I know, but I mean as if they just played it once like a special or it's really getting a lot of spins.

[Ayu_Love]

^Ah, 'IS THIS TRAP' might be an A-side then, if it's getting played on the radio. But like you said, I suppose it depends how many times it's being played? It could have been a special 'one play' thing, like you said. (I have no idea how radio works LOL)

[ILoveGeniuses]

But being a b-side doesnt determine if it gets on album or not... especially with Kuu. "Hashire!" had a PV and was totally awesome but it never made its way onto an album or compilation album either.

^ Not to mention Run For Your Life and futari de... Plus, she has a few songs like girls which had no PV but got a good amount of promotion

Odd thing about RFYL though is the PV was on Kingdom but not the song itself...

That might've been because after the single came out and Kuu's management was deciding what to do with the upcoming album, they decided to give every song a PV. That can happen with her next album and I hope it does because JAPONESQUE's PVs were pretty high production

[happiholic★]

I think when she releases the multi a-side singles she leaves some of the songs off the album to make room for new material. When choosing songs, they probably take into consideration fan reaction to songs. I don't remember Hashire! being that popular, or Run For Your Life, for that matter. However, Girls seems to be a fan-favorite, kinda like Walk, where it had no promotion, but people latched onto it.

[ayu_ready?]

do you guys think Kuu should make her own label and record there, just like Namie did with her last album FEEL??

Nah, she's already in a small label. I just wish they'd promote her more.

Well, perhaps before it might have been a good idea, but since Japonesque and Color the Cover are both really well done projects, in terms of budget, maybe (and I underline maybe) avex just started to take her seriously again after a while and we'll see more amazing stuff soon enough.

If she releases an album like FEEL, then no.

If she releases a song like Alive, then maybe...

[Gustavopc]

If she's gonna change her style or something in that way, I dont see a reason for moving from RZ

[emi♡]

half the album can be like FEEL...the rest have to be koda hybrids.

[brener]

2 more weeks to go and still looks so far... '-'

[jiarongisme]

^ Not to mention the number of promotions this single has had so far... Which is close to... Zero.

[Minttulatte]

^There has been one live performance actually. She sang LaLaLaLaLa and Cutie Honey. Too bad that it was uploaded on that stupid website that always hates me so I couldn't see it tho.

I just realized how much I want a new album already omg. It feels like it's been forever since JAPONESQUE was out. I guess I'm just not used to this waiting haha. XD

[jiarongisme]

^ Yeah I know. That's why I said close to.

It was that and the performances during the last few shows of JAPONESQUE tour + some radio plays. I can't really remember if EDGE STYLE was for Summer Trip but that was all the promotion for the single so far. Not a lot.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^^Color The Cover was sorta a new album. I dunno, but those "cover" CDs always feel like new albums to me. I guess cause I'm not familiar with the artists or songs she covers for CTC and Eternity L&S.
