More previews for TRICK
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84967

Yay, a new thread... :P

My fav previews are the Introduction and This Is Not a Love Song... :luv2 I could barely hear Hurry Up!... :(

i love the introduction for trick! it sounds cool :cool
OMG. i was so hoping 'This is not a love song' would sound like this :heart i love it!
Hurry Up! just sounds strange to me.. like i don't really know what's going on in the song..
JTWYA sounds really cheesy...i don't like it
her voice in ai no kotoba.. :dead2

what new thread already T_T

not listening to the previews , I rather wait a bit longer for the full versions of songs :innocent

^ yeah other one was almost to 500

:scry i wish the introduction was a full song

well it wouldn't be called an intro for nothing if it was a full song it wouldn't make any sense

uhh.. i meant i wish it was a full song instead of the introduction..

^:laugh...I kinda wish it was a full song too...They should make hurry up the intro, and put intro as a full song.


Damn, so glad This is Not a Love Song isn't a ballad. I think I'm gonna like this song.

oh sorry I misread that my bad :dead2

Wow, a new thread. ^^

The thread is going real fast~ Woah~~

LOL @ Welcoming all of the TABOO show girls wearing Bling Bling Bling and using VENUS shavers to Kuu's 68th thread :roflmao nice one!

Haha, the first line made me lol and almost choke in my cheese sandwich. XD

I 2nd that :roflmao

Okay I just listened to the previews and it looks like this will be a much HAWTER album than Kingdom! I really like all the tracks! Ai no Kotoba's not bad though. I LOVE Introduction to TRICK and JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

(Btw, just realised KAT-TUN's releasing on march 4 too so it seems Kuu won't get #1 most probably :( )

A new thread already? :thud

Was there any actual news in the old thread anyway? :rolleyes (the last pages, of course)

this's what happens when you support both artistes :(

other than talk of whether should she put out another best album this or next year , you didn't really miss that much Kris

I just listened to the other previews of TRICK and here is what I have to say:

Ai no Kotoba - I really love how this ballad sounds. I think this is going to be a very nice ballad.
Hurry Up! - Not really impressed by what I heard, but I do believe that the full version of this song will make it sound better.
Introduction for TRICK - Surprising, tbh. I like INTRODUCTION better but this Introduction for TRICK if better than Introduction for Kingdom.
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE - A quite cute song. I like the sound of it. I hope the PV is good.
This Is Not a Love Song - Also surprising. I thought it would be a ballad, but it's not. I can't say that I like it though. Maybe that'll change.

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE is disappointing as for it's theme. I thought it was going to be like Christina's Beautiful with a "whoever you are, someone out there loves you"-theme. But I like it anyway.

I think this album rox~:D

Yaaaaaaay new thread

Looool I Love @ Welcoming all of the TABOO show girls wearing Bling Bling Bling and using VENUS shavers to Kuu's 68th thread

So The Boys Aren't Welcoming ? ;)

i love The intro It's the best intro ever i wish that too part of me why u didn't make it full ver :cry

hewo So This is not love song isn't ballad cooool ! i love it too

JTWYA is pretty wierd only I Like you I Like you Bla Bla Bla BUT it's intresting song should hear it full

Hurry up ! is Pretty awesome song it's a happy rock seems like happy days 4 ai otsuka i think the new anime will use this song !

Finally ai no kotoba :cry

i looooooooooooove it !

Yume no uta VS ai no kotoba

i love it it's so sad

@ Meat pao : OOOMMMGGG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kat-tun Noo Leave kuu alone with her 7th 1# single Kat-tun will beat kuu in one day only

OMG thier first day sales About 150k And Kuu Only 35k

Pleeez Kat-tun Realese it later u have long time :cry

We gonna make new Prayer Group to make kat-tun realese thier single in 11 march< GO TO HELL Twinkle ! lol :laugh

wow.. a new thread again. this is really fast!

A triple A-sided single is interesting. what good news!

y she have a compilation best album soon?

Normally I'm not a big fan of Kuu's ballads but I do like Ai no Kotoba so it just has to be a good ballad :laugh

SOMEDAY my posts will be posted... for sure
I know xD

WTF?!?!
xDDD

I've been trying to post all this week and they don't let me...!!
well... now that I can.. I want to say hello everybody! I'm new here (and yeah... my english is bad.. I'm from Spain! Hope we can understand us with patience xDD)

This is not a love song sounds awesome :yes

thanks a lot cutie! :D those pics were so good i had to request :love

I uploaded the radio rip of Just The Way You Are:

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84986

Thank you very much for the radio rip!
I'm gonna listen to it right away!

no news of that yet & thanks for the radio rip of JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

I really love JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!
The song is so awesome, I really love the music.

same for me Kris , it's just ... pretty

I really wonder how the video will gonna be like hmmmm

I really love the violin... :love From the preview, it sounded ok... But, it's pretty good... :luv2

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE is a bit Aoyama's style...
and IT'S SHORT!!! Thanks god... one song that not surpass the 4:30!! LOL

I like it more that I thought from the preview
Let's wait to see the PV

i like the song but i really wish she didn't say i like you i like you over and over again lol i love you or smth would've been better... but it's gonna be cute on her tour if she sings it i can imagine her like doing things w/ her dancers and waving to the croud yelling I LIKE YOU I LIKE YOU MINNA DAISUKI or smth bc she gets like that lol MINNA MINNA AISHITERU~ MOTTO MOTTO DAISUKI :rofl
it's probably going to be longer... show girl on the radio was shorter than the PV song too, so i'm expecting something longer. it's nice song though.

Oh no! ><; I must resist the previews!

I might listen to JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, because the PV will come out sooner or later...

I'll resist too. It comes out in 2 weeks.

Welcome to the Kuu threads! :wave But if you meant for this to be to the entire forum you're posting in the wrong place. You should make an intro thread in the Chat-room. ;) As for why you're posts weren't showing up, there's a whole bunch of threads discussing that in the FAQ section. :) Welcome again, though! Hope you have fun here! :D


As for Kuu, I'm gonna wait for the whole album to come out and resist the urge to listen to the previews. S'gonna be hard, but it's more fun that way. :D I'm really happy though that she's including another full live on one of her DVDs. I wish other artists would do that (coughcoughAYUcoughcough). Though it's worrisome that KAT-TUN is releasing on the same day. As much as I don't like KAT-TUN, their popularity is much higher than Kuu's (damn you JE boys!!!! :doh) and they've got that fangirl population following them. >_< Which means they'll probably get the #1 spot. Poor Kuu. :( Avex, start using your heads more. :headache

LOL... Welcome to the Kuu thread... :mischief

Yaaaay I Love it Good choice kuu 4 PV

but it's much better than preview cause the preview IS Boring ! Only I Like You I Like you Ok Understood i know u like me ;)

someone said that kumi said in a magazine that the PV will be of her in a theme park w/ her friends that sound like cutie!

@Twinkle: Um what are you talking about? Kuu won't release anything simultaneously with Arashi..

Edit: OOOH JUST THE WAY YOU ARE FULL VERSION.

Haha, it's really weird. But it's so sweet, and "I like you just the way you are" = so sweeet I love it. <3 This song has a great message ^____^ INSTA-FAV!!!!

I like the new previews we've gotten. My least favorite right now is Hurry Up!, but that might change when the full song's released.

I don't see what's wrong with JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, I can follow it quite well... and it's very cute :)

ooooh my god really sorry merlos and Meat Pao He Said KAT-TUN Sry Sry i have **** mind :eviltongu

i am gonna edit the old post

Twinkle ! you have beautiful Mind :love

ooh and u have Cutie Mind Ever

Thx Cutie

@ Meat pao I Check in site about kat-tun they gonna make single in 11 feb and in 14 May So i think Kuu is 1# Yaaaaaaay

Hmm, anyone know these things she's singing?

"I like you, I like you, thank you ----- your heart?" I can't hear this.

Also, what does she say first thing in the song? "Let's go"? "Listen"? :3

i think she says thank you from my heart.
the first thing sounds like listen i think.

I'm thinking that one of the songs on the new Triple A-Side might be the full version of the Introduction. I hope so. Lol.

Hurry Up! sounds terrible.

Just The Way You Are kinda has some similarities to Twinkle. Lol. Just like a 3% similarity. Twinkle sucked but this song is kind of nice. Still it seems Driving is unbeatable and the only other song that isn't a filler would be Show Girl. I don't really LOVE the rest of the songs. :(

just heard JTWYR~
omg its so sweet i love it :D
i think this album will be amesome *__________* at least i hope so :P

I just heard the preview for This is Not a Love Song.

I think I'm going to cry ;_;... way to crash all my dreams and hopes Kuu... ;_;

^ Well it clearly stated that it wasn't a love song. Lol.

for the preview of JTWYA i thought it would be much worse, the full thing is not that bad. it seems like Hurry Up! will be another 人魚姫 :( not really happy about that

I think This is Not a Love Song is better than some of the other songs...

like Just the way you are with it's corny lyrics, hurry up, and ai no kotoba.

driving is still the best...interesting album.

Not Thank you for my heart? I seem to switch between both.

so these are my favorites from this album, just judging from the radio rips, previews, etc:

Introduction
Driving
Bling Bling Bling
Joyful
TABOO
This is not a love song

more favorites than i had on Kingdom, a step up for kumi kuu. :yes
also i liked how she sounded in the CMS for VENUS so i may like that too. but it's english right? so i hope it's not like Twinkle pt. 2 engrishfest :no

I don't know what to think exactly XD
for some songs I feel like I have difficulty hearing the ''melody'' (the intro and hurry up!)
like if it was different melodies not going together

maybe it's just me, that it'll be different when the full songs will be out in HQ :shrug

I'm gonna resist listening to the previews XD Leave me some suspense ~

MegaUpload doesn't work for me anyway, so it's all good XD

well... for me, this is my rank from what I've heard til now:

1. Taboo 10/10 - for me, the best kuu track since But.
2. [B]Introduction 9/10[B] - Seems like it could be BIG!!
3. Driving 9/10 - Nice beat, good instrumentation and amazing bridge!
4. Just the way you are 9/10 - I think this song is lovely... the violin just make it perfect
5. Bling Bling Bling 8/10 - It's a bad song, I know xDD but it's ********** fun to hear!! LOL
6. This is not a love song ¿?/10 - I know I'll like this song.. sounds special!
7. Ai no kotoba ¿?/10 - Same here... the previews are very low quality and we can't judge it, but it sounds like a great ballad!
8. Show Girl 7/10 - Hmmm... not bad! but there's something that makes me nervious in this song! :S Love the circense ending and every part except the chorus xD
9. Venus 7/10 - I'll like this version cause I love the original, and wiz the engrish kuu it would be funny funny.. xD
10. Stay with me 7/10 - Instead of what almost people said... I like this song a lot!
11. Joyful 6.5/10 - Is sweet! :P Nothing special either. (she would love to sing that in her tour ¬¬)
12. Moon Crying 6/10 - This is not a bad song LOL. But it's too long and slow... the song with instrumentation stars at 3:00 .....
13. Your love 6/10 - From the preview it's a bit boring for me...
14. That ain't cool 4.5/10 - Definitely it's not cool!! Fergie sounds well but kuu has the worst verses! Just the chorus is good! but too repetitive also... bleehh...
15. Hurry up! 3/10 - Depressing! but 'cause I was expecting something like ningyio.. but well! maybe the full thing change my mind!

Well... now we have to wait for full versions in HQ, but the first impact is good!! :D
so many songs are good... Anyway, hope that she centers her career in the way that Taboo, introduction and Driving sounds! It would be so great!!!

JTWYA sounds okay..
but i think it sounds like one of Namie's song *i forgot which one*
hope the PV wouldn't be cheap!!

ugh, i don't wanna hear more previews!! gimme the whole damn album avex!!!

:laugh

it's confirmed that KAT-TUN's Tactics will be released in 3 different editions on numerous newspapers sources that I scouted at the KAT-TUN LJ communities so :innocent

heck even all the writing & composing credits are up too :O

it sometimes suck to support 2 artistes man :dead2

really ? that sounds ... interesting

I hope it wouldn't be like P!nk's Who Knew :dead2

just heard radio rip of JTWYR...i liked it from the preview...but the whole thing now doesnt have that much of an impact. It's a sweet song and i like that there are strings in a very pop song...so its quite cool.
I like it but don't think it will last for me...

Album track ranking:::
so far...

1. Driving
2. Intro to TRICK
3. show girl
4. JTWYR
5. Hurry Up! (i appreciate any rock song that is a change in an entire album of Hiphop or R&B or pop...like Namie's It's all about you. And this rally reminds me of that..Messed up and all that..I think it's potential...hope its good.)
6. Ai no Kotoba
7. Joyful / This is not a love song
8. Your Love
9. BBB (trying >.<)

The Album it's so intresting !

i love many of them !

But the rock songs u should hear it well IN HQ that will change ur mind

Yay! Hopefully Kuu will get her third #1 single in a row xD

Wow new thread!. Yay!. I wish Koda success with this new album, hopefully she can do it!. And the new single :D.

Lol Guys Look @ This

http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/s...m-making_music

Permium Making of !

She look so cute i can't stop laugh and look at her cutie engrish ever in 4:58 TO 5:02

when she said : Don Tach me ! lol

^ it's in Black Cherry DVD

WHAT O_O

that's impossible especially for the other date 14th May , that's a Thurs :dead2

for ONE DROP , it's confirmed to be released on 11th next month but as for the supposedly new one Tactics that's said to be going heads on against her new triple A side single , it's rumoured to be releasing on 4th March

somemore it doesn't make sense for Tactics to be released in May since band member Nakamaru Yuichi & NEWS's Masuda's new drama RESCUE will start airing next Sun

never mind I just wait for J-One records to confirm on this :innocent

It's official that I will love TRICK for sure!!! I just listened to JTWYA and I REALLY love it :love

CDJapan haven't sent me the email listing to preorder Tactics yet . Papers have mentioned it will be out on 4th March & I myself saw the whole single's credits for lyrics & composer in the previous KAT-TUN thread which really scares me :dead2

here it's & TABOO posted it on Christmas Eve - http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...30#post1754630

:O

OMG !

the news about may's Single is remove !

Bad site i won't trust u anymore :eviltongu

So the official single now is 11 Feb Single

So What about 4 March ?

i think it's too short only 3 Weeks !

what're you going on in here ? I don't understand you in any single bit :dead2

ooh sry i'm just confused ^^

The 14 May's single is remove cause it's not official >_<

So can u tell me more about kat-tun march single and it's official or not ?

before you deleted the previous post , you were talking about a single release for 14th May & that was for KAT-TUN's DON'T U EVER STOP which was released last year :dead2

It's confirmed that they will be singing Tactics for their band member Nakamaru's new drama RESCUE

even the writing & composing credits are up via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...30#post1754630 but I haven't received the email to preorder Tactics yet

Show Girl PV is funny, will there be more PV's airing soon to promote the album?

So u catch me and u see my post << i'm so shy

<_< my post is always wrong i dunno they was make single dont u ever stop last year

and i think it's 2009 ooh i said before i have a worst mind ever >_<

i deleted the post when i see in wikipedia the single what i'm talking about is realese last year and i though it's will realese in 2009

i just lied about the site cause i'm shy :laugh

i know u will say this kid have ******* mind ever :eviltongu

@ new single : hmm that's so but no official date realese in thier site i hope we know more news soon ^^ and sry again

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE is the last one & there will be an album version of That Ain't Cool which for that I'm not looking forward to lol

don't pay attention 2 them Twinkle ! i like you i like you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE :love

Kuu will be on HEY!x3 on the 19th i wonder what she will sing! i hope show girl or JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

also the documentary DVD release was canceled but whatever i wasn't planning on buying it anyway since it already aired a while ago.
http://i39.tinypic.com/xm31p3.jpg

er no I never said that , I sometimes have problems understanding on what you're talking about

great , I hope she will do show girl & the documentary DVD was probably not worth buying anyway

Thanks Cutie you always grow my morale up

I like you I like you Thank you from my heart ! :heart

i like you i like you you my best friend

Love u cutie

when u said i like you u make me love JUST THE WAY YOU ARE More :heart

@ HEY!x3 I Think it's Show girl cause it's realese in pv yet i hope she will sing JTWYA :heart

you are my best friend*

Just forget it :laugh

JTWYA grow in my heart that make me excited the PV

When do you think the PV will be out? The 28th is just around the corner... or are they only using show girl to promote the album? (as far as PVs are concerned)

Hmm i think maybe with trick realese or before 3-2 days

I was just listening to old kumi songs.. and I forgot how much I love some good featurings like

Just Go feat JHETT
Rainy Day feat KM Markit
and Simple & Lovely feat m-flo (one of her sweetest songs!)

I want cool r&bish featurings like these... and no more Last Angels... :(
Waaaahhhh!

Did you hear the Masa's mix of Taboo called: Missing TABOO? It's so good!! Nice conversion techno to midtempo song!

^

Oeh, on what album are those three songs? Never heard of 'm

And where is that masa's mix? The masa who translates stuff on this website, that masa?

Rainy Day is on one of KM-Markit album, Vivid.
Simple and Lovely is on the Cosmicolor album.
Just Go is on the JHETT album and the single of the same name.

^
yeaahh..!

sorry for not explain that!
Melrose, u can find all them in the download section, in the topic: "koda kumi complete discography". Once inside look at the end of the post!
and the masa's mix is also there... is the last link of all I think... :D

listen to them! are amazing..!

here's a more zoomed out version of the CD only TRICK cover
http://i40.tinypic.com/j9ound.jpg
i think the outfit is a one-piece and the spotlight around her just changes the color of it? at first i thought it was a shirt and shorts and i thought she was just wearing tights or something which made her legs darker. but i guess it makes sense when you look at how light her face/chest is and the outfit and then dark on the bottom.

oh yea, it looks like it's a one piece :yes
I also thought it was a two piece at first

her hand on the right, it's black like the bottom part and it's supposed to be blue

so yep you are right :yes

That would explain the skin color change in her fingers too.

I think it would have looked better if the spotlight graduated out a little more or something...

I don't know how to say it lol

:yes

it's also the same outfit that she wore in the beg of the show girl PV where she was auditioning for the role

I LOL when the judges stamped a big red 'pass' on her documents :bchuck

omg but you are right! I didn't make the link between the two outfits but now that you talk about it!

so we have a better proof: the show girl PV !

haha now you do :laugh

she actually looks hot wearing that outfit in the show girl PV imo

it's not the same outfit the one in the PV isn't cut short so you can't see her legs :P

LOL :laugh

at least the top's the same

yeah they are similar! i think i like the one in the PV more. it also reminds me of fergies outfit from that ain't cool.. but kumi kuu looks so much better in it :laugh
