@ Corvina I don't fault Max. In business, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. I think he saw her potential, but wasn't going to mince words about her future, if she didn't stop just expecting success to happen.
You are 100% correct, by saying Kumi didn't have a clear vision of herself or career. To be fair, she was a young girl fresh out of high school signed to the most famous label in Japan. There was some personal growth that needed to happen and ultimately she figured out her own style/brand. I should probably clarify my feelings on grow into one. As an album it's fine and her involvement with Lisa and Blistah, was indeed a match made in heaven. She probably wouldn't have made the excellent feel my mind, without the experience of 2000 to 2003. That said, I just get annoyed that she wasn't allowed as much input despite her lyrical skill on the 2nd album. Last edited by lovethatkuu&ayu; 11th August 2018 at 08:16 PM.

Out of her first albums I prefer affection over grow into one, it feels just more solid even tho her singing technique wasn't polished. But feel my mind for sure wins against both affection and grow into one, you can feel she just clicked with her stage persona during that era and everything worked well together. I feel like affection got personality, grow into one got the technique/production and feel my mind got all of it.

I was about to say that she said some things on Koda Reki about that.
I used to dislike grow into one, but lately I've been listening a lot and enjoying it. I feel like affection didn't age as good as grow into one.

Really curious about what she says exactly about Ayu in bpm. So excited!

I actually like WATCH OUT more than HAIRCUT. It's a mess and I can see why people don't like it but more I listen to it more I like it. I love the choreography too.
Gimme gimme a cash cash part was the best. lmao I love all her songs, which involve money. Quote:

PARTY also had spelling mistakes, even though Kuu pronounced everything correctly in the song. Shouldn't happen, but I guess that's Japanese... She explains that Pin Drop means a silence, where you can even hear a pin falling down. It's a performance song. Edit: Ok, Kuu teased at her FC blog, that she's doing acrobatics for this coming tour again, so it could be frieze indeed, if she wants to hint to that, I guess.

I had a feeling she would probably do some acrobatic stunts again after seeing P!nk in Australia.

It says “your body feels as if it will ‘freeze’ right?” (It’s being used as a verb as it’s followed by する)
And then the end of that section says “only I’ve got the antidote” Frieze is an extremely obscure word. I’d say the majority of English speakers would not even know it exists... So I have a hard time believing it was used as some sort of double meaning... I’m going to assume it’s a stylistic choice more than anything.

I have the same thoughts as before that , I never knew the word Frieze does exist in the English language and let alone English is my 1st language
Who knew that today I learnt something new thanks to Kuu x) Bigger images of the numerous DNA bonus items have been uploaded online Spoiler:

Watch Out is at least tolerable in high quality. Some edgy elements were added here and there, I am actually loving the bridge part before the final chorus. I don't think Haircut would be this powerful live.. It is certainly Kenji's most experimental track to date

 The choreography in that live there was...hoo boy...that was something. Just messy, sloppy, nonsense. Kuu is such a great performer, but you can only do so much with the material. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I haven't really enjoyed one of Kuu's albums for a long time now. She's continuing in a direction that I just don't understand.

The reaction to WATCH OUT is odd...
Are we seriously going to pretend that Blingx3, It's All Love, and POP DIVA don't exist.

I'm telling you, all you need is a few drinks to enjoy Watch Out (and maybe something else that they are going to legalize in Canada very soon...).
Honestly, I am really enjoying the direction Kuu is taking. Its different, and its not for everyone. Its kinda like gyaru fashion. I have loved it since day one, but most people find it hard to look at. Its all about doing what makes you happy without hurting others and being kick ass. Screw the rules! Maybe be a bit of an eyesore

@ALfromHELLSING Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S7b...ew?usp=sharing
--- She's recording something: https://www.instagram.com/p/BmcqTB-Aadw/ I would say that she's recording the videos for the tour. Wish it was a recording of a performance or something, but I guess the promotion is gonna end after bpm and the a-nation.
