[Minttulatte]

Haven't been able to come here too much because I'm too concentrated on writing stuff. XD

Oh yeah, Dejavu Tour DVD cover is gorgeus as hell. I can't even describe in words how much I love that. I love the idea how it has that Dejavu album cover thingy going on there. It's so awesome because I adore Dejavu cover so much. Kuu is just too fierce.

I noticed you were talking about Kuu haters a while ago. I agree with everything you've said. As a Kuu fan though I don't understand why people can hate such a sweet person like Kuu so much. It's a matter of taste of course, but to me Kuu is something that no one should be able to hate. Besides, I don't get it when people hate her because of 2005-2006 image. Seriously, that was like 5-6 YEARS AGO. 8D

I'm not a fan of the cover.. It's nothing that special and I hate the black lipstick.

I have to agree with what everyone has said about the whole kuu being hated thing. The younger generation in japan all love her. She's always cheered when she goes to concerts, even more so recently, and her concerts are always sold out. Ai wo tomenaide was #1 digitally for ages, and sold well digitally, and then love me back actually sold more physical copies than Ai wo tomenaide, and did well digitally.

I have seen some fans on FB go 'oh she's going to sell low because of the whole pregantcy and marriage', but personally I thought the whole thing would actually boost her sales. People love it in japan when someone gets married, and she is all over the news at the moment. And JAPONESQUE has a lot to offer, the most to offer since Kingdom, so I think it should well. I think it should definately sell well over 200k, I'd be very surprised if it didn't.
And I don't think her image can be that hated, considering her Secret live tour 2005 (first tour) was the best selling concert DVD ever to date, only just been taken over by AKB8 by a small 1000 sales this year. I think it's just the older generation that scorn it.

Also, Dejavu Tour was AMAZING! I was blown away. I loved all of it, by far her most fierce and best performance to date. Her singing for the ballads were excellent, she lit the hall on fire with her voice. I have never seen her perform so well! And that's saying something! I loved this tour, it was so much better than i expected. She was epic! Can't wait to see it in full.

Need JAPONESQUE previews nao.

[maze]

holy ****! she looks so fierce. love it even more than the Trick Tour covers. I just love that outfit and make-up, and the album theme going on. buying it for sure.

thanks for the HQ covers, kaled

[Benikari47]

Thank you so much for the HQ Japonesque covers Kaled!

[Minttulatte]

So it was AKB48 who stole Kuu's record for best selling female artist DVD... I've been wondering who took the queen's record lol. Oh well, Kuu still has the best selling solo female artist DVD in her name so I'm not that pissed.

And yes, I can't stand AKB48 but won't go bash on them to their thread 'cause it's stupid.

[Corvina]

Just posted the 2011 charts in the Oricon thread, so here are Kuu's numbers for the year 2011!

Singles:
102 ,*74,300 4 TIMES(Poppin' love cooktail feat.TEEDA) / 倖田來未 11/08/17
177 ,*43,969 愛を止めないで / 倖田來未 11/09/21
192 ,*39,878 POP DIVA / 倖田來未 11/02/02
199 ,*38,055 Love Me Back / 倖田來未 11/11/30

Album:
29 *,211,033 Dejavu / 倖田來未 11/03/02

DVD:
36 *,40,982 Koda Kumi 10th Anniversary ~FANTASIA~ in Tokyo Dome / 倖田來未 11/05/18
48 *,27,520 Koda Kumi "ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~" at Billboard Live / 倖田來未 11/02/23

Oh, 4 TIMES almost got top 100 The numbers are okay, and since she did much better digitally, I'm satisfeid btw when I saw POP DIVA there I was like "wow it charted again?" but then I realised it's not been a year since we got it This year was so full of things omg

[Twinkle !]

Well the top 50 with +150k so it's okay she did well after all

EDIT : KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2011 ~Dejavu~ HQ cover !
