Thanks for the scans! I wish I had money to buy the DVD ;_;

hsienko 19th June 2011 02:32 AM

I hope one of the songs on the single is ballad. But not a normal ballad but a ballad more like Promise. What genre would that be, like Rnb?

Well... that's more Jpop Ballad... IMO rnb would be songs like Always, Okay, No way...

Gustavopc 19th June 2011 05:54 AM

I'd like to hear a ballad like You're So Beautiful/magic, it fits her voice so well :D

To me Promise sounds like R&B. :)

And I wouldn't mind a ballad either, because those are my soft spot when it comes to Kuu. I love those so much. <3

I thought Jpop ballad would be more like Ai no Uta or Yume no Uta, something like sort of grandeur and epic. Promise isn't really like that.

hearted 19th June 2011 03:42 PM

^you have epic jpop ballads, and generic jpop ballads. Promise is more of that last one :P

kaled kalil 19th June 2011 04:19 PM

^ Promise to me is more epic than generic. It's one of my favorites btw.

I know the single will have a ballad, but I hope not. I mean, it's summer (I know is winter here, but whatever)... cmon... I don't need a boring ballad this time :(

ayu_ready? 19th June 2011 07:00 PM

did anyone notice in the second FANTASIA scans behind the scenes the kira kira pc Kuu's using, the engraved words "Queen of Pop"
ohlala :D

Kingdom 19th June 2011 07:18 PM

I need a new ballad <3 I want You are not alone since it sounds like You're so beautiful.

and OMG Promise is not generic... it's such a good song.

Twinkle ! 19th June 2011 08:12 PM

I really want sweet ballad like gentle words, I lately got into this song and I can't get over it :heart

kaled kalil 19th June 2011 08:14 PM

A couple days ago I was thinking... Maybe the 'new collaboration' will be as Once Again.
When they started to release the information, Once Again was announced as a collaboration with PUSHIN, but she just wrote and composed the song.

hearted 19th June 2011 09:06 PM

well im happy others do find it an amazing song :laugh i thought it was pretty forgetable

OogoeDiamond 19th June 2011 11:00 PM

Misono got new single as ME so maybe they will be another collaboration with all those rumors Feat. me

Gentle Words is hands down my favorite Kuu song. No comparison for me :heart

Minttulatte 20th June 2011 10:39 AM

Gentle Words love, eh? I can join you too. It's one of the best Kuu songs ever. I really hope there would be something similar one day. <3

same here:heart But closely followed by you and LOVE HOLIC. It'd be so cool if there was a similiar song to Gentle Words on the new single :)

Minttulatte 20th June 2011 04:48 PM

How can people choose their absolute #1 favorite song of Kuu? o.O I've found it too hard because I love most of her songs so much.

Everyone's different I guess~ Some people feel that they particulary love-love one song above all else for various reasons, doesn't mean they don't love lots of others too. I don't mean to say it as if you meant it that way btw, I don't know how else to explain it @_@;

I understood what you meant completely. :)

Corvina 20th June 2011 06:47 PM

I can't choose one absolutely favourite song as well. :laugh
But from her ballads I love Gentle Words (also the PV), Rain, Pearl Moon especially at the moment. Anata dake ga also got a special place in my heart, it's magical. <3
Ballads grew on me so much, cause I never was a ballad person before. I'm happy about it! :yes

There's a wedding special at Chaku Uta at the end of the month and guess which Kuu song takes part? Always of course!

I love most of her songs too, but I particulary love UNDER so much. Beside that song I can't choose only one, It's pretty hard, but I think that when someone say "my favourite song is..." it's not like OMG THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER, it's just like "this song for some reason it's special in kuu discography for me, and it's my favorite" At least it happens to me with Under, and I absolutely love most of kuu songs!

PD: I also like LOVE HOLIC, someone mentioned hahaha. I though it was pretty forgeatable for most kuu fans :luv2

Minttulatte 20th June 2011 08:10 PM

I'm glad that some of you can choose which Kuu song is their favorite. :) It doesn't matter how much I try to think about it, I just can't. There's just too many important songs for me personally that it's just impossible. :D But I can say that you, Promise and Kiseki will always have a special place in my heart because they are the first songs besides real Emotion and 1000 no Kotoba I heard, and those three amazing ballads made me love Kuu at once. Promise and you even made me cry as they touched me so deeply that I just went and downloaded her whole discography (this happened in 2006, about a month before Black Cherry was out). :)

And I remember how much I hated Butterfly, NO TRICKS and Crazy 4 U at first XD How funny that nowadays those hated songs are my on my favorites list these days. XD

krauterol 20th June 2011 08:48 PM

^
You is also quite important to me :) I remember the first time I saw the PV I fell in love with that girl with the winter hat! hahaha (I only saw selfish and shake it, so my perception of kuu was: "another ***** that wants to be britney" xD obviously, my thoughts change so fast about her :D)

I remember thinking something about this too after I watched Butterfly PV. Man, I should watch it again... I bet I will now worship it into bits lol. XD

Oh good :laugh Sorry sorry. I can't pick one favourite song, but I guess that might be because I don't listen to her as much as I used to. I used to listen to Driving so much though.

Driving is really good song too, though for some reason lately I've thought it's a bit boring. I don't know, there's something about TRICK that always bothers me every time I listen to it. I just don't feel the album as much as I feel the others. :/

Me too :( For me, the album sounds like unfinished idk or made in a hurry... I'm not a fan of Driving for example, but I love its remix on DH2, it gave the song all the hotness it needed for me to love it <3

I have been wondering since I read those translations tenshi no hane made of Koda Reki that Kuu may have probably been depressed and felt like she didn't want to do anything which could explain why I personally can't feel the album as much as the others. :/ Last week I translated the album's songs to finnish and was surprised at how sad and dark most of the songs are on this album. To me TRICK seems and sounds like it's Kuu's most darkest album ever released. :yes

CHE.R.RY 20th June 2011 09:57 PM

Well I'm kind of a conditional fan of Kuu's nowadays, but the new single has sort of an edgy sound to it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed...usually her summer singles are really good though so I'm sure it won't be disappointing! I miss naughty Kuu :weep!

After I read this, I must agree with you. And her hairstyle change right after TRICK may also be related to this. Is it possible that Kuu had just broken up in those times? imo that's the reason for that tomboy haircut and ''dark'' songs... A broken heart :(
Spoiler:
And a refrigerator taken away by her ex :innocent

Nu-NRG 20th June 2011 11:47 PM

As per Ms Hilson tagline...

That's Hot. :love:

Zeke. 21st June 2011 05:40 AM

When the hell are they going to announce this damn single!? Lol. I need previews!

Gustavopc 21st June 2011 08:34 AM

^ Probably tomorrow, June 22nd, we'll get the previews :D I hope they announce everything: Release date, covers, if there are any remixes and the collab

Luja. 21st June 2011 11:38 AM

For TRICK, wasn't this the first album released after her "big scandal"? Maybe this added to the dark feeling, too, I think she said she felt pretty down at that time.

"Always" is a nice wedding song! :D

There are so many kuu songs that I could listen to all day, but it always depends on my mood. For example this week I am listening to Dejavu non-stop even though I didn't at all for the last month. Now I am in love with it again.
But there are 3-5 songs of hers that I could always listen to, everyday, no matter which mood I'm in. And those are what I call my "favorites", even though there are .. how to say that... "temporary favorites" that change from time to time?:laugh

I'm sure she was pretty broken at that time. Somehow it also sometimes was reflected to the way she performed live. At least to me it felt like that at times. Not all the time, but there were times when I seriously wondered what's wrong with her. :( This was in 2008 and 2009. There was no sign of anything being wrong last year anymore which was awesome. <3

Yes, and in Koda Reki she said that 2009 was also a year when she felt a bit down all the time, and that with Can We Go Back she realized she can't do this anymore or something. Poor Kuu. :'(

I think I'm like you, actually. There are many songs that I can listen every day and as long as possible, but there also those "temporary favorites" too for me as well. :3

And tomorrow we get info about her new single. I really hope I can get here then because I really wanna know all the details. <3

Corvina 21st June 2011 04:51 PM

Where does that info come from? Her FC?

Utena 21st June 2011 04:53 PM

yup

Tashiro 21st June 2011 04:54 PM

So, it's no longer VIP? I thought it was such a great name. \sad

Corvina 21st June 2011 04:56 PM

I think 4 TIMES is so much better!
So Poppin’love cocktail is the collaboration! And it's the main song to promote, though it's a 4 a-side.
Have to check who TEEDA is! XD

Just saw... one version is with a digital camera! 15,750 Yen! XD

Tashiro 21st June 2011 05:04 PM

^ She is crazy!! How come will I have all her singles? She makes it impossible!! I'm buying 3 versions, this one with de camera is just outrageous.

And, as we see, Poppin’love cocktail is the main track, I think. 'Cause it's the song selected for the other 2 versions. They'd not choose it if it wasn't the one they were going to promote.

Corvina 21st June 2011 05:05 PM

If I get the info right, we're getting the covers tomorrow!

The two one song editions are limited.

So Teeda is from the band BACK-ON:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-On

They're a rock band, but Teeda is their rapper!
I love Chain from them, from the Anime Air Gear. :heart

Minttulatte 21st June 2011 05:28 PM

So it's called 4TIMES? Nice title. Gives me this 3 SPLASH vibe. :D But I like the title. I bet it's gonna have some epic PVs too.

One version with a digital camera? Holy moly, what's gotten to her? I bet no one has done that one before. :O

kumiko.koda 21st June 2011 05:33 PM

I'm in Tokyo when the single will be released ^^

I will buy this version: CD (4songs) + DVD (4 PVs)

zellyx 21st June 2011 05:37 PM

4A single?! @_@
YES

Beauty4123 21st June 2011 05:40 PM

omg this is amazing news! it's like 4 hot wave all over again. :weep

i really wanna see the covers now! :laugh this is gonna be an amazing single. :D

Gustavopc 21st June 2011 06:16 PM

V.I.P. sounded better imo, but since it's a 4 a-side single, I'm ok with it...

By limited do you mean "FC limited" or "limited press"? If it's not exclusive for FC, I wanna get that version with postcards <3

Luja. 21st June 2011 06:21 PM

Covers tomorroooooow!! Yay!:heart And all those versions:thud wow. I will buy the 4 songs + 4 PVs one for sure and I think the CD+postcards one as well (if it's available for everyone). I really want to know what that digital camera is going to look like:laugh And I want to see the PVs!!! I should be more patient... but I can't!:laugh

waterballoon 21st June 2011 06:23 PM

4TIMES!! Can't wait for the cover!

It's limited for everybody I think, the FC is getting posters as bonus.
But I'm not sure, cause after that there's something about preordering at the Dejavu Tour venues for the limited editions.
Let's wait for tomorrow for the offcial site and somebody translating properly!

kumiko.koda 21st June 2011 06:27 PM

If it is available for everyone then maybe I get other versions, too

AyuHamasaki01 21st June 2011 06:31 PM

4 TIMES sounds awesome. I really want to see some covers now!

jiarongisme 21st June 2011 06:38 PM

Ahh I so want the CD+Postcards version.

jbrat2219 21st June 2011 08:24 PM

Sweet! I might get the 4 song CD-only.... Or the CD+DVD, all of Gossip Candy PVs didn't end up on Dejavu...

Corvina 21st June 2011 08:31 PM

These are the Qlix cameras:

Hm, looks pretty...well simple.

Corvina 21st June 2011 09:16 PM

Posters you get when preordering at the Dejavu Tour:

http://i55.tinypic.com/5pprih.jpg

Don't know yet if those are also the ones for the FC

koumori 21st June 2011 09:28 PM

Beautiful!

ren'ai 21st June 2011 09:30 PM

Quick song descriptions:

Poppin'love cocktails feat. TEEDA
- a full throttle summer POP-Rock song intertwined with rap by TEEDA

V.I.P.
- super cool electro sound with heavy beats? Shows the true Koda Kumi
The PV has a must-see dance performance

KO-SO KO-SO
- 4am bed scene?? XD scandalous song mixed with heavy breathing lmao

IN THE AIR
- A love song, giving support to loved ones.. the description reminds me of Taisetsu na Kimi e

I really want previewsss

Gustavopc 21st June 2011 09:33 PM

omg amazing covers as I expected from the maganize, and ko-so-ko-so sounds AWESOME
