Oh, wow, Kuu was a trendsetter here!

The power of the Kuueen

(this made me remember her purple hair that lasted for a couple of days, still wonder if that was a video or something)

[roxaskh2fm]

Loved NEVER ENOUGH. Beautiful ballad.

I think that in the album she'll give us a new version of the PV too... "normal version" sounds suspicious XD

[Corvina]

The tour is still at #1 for DVDs.

[ShiniTakashi]

You guys had me thinking "NEVER ENOUGH" was going to be horrible, but I enjoyed it quite a bit!

[Corvina]

W FACE Tour remains on #1.
That W FACE Tour setlist album is surprisingly charting on the Swedish iTunes chart ( highest I've seen was #18).
And it's also charting within the top 50 on recochoku.
Just as Winter of Love and BEST ~third universe~ do for the whole week already.

Thank you for the lyrics translation, Corvina. Lyrics made me love the song even more. It's actually my top played song from this project, poor HUSH had to move over to the #2 spot. I knew she was going to make up for those lyrics for LIT & HUSH with NEVER ENOUGH. Her ballads always have stronger lyrics, especially in the last few years.

[sitara]

somebody please explain the yume no Uta ban?
wouldn't ai no uta have the same problem if there was a plagiarism case?

[thinkingoutloud89]

^whut? yume no uta plagiarized two songs by two different artist, one of which is aiko who is pretty huge. I think it came to light years after and I don't think it was that big of a deal, but fans do think Kumi is avoiding the song (apart from concerts) for that reason

[Zeke.]

Omg this discussion about Yume no Uta has come up like 50 times now.

Did any of the trilogy singles chart, I wonder.

Chart where?
They're limited singles, so they don't count towards Oricon or any other physical chart.

[ALfromHELLSING]

mu-mo's weekly / daily ranking is the only place where any of 3 singles could have "charted". I just checked and NEVER ENOUGH doesn't appear even in the weekly physical ranking, even though it came out less than a week ago. It is, however, at #7 ringtones daily & at #3 ringtones weekly. The full version is also at #7 weekly.

Thanks so much. I missed the part about the trilogy being limited. but at least we know never enough is a good ringtone. Lol

[Corvina]

W FACE Tour charted at #2 weekly for DVD with 9,627 copies sold and #7 for Blu-Rays with 2,899 copies sold.
So12,526 altogether so far.

The Taiwan Fanpage on facebook uploaded the whole tour rip plus Documentary on youtube:

What can she do to become popular again?

[maze]

^not even kuu cares about that it seems. lol she was big already she is established and has a lovely family. I don't think anyone can ask for more, unless you are ambitious b/tch

I am just praying for a new album in 2018. I need more kuu. I only liked Hush and Never Enough is slowly growing on me. but I need her to be more 'colorful' as she used to, stop the black & white mess girl your are hot and amazing af. go back to the over-the-top image @o@

[Gustavopc]

I think she'd need to reinvent her style into something more mainstream and I don't feel like that's what she's looking for lol, as maze already stated.

[Baco__]

I didn't know the Yume no Uta ban (nor it was plagiarizing another song lol). Thanks for the info haha

First step: TO WANT to be popular again. It doesn't seem to be the case of Kumi... or Ayumi. They're both just doing whatever they want.
