[emi♡]

well aren't you just totally awesome

[happiholic★]

This opening post owns my life. Saved the banner.

[Minttulatte]

Oh, I've been missing that "Koda Kumi Sekai" thing on the thread title/opening post so much XD It's also very true since Kuu threads are always like their own little world here. At least to me~

And I watched Dejavu Tour finally last weekend. It was awesome. I was distracted a few times because I wanted to write so I have to watch it again when I have more time but I did cry a lot while watching ballad section. Kuu's ballads are the best imo. I can't wait to hear some JAPONESQUE lives in November. I'm sure she's gonna sing some songs from that album. ^^

[ayu_ready?]

KK Sekai, OMG, wait till some hardcore Ayufans see this

[freedreamer]

KODA KUMI SEKAI AHAHHAH!!

Yeah, lol. I remember the last time. XD But it's just a thread title. What's so wrong with that anyway? :p

[koumori]

Nice first post Mwahaha~ Thanks George~

[AyuHamasaki01]

Koda Kumi Sekai I love the title!

[Zeke.]

Are there official lyrics to "Teaser" ? When I searched google they just didn't seem correct.

[ilovekodaa]

hhahahaahhaa I love the title! XD!!!

[Minttulatte]

^I love your signature. I got so shocked when I saw that PV for the first time lol. I didn't expect anything like that haha. x3

I don't know how correct these are but that's the only version I've read (and translated into Finnish which was a pain in my ass -.-).

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Loving the new title and banner.

I don't know how correct these are but that's the only version I've read (and translated into Finnish which was a pain in my ass -.-).

These lyrics say "Cool in the house", but I swear I read somewhere that she was singing "Kuu in the house". I could be wrong, I'm just curious.

Can I be annoying and ask, is the banner on the OP supposed to be flushed left? Or is it center with the rest of the text?

[adantatu2]

^^thanks, mermaid kumi is
That witch is so hilarious, XD

[emi♡]

her outfits

would soo cosplay the mermaid kuu. I can't wait til my hair gets that long.

I love her castle dress.

She makes everything fun.

[Lady~Deviance]

That banner owns my soul. Great opening post.

[RikkuK]

It's funny how she is looking more and more like Ayu. Or they both are becoming such plastic caricatures of their former-selves and aiming for this impossible standard of Americanized beauty...?

Not to be rude but this post just screams irony with that avatar.
