Kuu @ TOKYO FM 「COUNTDOWN jp」
*she has bangs now*
Yesterday kuu gave an interview at tokyo.fm and she talked about Pink Spider MV, I'll give you a summary about what I understood because no one has translated the info in chinese yet (I'm so sorry for my bad english)
- it seems the video will have CG? she said for giving it a ~fantasy~ touch to the story and so go according to the manga
- they totally changed the instrumental of the song (which was originally rock) to add koda kumi's charm and juiciness, and it ended up on a dubstep-styled song
- she seems to admire the manga's creator, she said that the adaptation in general did show a never-seen-before side of her
- the original story is about prostitutes, so it seems that there will be a variety of sexy and imposing costumes throughout the whole video
- kuu feels that of over 100 videos she made throughout her career, she never made one so luxurious (this part is not clear to me, if it's a video with CG, how is it luxurious? xP)
- the result is an overflowing, powerful music video wich shows women's sexiness and tenacity, thanks to the work of the staff and cast
- according to other news, there will be bed scenes? tongue kisses? kuu knocking men, etc
I think U★G and JuNGLE participated in the video too? not really sure, it seems kinot mentioned about having them in ANOTHER video?
