LOL, you just copied and pasted that from Honey Flash... Well, yeah, what I meant by me, is that you should credit me for finding the pics... But, yeah... Love these pics... So beautiful, I'm loving the Taboo era... :luv2

Luv ~Venus~ 7th October 2008 04:00 AM

The SCawaii cover is cute. I like the style she had with this shoot (I guess the hair really added more to that style I'm talking about). The WOOFIN' scan is very elegant and pretty. I like it alot although OLIVIA's was bettah. :bgiggle

I\'m sorry! I didn\'t know you took those pictures and scanned them with your own hand. I will credit you for doing that! Thanks so much! I really appreciate hard workers like you who will take pictures and scan these things for us fans :love

love in music 7th October 2008 04:09 AM

sorry luverofluv, i did find those pics myself though

anyways i like her with her long hair in the SCawaii cover but i agree, Olivia did do it better than her woofin girl pic

LuverOfLuv 7th October 2008 04:10 AM

Well, what I meant by credit is that, it would be nice if they credited Honey Flash or me, for finding the pics... I just thought it was funny that they just copied and pasted, I don't really care if you credit me or not, also I didn't scan the mag... :thud

Why?
Just because of the package?
I can't understand this then, the single is nearly perfect.

CDjapan shipped my copy of TABOO on monday.
I hope it comes tomorrow. *can't wait*

I will be getting the CD only as soon as stock comes from Japan & as soon as that happens I make my way to the local HMV to get it

1 of the best singles I come across this year <3

Sundae 8th October 2008 02:06 AM

That does look like kumi. I need better scans of those magazines pages. It doesn't look good from here. I can't get a good handle on the pose either.

AYU MUCH?!...really I thought it was a scan from Ayu's calendar at first until I saw you say it was kumi...it's not an ugly picture, it just looks like Ayu more than Kuu.

LacusClyne 8th October 2008 07:13 AM

that wig makes her look like ayu.....

anyway, my TABOO single is shipped today!

KarenPang 8th October 2008 07:17 AM

@ Me not buying the single issue:
Not that the package bothers me. Okay, fine I admit, 5% of the reason why I don't wanna buy the single is because I don't like the casing. But I suddenly felt that I wasn't looking forward to the DVD contents. AT ALL. So I decided to buy the CD Only one from the local HMV. But then, it suddenly struck to me that the CD+DVD version is surely gonna be cheaper than the CD Only one because the CD+DVD one is the Taiwan version while the CD only one would be the Japan version. So I've decided to get the single again. :P

Meat Pao 8th October 2008 12:12 PM

YES YES YES!! TABOO IS NUMBER 1 PPLZ!

21,740 x 1.75 = 38,045 !!!


EDIT: Yay immature Initiate. Meh i still have 5 dirty stars.

And the SCawaii scans are... no comments. And she seriously looks like some weird Ayu-mutant in the calendar scan. I hope it's due to the quality...

Looking all professional business woman-ish.

Finally came around to listening to TABOO. The beat is sick. Much better than the preview video played.

Always is probably the first ballad by Kumi that I like.

Great single this time around.

Lee_410 8th October 2008 09:08 PM

Fashion is not a strong point on Kumi...

Twinkle ! 8th October 2008 09:29 PM

taboo got in first day 38,045

that so great

maybe she got more than 125000 copies in weekly

quite low for debut sales

Considering the fact that it's her first day, #1, and she has sales like that to start off with, it really isn't that bad, I see maybe a little over 90k for the week total..if not that.

And for the lyrics when she says "many keys" I always thought she was saying "Males Kiss" with her funky engrish and such...lol

do it again 8th October 2008 09:45 PM

i hope ur right! this single is so good.
does anybody want to translate the oricon interview?

Wow. She does look a lot like Ayu in that calendar shot. But anways, I really am liking Always! I didn't listen to it until I recently downloaded the 320 Kbps rip of TABOO and wasn't really expecting much since most of the comments about it weren't too great but I really do like the song! Much better than ai no uta!

Princess Sohee 8th October 2008 10:41 PM

Horrible sales!

Thanks for that interview it was a really interesting read :yes

RikkuChii 8th October 2008 11:01 PM

Well, if the sales continue like the day TABOO was released, she could be selling quite well by the end.

Princess Sohee 8th October 2008 11:11 PM

The thing is, she isnt consistent or stable or whatever in sales. She\'ll sell 100k next week and drop to 20k the next. A lot of times she starts off at #1 for the first couple days as well and then drops lower and gets #2 or #3 weekly.

Twinkle ! 8th October 2008 11:14 PM

guys i think u see the sales is so bad !

i think it's not

she will sales in first week more than 100,000 copies

and the artist who sold more 100,000 he is perfect

and i see she will sold well more than MOON

Just when I was back to thinking you were hot, you go and look like Ayu. Not that I think Ayu's fug or anything, but I don't think she's hot.

It'll be okay. :shughug

I think the scan of that pic is okay despite her posing and looking like ayu. The only thing I don't about it is how her skin tone is (silly right! lol) I mean, I hate how they exaggerate her skin tone. One minute, she has this dark tan and next, she looks very pale, and then she looks light and just so on. I'm really confused about that. Why do that tend to do that to her? :dumbfound

She looks more man-ish to me. I don't like that pic of her. She looks so buff and I hate the pose. An instant no-no for Kuu.

Kumi does have a great fashion sense but it's her stylist that doesn't have it. I'm seen a lot fits that kuu has worn that I LUFF to have. I just think her stylist needs to be fired or at least get training. lol

i'm right ?

I think her sales are okay. MOON first day was a bit higher. I was hoping for a 50k first day. This is a great single and I would hate for her not to get #1...sorry but this is such a great single and pwns MOON to the max. I think she'll get the #1 spot overall with her first week sales being around the 80k-95k mark. Let's hope she does well over the weekend. :)

Well, sales for most are like that nowadays. I think MOON did particularly well because it was her 1st post-kingdom/scandal single, a ballad was the lead a-side, it was a-side with a triple b-side, and she did a lot of promotion for it. And since kuu doesn't really have strong competition this week, I think she'll maintain the #1 spot.

Strawberryfieldsforever 9th October 2008 03:44 AM

I want to buy her Kingdom album but I really love her "Heat" song but it can only be found on her Chase single. And you know how much single here costs like. It's even more expensive than a studio album rofl. Damn, I have too much CDs to buy these days..

Luv ~Venus~ 9th October 2008 04:59 AM

^Hmm, I don't remember ayu's 1st day sales being that low. Are you sure about that Twinkle!? lol Sorry, my memory is bad.

Side note: DOES ANYONE HAVE THE MP4 VERSION OF TABOO -ANOTHER EDITION- PV YET? I seriously want it now after seeing it on imeem. :weep

jeffycue 9th October 2008 05:53 AM

<3 TABOO... i held on until the CD was released. hahaha.

much like BUT for me... the B-side was just ok... typical ballad... but i bet it will grow on me much like Ai no Uta.

ill go get the PV now... to make me love TABOO even more! :D

the covers are also HOT... i think this is her hottest cover ever! very flirtly... it's next to FREAKY. XD

So sorry...LOL, it's my ringtone for my txt messages, and when people have said the song was speaking about homosexual things being taboo it made me think that's why she says "males kiss" but it turns out she DOESN'T say that...lol

AyUta 9th October 2008 06:56 AM

#1? That's awesome for Kuu :D The single definitely deserves it :heart

greggerz189 9th October 2008 07:01 AM

What's all this about TABOO -ANOTHER EDITION- PV?? Is it dirtier? ;P

Luv ~Venus~ 9th October 2008 07:21 AM

^:bchuck

It's just the other pv of Taboo. Sorry about that.....I didn't know the other name for the pv and I just went by what some type for the type of the pv. lol

freedreamer 9th October 2008 11:14 AM

does anyone have the OTHER VERSION of TABOO? or izzit already up?

Meat Pao 9th October 2008 12:22 PM

Omg xD Day 2's index is 4736. Now that's a huge drop.

ayumisrael 9th October 2008 12:54 PM

^
x->1->2 - Koda Kumi - 21,740 + 4,736 (x1.75) = 46,333

Huge drop and she's now #2 :(

I hope she will go up again.

it's going for S$19.95 , I probably will pick up a copy in time to come :D

that's quite cheap, normally the japan cd only are at least SGD$23 to SGD$28, think i will grab it too, coz i adore the songs and...the back cover....
just to support kuu for her REAL comeback!

Twinkle ! 9th October 2008 01:21 PM

ooh noo X_X
