I translated the ViVi interview~

ViVi (2012 March) Interview Translation => here

"In the past there were times where I wondered whether I would put down my microphone and leave the stage after marriage like Yamaguchi Momoe. But in my case it looks like I will always be glued to my microphone (laughs)."

--
I love the way she describes her relationship with Kenji

[~StarCatcher~]

My dream since my debut to “perform Cutie Honey with my child in my arms” is still going strong (laughs). I’ll make that dream come true someday so please look forward to it ♥♥♥.”

that's awesome *-* wanna see it soon.
So happy that she will continue singing.

[kaled kalil]

What a cute interview, thanks tenshi!

It seems that this year she wanted to do an Asia Tour, sadly it wont happen right now.

I haven't seen a lot of GaGa stuff, so please tell me where Kuu influenced Gaga despite the Kingdom stage. I'm really interested!

[Minttulatte]

Lady Gaga and Kuu appeared together in a ViVi magazine in Spring 2009, I think. Not sure which issue it was but when I read that, I thought they should collaborate. XD

Thanks for the translation. I appreciate it. <3

^ Well, it took some years for Kumi and Fergie's song to come out But I don't think I'd like Gaga to sing with Kumi... imo they image don't fit that well like Fergie and Kuu, but we never know...

Thanks for the interview translation! I love the idea she had for JAPONESQUE, and as kaled said, probably she was planning to extend her 2012 tour into an Asia Tour, or maybe hold some special concerts overseas after the tour...

[Corvina]

Thanks tenshi for translation!
So Kuu and her team are aware now that she has overseas fans.
And understandable now why JAPONESQUE is like it is.
Maybe that means something good for us in the future?

Kuu and Lady Gaga were together in Vivi September 2009:
Here's the translated interview:

JAPONESQUE just got certified Gold.

We'll get the sales with weekly numbers.

Ah, and thanks guys!

[Heavenly]

Thanks for the interview translation, very cute ♥ ^^

btw, I made out of the logo of Japonesque a big PNG image, so that everyone can use it if you want ^^ :

[happiholic★]

Thank you for the translation!!

I love how bold she is with her music. Even though the tracks on Japonesque aren't exactly what the Japanese listen to, she still went for it and wanted to do it. But, she's always been bold like that, with her ero-kawaii style. Its what I love about her. She's so confident in herself and does these bold yet sexy things. Even my mom respects and likes that. She really enjoys watching Kuu confidently own a stage, and even doesn't mind her sexiness because she is in admiration of how confident Kuu is doing it. People think she's being a skank or just being Western with her image, but she's really just trying to be a real woman in a place where being a little girl is considered more sexy. She's so inspiring. Even if her lyrics are a bit shallow, she herself touches my heart. This is why I love Kuu. /end fangirl mushy rant.

EDIT: Also, this, SO MUCH: “Girl talk. Laughing loudly with my girl friends is the best medicine.”

[kaled kalil]

A collaboration between Gaga and Kuu would be cool in 2009, right now Gaga is more crazy with the outfits and style than back then, I can't see they together again. XD

[Gustavopc]

I was reading the interview again... Kumi has already told that thing about singing Cutie Honey to her baby, hasn't she? It sounds familiar to me...

There's a colour by Superdrug (not sure if Superdrug is outside UK) called 'Honey Copper' which is the same shade, and also the one I used.

No way really? Is it superdrug's own brand? I'm from the UK =]

[Ayu_Love]

^Yes! The new brand they have now, I think it's called the Superdrug 'Colour Vibrance' range, the colour is 'Honey Copper'. I think it's very similar to Kuu's colour there!

And I adored that interview. I am even more happy about JAPONESQUE now, knowing her reasons behind it. Even if it's not to the Japanese's taste, I'm glad she is trying to stretch internationally instead! Saying that she recognized that most people on her FB were international fans, and that she was hoping to speak conversations in English really excited me! I'm really glad Kuu is trying to get her music heard internationally, and was proud with what she did on JAPONESQUE.

[setsuka]

yah Gaga x Kuu would be so weird,lol
(only Gaga collab I remember was with Beyonce and that was tragic for both parties)

but I would love a Kuu ft Nicki Minaj, I dunno it would be hot (only if Nicki stops being a little repetitive)

the interview was super cute,gosh Kuu is gonna be the cutest mom with her little baby

[ALfromHELLSING]

Thank you very much for the translation tenshi no hane! I'm going to read it now. Man, a part of me has almost died when I heard that she considered retirement.

Telephone was tragic? are u sure?

[kaled kalil]

The music video is tragic, too much things going on, even Gaga said she thought it was too much (I don't remember where I saw she saying this, tell me if I'm wrong XD). The song is just okay, nothing special...

[Ayu_Love]

I've got Telephone stuck in my head now....And I haven't even listened to it in months.

Kuu is going to be such a great Mum...I hope she'll sing Cutie Honey with her baby in her arms, that will be so damn cute!

I wonder if it will be a boy or a girl?
