^thanks!


and 4 octaves? really?

[Minttulatte]

Kuu's vocal range is awesome. The best voice from Japan imo~

[Zeke.]

Well it could be like a foam party. They are tacky though - it's like a cheap version/cheap outtakes from the FREAKY release. She looked hot as Hell in those though and that shoot was of high quality. Even the picture of her eating off that spoon looked great and felt very "Summer"ish.

The covers are very cute... but who would wear sunglasses in the bath?

Nope, never. And I've never personally seen bubbles/foam in a pool, so thinking its a bath is logical...

foam parties are not about bubbles/foam in the pool!I don't know, but the ones I go to are club parties when they pour foam on people. there's that device that generates foam up and from there they pour the foam. crazy, yeah, but they are really fun in summer

The only place I've seen those foam parties are at clubs or new years things, but otherwise I would never have seen them xP its not really an Australian thing to do so it is logical to have thought it was a bath.

I wouldve liked the covers if the cd+dvd one had a better shot, I think the angle is terrible but I love the colours a lot. I dont mind the font so much but after a while it starts to look tacky.

[Earth_maiden]

^Haha, exactly, in Australia we have BBQ's in summer! I've seen those foam things at places like the Royal Show, but other than that, nowhere else. ^_^

^O_o

Disappointing to see all the notes below C3 are harmonized or octave unison(both things which tell us practically nothing as it's incredibly easy to tamper with that using effects, octave unison often is created by taking the higher version and just transposing it digitally for example and since it's in the background you can't tell if that was done or it was actually sang in that octave). Very nice belts from C5 to E5 though! I love her power in her belting range, it's nothing spectacular but she has great control over it. And her highest falsetto notes are really nice, too. She's better than I thought. Even if her "realistic" chestvoice range seems to be more along the lines of C3(or B2)-E5(which is still above average).

LOL @ the beach poster. Though, it is a cool idea. Less damage will come to it over time. Kinda like how Canada now has plastic money that is hard to rip.

Also, who is putting soap suds into the pool at summer parties? Not cool, man. Not cool. Unless they are trying to conserve water by skinny dipping and bathing at the same time or something. But, that's still weird.

I still wanna know the exact contents on the DVD before I buy my copy!!!

So much praise for the album cover! lol I think its just tacky and horrible, like the Dejavu album cover (i still think she stole Ayu's rock'n'roll circus swag and it failed)
On a bright side, i DID order Dejavu... but only because CDJapan had it on sale for %50 off lol

those weren't any better though
at least Dejavu covers had a concept on them, but I do agree that the photoshop was pretty bad.

I still think her worst cover to date is flower. lol
can't get the hate for the COME WITH ME cover. I think it's just... simple.

I have to say I don't think she took Ayu's covers at all. Kuu has been known to do British themes in the past, like with Kingdom, and she wears a lot of British clothes and clothes with the Union Jack on them. The Dejavu covers were British 'Alice in Wonderland' inspired, not punk like 'Rock 'n' Roll Circus'. If you look at the Dejavu booklet, you can see the concept, and that's the reason there are floating objects on the cover. People were having this argument when Dejavu came out, I just hate that just because two big artists have done a British theme, people think they HAVE to copying each other. They both did British themes but completely different concepts. Like someone said, British and American fashion is very well liked in Japan, especially among Gyaru's.

I still like the covers, not the best summer covers she has done but she is pregnant, so she can't really do a full body shoot, like FREAKY. I still like the energy she shows in the covers though! It would probably look less tacky without the wig, but the wig also gives it s funky look.

EDIT: Also, I've never seen this before this video before:



It's of a girl called 'Mei Mei' doing a dance cover of Kuu's 'Show Girl' and 'Juicy'. From watching a few vids, I think it's a popular Chinese show where young dancers (I think mei mei is one of the main dancers) do covers of popular JPOP & KPOP songs. She's also done 2NE1, 4minute, BoA, SHINee etc. They're quite fun to watch!

I think the cover isn't like a party or something, it's just her sitting on a chair (we can't see the chair, but that's how they took the picture) with a lot of foam, and that's it. XD

The poster idea is so cool, I love it.

People are overreacting about everything... Driving Hits have a cover worse than that (imo of course, her hair is so gross there) and the tracklist isn't over yet, and even if it's done isn't that bad.

[emi♡]

Tacky like Dejavu?



I think the covers are just like Gossip Candy Except they decided to throw all kinds of bubbles in there lol

I think these ARE tacky...but idk I have a soft spot for them cause, like I said, they remind me of the 90s.
