I don't really think Amai wana is a ballad.

I think that Kingdom and Trick both had really good flow and the tracks all seemed to compliment each very well. On UNIVERSE I think maybe because it was bundled with Best 3 that it doesn't really feel like an album and more like a 2nd disc of new bonus tracks.

i don't know why but UNIVERSE has become my all-time favourite album. even after months of spamming it out i'm not sick of it. all her previous albums i got tired of after a few months but still love anyways. but i have to admit i skip Lick me a lot and It's all Love! always lol the latter song i cannot stand anymore (thank you misono)

i really think her upcoming album is going to be amazing. it's already shaping up to be great with the singles so far.

Introduction For Kingdom -> LAST ANGEL = Good flow? Lolno. anytime -> Under = Lolno. FREAKY -> Wonderland = Lolno

Not as bad as Hearty... -> SHAKE IT -> Kesucki -> Trust you though. secret had some terrible flow. Same for grow into one. Pearl Moon -> Nasty girl. LOLWAT

I've just ended watching PREMIUM LIMITED LIVE IN HALL and omg I love Through the sky even more. :luv2 Your Song was decent too!

Speaking of Kuu's albums, how would you rank them? From most to least favorite.

My list looks like this:

1. secret
2. BEST ~second session~ and Kingdom
3. feel my mind and Black Cherry
4. UNIVERSE
5. affection
6. grow into one
7. TRICK

There isn't any single song on secret I don't love. It's her most perfect album to date and I don't care about other opinions. :laugh
BEST ~ss~ and Kingdom are awesome too, I just don't like 1-2 songs from this album.
feel my mind and Black Cherry... Containing strong single and good non-single tracks, but I found a few 'WTF' songs on them. I still can't get into Hana and sweet love..., and I don't need like 357560434 versions of WON'T BE LONG (I'd prefer a solo version of LAST ANGEL, thank you). Puppy, GO WAY! and Twinkle aren't enjoyable for me too.
I have the biggest problem with UNIVERSE, with one listen I love it, with the next I get bored... That's why it's in the middle and has a neutral judgement from me. For a while. Maybe it'll be changing.
affection is solid, I like all songs, but it's just out of date... it's the same story like with BoA's LISTEN TO MY HEART.
grow into one is so boring for me... I can't understand how those amazing songs from singles are with that bland rest together. one and To be one are my hidden jems though.
TRICK is the only album I was that much disappointed with. I know, there are some epic tracks, but... For me the others have more of them, ok? It's the only album containing songs which made me ****ing annoyed - Your love and Joyful. I love almost entire Kuu's discography and even if I don't like so much some songs they don't make me want to kill myself. Except those two. Some tracks on TRICK would be more "polished", too. And I lost a half of my love for Moon Crying so I don't have any regrets to put this album on the bottom. It isn't her very latest album fortunately, so I'm pretty optimistic about upcoming album.

Songs which are in my ultimate favorites list are here and there, actually on every album, so don't think I really hate the least ranked albums with a passion or something. They just weren't solid and enjoyable in listening to me. Kuu's music has been and will be on a high level. :heart

1.) TRICK
2.) Kingdom
3.) UNIVERSE
4.) Black Cherry
5.) secret
6.) grow into one
7.) affection

I don't count BEST ~second session~ as a studio album. But if I did it'd be around 3-4.

^ Oh I just think that it's a best album only for name. However, it's personal opinion. If I'd rank all albums, with BESTs too, BOUNCE & LOVERS would get to the 1st place along with secret :laugh I'm really enjoying her ballads. B&L has amazing selection of songs and amazing new arrangements. :heart

1. Kingdom + Driving Hit's 2.5 :lech
2. BEST ~second session~
3. TRICK
4. UNIVERSE
5. Black Cherry
6. Secret
7. grow into one
8. Feel My Mind

UNIVERSE is my favourite album from Kuu, I love every single track ^_^

Wow, I've never considered placing her albums in order that I like them. It's hard! (Not counting the bests...)

1) Secret
2) Black Cherry
3) TRICK
4) feel my mind
5) grow into one
6) Kingdom
7) UNIVERSE
8) Affection

I really tend to love her older stuff more than her newer stuff. I first discovered Kuu right after she released Secret, so I got into all her older stuff first and just loved it! :heart

Mine :)

1. UNIVERSE
2. Kingdom
3. TRICK
4. Black Cherry
5. secret
6. grow into one
7. feel my mind
8. affection

1. TRICK (by far)
2. UNIVERSE
3. Best: Second Session/Kingdom

That is all.

My favourite (and the only one) album is Black Cherry :luv2

I just can't get into Black Cherry... I've tried so many times, I hate like EVERY track.

:luv2

that's the 1st album I listened & owned of Kumi

it still brings back a lot of great memories for me when I began my jpop music journey some 4 years back :thud

I don't have all of her albums yet lol

but from the ones I have:



1. TRICK
2. UNIVERSE
3. Black Cherry
4. Kingdom
5. secret

1. Best ~second session~
2. grow into one
3. Kingdom
4. TRICK
5. secret
6. UNIVERSE
7. Black Cherry
8. feel my mind
9. affection

I can't place them in an order. There is at least one track from each album that stands out so much & it makes it harder for me to choose.

Black Cherry is probably at the top, though.

BTW, I freaking LOVE Hey Baby!! Need full song NAO.
