Hilarious

Anyway.

I would definitely love if kumi sang dareka no. Imagining it reminds me of "Candle Light" which is an amazing song.

[chocopockymaster]

Maybe we can petition her to do it for Color The Cover Volume 2......oh ho ho

Another cover album for her 15th anniv. would be great, also another collab with Mika Ninagawa (photoshoot-wise, Pink Spider video was beautiful but a bit meh tbh... maybe if it wasn't a mix of PV and trailer for the short movie, but either way Mika can pull out some awesome sets for her shoots)

edit I just imagined Kuu covering Namie's Body Feels EXIT and... I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN

Which is something I never knew I wanted until it happened in a dream I had last night, lmao

I'm happy she isn't covering Utada. An artist of Kuu's status has no reason to tribute Utada and I would never want her to.

Anyway I'm so looking forward to December 6th! I have a feeling she'll at least announce tour dates and maybe an album on that day.

Well, Utada likes Kuu, she even draw a Kuma based on Kumi's FREAKY cover.

wait, wut?



To be honest, it would feel awkward to me having Kumi covering Hikki, when Hikki released ULTRA BLUE she was already one of the biggest singers of Japan, and Kumi was releasing second session, so there's a huge difference of status and importance.

And I feel like Hikki is an "artist" in a very complete way, and Kumi has been going to the "entertainer" path even more these last years,, they don't match.

[Gustavopc]

^ maze only was talking about vocals tho, calm down

Like, we didn't have a messs between ayu x Hikki which I'm GLAD, I don't hope we'll get a Kuu x Hikki when Kuu is not even really making a cover

I don't understand what your trying to say here? The rest of the people on Utada's tribute album besides Ayu are all below Kuu like Miliyah Kato and AI so I don't see the point your trying to make here. And Second Session sold double of Ultra Blue.

I'm pretty calm here. I'm not talking about fame, money, or diva status, I was just saying that everybody on Hikki's album have the same level of input on their solo works, something I don't see coming from Kumi.

Bon Voyage was just a bunch of demos she bought and released, not a long time after Color the Cover and JAPONESQUE. I just feel like she has been releasing songs non-stop and not really putting herself into it. She's completing 15 years on the industry and her music has not evolved.

Ayumi has changed, Hikki has changed, ohashi trio has sort of changed, all of them are in different places comparing to where they started.

And Second Session was released when Kumi's popularity was in it's top and it was also a BEST. You can't compare a BEST to a regular album.

That's why they don't match, because, in my opinion, Kumi releases songs so that she can present new things live, and Hikki releases new things when she feels she's ready to do it.

Whaaaat. Please post this!

Ahtka, I get it, but you are mentioning Ultra Blue and comparing it to Kuu's effort. Here's the thing, Kuu was just hitting her peak, as you yourself have said. It's an unfare comparison.

I would love for kuu to cover an Utada song.

[happiholic★]

Personally, I've always found Utadas vocals really weird. I've never been into them. One of the reasons I love Kuu is her voice. Its really just an opinion. I don't see how Kuu is less of an artist. Yes, she's flashy, but so is Ayu. Kuu produces her own albums, writes most of her own lyrics. She's composed. Tried different genres, release patterns, concerts. In don't dislike Utada, but I've never understood the hype.

New album, new single, new something?

[Gustavopc]

^
Wondering if that rumour about an album on 1/1 is true, I'm feeling I'm getting excited hell yeah! And I'm happy they're using her FB page, I hope it's not a one time thing! ayu has started using it more, and I hope Kuu also will

PS: Was she doing a photoshooting on Sunday? Really gurl?

Agree. I'm fact I really like hikki but I don't understand all the hype...a tribute album is usually done to dead/retired artist, isn't it? I find it kind of weird that an artist like Ayu is participating on the album...
But this is Kuu thread so I stop talking about utada. I wonder what the potoshoot is for, I would be so glad if an album is coming 1/1

[Toniayu123]

Sorry for double post.
To commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the release of kuu's perfumes. Special boxes had been made which includes the perfume, a roll on, a cream and Kuu's autograph. -Edit: I think it isn't original autograh-! The boxes can be bought here using Tenso:

[orangeakira]

They look like they smell amazing.

[Gustavopc]

Wish I had a girlfriend so I could give her the perfumes and keep the box

[Isicio]

^give it to your mother or your sister haha

I never knew it was possible to be this excited just by looking at one picture! I wonder what Kumi's been shooting! I totally can't wait to find out.
