Thanks for the nice first post Tsubasa^^
only 3 more weeks to go until 4 TIMES will be released. Maybe a first PV tomorrow (Poppin'love cocktail)? |
^Oh that would be nice! I hope one of the PVs airs soon on tv :yatta
|
^ Me too!!!
OMG that would be freaking awesome. Yay new thread! :D :D :D |
Just read what I had missed from the old thread. A new single already? Awesome. And there's You are not alone and that other song I forgot already? Awesome. Especially for the You are not alone. I'm so happy she's so active again. This is the Kuu I fell in love with. And seriously, they did this with TABOO and stay with me. They announced stay with me for December before TABOO wasn't even out lol. XD
And her a-nation goods are cool as always. I think her goods are always the best compared to others. Kuu's goods are always the only ones I would really buy <3 |

It took me a while to realize that there was a new thread out :P I am so excited to see VIP and KSKS PVs.
|
^ Me toooo!! I am so sick of waiting! :scry
|
I can't believe it's only a few weeks until Kuu's smash summer single! :)
|
^ONLY? I'm dying for that day to come. Mind you, I will be very close to going back to school when it comes out, so I'm not dying too much :P
|
Thanks for the new thread! That photo of Kuu is beautiful :heart
I'm really looking forward to 4 TIMES. I wish it was earlier though! It'd be perfect to listen to before I start college~ |
ViVi (september 2011) scans!

It's a lot more bland than usual. She looks good though.
|
I want those shoes she has on in the first picture!
|
Thanks for the Vivi scans. She looks beautiful :heart But the interview is only about lame love talk so I won't be translating it XD;
|
Longer preview for In the Air!
|
^Beautiful song :heart Can't wait for the full version and the PV!
Aaah I need some 4 TIMES PVs now! |
^
^Thanks! I think they just pasted the parts from the PV preview together, but still, it sounds great :heart |
in the air is one the best recent kuu songs for me. it's so good... i can't wait for the full version.
|
IN THE AIR is proabbly gonna be my favourite midtempo song by Kuu :) ok yea, that's too early to say..but amongst the bunch, it has this fresh feeling
|
IN THE AIR sounds so new and fresh that I think I'll overplay it in a week XD
|
IN THE AIR and KO-SO-KO-SO are my new favorites <3
This single seems to be one of the best she released for a long time. |
Normally I don't like midtempo songs by Kuu, but IN THE AIR sounds very promising!
|
i.need.one.PV.at.least O.O...one proper full song in good quality >.<

IN THE AIR <3<3<3
|
I want KO-SO-KO-SO because she looks so H___Y in that music video.
|
I have only heard V.I.P. in full, and I have to say, its really starting to grow on me... :innocent
I'm saving the rest of the single for when I receive my copy. :luv2 |
IN THE AIR sounds beautiful!
Could become my favourite song of the sinlge. I'm not sure if we get full PVs , at least not that early. Cause their pattern seems to be: Poppin'love cocktail PV making of, PLC Chaku Uta release, IN THE AIR PV making of, IN THE AIR Chaku Uta release. Next week KO-SO-KO-SO Chaku Uta will be released and we probably get the making of for the PV before. I hope they show at least one full PV before the actual release! |
ooo! so there is a pattern...i tot KO-SO-KO-SO would be last..going by the timing of the day (4am) but oh well...
|
KO-SO-KO-SO is the last song on the single and the last song for the theme they have (4 AM) that's right.
They just decided to release V.I.P. last digitally, probably because it's so experimental and they don't know how people will react. |
Wow IN THE AIR sounds really good!
|
Poppin'love cocktail got weekly #1!

IN THE AIR sounds fresh, sweet, new, magical, lovely, even powerful! Is that possible for a mid-tempo kuu song??? Awwww... I don't know why, but I have the feeling this single will put again kuu in the spot of fame!
|
i like In The Air, it's really calm and sweet!
2/4 I hope V.I.P and Plc could grow on me someday |
omg. I was a little unsure about the melody for that song, until she hit that very last part, and it was perfect.
Damn, idk if its cause she works with so many different people or something but her songs are just coming out fantastic...and even these ones where, she already has similar songs, they feel so fresh and different. I cant wait to see everything live...omg #epic |
So, my initial feeling about the whole 4 single battle are (there is this intense competition for these singles in my head)...
Songs: TIMES > hot wave PVs: TIMES < hot wave Still have to compare booklets, interludes, CD art and overall. TIMES is losing out for not having a bonus for CD+DVD. |
IN THE AIR debuted at #5 on Recochoku.

omg, IN THE AIR :heart I thought it was going to be my least favorite on the single, but after hearing the previews pasted together I'm sure I will love all the songs from this single equally ;3.
--------- girls ~Selfish~ era. |
^IKR
when i heard IN THE AIR from the making i was like: HOLY ISH COULD THAT BE MY FAVE OF THIS SINGLE..!? lol i think for her cute songs... THIS is the right direction she can go with it! for her 51st single i wonder how this will turn out... piano ballad, rnb ballad, rock ballad or even an electro ballad!? let's see! i love the direction she is goin' with her new songs! so maybe the next album will be THE ALBUM everyone's waitin' for! |

How strange that they left Kuu unmentioned :O

how sweet the 1:30 preview (without cuts) of IN THE AIR! I'm already in love with that song even it's not full yet!

Quote:
|
Wow the ending of PLC is amazing *_* hell, all 4 songs are turning out to be amazing! I'm so hooked already!
|
I want the BACK-ON to be real |: Hope it'll still happen...
Oh, and there's a wrong url on the first post, I clicked on the Music Video link, but it sent me to the concerts audio page x: |
If BACK-ON does make a song with Kuu they will have worked with both Koda sisters. Maybe a three way collab one day? BACK-ON could at least provide the instrumentals to an It's All Love live.

There is a note in all online stores saying this:

|
So maybe BackOn is gonna be featured in a Kumi single... Maybe they will sing Ai wo tomenaide with her...
|
oh how weird. maybe BACK-ON and avex will announce it later then?
Gustavopc: I already corrected it. sorry :tipsy |
V.I.P. is on Space Shower list, we'll have the PV soon!
http://www.spaceshowertv.com/search/...u=0086757&ch=2 |
ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!! hpefully next monday :)
|
Huh... The director for V.I.P is the same guy that directed most of Dejavu's videos. His website: http://www.stoicsenseproduct.com/ (A little FYI. :D)
|
omg I can't wait for the V.I.P PV :heart
|
I hope they show the full PV.
|
V.I.P PV will be broadcast on Monday!

WISH CAME TRUE!!! woots!!

@Tsubasa2591 haha no problems ^^
If Kuu had composed more songs, I'd say that maybe she's producing one of the songs for Back-on, but that seems a bit strange... omg I thought we wouldnt get V.I.P. PV that soon :D thats awesome |
Yay, V.I.P. PV on Monday!
Didn't expect to get it so soon. I also thought the BACK-ON single with Kuu was confirmed, cause every (shopping) site mentions it, even amazon.jp. Oh well, maybe they do announce it a bit later. Or they switched and the single with her will be released later? :shrug recochoku rankings for today, 2011/07/29: Chaku Uta: #3 IN THE AIR (↑#5) #17 Poppin'love cocktail (↑#19) Incoming movie clips: #46 Suki de (new) #89 Ima sugu hoshii (new) RBT: #12 Poppin'love cocktail (↓#9) #13 IN THE AIR (↑#15) |
can't wait to watch "V.I.P." :cool
|
IN THE AIR climbed to #3 today! that's great!! :D maybe the song keep climbing to #1!
|
Okay, I'm NOT gonna watch the VIP PV, or any of the PVs, before I get my copy of the CD.
|
V.I.P premiere will be on MTV (just an hour of difference)

I can't wait to see her moving her hips

And if no one records it on the first play *which I hope wont happen* there's the second chance an hour later haha |
Taisetsu na kimi e was certified Gold in Chaku Uta full in June!
6 years after its release. :laugh Look here: http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/chart/w110720.html Does anybody want a full list of Kuu's digital certifications? I made one checking every single certification since August 2006. *phew* a-nation setlist for Kuu from today: 倖田來未 01.BE MY BABY 02.め組のひと 03.Bling Bling Bling 04.キューティーハニー 05.Butterfly 06.You are not alone 07.新曲 (new song) Thanks to truehappiness and 2ch. Last one is one of 4 TIMES, the one posting the setlist apparently didn't know how the song is called. :laugh Maybe she sang IN THE AIR, would love it. |
^ Thanks Corvina! But uuuuuuurgh I'm sick of seeing Megumi no Hito and BE MY BABY in every setlist :\ I wish she sang more of her original songs.. And Butterfly/Cutie Honey again... The only surprising song is Blingx3
|
Haha I'm actually really excited for BE MY BABY xD But I could have done without Cutie Honey and Butterfly as well :P
|
I could do just without Cutie Honey.
She didn't sing Butterfly live for a while now (just a shorter version at FANTASIA). We probably never see it anyway, cause just about 2-3 songs will be shown on TV and DVD. XD |
^ I hope the two that do get aired are You are not alone and the new song lol
|
Blah, worst a-nation setlist ever. I'm sick of BE MY BABY and Megumi no Hito. I'm glad she sang Butterfly & Cutie Honey, but will not be on TV / DVD version as always.
Bling Bling Bling is just whatever imo. BTW the new song is Poppin'love cocktail (source: baidu) |
^Makes sense that she sang PLC. Its the main track (am I wrong?) as well as the most summery.
|
what?? :S with amazing songs to promote and perform like ko-so ko-so, in the air and VIP is she really going to perform AGAIN cutie honey, butterfly, be my baby and megumi no ito?? And wtf blingx3, worst song ever!! Sick tracklist... very dissapointing!!! :(
Something like this would be more comprensive (and awesome): 1. Pop Diva 2. At the weekend 3. In the air 4. Ko-so Ko-so 5. Lollipop 6. V.I.P 7. You're not alone 8. Poppin' love cocktail |
Oh, I like the tracklist, I'd just take Bling³ out :P I was expecting her to perform more songs from Dejavu, I got a bit surprised with this...
Also it looks... short? Maybe she'll add some more songs, I'd love to see IN THE AIR <3 |

POP DIVA live from Dejavu Tour? Are you sure?
Well, looking forward to that! Red seems great with older a-nation lives. |
Oh, thanks! I love the Red edition tracklist, I'm glad I ordered it :D I'd just change BUT (UNIVERSE Tour) by the Dream music park live, that arrengement was sooooo flawless
|
a-nation started already? i thought it starts next week. :P but anyway, nice setlist. :D
|
I think the a-nation setlist is great.
Bling bling bling is my shXX! edit:: I just got a new boyfriend and listening to IN THE AIR gives me butterflies. I need a translation, tenshi!! |
setlist for a-nation is perfect! BE MY BABY as the opening song is gonna be powerful, and I love Bling Bling Bling as well, it's so fun live. I hope we'll be able to watch most of the performances on the TV broadcast or DVD ;_;.
cant wait to see the outfits! |
Im okay with those songs, just not blingx3...
When youre at your own concert with your main fans, fine, when youre at a place like a-nation....um, choose your best songs to boost your image. But anyway, Im happy with the amount of songs she has. |
Preview from Dejavu Tour, 2011.07.19!
|
^I really like the blue dress!
|
Her vocals aren't the best there.
She clearly needs some rest, she's doing too much. *sigh* Fans on the Dejavu Tour blog are worried about her. All the last posts are like "take care", "I'm worried about Kuu-chan", "Is Kuu-chan ok?" and so on. XD I also wrote a comment there this morning. Her staff has to approve it first and make it public afterwards, so they know how the fans are thinking. I just hope she listens to her fans and her staff takes that serious. |
Dejavu Tour looks like the most gorgeus thing this year. Absolutely flawless <3
But I gotta agree that her vocals weren't that great. But I'm sure she takes rest too. :) |
Anata Dake ga was soooo nice :)
i really cant stand it seeing the word horny in PLC =.= |
This year you get FC cards with pics from a-nation last year and a glittering sticker from this years theme:

I love the arrangement for Anata dake ga! :luv2 |
I just got back to my hostel, guess what I found at 7-11 (convenience store)?
kuu chocolate with the covers from the 12 (were is 12?) singles project. So, you and so on.:) bought two with the covers of 09 (ima sugu hoshii?) and 12 (Someday/Boys&Girls)! I think they're a-nation goods from this collab between avex and 7&i holdings. So nice! Hope to see more kuu (& ayu) goodies there tomorrow since it's the official release date :D |
"You looks like horny!" ? oh my...I think I prefer Get Up & Move!! 's "You've got me really horn-ehhh" XD
