well, in regards to the oversexed part, i'd have to agree with that because i watched some of her music vidoes and was like okay, so she uses provacative stuff in her vids, no big deal. HOWEVER, when i watched the ima suga hoshii vid and read the lyrics, it was then i started to dislike Kuu, i just couldn't believe she would sing trashy lyrics like that, even if she didn't produce the song nor wrote the lyrics.
and how people say "sex sells," i take that as a negative thing honestly. a singer shouln't have to resort to selling the look of their body to sell their music. She has a nice body and i believe its okay for her to show it off, but....sometimes she goes a little too far. ( Especially during her concerts where they suggest.........um.......suggestive things...)And by no means am i bashing her for being sexy, its just part of who she is, but when i watch some of her vids, its really hard not think this way, she just goes too far. But then again its selling because sex does indeed sell, but when an artist does that, my respect for them declines dramatically. (I've talked to some people who bought Kuu's CD JUST because she looked sexy, and when they listened to the CD, they thought the music was "okay.") Sex does sell.....unfortunately...............
As for 12 singles in 12 weeks, the critic dude was right. some songs were really good yet some were just....... blah. But like he said "no one seemed to notice."
LIke a lot of people said , you cant really compare her to Ayu, they are just so dynamic in their own way. But one thing i luv about Ayu is that, even though her voice isnt the "BEST", even though her dancing isn't the greatest, and her body isn't as "developed' as kumi's, she STILL is one of the most influential people in the world of music, and she did that through her music, (and also good promotion), which is what i think is true artist.
