[Me, Myself & Music]

I've missed out on so much Kuu.

I really can't wait for Japonesque. From the previews it sounds like it might be on the level of Kingdom. I can't wait.

So Nice, the PV was simple, and nice. She looked good.

Did the piercing changed sides? Wasn't it just the mirror? I usually notice these things, but I didn't in this PV lol

The big deal was TABOO, there's a short scene in which she appears without her hair extensions, right before the last chorus and the lesbian [?] kiss

I could have been the mirror, yes. Still, I shouldn't be looking so damn hard.

But LMFAO at the USB stick.. random much? XD

Also, i've made a temporary cover for Japonesque until some more promo pictures come out http://i40.tinypic.com/15h1lq0.png

Nicely done! I like this cover more than the official ones. Though I have such a pet peeve that they've written it as Japonesque -- shouldn't it be Japanesque? D:

I think it's a French word. Or something.

[emi♡]

^yeah, Japonesque is correct. Its borrowed into English as well.

Has anyone put the pvs on youtube yet? Dailymotion hates my phone...ugh theyll probably get taken down super quickly.

[femtrooper]

Thanks for the upload!

[setsuka]

nah I don't think you can upload on youtube since it scans the music and blocks automatically (happens to me wayyy to much,lol)
but if you are using a iphone/ipod dailymotion has a mobile version

the only I could find on youtube is really altered :/

anyway still waiting for a leak, I wish did a live instead of a cm collection, cuz really that sounds so dumb but oddly can't wait to watch it

I believe you are right. Japon is the French way of saying Japan. And "esque" is more or less French for "-ish" or like... "the essence of". Or something. My French is getting rusty.

^no way, a bunch of people didnt know the word when the title was announced~


boom boom boys. Thats my gurl. Hilarious pv, totally awesome.

Japonesque is French and means something western that's influenced by japanese culture and style. I've read that the French also use it to name a certain style in art, don't know much more though.
Japonism or Japonisme is the main term, take a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japonism
It's already pretty old!
And I know there's a make up label with that name!

The term totally decsribes Kuu and her music. She's a westernized japanese artist, from the start till now; the new album shows it great, western styled songs with japanese influences.

It's indeed a French word, it roughly means "Arts of Japan", something that is characteristically Japanese, and you can also use it when you talk about european art -especially impressionism- which is inspired by Japanese culture.. like you would say watching a painting "Oh this looks quite 'Japonesque'.."

Brave's full lyrics? => here

They seem legit. They match the preview's lyrics and also the parts that I could decipher from that video where some guy showed the booklet.
