Your body drinks in
The juice I squeezed out, squeezing so tight
Go further
Deeper inside of me
Take it to the limit
And make sure you make it real hot
Why don’t we go wild
On this hot, hot night?

JUICY

JUICY lyrics translated by juicy
First post collected from several Kuu thereads, copied from the 87th thread, made by juicy.

I loved 3 SPLASH <3 Everything was great (minus the ECSTASY and Hashire! remixes).

cool title! it's nice to see someone else making the new kuu threads for a change! i voted no because as a whole i don't like 3 splash :no i just like hashire :yes

Despite the pouch, the covers (yuck),and Lick Me (yuckier), I voted yes because Hashire! and Ecstasy made the single so amazing and the PV for Ecstasy pretty much seals the deal. :yes

EDIT: Oh actually I didnt vote yes. Actually I didnt vote anything because for some weird weird reason, I cant see the little white dots that you click to vote in polls. The poll shows up but the dots dont. @_@

Vivi scans are out... it's the one with her and Lady Gaga, and I thought the TRICK tour is over already?

Thanks for the new thread though. btw, I LOVE 3 SPLASH

TRICK Tour ended a while back, right??

3 SPLASH is alright. I only like ECSTASY

it was nice to see faraway earlier on at MTV Asia :smitten

yes! i LOVE 3 SPLASH!!

is there a date for the Tour DVD?

Ayu's Rainbow great thread opening!!

I voted yes.

Lick me was nice and catchy.
ECSTASY is a cool song.
hashire! is meh.
I didn't like the covers as others but the music is what important :yes
My favorite remix is actually of Lick me, I don't like the other remixes.
I'm also dissapointed that there are no instrumentals. ECSTASY's instrumental would be hot.

I love 3 SPLASH :heart

TRICK still charting
*7 *,388,165 ***,621 TRICK / 倖田來未 09/01/28

you need to credit me for the first post, please. :)

Wow new thread already! :thud
Hope we get a preview of Physical thing soon!!

I really like Bounce <3 It's so catchy... I wish she had more B-sides like this one lol Because I don't like others very much~

she has probably never heard it... it is one of the lesser known songs. it's amazing <3

"Do you like 3 SPLASH?" Yes but 4 hot wave was waaaaaaaayyyyy better. :D

^ I like FREAKY much more.. :o

Yes i like 3 SPLASH :D
I think that 3 SPLASH is on a par with 4 hot wave...both singles are really great :)

I don't^^

@juicy I heard it, it was enough for me to hear it once anyway~ And how can be one of the lesser known songs when's included on Bounce & Lovers and Butterfly single?:D

I LOVE 3 SPLASH :luv2 :luv2 :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

one of her best singles, no doubt :yes

I love 3SPLASH, too.
I'm addicted to ECSTASY right now.
But also with FREAKY (again), I love this song.

@ Maemi: omg I love Bounce too!!!

~bounce baby bounce bounce, shake it shake it everything u got!~

I wonder how Taisetsu Na Kimi E became so popular among fans. I don't really like it. Her English (or is it even English?) in the chorus amazes me. I couldn't understand anything xD

I voted no. I use to like it but now I don't even listen to it D:

I love the title btw :) I can't wait for that single :D

the melody is the most important i think
have you seen this live? preciooous *o*

i think it's "you are thee only one i know ima shore" despite its engrish lyrics i really like the song. the music is really pretty, it reminds me of "Secret" by ayu

it's lesser known among the "casual" kuu fans (aka the ones who are like "omg but and taboo r amazin!!! her only good songs!!!!!" so apologies, i just assumed you were one of those.

i understand the english perfectly fine, and it's popular because it's a really sweet song. the lyrics are really lovely and IMO it's one of kumi's bests.. you can tell she put her heart into it.

she looks so happy singing it, and when she sings the "to my precious you" part she cheeses so hard at the audience. love it soo much!! i love the adlibbing at the end, the "i love you, i lovee yooooou" parts. i'm glad she does this when she sings it live too.

you are the only wan i know im a sho
i feel your har just like my tenshon all the time yay
feel me touch me just like this moonlii-i-yayay
i will be with goin on~

I didn't really like that performance. Her voice in the chorus was kinda annoying sounding ~.~

i wonder if anyone here likes "magic"
that's my 2nd favorite kuu-ballad on my 2nd favorite kuu album D: nobody talks about it though lol

i like the song magic, and i know there's a few others here who adore it too.

lol why would you like the performance if you don't even like the song? :rolleyes

sometimes performances can make you like the song more tho! there are songs i didn't like very much but then saw performances of them and started to like or even love them :yes that happened with aisho and cutie honey for me

my life is magic :heart that's such a great song.

but my favorite ballad on feel my mind is hana! that might just be my favorite kuu ballad ever. it's not overdone, but still powerful and the lyrics are gorgeous.

my favorite ballad of Koda Kumi's is Far Away

my favorite Kumi ballad is Moon Crying

i think she was telling you off because Koda Kumi does not have a song titled Far away, but Ayumi Hamasaki does on her smash hit album Duty! i wish i had that album so i could make scans, she looks SO sexy!

kuu has a song named Far Away he just wrote it wrong since in kuu's case it's faraway (in ayu's it's Far away) and it's on It's all love! single. identity probably confused it, no need to panic.

thank you for explaining it to me, i was really confused!

I never really cared for faraway..I don't know why.

I think my top 3 ballads are Yume no Uta, Hana & Pearl Moon.

^ no I think she confound Kumi with Ayu, Ayu also had a song named "Far away" and it was on her Duty album xD

She displayed great emotion no doubt, and the instrumentation is nice. I just don't like how she sings the chorus.

i'm sorry for confusing people it was a simple misunderstanding. like ayumisrael said

koda did have some really good ballads in her earlier years. like "come back".

Lol why would that be so hard to believe? I tend to enjoy lots of performances of songs I don't really like and then I end up loving the songs themselves.

My top 3 ballads... Umm, that's hard, but Gentle Words is definitely #1, my favourite Kuu song of all time. :luv2 Milk Tea would probably be up there too.

my fave kuu ballad is Taisetsu na Kimi e obviously :yes
and many others like Saigo no Ame, Hana, Rain (unplugged ver.), Futari de..., Your Love, Candle Light, etc, etc.

My top favorite ballads of kuu are you and Rain. :yes

THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! :yes
I wish Butterfly were a double A-Side Single [Butterfly/taisetsuna kimi e], cause it's not worth to be only a B-Side!

i agree with that. in fact i'd probably like butterfly to be the b-side because taisetsu is soo much better.

Yay awesome new thread!

I like soo many of Kumi's ballads.. Promise, you, Yume no Uta, magic, hands, Moon crying, taisetsu na kimi e, Saigo no Ame & walk have to be the top top faves though

Yay new thread

Btw i Make a NEW Face Replacing ! :D

HERE

your set makes me lol Twinkle! it's like she's taking a picture of her own butt. :laugh

it still looks like namie in both Pictures

@Cutie : XXXDDD

@4minute : How she still look namie even i replace her face ?? xD explain

^ is the left one with Kuu's face? o.o it looks really similar to namie!

the lips and the eyes still look the same, the only things that look different are the nose and the eyebrows.

:thud ooh really i have no talent :no need to try again

^^ you have a lot of talent!!!!!! don't say that!!!!! you just don't know how to use your talents yet!


it looks like you just blurred namie's face or something!!! you should use a better picture of koda. because of the angle i think the CD+DVD cover of Freaky might work with that picture! perhaps the Anytime cover as well.

New FLIH2 wallpapers :yes

can someone resize it to 800x600 for me?

Wow...I just saw MoA's parody of BUT. I never expected her of all people to make up something so mean based on Kumi....

Who is Moa?

Those FLIH2 wallpapers are simply adorable!

it's a joke. she's a big kumi fan :yes

here you go :)

thanks cutie! but do you think you could save it as a .gif file? it takes up less space that way :ysmile
i just downloaded The Sims 2 so im low on hard drive space. i have to listen to all of my music on Imeem and Youtube now :grumpy

does anyone have more pics of Koda Kuma???

You thought it was mean? I thought it was hilarious.

But I understand why you would say it's mean.

Also I voted no on the poll. Only like ECSTASY.

two of my favorites :heart

thanks! i want to dress up as Koda Kuma for halloween but i don't know exactly how to make it. im thinking of making a paper mache base for the head and then covering it in colorful felt to make it soft like a stuffed animal. my body has the same proportions as Koda Kuma already so i don't think i need to do anything else for that :)

did jackie ever post her video yet?

would be amazing :love

I posted the wrong image :dead2


fixed :P

not yet, i really hope she wasn't just leading us on and teasing us... :mad

Meh. Koda Kuma freaks me out...the same way Ayupans freak me out. I dont understand why artists feel the need to create little mutant versions of themselves @_@

Ah, thank you Mr. Goto! Those are adorable covers!

:roflmao

huh? :eviltongu Koda Kuma is soooooo cuteee!!! :love:luv2

as 80's singer DEBORAH GIBSON PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS DEBBIE GIBSON said in her top 100 smash song anything is possible ^_^

i cannot express excite enough for kuus upcoming single :luv2 i cant wait to be dancings 2 physical thing all night long :vbhappy

i think she should sing Christina Aguilera's Beautiful! KUU is a huge Xtina fan and her powerful voice would go great in this song!

that would ROCK! i wish she would do an 80s cover album with songs like HOT STUFF and I FEEL LOVE and GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN and other smash hit songs such as those!

I have always wondered if some day they will make a collaboration together, would be simply GREAT! I hope this happens :yes

you guys have really good suggestions. im getting too carried away with these fantasies!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaIGPlfH_rs

i think Kuu would make a good rendition of this classic as well. i can recall her mentioning that she's a big fan of Crystal Waters in an interview a few years back. imagine if they collaborated together! that would be my dream come true.

i've never heard that song. but it could work.
i think someone should make a mash-up of this and cherry girl, they'd go perfect together
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdDxz2bkfhE

Mm..maybe replace Fergie with someone else & that would be awesome!

I agree lol DNW Fergie :puke

Maybe instead of Fergie get another asian singer..two western and two asian :shrug

maybe rurutia? her voice would compliment Kuu's nicely.

lol kuu singing like a virgin would be the best thing in the world

I have to agree with both of these :D

Oooh, thank you for posting! They are so cute.

It's cute and kinda scary at the same time D:

:laugh That would be awesome. "riiikkkeee a vilgiiiinnnnn" XD

I adore 3 SPLASH. It's one of her best singles imo. <3

yay for new thread & I take 3 SPLASH anytime of the day over MOON :P

I ADORE 3 SPLASH! <3 All three songs are addicting as hell! XDD

You guys rock with the Kuu discussion!

Personally, I hope she would cover X-Tina's Dirrty... omg! HOTNESS

^ That would be awesomeeee :heart

I'd love her to do Rihanna's Umbrella lol "erra erra erra ehhh" <3

really? i like MOON more. i like Moon Crying & Lady go! and now i really love Once Again even though i didn't like it at the time MOON was out. and don't forget the gorgeous covers!

^ all in due time ^_^

i want this, too :luv2 i love umbrella ♪♫

i prefer moon over 3 splash, personally. though i still like 3 splash.

moon crying won kuu so many medals last year! i don't think lick me:heart will... lol so hopefully alive / physical thing will!

let me put it this way

I love the covers & the 2 songs that did not receive PVs of their own so I like 2/3 of the single which's OK I guess :laugh

i think Alive will be this year's Moon Crying, Yume no Uta and Ai no Uta, as in the song she sings at all the big year end shows.
