most likely a false positive if you're using Avast, I've had my computer scanned 2 days ago and use avira + malwarebyte so I highly doubt any virus could ever enter my computer... I also scanned the files themselves with both software and couldn't find a thing. I did some research regardless and they all say it's a false positive so it should be safe

thanks for sharing all new videos

[sora-kara]

thanks for all the sharing!

Legend Live is a great release, but I see why they kept these songs for this instead of releasing them as a single after Bon Voyage.
In that recent interview, Kuu had said that with Bon Voyage she basically wanted to do different things with her music, and say 'Bon Voyage' to the sounds she's given us before.
While Legend Live has some great material, each track can fall into a rather typical song type from Kuu. They're great, but they're not as new or different in style as the HOTEL single was. It's nice to see her sticking to her word and keeping up with new stylistic offerings, even after the Bon Voyage project was Kuumplete.

Really? Hotel single didn't offer anything new. The title song is like 20 other kuu midtempos, Money in my bag (cool song but sadly too short) is in the vein of Bling Bling Bling and the third song is the typical ballad. I'm not saying that this single is bad or anything but it's not anything new.
On the other hand, SO FEVER is amazing. Indeed similar to some other sexy songs but I don't know, it has a different vibe.

to me both are really great, the hotel single is fabulous as a whole, the interludes are amazing this time. I'm enjoying both releases equally. what would my life be without her music

[Gustavopc]

I barely complain of Kuu videos but omg NEVER GIVE IT UP was the worst thing she did in ages, I'm SO glad it's not an actual release

otoh Kimi Omoi is a nice PV, low-budget but still nicely done, I loved the Paris setting. And of course SO FEVER is amazing as hell, both song and PV. I hope it gets a live perfomance, maybe next year? She should do an arabic-bloc in a tour and perform it with Get It On, Candy and so on

[Zeke.]

I don't find the new songs special. The overall aura and environment of SO FEVER is fantastic, but the song itself is rather dull. I dislike how during the chorus the melody repeats the same notes over and over - I wished for a slight variation in the pattern. The ballad is the definition of boring, and that other song was nothing special either.

[kaled kalil]

@Gustavopc I know, right? It seems more like a leftover TRICK track/music video... If it was for Bon Voyage it would be SO out of place.

What I like about Kimi Omoi is that she doesn't repeat the name of the song over and over again (like TURN AROUND; Suki de; Aitakute; Koishikute; Ai wo Tomenaide; Anata Dake Ga; and the list goes by haha).

And about HOTEL's "freshness", Kuu doesn't have a song like that; midtempo, yes she does, but a midtempo that is half talking and half singing, not at all.
Btw I just can't see MONEY IN MY BAG being a Bling Bling Bling ~to the future~ as people are saying, it's a dance track and not trying-to-be-hip-hop-but-even-Kuu-knows-that-the-song-doesn't-have-a-defined-style-so-she-sings-a-rockish-version.

She'll be at the a-nation next week, I hope we get a good setlist, I can't deal with the festival setlist that she's doing lately (BE MY BABY / Bling Bling Bling / UNIVERSE).

thanks Utena~ >_<

[happiholic★]

The new ballad is like the worst thing ever omg. So Fever on the other hand gives me life.

[ayu_ready?]

I really didn't like HOTEL single as much, the new Fever single wins over it for me

[freedreamer]

Kuu is hilarious in NEVER GIVE IT UP's PV HAHAHHA!! her expression at the end was priceless!

[Gustavopc]

@KKalil I hope she includes MONEY IN MY BAG in the setlist. I think it'll be like

BE MY BABY
MONEY IN MY BAG
Ai no uta
LALALALALA
Cutie Honey
HOTEL

It's not what I want, but what I think is more likely

I just wanted to know, Koda Gumi does not have a space to comment things, does it? Cause I was wondering if you guys saw the last August Koda Gumi staff report? That got me feeling ansious already.

Same here
Sadly the music videos aren't really good, they are OK

[~kashifaita~]

I actually wouldn't have minded it if she added SO FEVER to the Hotel single
I think it would've been a nice 4A side

[Beauty4123]

I absolutely loved each moment of the "Kimi Omoi" PV! It was so beautiful.

Kuu looked gorgeous in the PV, from start to finish! The song itself is such a lovely ballad & I positively love it.

I agree. her PVs have run out of good quality after JAPONESQUE I think

[~StarCatcher~]

I think the LEGEND FEVER LIVE ones are very good in quality.

The HOTEL one is okay.
And in the MONEY IN MY BAG PV the only good thing is the choreography imo

You summed up everything I was going to say.

I'm a sucker for rock tracks so i'm biased on that one. But still yeah none of them is anything spectacular. *shrugs*

for me HOTEL is more on the "different" side than SO FEVER or Kimi Omoi. They sound like typical koda stuff to me. I actually have it in the playlist with Bon Voyage and it blends in nicelly for me together with MONEY IN MY BAG.

Also i think i became a fan xD
