Oh, that's REALLY great in my opinion! I'm totally buying one the next, I didn't expect it to have so many things

^that best live dvd pic should have been the cover as well. She looks so damn fine there.

I hate to say it, but after listening to all the new material I feel like it's gonna be my least favourtire Kuu's album. Out of all the songs I'm only really liking WOML & Hotel. And it's not like I'm disliking the quality of the songs, it's just the album sounds so western for obvious reasons. I wanna hear more Japanese composers on the album.

And wth that new bear looks atrocious. Koda Kuma was so cute.

Omg that like it or whatvever, fucking tragic. How annoying can you possibly make a song? Seriously? That background? Those noises? Get your shit together girl. Her sound has become more desperate.

Where were they hiding that tshirt? Its almost 9 years old o.o !!! Ive gotten one happy box in 2006 or 7..wish i could get this one :(

This is what I got:

Spoiler:

-a.nation 2006 shirt
-a-nation 2011 small pouch
-a-nation 2013 neon backpack
-a-nation 2013 sports towel
-Dejavu Tour 2011 photo frame
-Japonesque Tour 2013 acryl bracelet
-Premium Night ~Love & Songs~ (2012) Kuma keychain
-Let's Party Vol. 2 (2013) big bath towel

I'm so happy about the rare 2006 a-nation shirt and the Let's Party towel!
All in all I've got 3 things double.
Though I'm a bit sad it's all pretty old stuff.
I actually hoped for some more recent merchandise (more from Let's Party Vol.2 or Bon Voyage Tour e.g.!).
But it's a great mix of different stuff.

Thank you so much for sharing what you received in your Happy Box! I'm still waiting for mines to arrive so I'll post what I received just in case I got different merchandise!

indeed, it is hardly a song... it is very weird. Can't really sing along and the video is just as interesting.
Despite all, it gets stuck in my head quite easily. :p ~uuh like-ee like-ee, uuh like-ee like-ee~

ANd she's calling it "the challenge album" herself in that description.
PLus she's saying there's no JPop in the album.

Could somebody please explain to me how the music doesn't qualify as JPop?
What qualifications are there? :shakehead

I really love the overall feel of this era, even if I'm not really feeling the songs. Her look, the PVs. Love.

I cracked and bought the Blu Ray edition for the cover

Sorry for the ofd topic, but OMG I hadn't recognized you without the sifow set :roflmao I felt like "someone new on Kuu's thread? Nice!" and then I saw you on the feel my mind ballads pool and it sounded pretty much like something you once said, and then I looked at your username and "OH!" :laugh

How has no one talked about the Gimme U preview up on her website? This is easily the best one so far.

^ It has just came out hahahaha Really liked it, but PIECE IN THE PUZZLE is still my favorite

I guess that by saying there's no JPop in the album she means music created by Japanese composers? So it would be Western stuff, only sang in Japanese

Might be just a tad bit late, but I've just watched the "Like It" PV & I absolutely 'like' it, alright! :luv2 :D

I loved everything about the PV! :love The dancing was probably the best part & completely made the video just so good. :D Kuu looked incredibly fierce throughout the whole video. :heart And those stunts she did (like those backflips) were incredible & so cool, too! Totally loved this PV, so much! And I'm in total love with the song, too. :heart It's so catchy & so fabulous!

Gimme U

Finally, i found the song i loved from this album after hopelessly released ones

Wow a kumi album where Im ok with most songs. is this her most consistent album to date? :O

There's a good chance I may become a fan of hers with this album.

Is it me or all the previews and released songs from this era have in common the loudly, repetitive vocals in the chorus? As for the jpop discussion, I don t mind that she decided to do a full on western album with japanese vocals as long as I get to enjoy the tracks. 6 more days to go but I bet that in 2-3 days we ll have a leak. maybe even sooner hopefully.

so far I'm interested in this album. by previews, it sounds more fun, I like the promo pictures and the goods too :)

The credits of the album. Probably missing some names.

Spoiler:

Now that's a lot of people involved in writing an introduction :roflmao
