sorry, i don't have a better news source... :(

IMO, she deserved to win for being the biggest artist of the year, not because of this single... :P just my opinion...

It's also said here


Congrats to her :)

I just hope after that, she will not performed Butterfly in '06 :p

I think the dress looks bad.

The dress would look great if her boobs weren't popping out and she looked liek a swizzle stick in some shots.

Ugh, I really don't like Butterfly all that much. Makes sense that it would win...of course! XD

Congrats to Ku.

my GOD her dress...
but still congrats her..although i don't like her butterfly i prefer promise or you

Butterfly?
She has much better songs than that.

*looks at pics....wonders how much tape hurts nipples....*

WHAAA???? When was the Taisho???? =O Holy CRAP I missed EVERYTHING this year!!!!!

Well it was her most popular song in 2005 but I can find better songs than that.. and that dress is of awful taste. I think lately she's trying too hard to be sexy.

I think it's a pretty dress but WAY TOO revealing haha. That last pic there of her looks as if she's not wearing anything ... yar, she's trying too hard to be sexy at times I think. But she deserves the awards! (Not for Butterfly though ... popular song but I think she has much better songs than that)

HAHA thats what i was thinking..how much tape they used XDDD

That dress is... whoa. Thank God for double sided tape. O.o

But congrats to Ku for winning!

hope i'm not dragging this up too much... since it's already in the second page :P

thanks for the pics, nmskalmn :) seen from the front, kumi's dress could have been nice... but from the side it's just... not nice :dead2

greggerz189, the taisho happens every december 31st... around 6pm japan time i think :)

i agree... kumi has way better songs... 1000 words being one of the best! But for this year i have to say hands is the best out of all her singles :D

It looks like she's a lost a little bit of weight. She looks really good, though. =x

I think she looks beautiful. The dress is actually done in a very classy way, it's gorgeous.

Ugh... -_- It looks like her tiny body is drowing in that dress.. I like the bottom portion of it.. but the top .. O_O;; Who in the world designed it?!

Otherwise, congrats to her for recieving this award.

congrats to her for winning this award, she deserve it
