What's this NINKI thing anyway? I have never understood what is it or what it does. Can someone tell me?
And about Kuu's style. Her present style reminds me of Black Cherry era somehow. I like her hair, she looks nice. I like this hair style more than her longer hair actually and I don't know why. But I also adore her clothes on that Tokyo Girls collection. She looked really nice. :p But either way I don't really care about how she looks. To me music of an artist is much better. Kuu though looks a lot more like a human being to me than Ayu. Ayu has always looked like a make-up doll for me (sorry for saying that. I do like Ayu, but I just had to say this). I have always liked how Kuu looks. She really has nice clothes. Some of them are a bit lol (especially those from feel my mind/secret era) but I still like those. Kuu has always been able to surprise me with her clothes since she has different kind of styles. I have felt lately that for example Ayu hasn't changed her style all that much like Kuu has. I like it how singers and all kinds of celebrities change their styles more frequently.
But enough about Kuu's cool style. I'm gonna tell you that I have finally fallen in love with TRICK. It has always been like this. When I first hear an album from Kuu, I think it's a bit boring and then I take a break from listening to it. A few weeks later I suddenly realize how awesome this album was. Same thing happened with Kingdom last year. I was hoping for something like Black Cherry which was the album that made me finally fancy Kuu-chan and I have loved her so much after that but Kingdom really made the breakthrough to my heart somehow. Since last March I have been listening to Kuu's music over and over again and it hadn't ended. Actually I got even more hooked onto Kuu's music when MOON, TABOO and stay with me came. Then TRICK came. First I was like 'meh' and her voice sounded strange in some of the songs but now I don't let that bother me. I really adore this album. I also agree with you that TRICK is like what Kuu really is. She really does R&B/dance/Hip hop extremely well. I like Kuu doing this kind of music more than pop. I really adore almost every song on TRICK except That Ain't Cool. I still despise that. :/ The songs that I really adore among the singles she released are This is not a love song, Driving, Hurry Up!, Your Love, Ai no Kotoba, JUST THE WAY YOU ARE and Bling Bling Bling (so roflmao. I mean seriously). :]
