Over dramatic much?? Lol
Totally agree I always cringe when I see that scene haha
Still I find the PV cute to watch, some of her expressions are so sweet.

I love Suki de. The song is so nice to sing. Especially love the dramatic last chorus!
The cover of the single is still part of my favorites. Especially the +DVD one. So much sadness in one pic!

I cant look at the covers of suki de and not remember the fandom wars cause ayu's crossroad was released in the same week lol Good old times :laugh

Suki de x3 and Ai wo tomonaide really are among her best covers

Hey guys I ripped kumi's MY NAME IS... tour from the TV version to mp3. In case anyone wants it here it is. DL (I only skipped, the clip before puff, the dance part, and the MC).

That single is still a triple threat... suki de is good, anata dake ga is straight FIRE and walk to the future is amazing...

Anata dake ga will never get old :heart

I always have a special spot towards Suki de x3 / Anata Dake ga cos all the PVs inclusive of the B-side had PVs made and it was a nice story put together from all the 3 videos

Suki de x3 / Anata Dake ga obviously wasn't the 1st Kuu utilised a drama story plot for her singles but it was quite rare that both A-sides of hers were ballads as normally if you put out double A-side singles , they tend to contrast each other but not for this

The whole Suki de era was fun. The legendary Ichikami commercial where she's rocking a wig is so good.

Thanks!

Is someone planning to get the tickets for the mu-mo streams? If anyone wants I can give some tips on how to record the concert, so maybe it can be shared with everyone and stuff.

I may get the ticket for Fukuoka's first performance, 'cause it's going to be on my birthday here and it might be a cool way of celebrate, but I'm still not sure.

New song used as theme song for the TBS news show Good Luck! is called I'm Lovin'!

https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1086190

It's starting to air coming Monday, September 28!
With that title I hope for a R&B track.

Random Kuu sighting:

This model/shop clerk of 3 Coins (a Japan-wide 300 Yen shop chain) is wearing the DNA Tour shirt while showing off a new product!
Love spotting Kuu in daily life like that. :laugh

Sounds like it could be a What's Up-like song from the title to me or a smooth mid-tempo song. We won't get the full song on Monday tho, will we? From what I got with google translate the proper release of the song has not been decided yet.

Queen of releases!!

They say we will get more info about the song later.

And we already got a preview here!

Sounds like a feel-good song.

The chorus sounds a little similar to Roulette by Red Velvet, kinda has the same beat. Sounds like an alright song so far.

I love the DNA Tour t-shirt design, I wish I had one.

I'm kinda miss hyping a song
I like her music, and I know it's an old topic but the songs somehow don't feel as special to me anymore (most of them, that is). That does not make them bad and I know she developed and stuf... but oh well, I still get more excited by having some of the old songs in the setlist than the newest.

I'm Lovin' sounds cute!

Indeed it also reminds me of the R&B based pop sound Red Velvet has.
If this proves true for the full song as well, I'm all here for that!

With the first day of the tour Good Luck also aired some footage and a short backstage inerview with Kuu. She said there she picked the theme song between 2-3 songs she's working on.
Wonder what she's planning to do with all the new songs and if we ever get to know the plans she had to cancel this year or postpone.
But the most likely scenario probably is a new original album next year.


It's been a while, so here's a Spotify update:

01. Guess Who Is Back - 9,947,083
02. 愛のうた - 7,634,905
03. you - 2,403,959

13. 小さな恋のうた - 871,553
14. 夢のうた - 850,006
15. あなただけが - 704,903

There are some surprises: No Regret is at 500k plays and Bling Bling Bling at 440k, higher than songs like Crazy 4 U and Lollipop e.g..
Overall she's at around 564k monthly listeners right now.

On different platforms it also looks a bit different.
youtube e.g. right now:

01. め組のひと - 1,1 million
02. Crazy 4 U - 745,381
03. you - 737,649
04. 愛のうた (album version) - 685,558

12. puff - 372,313
13. Butterfly - 358,512
14. BE MY BABY - 327,356
15. Cherry Girl - 289,525

Tho ofc uploads are not done at the same time and not all songs have videos.

For another comparison here's the current ranking on AWA:

01. you - 1,771, 668
02. 好きで、好きで、好きで。 - 1,443,465
03. 愛のうた - 1,248,110

08. ふたりで... - 674,690
09. 言えないよ - 629,334
10. 恋しくて - 625,539
11. 小さな恋のうた - 520,910
12. Butterfly - 508,771
13. TABOO - 494,324
14. 恋のつぼみ - 480,854
15. Someday - 458, 289

Tho on AWA songs being released on different releases count seperately, so e.g. Moon Crying on the Moon single has 344,918 plays right now, so altogether the song actually has over 1,4 million plays.
For LINE Music there sadly is no way to check plays at all.

And because I think re(CORD) is a great album I also wanna update its Spotify plays! :P

It really is an album with good and popular album tracks.
Too bad chances to hear Rich&Famous and SHUTOUT live are very slim.

And a sad news just announced:
The NAIL MAX magazine is ceasing publishing.
They gonna continue doing stuff on social media though.

I love that Guess Who Is Back gets all the love it deserves! It’s been stuck in my head for a while now!

And noooo!! Not Nail Max! I loved seeing her on the covers :(
