I actually never heard of Venus before prior to a-nation -_-

I wonder will she turn it to a full/new song or something

Ugh. Yes, "Venus" was originally done by a group called "The Shocking Blue" in the 1970s. It's a pretty popular song still. I hear it around all the time, especially since Gillette started using it for their razors. So, it's not "her" song. She would be doing a cover of it or a remake or something, but I really hope she doesn't. I don't want to hear more butchered Engrish!

GRACE · #**322** 28th July 2008, 06:46 AM

^The commercial only English was the whole "I'm your Venus" part and then she started singing in Japanese. So maybe she's covering it in Japanese.

As long as it's not an A-side, I don't care if she covers it or not~

KarenPang · #**323** 28th July 2008, 08:33 AM

oh I didn't realise that Venus's a cover by right & yes I hope no more Eng covers/songs please

She practicaly mangled TWINKLE with Show Luo & even though she did an Eng solo take of the song on BC , it's still bad

I still like it if she sings in Japanese . I don't mind if she does Eng tunes PROVIDED if her dictation will be better & etc .

You know crab = clap , you get the drift lol

The tracklist of the DVD -> http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...37#post1557937

Okay, thank you.
Well, i can't say I'm excited though but there are a lot of September releases. I'm not gonna buy the tour. I prefer to spend my money on Ayu's 3CD+DVD Anniversary thing. Though my parents probably won't lemme buy it. *sob sob*

J/K. I'm glad FREAKY is in but I hate girls. She has a lot of songs though. To bad stupid Avex won't include them all in the DVD. They better include Lady Go!

well you're not the only 1 who's really that excited for the Kingdom DVD .

I'm as well & I know so many new releases hitting in Sept , it's not even funny to begin with

at most I just wait for Warner SG to bring in the OS press of it unlike Koda's 1st 4 concert DVDS where I ordered them online via HMV HK but this time I'm not willing to

AyuHamasaki01 · #**326** 28th July 2008, 02:15 PM

Avex is killing us by sucking up our money.

Anyone has pic of Kuu's A-Nation performance? I'm dying to see what she wore.

howtousesexy · #**327** 28th July 2008, 02:31 PM

Isn't this the A-Nation setlist?

1. Lady Go!
2. Venus
3. Moon Crying
4. Once Again
5. Medley (Crazy4U、Real Emotion、Butterfly、SHAKE IT UP）
6. FREAKY
7. BUT
8. girls

in Sept alone , 3 new releases inclusive of Koda's one's coming from avex which sucks for me

AyuHamasaki01 · #**329** 28th July 2008, 02:36 PM

Oooh, I hope Hyorish' trackinglist (that he stole from HF) is true. I would love it if she performed BUT again. I totally love that song.

me too . I personally feel that BUT's 1 of her best works to date for an upbeat dancey track

EDIT -

has anyone seen last year's calendar cover ?

I never got the chance to find out how it looks like til just now :

Spoiler:

oh my god , beautiful

Zachery! · #**331** 28th July 2008, 06:25 PM

I certainly agree. BUT is a masterpiece in it's genre and everything about that song is seriously top-notch.

Beauty4123 · #**332** 28th July 2008, 07:00 PM

BUT/Aisho was her best single in all of 2007, for me.

#**333** 28th July 2008, 07:13 PM

^I think it's been her best single in a while. It's definitely better than MOON.

Beauty4123 · #**334** 28th July 2008, 07:21 PM

even ai no uta was better than MOON

and FREAKY was 10000x better, too. sorry kumi.

keep this up and you won't be #1 on my last.fm for long! haha.

and maybe you'll die when you'll see her outifts....

BUT/Aisho was definitly an AWESOME single
her #1 2007 single, I do agree with that

It would be really great if she was coming back with singles like that, that would be like ''amazing''

,cause MOON was good but, not her best ever

Celaphorce · #**337** 29th July 2008, 09:26 AM

Okay what is...Venus?, Are there covers for the rushed released of Kingdom's tour?, and are there any pics of her performance at avex's best A+Nation EVER?!

Otay...I didn't know what it was at first, and had too much excitement from seeing the name Venus in the tracklist that I thought she was going to release an awesome single after Moon.

Cloudsoldier · #**340** 29th July 2008, 10:41 AM

i managed to finish download the 2GB version of Kingdom tour TV version. haha it was great.

I must say Kuu's getting more and more lazy in singing for some parts.

The First segment was exciting.

I love the ballads segment. Very beautiful.

Cute sections were fun.

But it still fail to defeat the unbeatable Black Cherry Tokyo Dome.

here are the youtube versions of all the songs aired in the TV versions.
