I actually assumed this already. When looking at the cloud pattern, I guessed that they weren't. Plus the super high waist.

Maybe next years we are going to get the BEST ~fourth dimension~ & Driving Hit's 10 together, like it was with third universe & UNIVERSE.

Kuu posted an update for DH's 9.



She received the nonstop-mix today and tomorrow these two extra discs are going to be mastered.

[Gustavopc]

^ That's great to know! I hope this mean they'll release covers and tracklist still this week

And "fourth dimension" would be such a cool title for a best cause the fourth dimension is time, it totally fits the idea of a compilation

I was impressed with her DNA TOUR vocals. I wasn't expecting strong vocals after the Melodix performance, which I consider to be her weakest of 2018 but she sounded great. NEVER ENOUGH performance was amazing, even better than the performance at WADA FES. I loved how they had mountains in the background during the performance, made it even more special since they are directly connected to the lyrics.

Kumi is the only artist who's got duplicates in my music library, as I like to have her discography complete. At least avex learned not to sell playlists as albums since they released LIVE TOUR 2018 ~DNA~ SET LIST as an actual playlist, not an "album".

I recently got my hands on these promo CDs, if anyone is interested I can upload them for you in apple lossless.

Spoiler:

^I would like that too - the problem is that a lot of my playlist rely on playcounts and it just fucks it up.

[wednesday]

Does iTunes let you give music two tags? I seem to recall being able to add to separate artists under its tag, separated by a semicolon, but I haven’t used iTunes on a computer so I might be totally wrong. But, if one could, a single song could appear on two albums and get the play count of both, yeah?

Looks like Driving Hits 9 is available for listening on Koda Gumi and playroom.



My membership expired, so I can't check to see if it's up on the overseas FC.

[ALfromHELLSING]

^Previews are up on the International FC too, however, I don't have the tools to rip them. The tracklist is under the spoiler. I love all the previews, another solid Driving Hit's album. Kuueen of Remixes.

Spoiler:

[Diva_br]

My favorite so far is HOT HOT

[Corvina]

I think it's funny they uploaded previews before we officially got any tracklist, rofl.

Kuu is on a little break right now, she said so on the FC yesterday.

[Party_King]

Oh my! I want to hear these previews so bad!
Is someone able to rip and Upload them? Please... ^^

Koda Kumi Germany uploaded all of them on their Insta:
https://instagram.com/kumi_germany?u...=17cfsc7oawrlj
It's probably on their facebook page, too.

The remix of 会えなくなるくらいなら is totally going to be my jam!

[Gustavopc]

My opinion from the previews:

Spoiler:

The second HUSH remix, HAIRCUT and Aenaku(...) sound really promising! Other than that, ScREaM sounds like it'll be better than the original song Work That has a nice drop, but those high-pitched parts... ugh, just no. Everything else sounds good to me.

Oh, and I'm trying to understand that reggaeton-like part at the end of Koi no tsubomi That was so unexpected! (Probably that's the guy who remixed it himself?) Really curious to hear how the whole thing will work out.

Seems like it won't top DH7 for me but still a nice album!

[Corvina]

I'm really looking forward to DH's 9 now after the previews!
There are some I'm really excited for.
After 会えなくなるくらいなら, the remix of HAIRCUT is my other favourite - sounds like a dark gaming soundtrack and I love it!
心からi love u sounds great as well, the new melody is nice.
ScREaM , I'll Be There and HOT HOT (that scream) sound interesting as well.

Kuu ended her short break at home (must have been about 2 weeks) and was in the studio.
She is still enjoying her free time though, she just posted about attending a class of some new form of yoga - black light yoga.

Waiting for the rest of the DH's 9 info and the tour DVD!
