So it is Guess Who Is Back, unless the album will have another one.
Guess it was so hard, cause she had to match, what the animation studio, Studio Pierrot, wanted for the opening from her.

I had a suspicion it was this track! It sounds different than her other rock songs.

Ugh, when I saw that fanny pack as part of the goods I thought "....really, kuu?" but then today I saw a couple people wearing some. I guess they are coming into style now? She always pays attention to the trends with her goods.

Yeah, by some miracle fannypacks are a thing now. I dunno about elsewhere in the world, but here people wear them across their chests?? I dunno.

yeah it's a trend now. here in Brazil it's very popular as well. it was tacky before but now it's a thing

[Corvina]

Fanny packs?
You guys mean bum bags?
They're trendy now?
Here in Germany they always are part of the culture.
You can always see them worn by someone, mostly by older people or athlets.
Can't say I'd see them as trendy here.
But I also don't see Kuu having one as goods as something tacky.

I have little confidence - that's partially why I dance with my eyes closed; to block out external visual stimili/disctractions and concentrate only on becoming one with the music.

From Kuu's Insta from yesterday.





Kuu has completely finished DNA now.
She says it was a long way and there was the problem of too many songs (genres) to choose from. There are a lot of different songs on the album and it is her most genreless album so far. She wants everybody to get the final result fastly.

I guess, she means that here in the sense, that she did so many songs/genres and still wants to do others in her career and that's who she is, what she likes, so it was hard to come up with it and narrow it down. 推し曲 means "proposed songs", but also has the notion of "favourite songs".

She shares parts of HAIRCUT lyrics here.
Getting a haircut "with the scissors of new possibilities". Nice.

here in brazil it was only old people and "tacky" people who used it, now with techno culture and parties being more common they introduced them as a trend and now every ~edgy~ person uses it lol

[Xianghua]

Yeah in the usa they were seen as an embarrassing tourist accessory years ago I still don't like them, lol. I like the design kuu created, though. She always has the best designs.

[Gustavopc]

I just noticed Kuu will perform on her borthday again this year and as this had been hinted in PARTY PV (in those tickets, iirc Corvina pointed it out), wonder if that concert in specific will have something different

[ALfromHELLSING]

I hope that the new epic masterpiece ballad is Koishikute part 2. I love her recent ballads about life with meaningful lyrics but it would be nice to get a traditional cellphone love ballad for a change.

Love the new goods as well. I'm the opposite, I'm very happy that the shirt is black. I don't like bright and flashy colours so I'm glad that most of her goods are usually black. Black is a unisex colour, always in trend and you just can't go wrong with black. If most of her goods were pink like Ayu's I wouldn't buy anything. lol

[KarenPang]

Based on what I saw in the previous thread , it looks like a fanny pack to me but others might say it in a different name but it means the same thing

Same thing with calling items different names due within different countries' context but they're the same thing at the end of the day

Like example

Eggplant , aubergine , brinjal
Okra , lady's fingers
Coriander , cilantro

Also I agree , black or white are safe neutral colours that will not go wrong . I don't like pink anyway so haha

If Kuu would do pink, I wouldn't buy it as well, cause I hate pink.
I do like black as well, but that's the usual colour for most (tour) stuff. So I love it, when we have some colour.
In fact, that's what I love with Kuu, cause she's regularly having coloured goods. In the past, we always had the black FC shirt and a coloured theme shirt for every tour.

We will see.
But her birthday date is one of several dates, which is marked as popular in the right now ongoing 2nd FC lottery, so having obly a small chance of winning tickets.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it being special. As well as the Christmas date.

In Australia we call it a "bumbag". No one wears them, they're super duper daggy/uncool and I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one haha

Ai no Uta is a monster. haha

About spotify count, How does it work? Because there are many Ai no Uta's Uploads from different albuns (single ai no uta, kingdom, best third universe, even the setlist with studio versions to W face tour)

So they put together all these versions and count them or each one has different counts???

[kaled kalil]

Yes, as long as it's the same song, they all count together. There are some exceptions, like songs that has some differences: for example LIT, which the single is different from the album (just the random noise at the end), so they count as two separate songs.
