I don't like her face there. :(

Once again she will perform after the release:

12/02 - Music Station
12/03 - CDTV
12/09 - Happy Music
12/?? - Music Japan (12/04 or 12/11)

EDIT~

Kumi and Omarion on set (he is an American R&B singer)
http://twitpic.com/7fpkx9

Kuu and Omarion? On set?
I know from Gubsi that Kuu was shooting another PV for the album today (from her FC blog), so that means we get another western R&B collab song?
And a PV for it as well?
Can't wait, Passing By was already amazing.

Love the Emoda cover, looks pretty perfect to me!

~StarCatcher~ 18th November 2011 04:10 PM

Awesome pic. One of her best Cover shots imo.

Corvina 18th November 2011 04:27 PM

Love Me Back PV debuted at #1 on recochoku yesterday and is #1 today as well.

Lady~Deviance 18th November 2011 04:45 PM

Omarion? Sorry, I've never been a fan of his or when he was in the all boy group B2K. We'll see how this collaboration goes...:innocent

happiholic★ 18th November 2011 04:52 PM

Okay, not gonna lie, my friends were all into the whole B2K thing when they came out, and I admit to liking a few of their songs. They also look good together. Kuu always holds her own when doing stuff with Western singers, they mesh so well. And she looks good with Omarion. And he's much cuter than B. Howard, so the PV will be hot!

Gubsi 18th November 2011 04:53 PM

yes ist seems like it's a RnB ballad!
I can't Upload that pic from the blog cause i'm not at home and i can't upload pics with my iPhone!
Looks like some bluescreen thing and i think they'll add somthing like a Sunset or somthing like that!!

omg hot the emoda Cover!!

Beauty4123 18th November 2011 05:33 PM

that EMODA cover is just perfect. :heart

and kuu & omarion? that's one collaboration i wasn't expecting, lol. but i wonder how it'll be. :P

ExodusUK 18th November 2011 06:50 PM

Couldn't she get Usher, why this z-lister?

Gustavopc 18th November 2011 08:04 PM

I like the cover, she looks sexy <3 And I don't have a clue on who this guy is, but Kuu rarely fails at collabs, so I'm ansious for this!

happiholic★ 18th November 2011 08:30 PM

Where is the picture in the first post from? I love it.

Omarion was a member/leader of a boyband called B2K!
They has a Hit with "Bump Bump Bump"!
Then he has/had a solo career...
BUT i only know "Ice Box" which is a very good song imo!

Ayu_Love 19th November 2011 01:01 AM

That EMODA cover is just perfect. It's blown me away. :heart One of her best covers ever, for me!

I really can't wait to see the lives for Love Me Back and the new magazines shoots, they're going to be epic worthy. <3 2011 really has been a year for kuu, she's made my heart jump at every turn!

milky_way 19th November 2011 02:39 AM

Flawless as always :yes

happiholic★ 19th November 2011 03:34 AM

I'm sorry, but Kuu's teeth look funny in that pic. Like she has a gummy smile or something.

Nu-NRG 19th November 2011 07:49 AM

Srsly Omarion? ummm Usher or even Ne-Yo would be a sick combo imo

oh and ...that EMODA cover is hot!!


ps: I still dream of seeing a David Guetta/Kuu collabo one day...:yes
*listens to Without You~

emi♡ 19th November 2011 07:56 AM

Love the cover~~ Not THAT crazy about her hair...especially after all the awesome things I've seen them do with hair...but oh well.

It's quite different than what I had in mind. But quite interesting. Their line for this season is totally retro and fabric heavy~~ So I wonder what they'll put her in inside!


I have no idea who B2K is lol


edit:...just looked them up...lol okay I remember Omarion. It's kinda funny they're collabing.

Corvina 19th November 2011 09:43 AM

Kuu presenting the limited Love Me Back pouch edition on the PV set yesterday:

Love Me Back PV is still at #1 today on recochoku.

Minttulatte 19th November 2011 11:10 AM

^She looks beautiful on those pics. <3

And another collaboration? With someone I don't even know? Oh well, Kuu's collaborations doesn't usually fail to impress me (That Ain't Cool though was pain to my ears and still is lol) so I bet it's awesome since Passing By was epic <3

kaled kalil 19th November 2011 01:25 PM

Her hair looks amazing ♥

People hates Ashida Mana more than Kumi, wow. Ashida is just a 7 years old girl, why so much hate on her? :(

Kumi lost some positions, but I think she'll never be out of this list (which I don't really think it's bad, at least people remember her lol).

Corvina 19th November 2011 01:49 PM

Calm down, honey, didn't recognize it.
There are several ways to get a hand on tickets.
Buying them online through a middleman service, winning some on a japanese auction also with a middleman service or even buying some being there (mostly there are tickets at reseller stores still some days before a concert).
But if you want them before, you need a middleman service. At least I don't know other ways, I never bought tickets.

Maybe you should take a look at immel's guide to get to a Ayu concert:

Some people I know bought tickets from reseller shop (Yokohama ticket) which is located at Shibuya. When do you plan to go?

thank u so much! I'm going to investigate a little more.. ;)

happiholic★ 19th November 2011 05:39 PM

I guess people hate Kuu for her 2008 comment? Or maybe its her sexy style? Rola is on there too, and she's not even Japanese. I wonder why people hate her? Mind you, I find her horribly unattractive, so I don't know why she's popular in the first place.

Minttulatte 19th November 2011 05:45 PM

People hate Kuu probably because of her sexy image (which isn't that bad when you know what she's using it for) and probably some of them still think of the 2008 scandal (which is so old everyone should already forget it lol XD) or then they're just annoyed that she's still popular. :D

And who the heck is Rola? :D

I don't know why you are getting snippy. I don't know a thing about getting tickets in Japan, would you rather I made something up just to give you an answer? Plus, there is a guide to getting tickets on AHS already, in the Ayu section.

She is a model who worked for Popteen and ViVi who is from... Bangladesh? Or someplace like that. I think she started a singing career too (who doesn't these days?) with some nobody J-Urban singers. The video is totally lame.

Hmmmm... I think I have to bet for june 24th (the last one), I can't go there sooner... :rolleyes

kaled kalil 19th November 2011 08:31 PM

I've just watched Love Me Back (short version) from SSTV and it have the exactly same cut, so the one from MTV that we got a rip is an official short version.

emi♡ 19th November 2011 08:32 PM

^^......


Who's the 7 year old they hate? Damn :/ Koda on there isn't surprising.

kaled kalil 19th November 2011 08:45 PM

Ashida Mana is a japanese actress (and now a singer too), she's so cute.

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q...l/123156-1.jpg

It seems they hate her because she's too cute / overexposed on the media, but I think this is so mean, she's just a child...

emi♡ 19th November 2011 09:13 PM

^she does seem to have quite the extensive discography for someone who's only 7...but even so...god. Is there no one that they won't bring hate upon...

emi♡ 19th November 2011 10:26 PM

double post.

I now understand why koda's legs are fabulous.

Have you guys ever tried doing any of these dances in over 3 inch heels? omfg...

Ayu_Love 19th November 2011 10:36 PM

Is that list of most disliked woman based on people they have asked or sales? I find it hard to believed that Japan can put a 7 year-old girl on a most disliked list...But then again, this is Japan. I'm a little surprised that Kuu is on there, but like people said that's probably to do with her image. If they haven't gotten over the bloody 2008 comment by now. ¬¬

And woo! Well done for 'Love Me Back' at #1, let's hope it debuts as well on Oricon, too. :)

10 more days until the release date.. *impatient* I wonder what kind of song Say Her Name will be.

kaled kalil 20th November 2011 04:09 PM

The single will leak next week, as always. I'm looking forward to hear the remix and Say Her Name too.

I'm going to try to download them in HDTV :)

She'll perform at Best Hits 2011 too (probably Poppin'love cocktail or Ai wo Tomenaide) 11/24.

Gustavopc 20th November 2011 05:17 PM

I know that avex is not the best label when it comes to Kuu, but damn, they're being worse than usual... Also, will the limited edition for LMB just include the pouch or will there be anything else? Cuz they announced it as CD+Goodies, if we're not getting anything else I shall cancel my pre-order of it, the pouch is just meh to me, so I'd take the CD+DVD version instead and save some money.

kaled kalil 20th November 2011 05:47 PM

Just the pouch and Love Me Back track on the CD.
Actually they announced CD+Pouch, and not goodies (if I'm not wrong).

EDIT~

I saw this in a japanese blog:

Quote:

カップリングのSay Her Nameはまさかのラブソングみたいです
(Say Her Name is like a love song for rainy coupling) by google lol
It's not 100% reliable source since is a personal blog, but I really think it's a ballad. :(

Ayu_Love 20th November 2011 07:34 PM

Thanks, Kaled! :)

If 'Say Her Name' is a GOOD ballad than I won't mind, I'm quite interested to see the lyrics for that. It could be like...A sexy ballad? LOL.

'rainy coupling'? XD;; gotta love google. But yeah, it says Say Her Name is like a love song.

Gustavopc 20th November 2011 07:59 PM

Oh, then I'll probably cancel my pre-order, maybe I'll also get 4 TIMES CD+DVD :P

I was hoping for a sexy song with 'Say Her Name'. The title reminded me of like, saying someone's name in bed, lol. I guess its more like say her name softly in a loving way? Or maybe its a sexy ballad, like a slower KSKS.

EDIT: Maybe it will be like 'Rain'! But, I still want a sexy ballad.

whaaaat. are you sure? they announced it as CD+Goods wich would come in a pouch. you can see it in the url of the cover [rhythmzone.net/koda/news/images/lovemeback_cdgoods.jpg] XD and also in the decription of this edition: CD+グッズ オリジナル大判ポーチ 大判ポーチ サイズ, it says CD+original oversized pouch w/ goods or somthing like that.

well, I won't mind if Say Her Name is a ballad as long as it's good. actually I want something like Dear Family ;_; this song is so christmas-y to me :p

Kingdom 21st November 2011 01:21 AM

She is so beautiful on the EMODA cover... :heart I love this lady so much.

SMH @ Omarion though... wtf? Fergie, B. Howard, Omarion... does she have a list of horrible american singers she wants to collab with? (I love Passing by tho and I kinda like That Ain't Kuu)

Minttulatte 21st November 2011 03:39 PM

^That Ain't Kuu :D I always hear them sing like that XD

Say her name's gonna be a ballad? :'D I thought it's gonna be something like Under or SHAKE IT... :'D

kaled kalil 21st November 2011 03:58 PM

I like That Ain't Cool, the solo live version is cool with she singing more on the chorus, but I hate Passing By... I can't with that guy... I'm just waiting for the solo version on the Dejavu Tour.

It would be cool if Say Her Name starts as a ballad and then is a uptempo song, like Hush Hush (PCD).

EDIT~



It seems that Love Me Back PV will have two versions: single and album. If someone could translate correctly, I'll appreciate it.

Ayu_Love 21st November 2011 08:37 PM

Hahaha awww, no love for B. Howard, I actually liked him in Passing by. :') Although he does have quite a boyish voice.

It's when Justin Bieber is on that list of collaborations that I will throw myself out a window.

Say Her Name will be a sad love song
She mentioned that she received a lot of stories from her fans about being betrayed by their boyfriends. It's something like: I want you to say my name more (rather than "her" name) kind of feeling.

The Love Me Back PV will have 2 versions. On the single version, you can suddenly see police-Kuu suddenly changes to nurse-Kuu. The single version is more focus on the dancing and singing part. Meanwhile the album version will have more detailed stories & scenes why police Kuu changed into nurse Kuu. (sorry for the crappy explanation)

It seems they hate her because she's too cute / overexposed on the media, but I think this is so mean, she's just a child...

sorry for the offtopic but I just couldn't believe when I saw her name on that list, she was so awesome in Mother, I cried like a baby in each episode T__T

happiholic★ 22nd November 2011 12:50 AM

LOL @ Justin Bieber comment. I love Passing By with B. Howard too. I don't think I'd like a solo version...

Looks like the album version of Love Me Back will be the one I care about.

Justin Bieber, Mana Ashida...uhh...that did not make sense here...

Corvina 22nd November 2011 02:46 PM

I'm surprised Say Her Name will be a sad love song.
Almost all her ballads are written by japanese songwriters, probably cause of that certain style Japanese love.
But maybe it won't be that ballady?

Happy about two LMB PV versions which seem worthy! :)

Minttulatte 22nd November 2011 03:21 PM

Nice, two different PVs. :3 I gotta watch them both when it's possible~ <3

Corvina 22nd November 2011 04:35 PM

Kuu is working really hard on the album.
Her team and her are planning to shoot another PV, this time with choreography.
So probably a dance song!
Info from her FC, thanks to Gubsi honey.^^

Gustavopc 22nd November 2011 04:40 PM

Oh, that's awesome! <3 Come to me, album with tons of PVs :heart

maze 22nd November 2011 10:43 PM

I have a good feeling about her next album. well I loved ALL the single tracks this time so I hope it becomes one of my faves from her :9

Btw, kuu is really fabulous, but in therms of pv's.. she's a goddes :yes

Gubsi 23rd November 2011 10:17 PM

so i was searching the FC blog how many PV's we have already, cause i wasn't sure if it's 4 or 5...

so i made this:
01. Boom Boom Boys (mid october i think)
02. cutie pop song (2011.11.09)
03. ??? finished a PV faster than expected (2011.11.15+2011.11.16)
04. ??? feat. Omarion (2011.11.18-2011.11.19)
05. dance choreo PV (2011.11.22-2011.11.23)

i really hope she use all her A-Sides for this album...
i don't want another "Hashire!" drama again!!
Hashire! wasn't my fave song, BUT i hate it when they left A-Sides..
BEST ~third univers~ tracklist was horror without JUICY, Aisho, Cherry Girl and Unmei!!
thats why i fixed it in my iTunes lol

Gustavopc 23rd November 2011 11:25 PM

Wow, Kuu is getting some international relevance on Asia, that's amazing :heart

About the album... Six PVs are too much, so if we're not getting a double a-side pre-single like Cherry Girl / Unmei, I'm totally sure that she's making PVs for the entire album. And they have time to prepare everything, cuz if they include the mini live on it, it'll be released just by March, and the tour starts on April, so imo everything fits.

happiholic★ 24th November 2011 03:00 AM

I'm super pumped for this album.

Kaiouforever 24th November 2011 07:58 AM

Side note: how can anyone hate Wada Akiko?

Yay for a new album! I'm excited for nurse and police Kuu.

Summary and translation of the Mnet Music Awards article:

Quote:

It’s been announced that Koda Kumi will make an appearance at the “2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)” which will be held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on November 29th. MAMA is the biggest music award show in Asia which is broadcasted live in 45 countries, and this upcoming show will be the 13th time for the event to be held.
Koda who has been active inside and outside Japan, received an offer for her powerful performance and singing skill.

Koda will be the only Japanese artist at MAMA, and she will go on the stage with other great artists. She commented, “I would like to try my best on the performance with great enthusiasm.”
Source:
shallowyetsmart@tumblr
and kumi-flash


That's an honor for Kuu to be invited to MAMAs and that as the only japanese artist.
And yay for her being that high up on the list for great PVs!
Kuu, I'm proud of you! :heart

Love the pic for the new PV, her look seems so punkrock - and that with a nice choreo!
I really, really can't wait for the album. I'm so damn excited about it just like I discovered her back in 2007!

Preview of Love Me Back (Andy Price Remix):

Say Her Name is kinda cool, but I don't like a lot the "say my name to my face". :|

tenshi no hane 24th November 2011 01:08 PM

^ I don't like the remix, but Say Her Name sounds great :heart Thanks for sharing!

LacusClyne 24th November 2011 01:43 PM

I'm pumped for kuu coming to Singapore! I'll try to see if I can get a ticket to the awards, but my sis is already going to see 2PM and Miss A, she's thrilled too, and made a board for kuu. Which I think it's awesome, as she's more of a casual fan.

Lee^ChaN 24th November 2011 02:14 PM

Just saw Kuu on FNS best Kayousei.
She sang Poppin'LoveCocktail and it's good.
She wore colorful outfit (yellow fur top & shoes)

Thanks Kaled for the preview.. Say Her Name isn't really my cup of tea

kaled kalil 24th November 2011 03:29 PM



WTF is she wearing? o_o

Beauty4123 24th November 2011 03:58 PM

haha, kuu's outfit is crazy. :P but the performance was great!

Minttulatte 24th November 2011 04:18 PM

Say her name preview sounded really pretty. I really like it. <3

Poppin' love cocktail performance made me feel so hyped and grin like a idiot. It was so energetic and Kuu's clothes were colorful :D Now I feel happy. Thank you Kuu <3

Hmm, I guess I gotta go look for more TV performances of Kuu's. I haven't seen that many though I've been a crazy fan since 2008. For some reason I never felt like watching her TV performances. I've only gotten into that since Suki de x3/Anata dake ga was released. :'D Of course, I've seen few performances in TABOO era and few even before that but yeah, it was rare that I watched TV performances before XD And no one's interested <3

//And awesome that she gets a chance to perform at MAMAs. She's so gonna own the stage. <3

Ahhh I was so excited when I saw Kuu would be performing on the MAMA awards from Tokyohive. It's such an Honor to be asked to perform there, and it'll be broadcasted in 45 countries so hopefully I may be able to see it! :heart Kuu's been working so hard, she deserves the recognition for her performances and work. People at Tokyohive and OMONA are really excited about it, too. Link for Tokyohive:
http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/11/kod...rform-at-mama/

Wow, I really like the preview for 'Say Her Name'! It really stands out for a b-side for me, like 'Always'. I don't like the remix as much but it's still good to jam too!

Omg that performance was epic. :D I loved what she was wearing, and the dancers. Although I would because I love 2NE1 for that sort of style, too. It was a powerful performance, I thought her vocal was great, and all the fans were chucking their towels around and loving it. :D Mjy favourite performances are always ones that have loads of energy and connection with Kuu and the audience, I'll definately be downloading that one in HD. :heart

@Dr.Dolce: I know a place where you can download all of Kuu TV lives, if you want to watch some. :) It's French and you have to become a member, but it only takes 2 seconds. I'll give you a link to the list of all her performances, if you'd like.

P.S That TV Guide photo is gorgeous! :heart

The album has 7 or 8 new songs, so I guess everything will have PV (and I hope so, I just love play Second Session and Kingdon DVD and watch a lot of PVs together).

I'm excited to see she performing on MAMA, if she sing Love Me Back will be really awesome, but I think she's gonna sing some old song (or even BE MY BABE once again).

She looks cute in this picture ♥

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/Xkf83NAmf0o/

CDTV performance for Physical Thing. IMO PT is one of her worst "****ty" songs, but in this live is pure love and perfection. Awesome dance, outfit and hair. This make me think in the fact that usually kuu music is for me like: "well, song is ok, nothing amazing, but I know that this in live, or even better: this performed in the tour is going to be awesome"

Some examples:
Can we go back. Is a simple rock song cover, nothing outstanding. but her performance in Dream music park/Universe tour is just breath-taking!
Black Cherry: nice song, but it's nothing of the other world, btw in Black Cherry tour is like: OMG, how you can be sooooo ***ing awesome!??!

If you like kuu, then her "live" part should be important :D she's always do her best on the stage :yes

Heavenly 24th November 2011 07:41 PM

I don't like Say Her Name, it's an RnB style ballad, and i hate when kuu did them... >_<
I'm looking forward to the new single, especially the new PV... we don't have anything yet ! Or almost...

Couldn't agree more with you. I also LOVE this PT live, one of my favorite ever :yes And I usually adore her ballads lives, they sound much more emotional live, plus songs like CWGB, PLC and POP DIVA are awesome on stage as well. Well, you know, she's da queen of live :heart

I agree that Kuu is aaawesome live, but that performance of Physical Thing is... easily my least favorite of any performance I've seen of her. It's so boring, she looks awkward in the closeups, and I don't like her outfit at all. x_x
