^ Well I think Kuu's been moving away from her predominately sexy image for years now. Kingdom is really where I personally noticed a shift, but Trick and UNIVERSE were pretty telling as well, in terms of how a chunk of the latter had cute, fun songs packed into the first half of the album.

I think it's natural to be concerned about the image shift, but it's also important to remember that we're only watching the shifts in the progress, and not the "after" stage. We don't see how she'll turn up, you know? We just see the stages in between, and it's making us concerned (some of us~). This is how I get with Ayu sometimes (there, a valid comparison lol) who prizes herself on changing every few years. It's natural to be concerned, but don't lose faith and have hope that what made you love Kuu at the start will hold out and will always be there, no matter what.

I agree in that I'm going to wait until Dejavu is out until I judge properly, but I do weigh what people in here are saying -- and it just seems like we all have such conflicting varied tastes, haha.
