP FACTORY
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=10DTNE9O

Really?I'm the complete opposite of that,I think she looks really fake like that.

well she seems the happiest when she's doing it. she's always smiling and having fun when she's being a **** lol

Thank you very much for the upload!

I still prefer her naked. It's like...her trademark.

Is it just me, or does TABOO get better every time you listen to it?

*listens again* =]

totally. :cool

^ ya...I just love the song more and more...a 'replacement' for 'BUT' last time

I <3 TABOO

yupz!! you just can't stop :lech

anyway, does anyone have her performance at A+Nation in HQ??

I thought she said that she didn't like it. Honestly, I think she's happy being all cutesy and still doing dance songs, but not being too revealing.

i love kumi best when she's being sexy and cutie like being sexy but acting cutie too like smiling and having fun with it

aww i'm watching music station and there's a countdown of like the best 111 love songs and ai no uta got 43 and in the corner kumi gets like SO excited and smiles and claps and it shows ayumi smiling at her and then moves to a-chan from perfume and she's singing to it. i thought it was really cute

edit: HEAVEN got 22 and i think kumi and ayumi are sitting next to each other because kumi starts smiling and clapping and ayumi says something to her i think because it goes right back to kumi. they're so cute

http://i36.tinypic.com/swb5hy.png

ayumi so mean! she make kumi cry and laugh at her :(

then they were doing a best collaborations on music station countdown and they showed kumi and boa singing the meaning of peace and kumi got all excited again and ayumi and her were talking and lol they are so cute u guys need to watch this

^ Do you have the download link to it? =p

so the TABOO performance at Music Station was hot!! i loved her outfit and dancing

It's not you. It does get better every time you listen to it :yes

What a lovely picture!
They are so cute together. I remember that they were also chatting on MS when Kuu performed Ai no Uta and Ayu performed t2m.

I second this.

EDIT: Here is the torrent to the performance: http://mullemeck.serveftp.org/jps_be...tails&id=48948

I don't agree. Did you see her documentarys from tours? Or her performing ballads? She's happy when she can do what she wants do to, singing, dancing, making people happy. To be sexy is just one aspect of it. And she is so cute when she is with her fans, her staff and her friends. :yes

Yeah, she said that once. It's like a love-hate relationship, on one hand she likes doing it, on the other it's the image Avex created for her. I think personally her greatest passion are ballads.
But I like her sexy songs so much. Both sides of her making her complete. The sexy and the cute.^^


Argh, how cute, I wanna see this! ;_; Kuu and Ayu, this is perfect for me.
Has anybody a non torrent link for it?

I love the fact that ayu and ku like each other very much ^_^.My 2 most favorite artists are getting along very well XD.

its really lovely to see ayu and kuu will chat together or even laugh together. i always thought that they are rival, hating each others. i'd like to see more laughter from them. and i'm still wanting the rumour "colloboration between ayu and kuu"

aw it's so sweet!! Ayu looks like a big sista for Kuu :love

@corvina
thanks for MS one!!
she's really getting better and better :yes

I think they never been rival
I read on the news couple years ago..
it's Ayu & Namie who are rival *if i'm not mistaken*

They were just rivals in terms of sales, they are still friend. The whole rival thingy came out when Black Cherry charted better than Secret.

Oooh I remember sending my friend on Myspace pics from that performance with Ayu and Kuu. I'll see if I can go track them.

Thanks Karen, will download now.

And found the pics. Although it's a different one a think. Anyone know were it's from?

http://i28.tinypic.com/2hx0dix.jpg

http://i30.tinypic.com/15ml0zm.jpg

ayu and ku were never rivals and ayu and namie were never rivals (namie was even seen attending at ayu's 2007 and 2008 tours and ayu never seemed negative towards namie or ku but the opposite).

The only rivals and the only people who make them rivals even if they are not rivals are fans.

It's from Music Station's October 2007 Special XD.

LOL it seems that ayu and ku are having fun together already twice on Music Station's specials.

Music Station.

Haha had a feeling it was from that. I found it on some Kuu hating site and saved it because I thought it was cute.

How ironic. :P

It's good to see that they're friends :)

but i do remember, in that news *i believe it's more than 5 years old news*, Namie was mentioned to say something like: Ayu is "make-up monster"
but again.. it's only news :D

@Karen
thanks for the links!!

LOL it was just a rumor someone made XD
It's not real and not even sound real tbh.

ayu called namie a monkey and namie called her make-up monster.
Yeah right.

yeah i meant rumor *not news* :P

anyway, does anyone have kuu's performance before GIRL POP FACTORY?
the one which she wore something like rainbow sexy outfit??

that's hot.....

it might not be a bootleg thouh, it seem to be one of the rerelease from china, theose are lisense with permission from avex.

^ I don't know... the avex logo is on it but the front picture is from the 12 Singles project and the back is from Best ~second session~ :/

I love those pictures of Ayu and Kuu together, they always seem to have a laugh together ^^

naw. its probably a bootleg.
it has pictures from second session and kiseki, the cd is black cherry, and the dvd is of the second session tour.
that doesnt really make sense to me.
and official chinese releases are of existing products. not just some random crap.
its not hard to put the avex logo on something.

It's a rather funny looking bootleg to me.

Today we oughtta get TABOO's single 320kbps leak :D

The 256kpbs leak of the single's already up & loaded via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=80842

a word of caution , if you don't like remixes , don't listen to the remix of TABOO , it's quite annoying :dead2

I had a headache after hearing it

thanks!!
can't wait for the HQ one!!

Thank you :D

I totally second this.
If someone has it, please upload :)

Yea can someone please upload/provide the link? :(

I'm neutral towards remixes, but it made me stop it after 1 min 30 seconds.

The remix is rather crazy hahaha...its ok..

i LOVE the instrumental!

lookie what i just got...

OMG you always get your stuff so early. I am so jealous! :grumpy

Back covers are amazing though. :heart

Double case for CD + DVD or simple one = = ?
AWESOME PIX <3

CD Japan usually ships a couple days early.

Guess I'll order from there instead of YA then. :D

The remix isn't bad by the way. Original version is much better though. :)

The backcovers of TABOO are really awesome!
Especially the CD-only, I really like her pose.

the booklets are really pretty. the cd booklet has pictures with the cd outfit and the cd+dvd has pictures with that outfit. i wish i had a better scanner so i could put it up.

Anyone who already got their copy can upload it in 320 kbps please? :D

I like the CD only back photo! (and cover).

uploading now :)

oh and both cases are the slim ones

Avex is really giving up on her, aren\'t they. So sad. :weep

you're awesome....again :laugh

thanks so much.



I have got to get scans of those back covers...

You are so awesome!
I love you :luv2

now i am regretting ordering this :weep she looks horrible on the back:no

I LOVE scenes with Ayu and Kuu..because I love both artists. It just feels right and cute and omg I love it. : D

OK listened to the full TABOO single. Short review time!!

1. TABOO 9.5/10
Really catchy and fun and a great theme. I only wish the intro was more 'accessible'. I don't like the tttssssSSSSS in the beginning much, and the intro is also rather boring. I also wish it had more adlipping, giving the song more energy. I feel the lives lack some energy too. It could really use some FREAKY-styled yells. :3 I'm happy it has a WEWWW in the last chorus though. The chorus is AMAZING, though. And the part between the chorusses with the I CAN'T HELP IT and the bridge is PERFECT, with the CA-CA-CAN'T STOP HOW I FEEL.
Concluding a near perfect song. I really hope this song gets #1 weekly!!

2. Always 7/10
Nice, cute song. I like the 'Allllwaaays'. I preferred my low bitrate version, though, which isn't a good thing lol, because the low bit rate had her vocals louder. I think she's kinda drowned in the instrumentals. Anyways, cute song, nothing amazing.

3. TABOO remix 6/10
I don't like remixes, because they're bland and boring, but because of the greatness of TABOO this isn't half so bad.

4. TABOO PV 9/10
Great addictive PV, I just wish there was more dancing and they'd cut the part out with the three German-ish women in the bed. It's the only boring scene that I hate to see the entire time. I'd rather see something else, like dancing. I LOVE the dancing scene with the two women. It's great! XD :D

ahhhh I want so much my copy of TABOO (>.<)
I hope I will get it really soon


LOVE THE BACK COVERS :luv2

omg i don't get it. almost every kuu remix i've heard is bad. the remixers really seem like they hate kumi..

her songs are very difficult to remix..

Does anyone have a translation of the lyrics for TABOO? I heard they're really interesting and fun. Plus after seeing the video, I definitely have to hear the message of the song!

ah lucky T_T

now all the more I want to get hold of the CD only when stock comes in :laugh
