thanks ^-^
It's evening here so I did this one quickly (I might make some adjustments later)

No Way

translation

Spoiler:

Why? Whenever night falls
The connection between us feels distant
Even though we’re close to each other
It’s no misunderstanding

(Whatever)
I might ask you won’t answer
Anything but “it’s nothing”
(That’s why)
I dare to ask “can we go back?”
(As usual)
I feel crushed by these oppressive feelings
Let me hear the true feelings
Behind your words

*Never let you know, no way
My true feelings directly to you
Never let you know, no way
I send the words ‘I love you’ that I want to say to you

I want you to look me in the eye when we talk
Is that a strange wish to have?
You who reaches for a cigarette again and again
Want to run away from me

(Are you empty?)
You seem so wounded
I didn’t mean to drive you into a corner
(Aside from me)
What else, oh baby, are you seeing?
(I don’t want to break up)
I can’t see because of my overflowing tears
Your feelings and future
Stop making such a lonely expression

*repeat

Oh this wound can’t easily be healed by someone else
Oh I should be over it by now
Remember one more time
Please don’t go and leave behind
That what we always were

*repeat (2x)

For me the track UNIVERSE is just like what Driving was for Trick.. the best song on the album <3

[Neko★munication]

I loooove this album so effin' much. It feels much less "gimmicky" than TRICK or Kingdom. The ballads especially really shone through! And UNIVERSE has to be one of her best dance songs since TABOO

01. Step In To My World - 4/5 - Okay, what's up with this song? :S I mean, is it SUPPOSED to sound exactly like TRICK or am I just crazy? Idk, was it intentional or did Kuu seriously run out of inspiration for album openings? I mean, regardless, it was awesome cause I love TRICK and this is a pretty awesome arrangement, but really, what's going on? XD
02. Can We Go Back - 3/5 - I don't dislike this song, but it's not one of her strongest rock songs. Still waiting on another Selfish or Ningyo-Hime
03. SUPERSTAR - 5/5 - One of my all-time faves This song is amazingly well done. My two year old nephew absolutely loves it too XD He actually sang along to the "I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be" part
04. You're So Beautiful - 3/5 - Kinda generic, but nothing bad about this song at all.
05. Lick Me - 2/5 - It's a good song, but I'm kinda bored of it, and I preferred Lady Go! and With your smile to this.
06. Work It Out! - 4/5 - AWESOME song. It feels a bit weak during the verses but the chorus is just epic. <3 Super catchy too.
07. No Way - 4/5 - AMAZING Ballad from Kuu!!! <33 Can't wait to see this one live. Definitely one of her best.
08. Stay - 3/5 - Another above average ballad. She's really rocking them
09. Comes Up - 3/5 - Still needs to grow on me, lsitening to it just makes me want to listen to Baby Don't Cry, which is way better Still, they're really freakishly similar.
10. Physical Thing - 2.5/5 - Both this and ECSTASY were meh for me. I had brief periods of liking them, but they both try and fail at living up to songs like TABOO and BUT.
11. ECSTACY - 2.5/5 - Same as above...
12. UNIVERSE - 5/5 - Now THIS is worthy of living up to TABOO/BUT I knew Kuu could bust out another amazing dance song. It's like TABOO meets Bad Romance meets Get Up&Move, absolutely love <3
13. It's all Love! -2/5 - Never really liked this song, not about to start....
14. Alive - 4/5 - One of Kuu's most epic ballads. It's really classy and more sophisticated than what she usually does, and has more of an impact.

Overall, aweeeeeeesome album The tour for this album is going to be amazing, I can already tell. TRICK had a few hard-hitters, which hit HARD (TABOO, Driving, show girl) but UNIVERSE has a bunch of them My only complaint is that Good*Day and Faraway should have been included.
