thanks tsubasa for making a new thread :heart

and wow Kuu's threads are moving so fast :laugh

never underestimate the power of us Kuu fans! :D

112 thread??
god... that means... 56000 kumi posts?? xD

well, I've seen that kuu is #4 today... anyway, 50k for the first 3 days I think it's quite good considering her decline in sales.
but I keep thinkin' this single deserves more than this.

yeah, this single really deserves more sales, but I'm glad it's still doing amazing in the digital charts :yes

for today we have:

Lollipop is going to be one of her bigger hits since It's all Love!? stay with me? I can't remember but whoaaaa it's really great!!! :luv2

whoa that's awesome ! that was unexpected and did VERY WELL Digitally tbh i'm really happy :luv2

i hope that's help the single with physical sales and has a long chart life :blove

I thought the U-stream thing was for only 1 day or so?

^ it's for 5 days since wednesday (: they will broadcast Music Japan performance there too

I hope not to miss it this time :weep

TSUBASA, YOUR SIGGY IS TOTALLY AMAZING O.O

This single is selling great, i hope she can reach the 70k

i'm sure this was already posted in the previous thread, but since this is a new thread, i'll post it anyway :P kumi at today''s MUSIC STATION:



i love her hair in a ponytail like that :heart

Yay new thread :D

Lollipop :heart

oh btw, have u guys noticed? I think it was since BUT, like every hot-dance song from her now are all about you know mature themes like girl power etc. In the past when we had SHAKE IT, JUICY and the like, it was like all just "it's a song about sex".

I'm so touched by this transformation; the songs keep getting better too! <3

^
that's true!

hey waterballon, one random question... who's that amazing guy in your avatar? god, it's damn HOT!!!

^ It's Taeyang. :heart :heart :heart

^ Not waterballoon, but it's Taeyang from Big Bang, and he is delicious :lech :laugh

^ that's Taeyang, from BIG BANG :D

oh btw do they usually release single booklets textless or something? I really want the back cover of Gossip Candy like HQ + textless but it's kinda impossible to do it on Photoshop so I'm praying avex does something ~__~

112 threads... that's the most for any artist (besides ayu) right?

My singles still haven't come yet :( They were shipped though! excited :love

nice new thread Tsubasa!

^ Yup, Kuu is the Queen! <3

yeah woo. 112 threads already! yay koda kumi!

( I feel like spamming this picture. ) Promote! lol

^ Looks like it..

...omg, I like it.

Kuu's hair is looking great these days! Love it in the video. But, her black with blond from Secret era will always be my favorite. I actually got my hairdresser to give me that look. I get lots of compliments, and it's all thanks to Kuu! (But, now I'm thinking I want her hair from the streamed video)

It a bit scares me though that 3 SPLASH seemed to have a better consistency at this point but we will see.

Gossip Candy isn't amazing but it is a better single than 3 SPLASH imo!

I really like Lollipop!!

Short TV Report about Dream music park

Edit::

Some DMP videos :

Credits: Negi92

the opening movie is HOT. kuu should be an action movie heroine!

huaaa.. live performance looks bad in recorded version :laugh

Finally i got my Gossip Candy DMP version.. but yeah, it's plain..
I love the regular version one..

^^ Didn't she do that already? :laugh

:yes Black Cherry!!!

actually the film is called Cherry Girl ;)

lol. and all the performances (especially Ai no Uta) looked amazing to me :laugh
I can't imagine how they will look in the DVD version *__*

btw, why did you buy the DMP edition of Gossip Candy instead of the normal one? XD

They have to have the English words from "Lollipop" on the big TV screens in her Music Station performance so the audience knows what she's saying. :laugh

Kuu's live stream has had 533k viewers since opening two days ago! That's amazing~

OMG That's awesome :D

Music Japan performance

thanks to zephyrous @jmusicpop


She reminds me of Jack Sparrow for some reason XD Nice performance~

She is going for a Pirate theme for Lollipop isnt it? I like it :)

@edu: :yes just like Lacus has mentioned..
Gossip Candy DMP edition has cap (i chose the green one) :D
I thought i had to buy it while i was at the concert :D
(it costs me like 2300 yen :scry)

OMG~ Lollipop @Music Japan is the hottest lollipop performance ever!!

hot performance :D

Seriously I'm still surprised with Kuu's engrish! I was so sure it was wiener shot before ohwell! You gotta love kuu's engrish~

That performance is my favorite Lollipop performance yet <3

That Lollipop performance's hot xD And she reminds me to Jack Sparrow too LOL

And thanks for those recorded DMP performances! They look amazing! I hope they announce the DVD/Blu-ray soon *O*

Great the sales are so high ^0^ I must admit I'm still getting used to the sound of the Fishbowls; Inside is nicer than Outside I think :) I was very hopeful for GTBR but in the end the full version sounds like one big boring refrain which is a big let down for me :(

For you really takes you back to the affection~grow into one era *-* Reminds me of Your only one.

ah.. I thought you could buy the cap separately, too @__@
cuz the normal edition is wayyy better with the bonus track, the booklet, the cover, etc :p

^So Gossip Candy's going to outsell 3 SPLASH? At least for the debut week?

Well, as far as we can tell, yes. But maybe those last two days were stronger for 3 SPLASH. Not very likely though : P

omg hotness :luv2

going to save the sticker now <3

For a song I didnt care much for when I heard it....it has one of the best PVs and some of the best performances I've seen from Kumi in a while. It's like the old Kumi is coming back....talking about Lollipop btw....the fish songs are fun too but not stellar.

Love the sticker!

want to watch the music japan performance It's delete from YT

Arigatou for the vids :D

You can tell Kuu's been working out in the 2nd vid :D

the new Kuu perfs are soooo good :heart If I had a body like that I would be flaunting it too, she's HOT.

the 4 performances of Lollipop are up for download on KumiBrasil :)

http://www.kumibrasil.com/

CDTV performance was nice!

:roflmao OMG the ontama is so cute!!
i can't explain in in english but it's so funny.. :laugh

All Lollipop performances are friggin' hot. Just look at he sexy body. Man, I wanna touch it... ooh...:blove

thank you~~~~~:love:love

Thanks, Edu!
Will watch all of them now!
I'm so happy Kuu is selling well physical and digital. Was about time for Kuu for another hit!

Can't wait for the magazines and the live reports!
(hopefully lots of great pics from DMP)

Why are there no lives for the Fishbowls?

I want to see Kuu in a giant fishbowl and smash it open from the inside!!

We are getting a live of Outside Fishbowl about the end of the month, I think.

That sounds so awesome.

Woah when did she get an official YouTube channel? Or am I just late>

^A week ago haha
And that Fishbowl performance sounds so cool xD Kuu in a giant Fishbowl *O*

I've thought it all out! She can do a medley of the two songs; the first two minutes (so it won't be too long) she'll be in the Fishbowl singing Inside and right after it'll break into the chorus of Outside and she'll smash it open!!

*___*

Yeah like that will happen, haha...

edit: omg.. the ontama episode is so cute..
she was asked about: her ideal propose.. her drawing is just too cute!

1st week sales for Gossip Candy

#4 with 60,027

http://jpopmusic.com/forums/viewtopi...1288f#p3909553

that's better than predicted right?

I finally understand the whole use of the world "Fishbowl". Jessica Simpson used the term when describing her life on this show that's on TV. And now, I feel stupid, having to be explained things by Jessica Simpson.

What an embarrassment there. Not even in the top three there. I think Avex put Kuu's single at the wrong time, and they put Ayu's single at the right time. Kuu just stumbled there - got out-run by Arashi, Satoshi Ohno (part of Arashi), and even SKB48 - wait a minute - how in the world could SKB48 outrun Kuu's sales!? What a shame for Kuu's fans there. Anyways, I'm not even interested in Kuu very much, but I don't know why Avex put Kuu's single on a date when Arashi (including Satoshi Ohno's Kaibutsu-kun solo single) and SKB48 are about to release singles on the same date...

erm excuse me , what's so shameful pertaining to the 1st week sales for Gossip Candy ? :rolleyes

Considering who she was up against , it's already really good & at least now nobody needs to worry whether will her material tanked on Oricon as compared to the her early days

if you don't listen to Kumi anymore , then why did you bother to come on here & post ?

People are going to whack you for whatever you said in your statement & why you bring up ARASHI & Ohno in almost every single thread , be it on here & also in MOON / blossom ? :irked

there's an ARASHI thread here so post whatever you feel like it over the guys , other people on here wouldn't be so interested in them :o

Well, I don't know why Kuu is kind of struggling a bit compared to the others, maybe...

Gossip Candy's 1st week sales is higher than 3 SPLASH (61K+) , is that saying something enough for you ? :rolleyes

word :o
