What is jpc?

I actually don't find the interludes bad. Just typical awkward English you hear in most Asian music.

I'm pretty sure kuu has many times before give newly released singles or DVDs to people she meets, such as she gave Minzy from 2NE1 a concert DVD of hers when they first met backstage at a Japanese show. I think she just likes to share her product with people, and if they haven't really listened to her before it would make sense that she would ask them to giver her a listen and see if they like her music.

Just downloaded Summer Trip and i'm so looking forward to listening to the songs in HQ!

She's so adorable. I can't even.

The interludes have a nice idea, but I dont like them all overall

The songs sound incredible in HQ, I now find LALALALALA even better

There are some booklet photos on KK French Fans Page @ FB, and they are HAWT as hell

Here is the pic the.guy posted on his blog about kumi

I still think its legit because the guys shirt in.the background is a fitness shirt

I'm too audiophile to have had the PV and radio rips of the songs on my iTunes library so now I'm finally glad it leaked so I can enjoy it

I might like this as much as 4 TIMES

Tbh, I don't mind the interludes, but they could have done a better job with them Maybe making them more "radio like", like it was a real radio program, the guy just sounds too fake too me, too emphatic. But they're nice enough, and the single is a bomb for summer (and listening to it along with FEEL is an amazing experience!)
I'm so in love with TOUCHDOWN, and Lalalalala makes me so happy, it's so uplifting I just can't. IS THIS TRAP? is really good too. Hot covers, pretty songs, very nice ideas, not too bad PVs: overall, a great single for Kuu!

I feel the same way about the files. I've only listened to the previews until now.

And I actually like this single A LOT more than 4 TIMES. Like a whole lot more.

[Gustavopc]

I was wondering if Radio Show End is a tip on how her next single will sound like... Hopefully it does

[Dream]

The instrumental on the interludes is actually pretty nice, pitty that guy had to be saying those random awkward stuff.

btw anyone knows kuu's height?

[Delicious n Bold]

Now loving IS THIS TRAP?
The ninki has come out apparently and the single is 6th.

Apparently it'll sell less than Koishikute I hope they're wrong because this is her best single release since 4 TIMES imo

[jiarongisme]

After a handful of listens later, the single is pretty decent. But I still think it's the interludes that made the single bad for me. It's pretty embarrassing to listening to them lol. Like people have said, it's a good idea, but the execution was just dreadful to me.

So why not delete them? I only listened to them once and deleted it after that because I don't need the interludes

Yeah that's what I did after the first time I listened to it.

Obviously I wouldn't force myself to listen to something that I dislike lol.

Gutted I'm gonna do my part for the sales and pre-order both CD and CD+DVD tomorrow though from CDJapan and pray for the best

I agree with the general opinion about the interludes. I think the IS THIS TRAP? one was done well, like I'd like to hear some extra information about each song, but the guy sounded so awkward to listen to I'd rather just had his voice removed because the background music was pretty nice...

Oh, and that back cover is HOT. Is it the same for both editions?

The backcover is awesome. I really love her hairstyle, she looks great with long curly hair.

Judging from her previous singles, it wont be the same one, but a similar pic

Remember that the BEST music always sells like crap. Relative to kumi, the single is good and it deserves to be a gold seller at least.
