It's more consistent than Black Cherry, but not in the "every song is awesome" way. While Black Cherry had very lacking album songs, the singles are far more stronger than Kingdom Singles. Unmei is quickly becoming one of my favorite Kuu songs and Koi no Tsubomi is the kind of Cute song that I like from her, plus it has great composition and arrangment. With your Smile is very strong as an upbeat song. Even Yume no Uta and Futari De are growing on me.

I would probably describe Kingdom as mediocre or lackluster just because I don't have any other words. It's not unlistenable. While the album tracks are better (Himitsu, Under, Amai Wana) I felt there were way too much fillers.

And the PVs, bravo for the flashier affects to make them not look like they were made on a shoestring budget, but it seem like these amount of PV were made just so Avex can say that they have every PV for every song. Instead of focusing at making three or four PVs, they did 14 PVs that at best are mediocre (Amai Wana, Himitsu, Under) and at worst boring or downright tacky (Wonderland, Koi no Mahou, Anata...).

But Demure_dusk said it all.
