Oh yes, thanks for reminding, I completely forgot about this.

But I'm still afraid of these trolls criticizing Kumi ...

All has been good already, but real news about single are going to ruin my happy mood.

Ayu wasn't the first artist with 2 songs with the same melody, but when I'm imagining people who will compare Kuu's single to Ayu, bash her and call copycat, I gets veeery sad.

I don't care for titles, number of songs and MVs anymore - I learned that quality is a waaaay more important that number. Covers are trashy and bad looking, unfortunately. I wonder what happened with versions showed in the concert.

Lol at the picture.

Funny, I remember a bunch of people here going, 'ugh, how unoriginal--Kuu did this already!! ' whenever Ayu came out with Sunrise/Sunset (even though Ayu has also already done this, three times total at this point). But yeah, I could totally see everybody *****ing over it again.
And yay, somebody else sees how nasty these covers are, lol. *unite! *

Just ignore them, it's the same way with other artists, trolls are sadly everywhere.
They're not worth the energy.

^^ /high-fives


I wouldn't write about Ayu if I reminded of yume no uta/futari de, so sorry for you all for the misunderstanding and my mistake.

I'll try to not worry about all these *****es , but it's hard sometimes though...

[Corvina]

In the description (it's a message directly from Kuu) she describes those two songs as a challenge to sing (high key-> low key) she wanna accomplish in her 10th anniversary.
Don't know what we can assume from that, cause artists can be so hyped with their own works sometimes (Ayu anyone? ); we have to wait for the actual songs, but I think that Kuu does has a meaning behind the "same melody and arrangment" thing this time.
She also writes something about a goldfish in a fishbowl as a metaphor and its different ways of handle the life , "inside" and "outside" or something like that.
I'm really looking forward to the lyrics.

[tenshi no hane]

OMG best title ever XD "fishbowl" wtf?

I'm excited for this single~ <3

EDIT: Apparently the title symbolizes that whether you live your life having fun 'inside' or 'outside' is your own choice. Both options are fine to her. She feels that how someone lives her/his life is really up to him/herself.

What's wrong with being hyped with their own works?
It's only natural. You wouldn't expect them to be negative or in an "oh well" attitude towards what they do. =P

[Corvina]

There is nothing wrong with it, it's just that the artists praise the songs better or even different than they are sometimes.

Usually it's they mean A > We undersand it as Z

It gets lost in translation

[Kingdom]

cool! i wanted the guy x kumi covers though... but these are cute enough!

inside / outside fishbowl WTF... LOL. i bet the songs will be cute though.

lollipop = r&b hip hop

also got to be real

[Nackar_91]

I can't wait for this. I'm not a fan of the covers but really, they're not as awful as some people make them out to be. I'm very curious about the songs ... she said it would be a dance track, but now two different ones in different keys? It worked so well with Yume no Uta/Futari de ..., so I can't wait for this!

[Corvina]

New layout and previews sounds:

Nekoman @ JPM

So fast! XD

[Kingdom]

I don't like the preview of Inside/outside at ALL... oh god. kuu, why? I hope they can grow on me.

Got to be real sounds like the best song so far.

[GRACE]

The whole single sounds like crap. Kuu what the hell are you doing. She sounds like Nana Kitade in Inside Fishbowl. Kuu, you don't want to go around sounding like a flop ...

[maze]

I love the Inside Fishbowl preview :3 and yayy the covers are growing on me

[tenshi no hane]

I actually quite like the previews ^^;; not brilliant, but still nice imo

[♥Rain]

they're definately something different. i like the sound of outside fishbowl but inside fishbowl she sounds a bit crazy lol and for you sounds quite sweet. but nothing has stood out for me yet, i hope the full thing changes my mind. plus no preview of lollipop yet and i am looking forward to that the most cause of the R&B/Hip Hop description.

i wonder if lollipop is the dance song she was talking about in her tour? cause the fishbowls don't really sound dancey from the previews?

[~StarCatcher~]

I think lollipop will blow us away.
The rest will be the best.

She's excited the most over lollipop I think^^

And I think the previews are growing on me =)

[ストロボ・EdGE]

The cover of the CD look so much better enlarged on the layout! I couldn't tell she had a cupcake.

She hardly sounds like herself in Inside though, I think I like Outside a lot better, though Inside sounds cute. I was thinking more TABOO or ECSTASY when I heard "dance song" though..
For you sounds exactly how I thought it would sound- boring and cliche.
It's really funny to hear Kumi sing Got to be real! I like it~

[ayumisrael]

I don't really like what I'm hearing so far...

For you sounds nice but it's a generic ballad nothing special.

I hope for goods with Lollipop!
