I was watching a live Namie did way back when covering SB and she sang it exactly like Chara... Kuu did at least definitely make it all her own. Like not only with the instrumentation, but the way she sang it, it was as if it were her own song, almost like the whole composition was slightly changed but enough to notice it, which is something I like to see in a cover. Too bad she sounded as if she was falling asleep when she recorded it though.

Damn I still haven't listened to the cover album.

I was too tired yesterday to make myself do that. >.< Today I have to for heaven's sake. <3

~StarCatcher~ · #**423** 14th October 2010, 07:44 AM

I really love love love the album.

And the best songs are 6,7,8 and 11

and the rest is great, too!!

Love is Over and Red Wine are a bit slow though:-D

I even like Seiko's SWEET MEMORIES too, but Kuu totally dominated that one too.

I agree, they both has their own style to sing the song.

I really need to listen to 小さな恋のうた for everyday now, the song is just awesome, so sweet so emotional

Well its a cover album that has had little promotion. It has no PVs, no singles, and she's performed like twice on TV promoting it so let's be glad it sold as well as it has.

AyuGAME · #**426** 14th October 2010, 08:15 AM

the quality between Juju cover album compare to kuu cover album is kinda far though IMO...
Juju pick almost all million seller song, the arrangement is so beautiful, her voice is so great, the modulation is so amazing...
no wonder that Juju album can sell very well

~StarCatcher~ · #**427** 14th October 2010, 08:27 AM

Well I'm a little bit disappointed with the sales,too, but I think the album is gorgeous and I can't imagine a better cover album so it's okay anyway.

And sales aren't that improtant since Kuu is nearly always in the top 3 so no worries as long as the quality is awesome as it always is when Kumi releases something =)

krauterol · #**428** 14th October 2010, 11:32 AM

小さな恋のうた is the best song on the album so far... I love it!

KarenPang · #**429** 14th October 2010, 11:35 AM

Twinkle ! · #**431** 14th October 2010, 12:33 PM

yay no big drop

, Hope juju is not taking her place tomorrow

Minttulatte · #**432** 14th October 2010, 01:15 PM

UNIVERSE DVD should have sold more since it was so epic lol

But I'm happy she got the top spot. <3 I'm also glad that there's no big drop between today and yesterday. Her sales are pretty good so far. Maybe there'll be a boost for those one of these days? I hope so. <3 Everyone will love her goddess-like vocals eventually. <3

I'm glad Eternity's sales didn't drop that much, but... WTH is up with UNIVERSE O.O

Kingdom and Trick both sold 100k+, right? And this tour blows those two out of the water (at least IMO XD. At the very least it's not WORST), so this is kind of a big drop. I could've understood like 75k... meh... at least I can enjoy it XD

TITANIC · #**436** 14th October 2010, 01:29 PM

^ back to #1?? that is soo great

Lee^ChaN · #**437** 14th October 2010, 01:34 PM

^^ I think it's because she released too many stuffs + event (sukide3x, universe dvd, cover album, billboard live + goodies)

KarenPang · #**438** 14th October 2010, 01:40 PM

@ Jia Rong - yay this should make a lot of people happy , especially for Ileana xD

I will post the 5music preorder link for the UNIVERSE DVD as soon as it's up

it should be up on their website next week or so

~StarCatcher~ · #**439** 14th October 2010, 01:55 PM

So low sales for UNIVERSE Tour =(

I thin it's because of the man releases the last weeks.

BUT at least the tour is the best tour ever from any artist!

jbrat2219 · #**440** 14th October 2010, 02:22 PM

I think the low sales are a combination of decreasing sales in general and over saturation. Yeah we're happy about all the releases and concerts because we're Kumi fans and everything but unless the Japanese are sitting on golden mountains, I doubt fans outside of super hardcore ones are going to throw money at all of her releases. If I'm correct, the Japanese tend to PAY for all of this stuff where as we just go check the download section.
