I liked the album, it's not the best, but it's a good album at all.
1. Prologue to Dejavu 4/5 - (I really love the intro but I cant see a full version for this) 2. POP DIVA 5/5 3. Lollipop 5/5 4. Okay 4/5 5. 逢いたくて 4/5 - (Totally surprise to me, I didn't liked at P3DMS but studio version is really good) 6. Passing By 1/5 - (I dont like the male voice, I hate he screaming at the end) 7. AT THE WEEKEND 3/5 - (It's a good song but I didn't liked the change "I don't want your love / I don't need your love". And lacked fierceness in the vocals, to me :~~) 8. Interlude to Dejavu 4/5 9. Melting 4/5 10. Hey baby! 10/5 ![]() 11. ちょい足しLife 2.5/5 - (Too WIND / Comes up to me) 12. あなただけが 5/5 13. 好きで、好きで、好きで。 5/5 14. Bambi 4/5 15. I Don't Love You !?? 5/5 - (I really enjoy this one, but It's not a good way to end an album)

After first listen this album doesn't leave me a good impression... up-beat tracks are weak, cutesy tracks are weak, singles blew new songs out of the water. At least there's Hey baby!...
Maybe it'll be a grower... Let's see. Does anyone have audio rip of Aitakute from Panasonic Live? Audio version from Dejavu is completely bland and ruined the song for me. My thoughts exactly. I like demo more.

Aww the Bambi pv link doesn't work for me.. I hope someone uploads it somewhere else along with Passing By!
My review... 01 Prologue to Dejavu - 4/5 - I really like it.. the oh woah's are ♥ and how it leads to POP DIVA 02 POP DIVA - 3/5 - It's grown on me but I prefer the live performances 03 Lollipop - 5/5 - Still love it ♥ 04 Okay - 5/5 - Reaaally love this, it sounds so lovely 05 Aitakute - 5/5 - Sounds sooo beautiful, even better than the Panasonic live 06 Passing By 4.5/5 - REALLY love this too but that guy's voice -_- lol 07 AT THE WEEKEND - 3/5 I prefer the new lyrics but overall the song lacks something to make it awesome like her other dance tracks 08 Interlude to Dejavu - 4/5 - I'm a sucker for the Engrish and OH OH's 09 Melting - 1/5 - I only like the La la la... bit 10 Hey baby! - 5/5 - ♥ ♥ 11 Choitashi Life - 0/5 - Why the heck is she yelling throughout the whole song? & way too repetitive 12 Anata Dake ga - 5/5 - Eargasm all the way 13 Suki de, Suki de, Suki de. - 5/5 - It's grown on me sooo much, love it ♥ 14 Bambi - 5/5 - Loved it from the live, still love it! This is how I like you cutesy Kumi 15 I Don't Love You!? - 4/5 - Reaaally like this! The chorus is awesome Overall - 4/5 I LOVE the ballads on this album, the singles, Hey baby!, Bambi and I Don't Love you!? and they make up for the disliked songs. Didn't top UNIVERSE for me but it will probably grow on me a lot more later. I'm still suprised there's no bonus track of any kind. That's a first ever for her albums I think + OMG the booklet pics look amazing! I can't wait to get mine

from the album tracks that I listen , I can definitely say that I like them so much more than UNIVERSE (which was so meh for me to handle ~_~)
The ballads are solid , Hey baby ! is *__* but it's so short ;__;

My review~
Prologue to Dejavu - umm underwhelming intro. I usually like putting her intros on repeat but this is like.. just meh. 0/10 POP DIVA - I still can't get past the really annoying chorus to this. I'll give it a 5/10 just for the verses. Lollipop - this one has a weak chorus as well but it's still good. I don't feel like listening to it much but it's not bad. 7/10 Okay - One of my favorites!! totally love this. I'll be having it on replay a lot. Kuu really doesn't need all that autotune though 8/10 逢いたくて - Very beautiful and simple ballad. Her vocals are so beautiful here. 9/10 Passing By - I think this would be so much better with only Kuu's vocals. that guy kind of brings it down a bit :/ still, kuu sounds beautiful here. there's a lot of engrish but it's not bothersome in this track. 8/10 AT THE WEEK END - This should have been a single instead of POP DIVA, it's soo much better and stronger <3 SO HOT. 10/10 Interlude to Dejavu - seriously kuu, if you're going to have interludes like this then just don't bother. 0/10 Melting - It reminds me of her older fun cute songs like girls. I love the chorus. it loses points because of that kissy noise though lol. 7/10 Hey baby! - I was so disappointed this song wound up being so short ![]() ちょい足しLife - This too reminds me of her older cute songs that didn't used to go overboard with their cuteness to the point where it made me cringe. I really like this. 8/10 あなただけが - Her vocals are so beautiful here. I really like this ballad! 8/10 好きで、好きで、好きで。- I'm tired of this ballad. It's too repetitive to me. I never really want to listen to it. At least her vocals are nice though. 6/10 Bambi - Worst on the album, and just became my least favorite kuu song. Her voice does not suit this and it's super annoying. 0/10 I Don't Love You !? - So catchy & fun. I really like this! 9/10 Not sure what I'd rate the album as a whole..but I'll just say I love over half of the album and I haven't been able to say that about one of her albums since Kingdom. It's definitely on a whole other level than TRICK & UNIVERSE and I'm really happy about that. It's not perfect, but I think the amazing songs (like Aitakute, ATW, IDLY) make up for the bad ones (Bambi, POP DIVA). nice job kuu~ |

I really love Dejavu. <3
Prologue to Dejavu Surprising, because it was so different. I was hoping something like Step Into My World, INTRODUCTION FOR TRICK and INTRODUCTION are but this was very epic after the first shock. But I like the difference anyway quite a alot. I love the ending very much because it's like a intro to POP DIVA. 9/10 POP DIVA Everyone knows I love this song like many others too. This song is a perfect way to start an album. Honestly, it's catchy, awesome. I enjoy listening to it. 10/10 Lollipop At first I thought this doesn't work perfectly, but now that I listened to it, I realized it's good as the third track on the album. And everyone knows I love this song very much ever since I heard it on Gossip Candy, right? So I'm not saying anything else. 10/10 Okay That LQ radio rip whatever it was didn't do any justice for this song. When this started, I totally fell in love with it. I really love songs like this from Kuu. Awesome new song, and I like it how it's calming down the upbeat hype that I got from POP DIVA and Lollipop. Okay is more calmer. ![]() Aitakute I have loved this song from the day I heard the live version. So far it's Dejavu's most played new song, and I can't even express in words how much I love this R&B love song. I'm into Kuu R&B. 10/10 Passing By Surprised me a bit lol. ![]() AT THE WEEKEND Sounds like TABOO to me, and is very hot to me. I love her lower vocals on this, sounds so hot~ 10/10 Interlude to Dejavu She didn't sing that much on this. I thought she's sing more. Oh well, at least it flows perfectly from AT THE WEEKEND to Melting. 9/10 Melting I loved this song the moment I heard it's live version from Panasonic 3D Live. Upbeat pop that makes me feel so much better whenever I hear it. 10/10 Hey Baby! It's so short. ![]() Choitashi Life Sounded different to my ears. It did bring blue skies to my mind for some reason. Maybe it was the music itself. It was like I could listen to it when being on a airplane flying somewhere. o.O Oh well, very good song anyway. 10/10 Anata dake ga ![]() Suki de, suki de, suki de ![]() ![]() ![]() Bambi I love this as well. Different, country vibe song that makes me wanna jump all around the walls. I can't wait for her to sing this on Dejavu Tour. <3 10/10 I Don't Love You !?? This song is very good closing track for this album. 10/10 Summary Stand outs: Passing by, AT THE WEEKEND, Choitashi Life, Bambi, Hey baby! Also, this album could be her best since Black Cherry and Kingdom imo, because I haven't been waiting for a Kuu album so desperately for years. ![]() Interlude and the Prologue gives me an movie feeling for some reason, and thus they are both epic. So I'd say it's simply 10/10 for Dejavu from me. <3 I sound like a fangirl. <3 |

Um..... Is it just me or is the beginning of the Intro a complete rip off of Pendulum's Genesis?! I absolutely adore Pendulum so this kinds of really pisses me off if they didn't get proper credit...

~Review~
1. Prologue to Dejavu - Pendulum rip off. Hopefully they got rights to the melody at the beginning, I doubt it, though. I won't get into it, but Genesis is better in my opinon. 2. POP DIVA - I didn't really like the full song when it came out but... I mean it's not so bad, a major grower. It's hard to get over that chorus though, sounded better in low-quality believe it or not xD; 3. Lollipop - still my favorite of the summer songs <3 Still touchin' booties and gotta party~ 4. Okay - Really great! I absolutely love it. It's the kind of R&B I like from her. Very well done. 5. Aitakute - Yet another song that reminds me of another song, Dilemma anyone? I mean it's subtle but I can't help but sing Dilemma lyrics when I hear the chorus... Between the prologue and this, pretty disappointed. But the song itself is really nice. Very chill. 6. Passing by - Really really really really amazing. My favorite so far! It sounds like something you'd hear on American radio but that doesn't really bother me so much since it's actually better lol. 7. AT THE WEEK END - Effing HOT!!! I DON'T WANNA LOOK AT THE WEEK END~~~~~ 8. Interlude to Dejavu - RIP OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! lil' showy you *******! 9. Melting - Cuteness~ I don't know why some people don't like this song to be honest... MUCH better than Lick Me. Very old-school Kumi cuteness which I adore to be honest. Love love love this song. But I don't understand why it's after that interlude...? 10. Hey Baby! - Should have been after the interlude? Oh well, perfection. I don't need to tell you all that xD; 11. Choi Tashi Life - I like this song a lot. Old-school just like melting <3. Kumi please stick to thisssssssssss. 12. Anata dake ga - Still my least favorite of the Suki de x3 single, but it really shines here. It's just unfortunate it's before Suki de because that makes it highly subseptable to being skipped since Suki de is my most favorite xD; 13. Suki de - Beautiful, flawless, grand, perfection, smash-hit, best Kumi song of 2010 etc. etc. 14. Bambi - Y'all crazy, I love me some bambi xD;;; Should have came after Choi Tashi Life though~ I love love love love this song. The studio version sounds a little cheap at times, but I think it adds to the essence of the song. It's just pure fun. 15. I Don't Love You!? - Great! I like this song a lot. It reminds me of another Kumi song... But I can't put my finger on it. Overall - dispite the disappointing rip-offs, this album is A MILLION BILLION BAJILLION AND INFINITY times better than TRICK and UNIVERSE. It's everything I wanted from Kuu and more. I have to admit, I was super worried she'd let me down but this is definitely a GIANT step in the right direction. I already love this album after one listen. I'm just going to skip the intro and interlude <______< Or put Pendulum in it's place! ![]() |

I have the same opinion on this album as on Ayu's Love songs. It' snot her best album, but it's really Amazing J-Pop album and I love it.
Bambi PV - cuteness overdose! Hilarious PV!
