Where can I get the iPhone case?

not sure if AP but theres some more previews up on her site
http://rhythmzone.net/koda/cover/

Shake Hip is so hawttttt!!!

情熱 is pretty interesting. I like her vocals here.
Blue Velvet...WOW ROCK?!?! This is cool :D
「男」sounds good too!! aiyaiyaiyai~~~
どうにもとまらない why more autotune!? but this song sounds awesome too HAHA

Oh my god this woman never fails me. This album is taking too long to come out, I need it NOW

I hope the album leaks tomorrow (I don't think so, but a man can dream, right? XD). I want to listen the previews but I won't.

Waiting for this gets more painful by the minute. I've only heard the three main tracks (Pink Spider, Shake Hip!, Lovely) and I need more in a serious way.

all i can say is that i effin' love the previews, love the Shake Hip! pv preview and love this ******* expensive iPhone case that i'll buy if they have them at the concert...

just one week and we'll have the leak and i hope for gods sake that we won't have another "Go to the top Drama" again...
like Godney said: i hate f... waiting!!
x and out :heart

Gubsi dahling your set is almost as gorg as u xx

new previews bore me, and she really doesn't have enough soul in her voice to pull off 情熱. still only looking forward to Shake Hip!

I'm so in love with ラブリー :heart , it's so easy to listen , the melody is nice and makes me happy . I LOVE IT :heart

BLENDA HQ scans were up at peeproom

so true :luv2

I just read through 7-8 pages of Kuu stuff. I need to take these breaks more often so I have more stuff to read. XD

I can't even express how excited I am about this cover album now. I hope it leaks soon. ♥

From Koda Gumi Thailand

I want the Live CDs ): I hate those FC limited releases

OMG so many LIVE CDs?!

the BLENDA photoshoot is amazing! :heart

FC members can buy more than one copy of the live cds?

LOL @ Premium Night covers.

And why more Live CDs? We want more blu-ray, sweetie, and not CDs just for the FC.

those covers look WOW...
her dress was that big huh

I really like the Love & Songs DVD covers, beautiful :)

Excited to hear the full version of Passion. I've liked that song ever since I heard a sample of it in Miliyah's Passion.

WOWOWOWOWOWWOOOOOOO KUMI PLEASE .... I don't have a pool of dollars to buy all these stuff , girl slow down :thud

2013年3月20日発売

2枚组DVD￥4,980（tax in）RZBD-59357～8
Blu-Ray￥6,030（tax in）RZXD-59359

^ is this the concert where fans got to vote their fave songs out of her entire discography to make up the setlist?? :o

^ Yea that's the one ! :D

Agreeeed :heart Blue Velvet is the kind of song I want Kuu to do more of and 「男」 is making my ears happy too.
After going over all the stuff we've got so far, I'm getting incredibly excited for this album. Couldn't stand Lovely at first but now I can't get the friggin' chorus out my head and my ears are starting to appreciate Pink Spider :p

So tempted to order CD+DVD+photobook tomorrow...bye bye money~

Is it still to far for a leak? Gosh I wanna hear this album so badly. T__T

The new DVD covers are so gorgeous!!! :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

But a sense of deja vu...Did a fan make a similar version before? lol

^ I did XD

Driving Hit's 5 cover:

http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/1...4885841520.jpg

One flawless cover after another, can this woman be more perfect?

oh my DH5 cover... hot!

Your cover is so similar lol.. No way they didnt see it first haha

Ok yeah! I knew I wasn't crazy! But crazy how similar their's and yours are! Did you post at peeproom? Maybe they saw? :love

And I think this may be my favorite Driving Hits cover! So flawless :thud :luv2

She is so perfect right now. It's unbelievable.

Wait there was a Driving Hits 3 and 4?????

kaled kalil, their covers are crazy similar to yours! I wonder if they used your for... inspiration?

DH5 cover is super cool!

best driving hit's cover yet. i usually hate them. i hate the slicked back look on her, she has it there but you can barely see it

Wow she is so awesome I love her so much, she's simply the best!!!

!♥♥♥♥♥!

Btw: Do you guys think she will also release her other live concert where she had the long blond hair and the black outfit from MAMA??

^ It was already aired on TV iirc

OMG THAT COVER!!! I WAS NOT LOOKING FORWARD THIS RELEASE BUT NOW OMG

URGH y u so flawless Kuu?

This woman is flawless. Love the covers :heart

yes!!
http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Koda_Kumi_Driving_Hit's_3
http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Koda_Kumi_Driving_Hit's_4

The DH5 cover is really nice....probably her best DH cover yet :yes The Premium Night covers are pretty but they clearly saw kaled's cover first!!!! :mini

Oh okay do you have any link for a download of it in HD??

come to the internet today to find so much amazing Kuu news
both excited & shocked :D

good quality new dvd covers, idk if they were posted

oh. my. god.

Those are kaled's covers!!! hahaha


I looooooove the DH5 cover. It's really really cool!

thank you for the bigger covers! :D

driving hits 5?!?!
YAY!!
i would like to know why kuu can have at least 1 remix album a year... but ayumi cant be bothered. :headache

kaled kalil, SUE THEM ! lol

Driving Hits 5? WhAt?! Do we have a track list?

omgg your sigg, could you post the original picture of it? dunno where it is from...

kuu's part at music for all, all for one is up in HD @ jpopsuki

http://jpopsuki.eu/static/images/torrents/127319.jpg

some JAPONESQUE tour goods are up too.

kaled's covers > everything else. and HOLY **** THAT REMIX COVER DFJKLSAFJDSKLA THAT'S SO COOL.

So I'm previewing Eternity ~Love & Songs~ (is that how you stylize it?) and I'm debating on whether or not I should buy it along with Color the Cover. Thoughts? Can anyone persuade/dissuade me?

^ I really like a few songs on it :yes

from LINE

Kuu posted these today

For me, it's the best ballad album fulfilled with great upbeat tracks (め組のひと and BE MY BABY). :love
Although I don't own mine yet. But I'm thinking of finding a first press with slipcase in Yahoo Japan Auction since I'm addicted with the first press and limited things. lol

And I'm excited with new blu-ray!!! The cover is beautiful.

While I really love the album, in comparison to Color the Cover, there isn't really a lot on it in terms of bonuses. Its comes in just CD-only, no DVD, no nothing. Personally, I like to get extra stuff when buying :P Like I said though, the music is amazing. I would say the live is the best, though.

all the releases oh lord... #rip
DH5 flawless as hell, really love this!

got Kuu's message via LINE app today and i'm happy she's blonde right now... hope she keeps it at least for the first concerts!!
i was happy when i saw her strawberry blonde at Dream music park and now i hope for my blonde JAPONESQUE guuuuuurrrrlrlkkjlj

and YAASSSS @ the Tour Goodies Basics!!
totally can see myself with that FC stuff and that Light stick wavin' the way to my seat!

hope the 2nd part of goodies will have something like a small fan, kimono and those beautiful umbrellas from her JAPONESQUE cover/Pink Spider PV!!

and lol @ the actual Premium Cover looks like the kaled kalil one's... #imdone
i got this from a sig on baidu (langstonzhou)!
BUT i don't know where it's from, sorry...
this is the biggest size i have:
http://i45.tinypic.com/8zhbhs.png
oh honey's, free **** for both of you... :heart lol


ok gworls, first all that Kuu slayage and now Mariah's Almost Home has leaked...
what is this!?
i constantly died & revived for the past 2 days and got multiple orgasms without my boyfriend by my side...
how can someone like Kuu can slay me for like years..!?
bye

I thought ETERNITY was boring as Hell.

The only song I totally love is BE MY BABY.

Megumi no Hito is fun but it can get quite annoying.

^whaaaaaaat!?

how can you not like 0時前のツンデレラ, 小さな恋のうた or さよならの向こう側!?
and ワインレッドの心 is really great, even the Original version is 10 times better and like my fave 80s J-Pop Song..!?

what i love about ETERNITY is that it's giving me feel my mind teas, which is like one of her jewels in her catalogue!

Easy. You go and listen to 夢のうた and realize it's basically the same song....only way better.

I only like BE MY BABY and Megumi no Hito...but I was still impressed with the album.

those are the only ones I listen to though.

and nothing beats the megumi no hito "milking" dance.

get it? beats? lol....sorry.

^^sorry, BUT this made me laugh...
夢のうた is miles better yes, BUT i realized nothing, sorry...

oh and ふたりで••• sounds like 夢のうた, BUT 夢のうた is way better!
And hey surprise i don't care, cause i love both!!
so i don't really see ur point here...
i mean should i dislike Butterfly cause it's a Cutie Honey 2.0!?

i think ETERNITY was great!
not the best album of all time, BUT i love how she's doing her own thing with those songs.
i can understand if someone don't like everything, BUT i wouldn't say it's boring or something like that...
i think the whole concept (covers+booklet, songs, Billboard Live, etc.) speaks for itself!
it's not like she's calling it Rock'n'Roll ETERNITY ~Pump Up The Volume~ and throwing ballads at it!

thanks gubsi* I'm guessing it's from mika's new photobook NINAGAWA WOMAN 2, we already got a picture of kuu in the native american outfit. maybe this is another picture from that book?

I also love her current blonde, it's amazing :luv2

by the way, all the new LIVE CDs (except the Premium Night one which is FC limited) are rental CDs only!

I agree with emi♡ about ETERNITY. although I still listen to 0-ji mae no tsunderella and Sayonara no mukougawa from time to time.

ai no uta is horrid but the urban kiss version is :heart

do you ever make sense?

It's more fun that way

anyway, im so excited for the cover album
i never thought i'd say that. but i am. does this mean my kumi love is being rekindled? i hope so. its about time too.

I wish Eternity had more interesting physical release. I didn't buy it simply because I don't buy CD only version of albums and the PVs were on DEJAVU anyway, but it if they released it with PVs and photobook I'd get it right away.

Color the cover doesn't seem to be as good so far but I won't judge until I hear them live (hopefully), Kuu's songs get better live :p

lol at this.

Beautiful covers <3

@happiholic★ and @SKYia That's okay for me. Although I would LOVE to get the Color the Cover photobook, I can't afford that version so I will probably end up getting CD-Only.

Thanks for the input, guys. I really, reeeally love Megumi no Hito and BE MY BABY so I may just end up getting it.

Stan for Yume no uta!!!

Oh! If you are going for content of the CD, then its a buy from me. There are some songs that stand out more than others, but I think its a solid and mature album. If you like Kuu's koochie poppin' songs the most you may not like it and find it boring. The Billboard live was the perfect stage for it, because its a really lounge sounding album. Relaxed, jazzy, intimate. I love that kind of feeling when listening to music, so yeah. I love it. All of it.

I really like it, in terms of music I think I like it a looooooooooot better than CtC actually :yes I think you'll like it if you like jazz kind of music, I love jazz so I bought it :)

out of the new album,the only songs I'm digging are Lovely, Shake Hip! and Jounetsu

Okay, I was away for a few days and there's lots of news regarding Kuu's releases. Live albums? DH5? Live DVD? Oh, you can kill me now because this is too awesome. XD ♥

Mature is a good word, it's an album I'd show to my parents and there's a hint of chance they might not hate it (since they hate everything I like just for the sake of it), but I hardly listen to the albums as it is, the songs are so much better live, 0-ji Mae no Tsunderella has such amazing lyrics it makes me cry when combined with piano live, sweet memories was amazing opening with Kuu surprising people on the balcony in the club, I was smiling like stupid watching that :p, TATOO has great energy live, Megumi no Hito and Be My Baby are just killer songs, Chisana Koi no Uta is my favourite, I love the chorus, I didn't know Swallowtail Butterfly until she sang short fragment on Dejavu tour but it gives me amazing goosebumbs, especially during the 'kokoro ni, kokoro ni" part and when chorus dies into the 'hajimaru' <3 I admit I don't really remember the rest of the songs. Live versions FTW!

Sorry if my affection for those songs hurts some haters here :p

^ I feel exatcly the same way bout Swallowtail Butterfly :heart

the Driving Hit's 5 cover is really nice! :heart

Very true. My mom enjoyed the Billboard live of this album.

Also, I think I'm the only one who loves Ienai yo.

^I prefer the duet she did live with Hiromi Go on FNS Kayousai '08. it was so perfect!

OMG, I didn't even realized that's the same song, LOL, I've known that live duet but never really listened to the CD version.

that duet.... *-*

I love that duet as well, they did so good together <3 And when Hiromi sang "Kumi" instead of "Kimi" omg that was so cute :laugh

I'm late, but omg!! Kumi loook sooo hot in Pink Spider PV. <3

(whenever I see Kumi, I always wonder am I straight or whatever...) Woman's hot even after having the baby. :thud

I guess I'm the only one who thought the live was terrible, too :laugh

NAIL MAX cover

http://i.imgur.com/Auz95Xq.jpg

Wow that's an awesome cover. So beautiful and her hair is so nice, too♥

I'm sorry I hate it lol But only because it reminds me of Cybil Shepard, and I haaaattte Cybil Shepard.

I'm sure I just aged myself a million years by talking about her. No one knows who that is.


I wonder if she'll let her hair grow out again.

I like the pic itself but the cover overall looks so.. cheap rofl

I really love it :heart Love the hair!

that NAIL MAX cover is stunning! :heart

Oh my god, can't un-see.

Here's to being old together :P

this year so far rocks with new music!!
hehe.................... well, lol, can covers be counted as new, lol.

I love that Nail Max has the title written three times on the cover.

Also, that ring.

Thank you guys so much for your input... :heart Kuu fans rock. I'm definitely going to buy Eternity now. :)

That cover is a MESS.
Ugh burn it. It's like ayu's queen of photoshopped summer greasy mess

uuh love that cover!
and lol @ the Cybill hate... Cybill was one of my fave shows during puberty! har har #dead
