I hope that split scene was real, though it looked a tad bit too smooth. Maybe she's just really flexible.

I dunno, it's not that I think a good dance PV needs to have a lot of dancers, but having only her in the PV made all these negative spaces that even the background couldn't fill, and I found that it just doesn't look right, which ended up making the PV looked like it was made on a shoestring budget. I like the vibrant colors, but in the end, it was overwhelmed by negative space.

IMO a better PV that didn't went way over the top but still had great deal of just dancing is Crazy 4 U PV, without the big budget, but just getting two more dancers made the PV looked a lot less empty.

But I think the song is nice, although it could have been more interesting, but it was decent.

She performs INTRODUCTION and that's it.
actually she does.. I was there at the finale...
Before the album details for Kingdom was released it was jus called "Introduction"...
But it was the introduction jus extended with lyrics and thats "Black Cherry"...


On another note.. =D
I am liking under.. =) I am missing Kuu's more rnb and urban influenced songs.. =)

Didn't like Under or the PV either, I hope it either grows on me or the rest of the songs/pvs are great otherwise I'm definitely not getting this album.

Same feelings. Her r&b and urban tracks were and still are her best stuff especially with her husky vocals. Under is pretty good for an album track.

*sigh*... just accept it.. =P
i went to the Black Cherry Finale... it was the same as the rest of the tour except there was an extended tracklisting... ie. DBSK+BlueMan guests and the CM medley + old songs....

And yes Kingdom was released 9 days before the Finale...
So noone knew the song was called "Black Cherry"...
And as they've already heard the introduction.. Peoeple wrote "Introduction" in their tracklisting...

Alot of things also get left out in the posting of tracklistings on forums..
Especially if the person doesn't know Japanese.. and they just put the songs they see...

UNDER review:

Song - I wasn't interested in this song from the preview...so here goes..
The opening was rather shocking..i like the urban kinda groove..then i think it went rather...flat like it keep repeating...and the beat was still so i aint very hyped about it...but it really got my head moving..it's not bad..links with the chorus well (luckily)
Wow..there is a bridge..interesting...shocking...gd one but its just ok-gd for me..

PV - the thing i loved was the choreography..and her looks! omg..kuu with long hair is just gorgeous...the rest is normal...the panther was a surprise...Its a song that definitely needs a PV...the PV helped the song for me...

Song - 6.5
PV - 7
Overall - 6.75
