Beach Mix CM

that bling bling bling remix

[Earth_maiden]

I'm so happy for Kuuchie... but I wonder if she'll keep doing her ero-kakkoi performances with a newborn baby on the scene. Or even as her child grows older, will she still feel comfortable groping herself or other dancers on stage? I hope she does, I love that side of Kuu, but I just wonder if she'll still keep it in her performances and songs.

I like how Whatchu Waitin On is stuck in my head and I've barely even heard the damn thing.

She has said before that she will keep that side of her.

[Minttulatte]

That Beach Mix CM was awesome for sure. I really loved that small clip of Bling Bling Bling remix already. :3

[x-megumi-x]

Congrats to Kuu and her hubby! I'm glad everything went well and the baby is healthy!

OK so the bling bling bling remix sounds not bad.

Being a kuu fan, and would check for news and listen to her music everyday for years...It feels so weird that she has a child now. Kuu has always been the one who in her songs and out, has talked about wanting to be married and have a family someday...And suddenly, now she has. It's lovely. <3

I'm such a sap and that made me tear up 8ccc Kuu's always been really romantic in her lyrics. I know she doesn't always pen them, but I like to think that she asks for/picks songs that reflect how she herself feels, and she's always had so many songs like that. I can't imagine the kind of stuff that she'll come out with next. I hope she surprises us.

And I know this sounds sappy and potentially horrible but I wouldn't say no to a ballad written about her ~feelings~ becoming a mom. idk How many Japanese pop artists have done that.

[ren'ai]

^actually she writes almost all her romanticy and ballad lyrics herself its more the dancey ones that are sometimes written by others.

But yes i agree! I'd love it to be something like Dear Family again, her lyrics and vocals were so pretty in that

[Beauty4123]

congrats to kumi & kenji on the birth of their baby! i'm really happy for them & wish them all the best for their family!

[love in music]

What they did to bling bling bling is pure talent. It sounds listenable now So excited for the remixes!

[happiholic★]

Honestly, the only reason I can stand Kuu's romantically charged lyrics is because I know that she actually writes them. I can take the overly cheesiness because I know its at least genuine.

[KLJames]

congrats to kuu!

and hope she will perform some of the mix from her beach mix or driving hits series in her upcoming live, like what she did on ECSTASY in her 2010 tour, the only mix i listen more times than the original version.

she already have 5 remix album within 3 years, and seriously most of the mix are not-so-addict-able if compare to the original mix, she need spice up those mix with some performances.

[Bad Wolf]

omg I didn't know she usually penned those ;; Now I feel stupid for assuming otherwise lol. And I was just thinking the other day how lovely "Dear Family" is. I never gave it much attention before (Kuu has so many freakin' b-sides, it's almost overwhelming) but when it came on during my iTunes shuffle it made me pause. So lovely.

[inthezone]

Congrats my queen!
on another note, the TABOO PV is on youtube in full finally

I wouldn't surprise me, to be honest! I also believe kuu has been honest with how she feels in her songs, and now she has basically achieved her dream (to have a loving family) I have a feeling her love songs might change, but become even more about how she feels and loves now, and maybe singing about the love that she has now, compared to many of her songs before which were about wanting love. I kinda get that feeling from her message, too. I don't know, but I can't wait to listen to her next song.

I do love that kuu has sung in a number of her songs (apart from Bling x3 which is the opposite LOL) about wanting simpler things in love and life, and not all that 'bling bling'. LOL Like in the lyrics for 'Slow', where kumi goes

'All the money and cars
Seeing you strain yourself
I don’t need those kinds of things'

And Omarion goes

'I know you like the finer things
You already shine, but imma make you bling
The next thing is dead stock designer coats
Later we'll be chillin' jet skis, yachts and boats'

Fraid you got it wrong there, Omarion.
