Kuu is a pretty girl to me. Not drop dead gorgeous, but she can come off looking pretty stunning at times. She looks great in that A-nation pic. Yay for long hair!

I agree. That's usually when she looks her best.

exactly! her smile is so contagious, i love it :love

haha I was doing a review of the concert..... but well after a few songs written down, the conclusion is "ok".

XD and yea that's all. Best vocal: walk and also Moon Crying was lovely.

yup

the reason why Koi no Tsubomi 1st came into mind for me is because of your set haha

FInally Kingdom reach the peak sales
*9 *,608,561 ***,*** Kingdom / 倖田來未 08/01/30

I don't think she's all that pretty. She's only stunningly so with the right make-up on. But I think that her personality is really what adds to her appeal!

at least it still sold even more than Secret

er her 4th album I mean

I do think she is pretty, most of the time I mean. :yes

When I saw those pics of her performing Last Angel with Tohoshinki at their tour I thought it was gonna last. I dunno if this will last though. It ****ing better do though.

kumi generally doesn't have pretty face.
She has a nice body but nothing more than this.
She can look nice at times but this is the top for her imo.
Her face just aren't pretty. Her face structure is full and really round.
Unlike her face her music is awesome! :love

I wonder how the a-nation performances are.

rofl.

I know :weep

XD yeah I agree that sometimes she does look scary
like in the Anytime PV, above the pool, when she does those big smiles
:tired :shakehead


XD it's always like that with kuu, she has a great style
and the next thing you know, her style sucks....XD =X

A little harsh, Gretch.

that's mean and i so do not agree :no

I agree - kuu can look extremely gorgeous but she can also look so disastrous (ex. anytime) buuut - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder so whatever. That a-nation pic looks horrible as well but it's not even a good quality so..yea.

lies.

Kuu crying = sexysexysexy

^awwwww

I think Kumi is wicked pretty.

^That was funny, I like it almost as much as I like my own review of Moon XD

LMAO yeah.

ehhh I don't agree with their review of Once Again. I love that song. :grumpy

I sounded harsh yeah sorry if I offended anyone but that's my opinion I don't think her face are attractive but what's important is that I love her music and I think she's cute at times. XD
I hope she will release a single soon.

IMO, she's not pretty. But I do like some of her songs, though lately I found her style, her images her everything been changed to something really hypocrite. And yeah less clothes is always better for her.

:laugh

Review of the moon crying PV = gold.

k well if you compare her now to say...her H!P audition/TAKE BACK days then like she has improved ALOT :tipsy

Kuu is not particularly pretty, but she's definitely got sex appeal. And that's all that matters!

The Videos not on youtube anymore and I can't find it on veoh, dailymotion, or crunchyroll. T_____T

The "It's a small world" performance made me laugh like hell! Especially the dance! Looks like even the kids there weren't very amused...

WEET'S A SHMALL WORR AFTER WALL!

O_O

suddenly the back of my hair's standing already T_T

75th MOON CD + DVD edition

Oh gosh, what does it matter what she looks like? It's her music we listen to, not her face. :D And actually I find Kuu kind of pretty myself. Especially when she smiles, it's so beautiful. And her eyes are pretty. I'd say Kuu wasn't so pretty back in affection era, but nowadays she is very pretty imo. :)

to me looks are secondary . No point having a pretty face but your music's crap to begin with .

If Koda somehow got disfigured & etc *touch wood* I will support her

Seriously, it's all about the music with Kuu... some people are very shallow!

Exactly, as I said her music is awesome!

*Going to listen to my favorite album of kumi, grow into one*

I still don't understand how people think she's ugly.

But yeah music comes first and she does make good music so.

Koda Kumi's definitely not ugly, but the entertainment industry is filled with pretty girls, so by comparison, she seems ugly, but isn't actually so (compared to the average person on the streets).

Your right but I thinks she's one of the prettiest in the Japanese music industry.
Everyone has different opinions.

^ i agree with you!

I think she is cute.

Btw, it was funny in some way. I got hit my cars twice while I listening Koda's music....
She seems have a myth power to pull me in her music.

:rolleyes

^ lol
how can someone be ugly and have sex appeal?

Their bodies can still be sexy and they can have an attracting personality, which I think Ku has.

rofl

yeah but if you got a busted face doesn't that ruin the whole thing?
*notsayingkuuisbusted*

Perhaps.

i think she's way prettier in like her concerts or lives than she is in pictures... that's why i love watching her concerts so much, because she looks pretty much flawless. even if she wears terrible outfits... she still looks great.

but she also does have a ton of beautiful pictures as well, especially for her singles/albums. there's only a handful of them that i don't like, and they're all her covers pre-BEST~first things~

I think Kuu is gorgeous in pictures.

See honestly, Kumi is always pretty, up until she smiles.

i partially agree, because i think sometimes her smile is pretty when it's nice and natural, but when she does her huge grins her face just looks scary. :(

Yeah, that's true!

Like, in your signature, she looks fine!

No nightmares induced there!

i love the koi no tsubomi video so much because she smiles throughout like the whole thing and looks adorable! but sometimes she does smile too hard and it just looks bad. same thing with me though i think i look so bad when i smile too hard.

Excuse me but I don't really appreciate you rolling your eyes at me! Very rude and not hip or cool!

Butterface! That's why Fergie and Kuu are such a perfect East-meets-West pair~

yup & talking about the Koi no Tsubomi PV , she looks great in all the getup going on in there

I know, right! That sig is so adorable!

I really like this pic of her too, so pretty. :yes

http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/1028/7907899hp6.jpg

^ aww where was that from ? I never seen it before

That was from last year around FREAKY/RFYL time. :)

Yes, I'm sure.

Wow, that isn't her best face is it?
At least the long hair is back (I guess not for long) which makes me happy. I really want to see the rest of her outfit(s)

Kuu can't dress.
She should really fire her stylist.



.... With make up I think she is pretty but without make up, well, without make up she is probably one of the most fugliest things. No offense Kuu, I still love you.


That review is gold.
It's so Nacho.

Oricon 2008

Albums:

Are you ****ing serious? ROFL

Please no masked cursing on the forums please! It is not appreciated hear ok... that type of action is not hip or cool!

Also I'm very sad to see that Kingdom stopped charting :weep

Kingdom stopped charting already??
I'm shocked I thought it would have a longer chart run >_<.

The MOON review almost made me die, seriously! HAHA! THE DRESS WASN'T MY SIZE!!

wow she has went back to the real emotion era style? i dont really like it though

hopefully better pics will surface real soon cos it's not fair to take a dig on her based solely on a LQ 1

Do we already know what songs she REALLY performed?

Sadly I don't know. :( I find that annoying.

Moon Crying dropped 1 notch from last week no.5 to no.6 this week at the Top10 J/Kpop singles in Taiwan according to MTV Taiwan as part of their weekend J/Kpop chart show

^Why is it still so high?!

haha :laugh

well I don't really know how the chart works like in Taiwan though

There wasn't any mention how certain songs move up or down the chart unfortunately

the odd thing was that whenever they play Moon Crying on the chart show , they put Moon in the opening/ending credits & not Moon Crying

weird

still in the top 10 ? (O__o)
I'm sure it's not the case in japan...:innocent :laugh

that's in Taiwan , Minna , not Japan

hi guys i m uploading the complete kuu talk part on this forum for the true fans but i need our help. a lot of them are missing to my collection so if u have some please pm me your link or add them in the tread . im trying to makes her tread as complete as possible . thank u all for reading .

that's what I said :laugh
that is in Taiwan and I'm sure that in japan it didn't stay in the top 10 for long...:laugh

=X

ooh ok sorry for that

has anyone been able to watch the tv version of Kingdom tour???

i'm in the process of downloading and wanted to know what people thought.

^ there's mixed feelings on it, but i personally love it. i can't get some of the performances out of my head! i think my favorites were the cutie honey performance and then the medley! i love what she did with shake it up in it. i loved the entire third segment of it too, with her braids and the silly outfit. she's so cute.

Yes, CH was the best, IMO :heart

I liked it. I love the new disco-y feel she added to 'Shake It Up.'

I always like it whenever she did CH live

especially the 2 different takes on the song in the BC tour

I love the jazzy feeling inspired version to CH :luv2

Where can I download the NON-torrent version of the TV version of Kingdom tour?

Someone split the songs and they posted on HF. But it's on MU, quality isn't that good too, not to mention that only the first part and the ballads segments are the only ones up.

I wish Koda would start looking pretty again. I know that sounds horrible, but the way she wears her hair and makeup ruins her natural beauty. :P

i sort of agree. i was getting tired of her short black hair. i hope she keeps it long for a while now, it just makes her look so much better. :yes

I like her short and very blonde hair! FREAKY hair is the best hair!

i like her hair the best in the BEST ~second session~ era the most, but the FREAKY platinim was good too, it looked worse whennit got darker

I liked her hair in the Secret era.

ps new username :)

:yes

somehow she doesn't really look good in dark hair to me but it's growing on me

It's so strange, she's one of those asian people who just look weird with their natural black hair!

now that you mention it , yes Triple D

it's quite strange

Am I the only one here who thinks she looks better with dark hair? :P I dunno, she's pretty tan naturally, and the really platinum blond look in RFYL and Anytime makes her look really washed out IMO.

I just uploaded Kuu's performance at National Anthem - Japanese All-Star Game MP3 at SB
video will be up soon I guess

link

She's a natural beauty ..? :think that's new for me.

Oh yes, I like that hair too :yes
But I still think that the Hot Stuff hair and the BUT/Aisho hair are the best.

latest sales MOON
78　*40　**1,267　*,132,002　*7　倖田來未 「MOON(Moon Crying/That Ain't Cool/Once Again/Lady Go!)」

she looked damn fly & hot in the Hot Stuff PV & also in Candy too

gotta love those hair extensions going in the Candy PV , all the 3 hairstyles that she sported on there are :love

Livedoor has listed New single Kuu but the date still unknown
http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi...1197906066/l50

about time for a new single , it's kinda long overdue

I hope it's true.
Hopefully it won't be a lame single like MOON

FREAKY PT2 PLZ.

seriously? please be true and an upbeat song! :P

no... i need another 4 hot waves...

hmmm...watching Kingdom Tour and I just got to the Last Angel part and I must say that I like the Kumi-only version much more than the Tohoshinki version :P

me too 4 hot wave was amazing

just like FREAKY , for MOON's case , I only enjoyed the songs that didn't received PVs on its own more than the singles that did :( except for Run For Your Life which I like

haha :laugh

told you so
