same for me
TRICK is my second favorite album after second session, but UNIVERSE will probably take that place and TRICK will become my third favorite one. xD

the covers of TRICK are also way better than Kingdom's imo.
she looks HOT in the CD Only one and.. I LOVE SCARY CLOWNS!!!

omg I love the covers for Kingdom so much. I think they're some of her best. I hated the clown cover for TRICK but the other one was ok.
this whole shoot was great though.. classy, gorgeous, etc.

TRICK covers scare me still but the Kingdom ones are still great

you wouldn't believe that Kazuyoshi Shimoura can do such a good job for them but he does LOL

The TRICK that exists in my head is excellent! (it's just the first half of the tracklist)

and omg I that logo!

Kingdom's artwork owns a lot of artwork...seriously. It was just, masterful.

I'm taking the logo png thanks tsubasa

I also love TRICK as an album, it's one of my favourites.
It's funny, but it seems most "hard" fans of Kumi love TRICK and the more casual listeners don't, that's a thing I notice while being in 3 forums.

Ah and here's a better translation from tenshi_no_hane for Kuu's anniversary message:



Quote:
At the time when our love started,
At the time when our love ended,
You were always by my side.
Thanks again, tenshi, for translating!^^

^ FinalFayth's one is good too though ;D The 'our' in 'our love' is more interpretation since Japanese tend to leave stuff out xD (though she could also be talking about a friend who supported her when she is/was in love)

...I don't wanna wait another month for the album ;_; *wants previews*

I think it's hard to make a good ranking for her albums:

01. Black Cherry
02. Kingdom/ BEST ~second session~/ Feel my Mind
03. TRICK/ secret
04. grow into one
05. affection

it's hard, cause even if grow into one is on the 4th place, it doesn't mean i hate or something!
It's just hard to make a normal ranking with so much good albums! xD
So even TRICK is on the 4th place, i really love it, BUT compared to the other albums i think it's on 3 with secret!

Spoiler:

Her English stuff forever has spelling errors lol.

And I'm not too fond of the 10th Anniversary logo... I mean it's almost the same as the Kingdom logo, which is really pretty, but I was hoping for something completely different lol.

as always Gubsi is an expert in dishing out such pics LOLLLL 8D

anyway over the 10th anniversary logo , it might have been better if the words 'th' weren't overlap , it might make things nicer a bit

i dont think i'll get the love for black cherry ever.
the singles were fantastic (mostly), but it was just a disaster when they put it all together.

my album ranking:

1) BEST~second session~
totally fantastic, one smash single after another. And the couple of new tracks were great as well. fantastic covers and great dvds as well.

2) Kingdom
a little bit more laid back than her other albums surrounding it. very cohesive and mature. i wasnt too fond of the singles at first, but they really pulled the album together. its a great listen.

3) secret
just classic. its a little bit long (with all the bonus tracks and whatnot), but its still a great pop album. it really speaks of what kuu is as an artist.

4) feel my mind
soo underrated! a really fun and strong album with great flow. i love how basic some of the songs are. they dont try to be epic or life changing. its just good, fun music.

6) affection
im honestly not super familiar with this album, but i enjoy the sound of it. its interesting to listen to kuu as a newcomer!

5) grow into one
still, not really familiar with this album either. has some great singles!

6) Black Cherry
awesome and fantastic singles. but they were too all over the place. the album tracks were mild hit and massive miss for me. this album seems to just slam into you and strangle you with loud music from any genre it can find in the hopes that youll lilke something oh-my-god-please-its-soooo-desperate!! SHSYHSETJHSETJUAHJAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

7) Trick
TABOO, Driving, Just the Way You Are.
Everything else is, absolutely terrible.
I have listened to this album soooo many times, trying to like it. Those are the only tracks I can ever actually enjoy. The rest of it feels too processed and over-thought. Shes working on a formula which is now stale. Im actually a little sad that I cant stand this album at all.

For me it's

1. grow into one
2. BEST ~second session~
3. affection
4. secret
5. TRICK
6. Kingdom
7. Black Cherry
8. feel my mind.

With the exclusion of feel my mind which felt fillery but had great singles and some album tracks my favorite albums by kuu are all of the ones until BEST ~ss~ included.
The rest never did it to me like the others but there was a bit of improvement with TRICK and hopefully UNIVERSE will be better. ^^
