Like It is definitely a breath of fresh air for Kuu, most of her music since Trick have been the same for the most part so this is very welcome. The video is great as well, it reminds me of her older stuff!

God I hate this modern urban shit ku has been doing. I know it fits with the times but I'd much rather listen to songs like Shake It, Love goes like... Or even Candy over her most recent "urban" efforts. She used to sound like the urban genre was HER bitch. Now she sounds like SHES the bitch.

Whoooaa..I really like Like it aside for the fact that its a bit repetitive (we already have Money In My Bag with the same problem). And so short also x.x Even the pv is nice and summerish. Urban Kuu is so good. That's why I love Kingdom so much. I hope that this album is more urbanish than dance pop.
And I also like a lot the pv for Walk Of MY Life. She seems to put a lot of work into her pvs lately. Especially regarding the visuals. The multiple Kuu scene is so unexpected and nice. As for the song, I love the nostalgic piano intro. The rest of the ballad is not bad either and I can really feel the emotion behind it.

After the disastrous singles for this album, I'm relieved with these two good tracks.

I actually think it helps that MIMB and Like It are so short. Since they are a bit repetitive. I would say like it is less so, though and is a bit more cute and flirty. MIMB is the more repetitive beat, but Kuu's vocals help keep it interesting. And its more gangster than twerk? Lmao.

What I really love about Like It is its high production value. The more you listen to it, the more you will discover. It's neatly produced (better than MIMB imo). Hope the other album tracks show this as well.

I'm kinda disappointed that the walk of her life is business as usual but Like It can be a reverse hot jam (fun for non-standard reasons like being such a hot mess that it's amazing). I told my friend that the album is the 'walk of her life' where she asks you to put your money in her bag and she was like 'lol is she a criminal?'. Gotta love Queen Kumi Kehova lol.

^but they are right. without offending you they gave you facts about her msuic style...which she kind of shifted away from over the past few years...but she has urban roots and still shows that (the fetaures, songs like Under)
It is your own point of view to dislike the song because of that, and no one can take that away from you, but you can't change the facts

Girl looked hot in the Like It PV, but the song just doesn't do it for me right now. IMO WOML > Like It

I honestly think its Kuu herself. She's shown she's athletic and flexible. Like, I would put money on stunt double in Lollipop video for riding a horse, but something strictly physical I could see Kuu doing herself.

I agree, I'm pretty sure she's doing the stunts herself.
She's done that backflip she shows in the video already in several tours on stage.

Okay, I finally listened to Like It lol. It's not bad. I mean technically it might be bad, idk or care, but I feel like it's a grower for sure. Kinda like VIP.

Much better than the demos and title track for me for now though.

One of the reasons why I got into Kuu in the first place was because she wasn't Ayu. I was just about getting annoyed with Ayu's music (I listened too much, lol) and needed a break. kuu was the perfect escape but I also got stuck because her urban pop/R&B is the best shit I've ever heard from a Japanese artist. I love the direction she's going too, because I was alittle bit scared that she's going to start making dance music like Namie does. I have never seen Kuu has a dancepop artist. She has always been the R&B/Urban queen as Namie is the queen of dancepop to me.

Also, I must be the only one here but in my eyes there has never been anything Ayuish in the way Kuu performs, in her fashion style, in her music videos or in her music. Ayu has a different atmosphere in every song she releases, and therefore I can't understand these comparisions at all. :') I have seen some people even calling Kuu a Ayu copycat because Kuu sings "Maria" in This is not a love song. Like, seriously? :'D But anyhoo, I'm not here to argue. Just wanted to let this out. I wanna watch Futurama instead.

As for Like It and WALK OF MY LIFE PVs, I loved them both. And songs as well. Like It had to grow on me for a moment, but it's awesome, fresh and catchy. Like MONEY IN MY BAG is. WALK OF MY LIFE is very beautiful. I love songs like this. I'm really excited for the album, and I'm gonna listen to it like crazy when it's released.
