Does anyone know where I can find HQ versions of the variant Shhh! covers? (Specifically the two black and white ones.)

^ Kaled posted them on the previous thread! :) Here they are

And thanks for the new thread, maze! That was fast ahahahah

Thank you :love and thanks to kaled too!

Kuu and her son in the backstage of FEVER a-nation

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

source is a chinese social group on facebook.

Guys do you think it's possible that Kuu is preggers? Her FNS outfit and now A-Nation Island are making me think so.

^ hahaha I don't think she would be dancing like she did at FNS if she was pregnant, especially in the beginning of a pregnancy. (I'm not an expert about it but the first months of pregnancy are really delicate, right?!)

^ Well actually at her MAMA and Vietnam performance she was at the very beginning of her pregnancy :laugh But it was like the first month or so... IF she was pregnant I doubt they would be putting the final concerts to sale normally, they would have already rescheduled stuff and so.

I also feel like it's a little weird how much black she's been wearing lately, even on FNS Una no Natsu last year she was wearing black during WOML and FREAKY, but I don't think it's anything more than her style right now. But I don't think she's pregnant.

She seems to be "playing" with her face a little tho. Her cheekbones are getting fuller, I don't know. Not complaining btw, she's gorgeous.
It's so weird when you "know" a face for 10 years and you kinda notice things getting different as the time goes by.

Random, but looking at that Best Singles banner, I must say I do love her covers as a whole body of work. They are all so vibrant. Maybe minus Come With Me lmao

I think Kuu is using black outfits now most of the because she has a "black color phase" going. Also, black is often considered to be a sexy color so why not? She still looks classy. :)

Our Kuu looking prettier than ever!

from LINE.

she looks great:love:love

god, she's so stylish love it

She's also wearing a lot of high waist when performing and a lot os loose shirts when posting candids photos and etc. I love those theories hahahah

that pic is AMAZING

Indeed her fashion style is amazing, love the pic :heart

Guys I was taking a look at Kuu's page on generasia and there's this song listed there:
Does anyone know if this is any different from the original mix other than being a short ver?

Also, does anyone have these tracks? Never heard of them before

^if i remember correct i have...

DJ YUTAKA - BELIEVE
(i have the single and tbh guys it's my most hated Kuu song ever)

JHETT - Just Go Remix
real Emotion Champion Remix
SOULHEAD - XXX remix

i never heard of the meaning of peace remix or the Alive mix either...
there's even a faraway mix, which is just the same song without the 2nd verse and after the chorus it goes straight to my favourite part of the song/ why i like it even more lol

That pic from LINE is everything! The hair and shoes...just everything.

Agreed!

I've actually always liked BELIEVE :x haha

I just found BELIEVE on tudou and quite liked the song! It's a kind of music she's not been doing lately and it was so fresh listening to that track :laugh Gubsi, could you please share those songs when you get the time? :)

And yeah I also know of this version of faraway, I used to have it on my iTunes also but lost it god knows when. That's why I wanted to know if the Alive mix is just a shorter version or another mix indeed before hunting down the internet looking for it

She looks stunning here.

The real Emotion remix is a great trance track, here you go:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/j3...n_Remix%29.mp3

Never heard of the the meaning of peace [tatsumaki remix] as well, but as it's on a trance album, I just went ahead and won the album on Yahoo - I love trance. :laugh
So if you wait some time, I gonna upload it, when it's here.

The Soulhead songs you listed are just the original version of XXX and its instrumental from the single, aren't they?

Thanks a lot for sharing the real Emotion one!

I managed to find the remix of the meaning of peace, it's really nice. I'll also give the other songs in the album a listen later. If anyone wants the remix, I've uploaded it on Google Drive.

And the XXX version seems to be vinyl release? I found it on YT and will probably rip it from there if I don't find a HQ one:

The instrumenstal is interesting but the vocals seems a bit off for me...? Like a fanmade acapella put on another song's instrumental :P

Thanks for the real emotion remix. It's nice!

I have the trance album with the tatsumaki remix on it. There's a lot of good trance songs on there, my favorites being the a song is born remix with ayu and Keiko and also the lovin' it remix with Namie.

And yah the real emotion mix is fire! The crazy 4 u remix from the alternate super j-euro album is unbelievable too - it's very 80s inspired and prismatic. The INSPIRE remix from the same album (by ayu) is also wicked fun.

And if you haven't heard the carols stf remix which is from the same album as the real emotion mix then you are missing out on that too.

I can try to upload trance album if I get a chance, but probably won't have time today.

Here is the majority of the song+nation2 -trance- album,

HOWEVER, since I read mediafire only allows 200mb limit on uploads, I uploaded the following two tracks separately and didn't include them in the zip file.

Namie Amuro & M-FLO - Lovin' it (tatsumaki remix)

Koda Kumi & BoA - the meaning of peace (tatsumaki remix)

That's the style that's coming back though. A lot of these clothes are fashions that were common in the 90's.

thanks for the both mixes:love

thx Zeke. for the remix! <3
sorry for the late reply, been working alot all the time D:
of course, will send u a pm ^^

yeah the Alive version is probably just an orchestrated instrumental like the Unmei one from that Ooki movie or what it's name was, but it's nice to have it anyways..

Omg, finally someone uploaded that real Emotion remix. 8D I have wanted to listen to it for years but had no luck finding it before so I'm really happy. :)

Totally offtopic but finally I ordered 2 KLOOP figures part 2 from Yesasia, I'm so happy ^^

She looks amazing :heart Now I want this outfit:laugh

damn those gams! :O

she's gorgeous!

Stylish Queen! We need more cool merchandise! I love all the 15th anniversary merchandise and my BEST SINGLE COLLECTION Shhh! hoodie.

wheres this years album at

She never promised one tho...? :P

She's touring the hell out of her with a possible Hawaii mini tour, I don't expect anything new until this tour is over

I want somenthing new but well she is busy

Kuu will probably announce something late December or in January

BIKYAQUEEN socks will be sold from 3rd Sept onwards

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1039224
http://loft.omni7.jp/general/lp/bikyaku

The socks will be sold at 6,200 Yen in 3 sizes - small , medium & large . Early purchase will include a sticker

That's really expensive , it looks more like stockings to me

Merch queen yaaaaasss

edit: I just realised I still do not have the audio rip from the full version of The Artist. Does anyone have a rip and could share it? :)

Are they special socks in any way? There are diagrams in the ad that look like they are explaining some unique property...

Yeah, those aren't normal socks, it's compression hosiery. Really popular in Japan among women for beauty treatments.

So now Queen Kuu has a socks line as well? Damn, she'll become a ruler of a franchise/merchandise empire soon xD

As for the next album, I think she'll release a album in early 2017. She obviously don't feel the need to release a studio album every year anymore and I'm OK with that. I've been waiting for a new Gaga album for 2 years already lol. :D

Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/download/a4..._The_Artist.7z
I don't have it in MP3 tho, I can't even remember where did I get this one from lol.... Speaking of THE ARTIST, I think it's one of my if not Top 3 but Top 5 favourite Kumi's Live Shows for sure. I was just watching it again tonight and I looooooove it so much. Flawless Queen. I also think that LOADED is such a perfect song to perform on a big stage, no surprise she performed it again at SANKYO a-nation.

Thanks a lot :heart

One user from Baidu went to the concerts last weekend.
He bought Shhh! - and from his pics, there are other motives now for the 7 photos you can get when buying the single.

http://imageshack.com/a/img923/79/6U3eTK.jpg

According to him a lot of people attending were buying the single after the show (he also posted pics).
That's most probably the main reason, why we won't get a new release before the tour ends. The single still sells.

Btw. he also met her male dancers afterwards. You can take a look on his post here, big thanks to him:

Those small packages looks like condoms. haha

At this point we know they get a lot of money from the goodies, that's why they are always releasing new batches. And good to know that the single is still selling good, I wish we could see the actual number of sales, but that's not gonna happen.

Only more three weeks until the WOWOW broadcast of the concert, I'm excited! I hope the footage is just like the WOML Tour, where pretty much everything was there, except for the ENCORE (which I don't really care anyway).

This picture made me dream about an official Instagram account :(

cool:love

Such great pics and they're not even posted to Koda Gumi =___='

Had my mp3 player on shuffle on the way to work today and a Triple Kumi Combo came on:

Megumi no Hito
U Know
Break It Down (classic!)

Kloop condoms in the next batch of goods lol imagine

This woman is my fashion icon!! I love everything she wears! I wish I had access to her wardrobe :P

Didn't she have condoms as goodies though? Back in her secret days when she was serving full erokakkoi realness? Or am I crazy? LMAO

Yes, she had.
And it's also not the first time she has underwear as tour merch, it's actually the third.

I'd get knoked up if I got Kuu condoms, I would want to keep them forever :P

"Serving full erokakkoi realness" best thing I've heard all day lmao. If only that were a challenge on Drag Race :P

Yep! I remember her throwing them and giving them out while wearing her "Who's hung like a bull?" shirt! :laugh

Love the right outfit. :heart She looks amazing.

Oh my god, did that really happen?! :laugh Does any of you guys have a picture of that shirt by any chance?

I'm at home now, so I can upload pics.

The condom box:

I've never seen any of these goods before. I'm amazed. Thanks for sharing!
Panties are kinda cute as merchandise

Omg those goods are amazing! I seriously wish she would do stuff like that again. Also, is it possible to view her tour goods from her early days anywhere?

LOL! OMG I totally forgot about this t-shirt! Makes me nostalgic for old Kumi times, but man what an awful shirt lol!

OMG! I'm dying with this goodies hahahah Ero-kakkoi to the maximum!

I think it was during LOVE HOLIC where she was throwing condoms to the audience, she wore that shirt for the encore. And If I'm not wrong she did it again in Dirty Ballroom during Bounce performance.

It's an amazing shirt! I would wear it proudly lmao

OMG Now I really want one of those panties :heart

BTW, I have a question, why she uses the '93' on her merchandise?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think in Japanese 9 is pronounced "ku" and 3 is pronounced "san." So ku + san = kuu-san.

Oh my never heard of those goodies :laugh Kuu you're amazing

Iirc it's meant to be Kuu-Mi

Because 3 in Japanese can be pronounced as san or mii in mittsu (三つ) :yes

OHHHHHHHH, i see it now xD Thank you jiarongisme and jean-baptiste :D

No, sadly not, or at least not that I know of. Would love to have a gallery of some sort. I've collected a bunch of pics and infos in all my fan years.

omg THANK YOU SO MUCH, Corvina! these goodies are giving me life :luv2

The string with 'Lick me' on it though :roflmao

Girl has been overpromoting Lick me even before SPLASH came out already, queen of marketing

I'm so so glad you found pics of it! I still love the Secret concert sooooo much!

Sounds like "Why not having sex after watching me in this tour? Just do it"

HAHAHAHAH queen of inception.

I can't get over this goodies, they are amazing. <3 please bring back kuu's condom

A snippet of V.I.P.'s demo in Jessie J's voice leaked, Koda Kumi France has posted it. It doesn't even sound like Jessie lol But you can't judge a demo also

Kuu should have asked for Jessie J to feature her vocals on the final version instead of adding T-Pain

The "lick me" panties tho

Funny to hear V.I.P. in other voice hahah This demo sounds a little more aggressive. Kuu's version is more sexy. Interesting demo tho! Thanks for sharing :)

I like Kuu's version better :yes But then again, this is just a demo :D

Jessie's voice doesn't really even suit the music style V.I.P. represents in my opinion. But then again, it's just a demo so whatever. I'm glad Kuu accepted it as her own song because it still slays me.

And no, I'm not hating on Jessie J at all. Just sayin'.

Also, the ero kakkoii merchandise from 2005-2007 amazes me. :D I did know about those condoms as I watched FIRST CLASS LIMITED LIVE but I honestly had no idea of the other things, haha. This girl was such a bad girl back then lol. XD She has changed so much since then. <3

I'd also love to see a gallery of all merchandise of kuu.
actually I'd love to see a collection of several artists over the years, so inspiring! :)

^fans could just take candid shots of their stuff and someone could collect it online

Kuu went to the Summer Sonic festival in which Fergie was a performer

With Kenji and I don't know who is the other man, sorry xD

With Fergie -from instagram & facebook-

Fergie also posted the same photo via Twitter

https://twitter.com/Fergie/status/767193332808286208

It's so nice that both of them still kept in touch after all these years

Hope they will have a new song..

but I still can't stand for MILF that song..

thxx for the pics both looks great:D

It would've been great if Kuu was in Fergie's MILF MONEY video!

10 years since their first photoshoot together... time really flies.

YES YES YES this song is my GUILTY pleasure and Kumi needs a song like that. It's so dooooope.

I'm glad that they are in touch but I can't imagine how awkward their interactions are, I remember TAC making of and Koda's response to everything being "yayayayaya" looool

Kumi is so fun, I love her xD

I thought the same :yes

hahahahaah I always think about it. It must be such an awkward moment but still cute.

It's funny that in the Scawaii photoshoot they made Kuu looks taller than Fergie haha

MILF $ feat. Kuu on the japanese version of the album pls lol
Would have been cool if they had performed that aint cool together there. I actually like the song a lot

Kuu actually dressed like if she was going to perform there lol they're so hot!

Don't see why Kuu wasn't featured in the M.I.L.F. $ video; Kuu is definitely one lol. Love that song. I wouldn't mind another Kuu x Fergie collab if it was as aggressive as that song.

I guess she was not featured mostly cause she was in another continent lol Probably everyone on the video was shot in the same studio and bringing people from distant places would be a schedule mess

It's nice to see them together after so much time. I don't want to hope for another collab, but it'd be cool if they worked on something that sounds more like WOML (the album)

No Fergie, thanks. She does nothing for me. I've waited too long for a Kuu release for it to be stank.
