This is getting confusing... Most say 2/1, but HMV says 1/25...

[tenshi no hane]

I wonder what version I should get. I'd usually buy the CD+DVD one, but the CD+photobook is also interesting..

edit: nevermind, the limited version seems to already be sold out ;_;

●No Mans Land　※new

Kumi, y u no like apostrophes? XD => No Man's Land

[rusuke]

OMG! Kumi is really doing a great era now! Amazing MAMA performance although I don't like the black dress but hell, She nailed all of them!

The covers of her new album especially the CD+2DVD and the limited edition are LOVED! I'll gonna get this in the future. But I wish that the songs are good. I haven't heard some of the previews but I like Ai wo tomenaide. But her sexy songs are just so-so. Not so much fan of her aggressive stuffs.

I'm sorry Ayu but Kuu rocks her 10th album release! Superb!

[TITANIC]

OMFG. these covers are the best ever, Kuu. Ayu flown away. hahhhh I will definitely buy them eventho I dont like all the singles I just love the covers. I sound like moron but who cares.

[freedreamer]

earlier the better!!!!
and is there even a word called JAPONESQUE??
I did a search on that and lol..weird links came up

[tenshi no hane]

^ Japonesque is French for Japonism (= a general term for the influence of Japanese arts on Western arts).

[Corvina]

OH MY GOD!
What fantastic covers! Great title!
17 songs and 17 PVs!
I'm in Kuu heaven, literally!

Call me mad, but I'll going to preorder all editions like usually. Kuu is the only artist I fully support - and I mean full.
With all that stuff it's worth for me!

Edit:
Ok, preordered all 4 editions, sooo happy now! :3

ebay is your place
this album is after all a MUST BUY! we have to support her to keep good job in that way (no more dejavu's please...)

[kaled kalil]

There is no singer / group (popular) releasing album on 01.25, which is good since they probably wants her to get the Oricon #1.

that would made me happy as well, I always buy one version but I like it to be complete, so if there's a cd + 2dvd version then I'd like to buy it, if there's some edition with photobook then I won't buy regular until i find the one with photobook, etc, but I don't like the cover and don't care that much about best dvd so I'll get cheaper cd + dvd with pretty cover

I just came back from work and checked yesasia, the LE version is already sold out, wow!

and looking back on Dejavu... was it really THAT "slam-dunk"...?

Once again, I will set my expectations low and hope I am proved wrong.

You're cool and I appreciate your posts a lot and I'm not trying to rag on you, but dude, you say this for every release of every artist of every release of every artist of every release of every artist.

Lol, you are right. I was actually thinking the same thing as I typed that post - "I say this all the time I wonder if anyone notices" - haha. But I mean especially in the Kumi thread, it's like, overload on the hype. Everyone has the right to get excited, but for me it's just annoying because the more excitement surrounding the release, and the more people that build it up and assume it's going to be fantastic, the harder it is to accept the release once it just turns out just "OK". The same could be said about every upcoming album and the majority of people that claim that this album is going to be THE BEST every single time. Lol.

But alas, I do say this but the reactions in the Kumi thread are just insane. Lol. I just wish people would just chill and say "Oh wow, new album! Awesome! I will look forward to this release!" instead of throwing out predictions and building everything up based off their own ideas and/or subtleties.

[do it again]

If I convince myself that it will be the best album ever, then even the worst songs will sound good!!

OMG PERFGORG QUEEN NEW ALBUM OF THE DECADE!!!!
