Let's chat.

ahh i can't wait for the TABOO pv

^And the full song!

I like your set thataintcool.
I wonder what the TABOO PV will look like.

Does Always also have a PV? :confused

^When is it gonna come out????

yeees!! i'm tired of listening to only the preview :eviltongu

& thank you AyuHamasaki01! :D
no Always won't have a PV. but i guess TABOO PV has two different versions??

2 different versions? What makes you think that? :confused *still drooling over your set*

that ain't cool your set is awesome
wait- that means the covers in bigger size are out????


*searching*

isn't it making PV + the PV ???

Overall, I think the covers are good. However her expression on the CD+DVD looks kind of awkward to me.

I've just seen the cover for TABOO. I love her outfits.

well it says that this is on the DVD:

DVD
01. TABOO MV
02. TABOO MV (Different Version)
03. Photo Slideshow

:cool

oh and TY minna!

oh! I thought it was the making of !

you're welcome d(^_^)

Even bigger, the CD version still looks weird... But, I ADORE the CD+DVD version!! :luv2 I can't wait for the single to be released! ^^

I hope TABOO PV is not going to be like GetUp&Move!

I love the CD only cover. I'm praying that the TABOO MV (Different Version) isn't too good or else I would be tempted to buy both :dead2

I would hate that.

I had this idea,what if the PV had Kumi dressed as a nun,but then...BAM!She doesn't have a nun outfit,but a outfit like she had on D.D.D(The one with the pink highlights)!

i guess TABOO will be her first SUPER hot song. By the preview, it reminded me kinda of Lady GaGa and the actual music people do in Korea. Hotness. <3

if anyone's interested, you can kill (somehow) your anxiety for TABOO listening to:
→ seo in young - cinderella
→ son dam bi - bad boy
→ epik high - one (feat. ji sun)

these songs have a super similar melody to TABOO.

I was worried about this next album especially after Moon ,but after listening to TABOO and the Kingdom intro I'm fine. They go together. Very soft and not too in your face kind of music.

Kingdom intro? do you think there'll be a full version of it on the album like Black Cherry on Kingdom? i'd love that, the song is so mellow and nice.

i really, really love these TABOO covers. she looks so great. i'm glad i ordered both versions! the photobook is going to be gorgeous. i hope the PVs are great too.

GIRL POP FACTORY airs on the 5th at 9 PM Japan time, so if it's uploaded tomorrow we should have it sometime in the early afternoon!

I love the TABOO covers specially the CD+DVD one

Not bigger covers, but slightly better in quality. :D

are those photoshopped? the coloring is different.

i think no, but who knows? i took these at a random chinese board.

The covers are sweet.
I want to hear a full version of TABOO!

^ ugh same here. i am so impatient!

those HQ covers rock my socks. :D give us the PV, avex? they air videos so late. :weep

Yea =/ Other artists' performances i.e DAI are already released like a few days ago :(

I like the CD+DVD version better. I don't like the pose of the other. That's such a weird way to hold her head. That bubble skirt looks nice. I would never wear it in public but it's really cute on her. I want that rosary necklace. Seriously where did those outfits come from?


Yep that's the one. It would fit with the album if the songs are any indication. I hope there's a full version of that song too. I wonder if it even exists. Kuu didn't open Kingdom with the Kingdom intro like she opened the Black Cherry tour with Black Cherry so maybe it doesn't exist.

long haired kuu always makes me happy!!

yess! like in your sig, i loved her hair long like that

Does anyone post this ?

Yeah.. That was on the last Kuu thread! :laugh

yeah, it's been posted before. i love it!
pre-ordered already but almost 2 months until i get it :(

considering how big it's supposed to be, i have no idea how we can get HQ scans... there doesn't seem to be any from the 2008 calendar.

maybe i can take it to kinkos! haha

Her weave looks great on the TABOO covers.

I love the covers. I just made a set with the covers :)

pretty! good job!

pretty! kinda reminds me of moon crying covers

looks great! :yes
yours too kirei_ayumi

I'm agree with you
I hope we'll listen full TABOO quickly

agree

does anyone think that the CD only cover of TABOO , the expression that she made resembles the 1 that she did for the CD + DVD cover of FREAKY ?

Thanks for the bigger covers.
I absolutely love them! :love

Kumi is doing a good job on her photoshoots lately.
I like most of her photoshoots, but recently I love them all!

i just watched cutie honey in kingdom tour, and i was frozen by kuu's pole dance! she dance so great! everything is smooth and sexy! love that performance!

^ LOL! i liked that performance, especially the part where she rubs her boobs. her pole dancing was great~

I see, thanks for posting.
I really hope it are good PVs.

Thanks. I really love the CD+DVD.

I hope so ,cause I'm dying to hear the complete song !
and see the PV !

^Oh,thanks!I'll photoshop them!

TABOO doesnt sound that dirty (which is not a good thing since I'm up for some JUICY-dirty-alike) but the covers are hot O_O

you know...Im glad they didnt put that font all over her body...lol...I really like those covers....and I would steal her clothes! haha!

Her facial expressions ruined the whole cover >_<

omg..these covers are amazing even in big quality. :love

hm..the covers are a bit plain...and very reminiscent of her photobook from her "secret" tour...but oh well--i LOVE the preview of the song, so thats all that matters :D

lol That's pretty cool.

omg the comments on that video make me lol
there was a version like that of D.D.D.

it was so funny when it says "when the show begins i be the girl you've never met"

lol it still sounds like kuu, but with the pitch lowered, but its quite cool...

thanks for the bigger covers. they are gorgeous~

guys, I don't know if any of you heard the preview yet, but I found one and also the tracklist with a song called "Always":

http://www.kodakumi.co.uk/index.php

"TABOO" preview player on the right of the page...

it sounds good to me :)

haha yeah..i've only listened to it over 200 times :innocent

crap, I'm all late lmao

^ lol that's okay

so i have a question for you guys. what do you think about kumi being cute, IE koi no tsubomi PV, anytime PV, birthday eve PV. i showed those to my friend today and she's like "she's trying too hard to be cute, she's so fake"
do you prefer kumi being cute like that, does it annoy you, do you think it's fake?

^ As long as it's not overkill like in the Wonderland PV, it's fine with me :yes

^^ I really like Sexxy-Cutte Kuu @_@ Like, she pulls of a mixture greatly.

I don't like her cuteness at all. Most of her cute songs are garbage. I don't see anything particularly cute about her doing that cute stuff. She looks ugly and seems to be tryin' to hard. =/ IMO, she just needs to stick to her sexy way.

^ Tell us how you really feel, Luv :P

^:laugh

I don't mean to sound so mean. lol It's just that she doesn't need to do stuff like that. She's tryin' to pull off the cute and the sexy and it's just a big mess. Like in my BUT ava, she's clearly cute without even trying to be cute but sexy. (Sorry but I really love her smile in that pic. :lmfao) That's how I like her to look or wuteva. I don't want anymore "anytime". She was just ugly cheesing to hard, and just irritating. :irked I hope AVEX will finally keep her away from the cute crap.

^I agree. I think she's the cutest when she's not trying to be cutesy.

I thought she had a decent balance in Someday PV. It was cute and happy, but it wasn't sugary and cutesy. Cutesy bothers me, like Wonderland PV or Twinkle PV. And tbh I don't think her voice is very suited for Cute songs. It was fine in Koi no Tsubomi and Anytime (although I have issues with that PV), but when she does the weird nasally thing to make it cuter, just no, Kuu, no. >_>

For the first time I didn't really liked TABOO preview, BUT now I've become addicted to it!:luv2
Hope the whole song will be even MORE better!
~crossing my fingers~

Oh, and thnx for the bigger covers, I wish she could remain with that TABOO hair style all post Kingdom era.

I keep listening to the TABOO preview on repeat, I really like it!

the more i listen to it, the more i like it! if you have itunes, go into the equalizer and put it on the spoken word preset, it sounds clearer and better!

also if you put on headphones REALLY loud it sounds better too... the preview is pretty lq but i still love it.

Sooooo those covers... They're alright. She's obviously giving a kick back to her older days WHICH I MISS TERRIBLY HAVE I MENTIONED THAT?!?!

Whatever **** she's wearing in that Sanspo or whatever thing looks like she grabbed from a few random racks in a thrift store and it just ain't workin'. :/ But wth is that other woman wearing?! Were they doing "who can wear the weirdest ****" contest?! :irked

Her calendar for 2008 sucked. I know because I've had it on my wall since January. I missed out on Ayu's so I ordered Kuu's and I am none too happy about it, LOL. So I hope this year will be different. Well, it will because I won't be ordering Kuu's even if the pictures are better! :laugh I am looking forward to seeing some BETTER ones though. At least, they better be better...

And I agree with you Luv, about her "cuteness" crap. I effn HATE when she's trying so hard to be cute. HATE IT. She needs to be sexy and a little ****ty at times just to spice things up, but seriously, if she just did what she did during her "BUT" era, I'd be a happy Kuu-amper!

EDIT: HOLY ****! That youtube Black Cherry male voice thing?!?!! I AM LAUGHING SO HARD I'M GOING TO PEE MYSELF!!!

Does koi no tsubomi count as being too cute? The song it self was very cute and the PV didn't over kill with the cuteness IMO. If she did something like that again I would be fine ;3

lol yeah i love the koi no tsubomi PV. i agree about the wonderland PV..it's just..too much. i think kumis personality is just naturally really cute and i don't mind it

The only video that I would say that was a "cute" kuu pv is Birthday Eve. I luffed it cause it was so girly and IMO, she wasn't really overracting with the cuteness or anything but just doing what a cheerful/happy girl would do on her birthday or wuteva. Other than WIND and Wonderland, Birthday Eve is my the only cute song I like. The other songs shoulda went to Ai. @_@

@taskin: Ikr! BUT was a perfect example of how I would like her to be for a while. I hope Taboo fulfills that wish srsly.

seriously i think WIND has a creative PV and meaningful song.

btw DVD blac cherry tour still on top 50 weekly chart

38　34　***,386　104,577　21　KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2007～Black Cherry～SPECIAL FINAL in TOKYO DOME　倖田來未

anytime PV wasn't that cute until the bunny costume part,and Koi no Tsubomi PV was cool too.The cute PV that I hate from Kumi is Birthday Eve.

i think she looks cute in "With Your Smile" PV

Thank you! I really love her outfits and the hair!

Nice.


You are a gift from heaven, really. I totally agree with you.
I don't want another "anytime" either. Though I like anytime I think once was enough.

Totally agreed <3

the more i listen to the wonderufl TABOO...the more the techno part feels like Ayu's WHATEVER opening

I liked with your smile, because she was cute, but it was more of a "I'm enjoying my summer and life" cute rather than "I must sprinkle everything with sugars and sparkles" cute, although I do have a weakness for Koi no Tsubomi. I think "with your smile" was her last "cute" PV that I really liked.

I thought Anytime would have been a decent PV, but I thought it was kinda...sloppily put together and the lighting kills me.

Although I like Birthday Eve for some reason, but watching that PV makes me want cake.

since you guys are speaking of koi no tsubomi, i'm now listening to it after a LONG time. memories :weep

^ lol! it's such a good song though, i never seem to tire of it~

Love that song, but Run For Your Life has got to be my fav cutesy song by Kumi. :yes

^The video is horrid tho. The song was okay (just cuz I like the remix) but it's a song I don't want her to do to often. Wonderland = :heart Wonderland PV = more horrific than a Jason movie

I love Wonderland. That song is so underrated but the PV for Wonderland was really crap.

Aww, I kinda like the video. :laugh More hooked on the song.

Yeah, Wonderland is nice, but the video was soo annoyingly crappy. I mean *******, can she do anything worse than this?

Yep, totally is and needs more love. PV like I said before sucks so terrible. May she never do PVs like that again.

BTW, luv your set Luv. You too, thataintcool. :luv2

thank you Hyorish!

i dunno when it will come out but i really hope it's soon..i'm dying to hear the full thing

Thankies Hyorish! My baby Nacho did it for me. I had to get a siggy of her Taboo covers. It's my fave cover of Kuu's...well, second fave. Kiseki is her best. :heart I just can't wait til the other scans come out for it. I know it's gonna be hot.

OMG it sounds awesome !!!

i hope the full rip comes out on the 15th...its not too long not too short

Taboo sounds interesting. I wonder, Always will be a ballad?
