I'm super pumped for this album.

[Kaiouforever]

Side note: how can anyone hate Wada Akiko?

Yay for a new album! I'm excited for nurse and police Kuu.

Summary and translation of the Mnet Music Awards article:

It’s been announced that Koda Kumi will make an appearance at the “2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA)” which will be held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on November 29th. MAMA is the biggest music award show in Asia which is broadcasted live in 45 countries, and this upcoming show will be the 13th time for the event to be held.
Koda who has been active inside and outside Japan, received an offer for her powerful performance and singing skill.

Koda will be the only Japanese artist at MAMA, and she will go on the stage with other great artists. She commented, “I would like to try my best on the performance with great enthusiasm.”

That's an honor for Kuu to be invited to MAMAs and that as the only japanese artist.
And yay for her being that high up on the list for great PVs!
Kuu, I'm proud of you!

Love the pic for the new PV, her look seems so punkrock - and that with a nice choreo!
I really, really can't wait for the album. I'm so damn excited about it just like I discovered her back in 2007!

Say Her Name is kinda cool, but I don't like a lot the "say my name to my face". :|

[tenshi no hane]

^ I don't like the remix, but Say Her Name sounds great Thanks for sharing!

[LacusClyne]

I'm pumped for kuu coming to Singapore! I'll try to see if I can get a ticket to the awards, but my sis is already going to see 2PM and Miss A, she's thrilled too, and made a board for kuu. Which I think it's awesome, as she's more of a casual fan.

[Lee^ChaN]

Just saw Kuu on FNS best Kayousei.
She sang Poppin'LoveCocktail and it's good.
She wore colorful outfit (yellow fur top & shoes)

Thanks Kaled for the preview.. Say Her Name isn't really my cup of tea

[kaled kalil]

WTF is she wearing? o_o

[Beauty4123]

haha, kuu's outfit is crazy. but the performance was great!

[Minttulatte]

Say her name preview sounded really pretty. I really like it. <3

Poppin' love cocktail performance made me feel so hyped and grin like a idiot. It was so energetic and Kuu's clothes were colorful Now I feel happy. Thank you Kuu <3

Hmm, I guess I gotta go look for more TV performances of Kuu's. I haven't seen that many though I've been a crazy fan since 2008. For some reason I never felt like watching her TV performances. I've only gotten into that since Suki de x3/Anata dake ga was released. :'D Of course, I've seen few performances in TABOO era and few even before that but yeah, it was rare that I watched TV performances before XD And no one's interested <3

//And awesome that she gets a chance to perform at MAMAs. She's so gonna own the stage. <3

nice!

Ahhh I was so excited when I saw Kuu would be performing on the MAMA awards from Tokyohive. It's such an Honor to be asked to perform there, and it'll be broadcasted in 45 countries so hopefully I may be able to see it! Kuu's been working so hard, she deserves the recognition for her performances and work. People at Tokyohive and OMONA are really excited about it, too. Link for Tokyohive:

Wow, I really like the preview for 'Say Her Name'! It really stands out for a b-side for me, like 'Always'. I don't like the remix as much but it's still good to jam too!

Omg that performance was epic. I loved what she was wearing, and the dancers. Although I would because I love 2NE1 for that sort of style, too. It was a powerful performance, I thought her vocal was great, and all the fans were chucking their towels around and loving it. Mjy favourite performances are always ones that have loads of energy and connection with Kuu and the audience, I'll definately be downloading that one in HD.

@Dr.Dolce: I know a place where you can download all of Kuu TV lives, if you want to watch some. It's French and you have to become a member, but it only takes 2 seconds. I'll give you a link to the list of all her performances, if you'd like.

P.S That TV Guide photo is gorgeous!

so i made this:
01. Boom Boom Boys (mid october i think)
02. cutie pop song (2011.11.09)
03. ??? finished a PV faster than expected (2011.11.15+2011.11.16)
04. ??? feat. Omarion (2011.11.18-2011.11.19)
05. dance choreo PV (2011.11.22-2011.11.23)

i really hope she use all her A-Sides for this album...
i don't want another "Hashire!" drama again!!
Hashire! wasn't my fave song, BUT i hate it when they left A-Sides..
BEST ~third univers~ tracklist was horror without JUICY, Aisho, Cherry Girl and Unmei!!
thats why i fixed it in my iTunes lol

The album has 7 or 8 new songs, so I guess everything will have PV (and I hope so, I just love play Second Session and Kingdon DVD and watch a lot of PVs together).

I'm excited to see she performing on MAMA, if she sing Love Me Back will be really awesome, but I think she's gonna sing some old song (or even BE MY BABE once again).

She looks cute in this picture ♥

[Gustavopc]

Say Her Name sounds like rnb songs from early 2000s, I like it A LOT

And the perfomance was great, even with that outfit

then take a look to this:
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/Xkf83NAmf0o/

CDTV performance for Physical Thing. IMO PT is one of her worst "****ty" songs, but in this live is pure love and perfection. Awesome dance, outfit and hair. This make me think in the fact that usually kuu music is for me like: "well, song is ok, nothing amazing, but I know that this in live, or even better: this performed in the tour is going to be awesome"

Some examples:
Can we go back. Is a simple rock song cover, nothing outstanding. but her performance in Dream music park/Universe tour is just breath-taking!
Black Cherry: nice song, but it's nothing of the other world, btw in Black Cherry tour is like: OMG, how you can be sooooo ***ing awesome!??!

If you like kuu, then her "live" part should be important she's always do her best on the stage

[Heavenly]

I don't like Say Her Name, it's an RnB style ballad, and i hate when kuu did them... >_<
I'm looking forward to the new single, especially the new PV... we don't have anything yet ! Or almost...

Couldn't agree more with you. I also LOVE this PT live, one of my favorite ever And I usually adore her ballads lives, they sound much more emotional live, plus songs like CWGB, PLC and POP DIVA are awesome on stage as well. Well, you know, she's da queen of live

I agree that Kuu is aaawesome live, but that performance of Physical Thing is... easily my least favorite of any performance I've seen of her. It's so boring, she looks awkward in the closeups, and I don't like her outfit at all. x_x
