I like NEVER ENOUGH. It's not really a "grand ballad", but the lyrics are great.

Those shots are great.

Love the purple light on her face

I'm really curious to try circle lenses, but I have astigmatism...
Anyone have any experience with that? Lol

Well... I have myopia and astigmatism but I wear contact lenses and circle lenses (sometimes) and I don't have any ache or trouble. Obviously you have to take certain precautions and take care of the lenses (you know, hygiene above all).

And yes, the shot is great. In the last Koda Gumi magazine there's a back of the shot (sorry xD I don't remember right now the word for it XD) and I was in love with the first look *_* Kuu is always gorgeous

I really like the 'Violet glare'

[KarenPang]

Kuu looks fantastic in the latest photos in promoting loveil

My sister's friend said that she gave a shot in wearing loveil but unfortunately she said that they were not comfortable for her

So she switched to another brand , I forgot which 1 though

Everyone in my family wear glasses . Given a choice if somewhere down the line if I decide not to wear glasses anymore than I will go for Lasik

loveil wallpapers I managed to get from official site

Spoiler:

The 2nd & 3rd photos are my favourite

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I believe we saw Kuu in the black shirt around December-January before AND was released. Interesting how far in advance they shot this, I always wondered what it was for since it wasnt for AND lol. Makes you think if she already did the covers for DNA.

[Corvina]

In the press statement on her official site it says that the Loveil products sold over 90 million times now. That's impressive.

Thanks, Karen!
Gonna use my favourite one as my new phone background.

Btw. as I love the Tower of Terror shirt so much Kuu was wearing in Hiroshima last weekend, I've searched for it.
It's indeed a vintage one from 1994 and it glows in the dark as well.






Needless to say it's a rare item and only available second-hand.

They must mean 9 million. Considering Japan's population I doubt they even have 90 million women lol.

No, 90 million contactlenses/packages sold.
Not consumers.
Most of Kuu's lenses are 1 day lenses after all.

The line was launched in 2012.
So that means more than 10 million sold every year.
Holy moly.
Such waste.

And the company says” holy moly such profit” . All jokes aside, I wouldn’t buy it. One day lense, no way.

^One day lenses are not uncommon and probably very cheap. these are no sight lenses, they are colored-ones to accompany a look. Colored-lenses usually don't last much longer.

[Corvina]

Kuu's lenses are in the middle price range like pretty much all of her products (and they're circle lenses, not simple coloured contacts).
If you break it down, one contactlense is about 180 Yen, that's about 1.40 €/1.7 US$.
Three of the colours are also available as monthly lenses and you can also choose them with sight correction.
It all comes down to hygiene though, day lenses are better for that generally.

Well, I'm just happy for her, that whatever she chooses to produce outside of her music gets successful.
She is kind of a role model to me, how she was able to broaden her own brand and venture into the buisness market.

^Are those lenses female use only?

Since when were contact lenses sex-specific?

That’s not bad at all, I’m glad she’s got some monthy lenses available. I would be really sad if one day lenses was all of it. I mean those colors are too beautiful for one day.

Colored lenses I hear last up to 3 months I think, but expensive.

I've only seen girls blogging their experiences wearing Kumi's lenses, so I thought they were specifically design to women, or a female line. I really don't know, I never wore aesthetic lenses or regular ones...

[thinkingoutloud89]

^as for Japan: i bet they have specific lenses for men - of course there will be no difference tho

Sendai, Miyagi



























Next week, Tokyo, which is most likely going to be recorded for the Zepps.
