Kuu is just giving me reasons to get even more excited about the upcoming releases and events But with the mini-live in December I think that the CDL is almost impossible to happen

Emoda is a Mode Gyaru clothing brand. Mode means "High Fashion" in Japanese, a good explanation of the whole term and brands here:
http://universal-doll.com/2010/06/in...ng-mode-gyaru/

Some years ago I would have said, no, Kuu doesn't fit that style thaaaat much, but with her more mature and classy style she did recently I can totally see that now.

emiko is ignoring my post!
*sniff*

The moment I read "gyaru" I became worried about how this collaboration will turn out because I really am not a fan of gyaru fashion like, at all, to be honest. D: Oh well, I still put my trust in Kuu because she can make everything look absolutely gorgeus.

Kuu already is pretty Gyaru since her secret album. XD
She has a lot of Gyaru fans and it's so wide spred in fashion styles, I'm sure you would find something you like.

Gyaru love Kuu, like, hardcore. She is really popular with AV gyaru I've always seen Kuu as gyaru, pretty much. Even before her secret days, her music was lite R&B, which is super popular with gals.

I always thought Kuu to be very Gyaru and popular with Gyaru, too. Especially since her secret times. Even Ayu is very Gyaru at some points. Kuu does all the Gyaru stuff, from the fake tan to the high fashion. Ayu tends to do more Gyaru make-up though, with the large eyes and fish lips.

I think some people get confused, and think Gyaru is more this type of fashion:
http://thefashioncafe.blogspot.com/2...ow-us-how.html

When normal Gyaru isn't actually that extreme, it focus's more on high fashion. The fashion as displayed in that blog is called 'Yamaba' Gyaru, the most extreme fashion of Gyaru. Sifow used to be a more extreme type of Gyaru, and then she toned it down a bit to like how Kuu wears.

I really like Gyaru fashion, hahaha. Tsubasa Masuwaka is a famous Gyaru icon, too.

I should include a current picture of gyaru too, otherwise some people won't know what it looks like!! Even the girl from the picture no longer looks like that. She looks waaay different: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TyXLOanuE0...aewantanbe.jpg
There are many kinds of gyaru, so its hard to pin point what kind Kuu is. I would say Onee-gyaru, personally.

More to the Kuu topic: I am just super excited for Love Me Back. I will start really going crazy for the album once I get this single, because I really wanna hear Say Her Name.

You're right! Sorry I should have posted some examples of what I was talking about for people to understand, thanks. And perfect example and description, Emiko!

I don't see Kuu as a gyaru girl at all to be honest but it's a matter of taste.

Final day of Dejavu Tour today!

Before the live started Kuu is speaking again with the audience:


Her staff welcomed her personally at the entrance today:


Yesterday and today her staff filled the dressing room with messages and photos from fans from the last 59 tour dates:
Here that thing is 55 m long!


And a big book was filled as well:



Those are photos from last week at Iwate:



Everything from the Dejavu Tour Blog.

Thank God this tour finally has ended.

I don't really care about this whole fashion collaboration, even I like gyarus and stuffs. xD

Edit~

I saw this in a blog:

Quote:
アルバムは後2曲でレコーディングが終わる

新曲が7~8曲。

PV完成した。見たい?

11月30日発売「Love Me Back」 のミュージックビデオ

 ※フジテレビ火曜9時ドラマ「謎解きはディナーのあとで」オープニングテーマ

Source; http://ameblo.jp/zackey/entry-11060134151.html
It's about the album, If I'm not wrong.
