and i love crossroad, BUT the PV wasn't really my thing...
most people here now i don't mean it negative!

it's like i call Kuu's It's all Love! hair the rockchicklesbohair or call her new single Ai wo Tomato...
it's more like i try to be funny... if people get my sense of humor is another story! <34567890
so don't worry i don't mean it bad!

[Corvina]

Yeah, I really, really like the latter half of Ai wo tomenaide PV, after he dissolves, Kuu is grieving for him and everything starts to be in flames.
Though her acting is sometimes...wtf?

You are not alone PV is sweet in full, much better than the preview.
Can't wait to have the full song, I like it so much!

[Gubsi]

^yeah her acting is sometimes lolworthy!
BUT indeed a beautiful PV and i think i can speak for many of us that Ai wo Tomato-Paprika is after many repeats/the PV/blatc. a great ballad!

hope she has flawless hair like that when we're going to japan next year!

and i can't wait what we get as next single/s..!?
all i need is one magnificent rnb ballad like No Way/Okay and some poppin' electro dance song like TABOO meets POP DIVA meets danceable!
wonder if we get the next single this year or in january...

[Corvina]

She lets her own hair grow at the moment, you can see in the Dejavu Tour blog how long it already got!

The next release probably will be the Dejavu Tour DVD.
It all depends if she's making a new album this year for e.g. December or her pattern stays the same and we're getting a new one in January-April next year.

[Lee^ChaN]

does she look half naked on Ai wo Tomenaide PV?
damn.. who's the lucky guy?!

[Corvina]

Good question. Maybe he's her current boyfriend, we know she has one.

She has a boyfriend? xD xD

[milky_way]

^ We do?

[krauterol]

amazing pv, seriously!
so beautiful, well done and she looks stunning! btw, the song is growing on me (and the pv will help to speed it up!)

[kaled kalil]

Ai wo Tomenaide is really well done, the effect of the guy dissolving is great! Maybe he is her boyfriend, since we cant see his face even on the making of.
You are not alone is even worse than I expect, I dont like this "cute trying to be R&B" mix, and the pv is just bad.

Dunno if someone already posted it here, but it's the translation of the MS talk part with DBSK and Kumi:

Spoiler:

MC: Next is Tohoshinki
YH&CM: I beg your kindness.
MC: I beg your kindness.
MC: Do you remember your first appearance on Music station?
YH: Yes, I do. We were invited to this program thank to the collaboration with Kumi Koda.
YH: This is a live program. Of course, we were nervous. Koda-san kindly gave us advices and talked to us a lot. It made us feel better.
Koda: Really? Was I nice to you? (in Kansai dialect)
YH: It's true (in Kansai dialect)
Koda: I’m glad to hear that.
MC: Koda-san, how did you feel?
Koda: They were really young at that time. Of course I was young, too. I think Yunho was 20.
YH: Yes, that’s right.
Koda: Changmin was 19 or so, was a teenager. They were so young like a fresh fruits.
Koda: I must say Korean men are really gentlemen compared to Japanese men. They gave me warm feelings. I almost fell in love with them. They are wonderful men from back then. They were boys at that time. Now they are men.
YH: Thank you so much.
CM: Thank you so much.
CM: So many years have passed?
Koda: Yes. I’m 28. I’ll be 29 soon. And both have become attractive men.
MC: We saw your commercial film just now. It’s kind of seductive.
MC: Tomori-san can't stop thinking about it.
Koda: Because I’m an adult woman.
MC: I wanted to see more.
Koda: You can see more in the DVD. Please check it out.
MC: Could you get ready for it?
YH&CM: I beg your kindness.

MC: When Tohoshinki started Japanese activities, they translated the lyrics of Fukuyama-san’s Sakurazaka to study Japanese.
MC: Really?
MC: Did you know that?
Fukuyama: This is the first time I've heard of it. Please sing it.
MC: The next song is Tohoshinki…..Just a moment. It takes a little more.
Koda: I think I’ve heard the two boys singing Sakurazaka.
MC: Really?
Koda: For example, in the backstage. They sing it in harmony.
Fukuyama: Please sing it on TV, not in the background.
Koda: Yes please. I want to see it, too.
MC: Okay. The next song is B.U.T by Tohoshinki.

Took it from the Tohoshinki thread.

[do it again]

Koda: They were really young at that time. Of course I was young, too. I think Yunho was 20.

LOL

[Ayu_Love]

I wonder if they guy in the PV is her boyfriend? As you don't see his face? I'm going to wait til the DVD comes out to watch the PVs, although the second half of AWT sounds cool! D:

And yeah Koda revealed that she was seeing someone at the mini Dejavu promotional concert which was aired on Ustream just after Dejavu's release. (The one where she fell over performing POP DIVA.). She revealed that she was dating someone and that she was very happy, although I think she wants to keep it private which is why she hasn't revealed anything about it apart from that announcement. I did notice that kuu was instantly happier in that time and since. I hope they're relationship continues to get better

Founds the scans of Scawaii:



Picture is adorable.

[Gubsi]

i think Ai wo Tomato is really gorgeous, with every listen i love it more and more!
You are not alone... well i loved the mellow live version, BUT i think the poppier rnb version is wonderful too!
it's a good combo with YANA together!
and it's an encouraging song, so thats why she changed it into a happier tune!

darling, go one page back and see what scans are there... lol
seems like most members, tumblrs, etc. are kinda late with these scans, when it was already shared everywhere!
BUT thanks for finding!

[NintendoHTF1242]

I like her boobs in that shot

[jbrat2219]

I got this issue in New York yesterday! It was a pleasant surprise to see Kuu.

[adantatu2]

wow, that pic is gorgeous

[happiholic★]

I thought Kuu just said that she had a crush? She's dating someone now?

[George]

How gorgeous can she get? Seriously.

[AyuHamasaki01]

I'm in love with Kuu's hair
