Yup. x_x

It's a best of album, not a single collection...

[Miduhyo]

I'm very excited about her 3 BEST coming out. The pictures are cuuuute! but it reminds me of second session... haha but they're still really really cute! I can't wait for it.

Also. Her threads go so fast here!!! haha we have a couple at the other sites i'm at for Koda and she's nowhere near 99 there so i'm damned impressed! haha. Hopefully 100 before 2010!

And the Hashire! PV was really nice too...

Alive is GORGEOUS and probably one of my favorite PV's from her. I didn't even notice it got cut, LAME.

[emi♡]

Doesn't seem like Driving was ever that popular, was it?

I don't like that she cut Alive either...I think it's one of her best PVs...

@cutie: I agree! I'm really excited to see what direction she takes the tour in. And I too hope she gives up the medley crap...and also the not-having-choreography thing...at least for TABOO.

And she better not ignore Alive for the tour lol

[Maemi]

Now, I really like Alive, it's relaxing and it's not boring anymore like some Kuu's ballads. And its PV is very beautiful ^^

[PrincessAyu]

hmm I didn't notice Alive wasn't included. I also think Driving should be included, it's great! Tho it's included on the mix album and on Trick, I think they don't wanna over-do it maybe and put it on this new best album as well? ... maybe :s

Alive is a really good song for me to listen to while falling asleep... not because it's boring but because it's really relaxing and it has a lovely melody. KUMI's vocals sound so nice in it, too.

it is short and sweet and nice.
I really don't like Driving so I don't really care that it's not there. The whole TRICK album except for Driving has grown on me lol.

if you can't find something, i can probably scan it for you! i have most of her discography after BEST ~first things~ so i could help you if you need things after that, but before i'm afraid i can't help

[OogoeDiamond]

I am just going to make myself a long journey thru all of Koda realeses and I just want to watch the scans. But thanks for help Ł=

I think it's kind of funny that people are complaining that the album is full of singles. @_@ Of course it is, in Japan, best of = singles collection. It doesn't matter what you call it. That's just how it works there. XD

I've seen very few "best ofs" that weren't merely a singles collection. In fact, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is A BEST 2 since that had a lot of album tracks.

[do it again]

it'd be really hard for an album track to really become a HIT since the songs on singles are the ones with the most promotion, whether it be live peformances or the promotional video. they're the songs that are mostly known even if you don't purchase the album.

Kuu's comments on the website about the album

From google translator -

Cover photo is the "best two" and the same photographer at the same time and same place shooting jackets shooting four years. Koda Kumi has long hair cut, the best two in the same place looking at the album, set it.
She also had 20 in the late teens and early twenties, and bigger refrigerators, and coffee or changed from drinking milk that suggests changes in four years.

So Leslie Kee did the shots again?
I wonder how the inside booklet is going to be like. Maybe she'll have 2 and then UNIVERSE can have its own concept?

[do it again]

it will be really cool if they do what they did for Cherry Girl / Unmei and each side will have a separate cover... Cherry Girl side was the weird like... collage of the scenes and then the other side was KUMI in a kimono. it would be awesome if they could do different things for the BEST and then for UNIVERSE.

[KarenPang]

I just realised that no 1 commented about faraway being cut off from UNIVERSE & the DVD tracklist o_O

pity I was hoping to see it on the tracklist T_T

cuteeee!!! I love her current hairstyle!

[love in music]

I don't get what color her hair is.. wasn't it just blonde the other day? Is it still blonde and just the lighting is making it look darker?
