She said at some point, I don't remember when, that since she was dating him while she was creating the album some of the stuff was influenced and/or inspired by him. Seriously, I love Kenji right now.

[Gustavopc]

^ Me too I can see a bit of KENJI/BACK-ON influence on tracks like BBBoys and No Man's Land, probably the demo songs were just typical pop songs.

Oh, and InoriNoUta, Kumi doesn't sing "romance" in You are not alone [nor "bromance" lolol], but "I promise" engrish ftw

[Bad Wolf]

^ omg I'm a spaz XD;; Thank you!

happiholic: That's amazing :O I only know Kenji from their duet at a-nation and holy crap, he seems so fun.

[pommy48]

I'm only halfway through the album, but I love every single song

I need to buy this album and I will <3 It'll be my first Kuu release *_*

[Lady~Deviance]

Just listened to the album and overall it was mediocre to me. Sorry folks. There were only a few tracks that had slight replay value to me. But I will say that the album is a hell of a lot more cohesive and interesting than "Kingdom", "TRICK", "Universe", and "Deja vu".

"Best~SS~" and "Black Cherry" still remain as my favorite Kuu releases.

[setsuka]

Black Cherry is the stain on her discography lbr

any way I can't wait for VIVI scans, looks amazing

[Bad Wolf]

Best~second session~ is pretty fantastic, can't lie. I remember thinking Black Cherry was awesome back when I first listened to it. I haven't given it a proper listen in a while so I should go back and check it out. Undoubtedly I'll gush over it lol It was the album that made me like Kuu to begin with.

[krauterol]

Slow PV Leaked!

Pretty poor, but it's still nice, and I like the couple Kuu-Omarion

Don't understand the part after Lay Down though. XD

Going to listen to the whole album now. I'm excited!

EDIT:
Vivi March previews




Thanks to LiDaYu at JPC

Wow, she looks amazing here. I actually for the first time had to say to myself "She just might be hotter than Ayu here"

[happiholic★]

Its all about proper photoshopping I feel like she's more shopped than usual, but probably because its ViVi

[koumori]

Koda's a better model than Ayu. She just pulls on all these emotions and expressions perfectly. Just my opinion, both women are flawless.

[taskinillusion]

Ugh it's so hard waiting to receive my actual copy of the album before I'll allow myself to listen to it, but DAMNIT, I'm going to do it!!! It'll be like the good old days.... I can't wait though!

[Ayu_Love]

^^I can see where you are coming from. I think Ayu does a lot of the same poses that she knows works for her, although her recent magazine shoots have been to die for. <3 I would jump around naked just to know how to pose as well as both of them, though. I always pose awkwardly in photo's. :|

I've always thought Ayu was a better model, in the fashion sense. Kuu is a great model for like, her CD covers. Those I find better than Ayu's.

Really? I suppose when Ayu pulls it off, she really pulls it off well. I just always found Koda's shoots more interesting and unique.

When it comes down to it though, they're both too beautiful for words.
I'd blame Photoshop, but they're flawless in concert too.

[Ayu_Love]

^LOL yes. I would blame photoshop, if it was actually photoshop. XD

They look the same in person. D8

[happiholic★]

I don't mean to be a Debbie Downer, but do you know how much makeup they wear? And anything that's not fixed with makeup is done with photoshop. Not saying they aren't pretty, but they certainly don't roll out of bed looking like that.
