Still really excited for the album! (mainly for the dance tracks because to this day the only slow songs by kuu i like are alive and you are so beautiful )
;p

I like a lot of her older ballads, IE Hands, Rain, Walk, Your song, you, and futari de.

The new stuff is so incredibly disappointing IMO :/

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

meh about the comparisons, people just have to be... "bothering" around


I love kuu, I love ayu, I love TRICK and hopefully will love Dejavu a lot too, AND I also love RnRC.

I mean...I'm with you, but...are you seriously telling me that you don't see the similarities?

You fail at trying to fake subtleness.

Good, because I wasn't going for subtle at all.
Don't you read most of my posts?

I'm never subtle. I'm always to the point and in your face. lol

PS- strobe, why are you coming for me so much lately? are we not friends anymore? tell me now so I can collect my things from your place.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

You're swell, but like, I freaking love Ayu, and everyone here knows that I'm a bigger fan of Ayu though I love love Kuu too anyway, but when people Ayu stan, especially on other artist's threads, it's really like... Seriously?

That's all I have to say and won't be saying anything else.

And also I don't like how much you clog up the Member's Pics thread. Just saying.

How am I being a stan? I blamed both ayu AND kumi for making it so easy to compare the two.

ALSO...what are you even talking about. I haven't posted a picture in DAYS. (AKA if you don't like it then don't visit.) kthxbai

I like you strobe, but I seriously don't appreciate the *****iness lately.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

The moment I saw the covers I thought of RnRC. I just didn't say anything because I didn't want to get attacked. But now that someone else has....

They're similar. I think if you fail to see any similarities, you're lying to yourself. But whatever haha. It's not like there's anything wrong with it. The union jack flag is everywhere right now in Japan. Like how the american flag was before it. Ayu just happened to do it before Kuu on an album cover.

I can guarantee that if Kuu's album was released before RnRC, everyone here would be saying Ayu's album looks like Kuu's. And would be saying how Ayu fans are crazy for not seeing anything similar.

(and I'm aware Ayu didn't invent the bob, hats, and flags. But thanks for reiterating it )

Of the PV previews, they all look great! I'm most excited for the Megumi no Hito video

[KarenPang]

POP DIVA PV preview (about 25 seconds or so)



omg it looks better than what I expected o_o''' & so cool man <3

I want the POP DIVA PV now T_T

Koda Kumi reveals details on her upcoming album, “Dejavu”!

Pop diva Koda Kumi just revealed information about her highly anticipated ninth album, “Dejavu”!

The album will go on sale March 2nd and will come in three editions: a limited CD+2DVD version, a CD+DVD version and a CD-only regular edition. The 2-disc special edition contains PVs and an exclusive recording of the singer’s “Dream music park Live,” which took place at Yokohama Stadium on July 3rd and 4th of last year.

Once the CD+2DVD version is sold out, the CD+DVD version (which contains only the PV disc) will go on sale. The CD itself features all her hit songs “Lollipop,” “Suki de, Suki de, Suki de,” “Anata Dake ga” and the “Crayon Shin-Chan” theme song “Hey Baby!” along with 11 new songs for a total of 15 tracks.

Ah ok , at least now I understand why there were 3 different prices attached on the FC screencap :O

[ストロボ・EdGE]

They definitely resemble one another, but I'm sure Kuu wouldn't be so blatant as to copy it. The way these Jpop singers are so prolific just increases the chances of them doing the same thing. I don't really see it as a big deal.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

^ I don't think it's a big deal either But there's bound to be people comparing them.

Oh, and i definitely don't think Kuu copied anything...just want to get that out there. haha

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I have a bad feeling it's going to be pounded to death.

Would this be the first time it's thought that Kuu copied Ayu, anyway? I see a lot more Ayu-->Kuu comments.

[emi♡]

^No way lol People are always talking crap about the koda cause they have nothing better to do except be threatened by other artists.


The only reason why they're similar is the hair and the flag...and the flag is because of the Alice theme and fashion trends.

Besides, everyone said Ayu pulled a Kuu when she did RnRC after Kuu did TRICK so...idk.

Personally, the similarities on the covers are like saying "oh look, they both have the color blue in them!"

It's like, so what. It's not a meaningful comparison. Now if you compared these covers to immi's ALICE covers, then you have something...cause they're the same theme and style lol

but I guess if you like generic pop songs and overly cheesy ballads that she didn't bother to write herself, then sure...

Replace the pop with rock, and you have rock and roll circus


I'm really hoping that Kuu doesn't actually pull an Ayu and have a cutesy Alice dress during the tour ew. But somehow...I see it happening lol

Didn't she do that already? Lol. It had stuffed animals attached to it, right? Poor things. Never knew what was coming to them.

[emi♡]

^I was thinking, probably, you know, cause she always has like cutesy dresses...but, I dont think she's had one that was like...blatant like Alice the way Ayu's was...

that tour segment always makes me O_o cause it had like, clowns and crap in it...but then she had the alice dress...yeah idk, whatever Ayu lol

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

^^ Haha yeah youre right Personally, I was over the Alice in Wonderland trend before it started. haha

[do it again]

So, I wasn't on here in early 2008... did we have people mentioning the similarities between their outfits on GUILTY and Kingdom and then have people totally go crazy because of it?

I hope she ditches that wig for the promo and keeps in her extensions like the PVs!!!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

You are free to express your opinion here everyone is! That is the beauty of opinions and this forum, it's not a tyranny where you can only speak positive things. If I see someone say they dislike something and they're respectful about it, I don't attack them for it because that's just as lame as insulting an artist. Ayu is srs business to some people, but so is Kuu. These are our idols and ****.

But speaking from experience, when someone insults an artist here, someone insults Kuu, someone else does, Kuu stans attack back and the stan wars begin which results in warnings, butthurt people, other stuff that is a pain in the ass to read here. We've all done it.

wow I feel really enlightened thanks to my buddy Mary Jane. She helps make things so peaceful and make so much sense.
