of course yes!
what about the performance of "you" on Fever Live in Hall? is already anything more perfect than that?

Sorry for the random question, but, does anybody know if we can embedd dailymotion videos here, like YT vids?

I've been downloading HDTV quality vids of kuu's performances recently like mad, I didn't think the performances could get any better til you see them in HD. *O*

[Kingdom]

She truly is the queen of live... seeing her live usually makes me love her songs more, and if I dislike a certain song, a performance of it usually comes around that makes me love it.

[Zeke.]

I love the verses of Say Her Name but I do not like the chorus at all.

[ren'ai]

Ahh I really love Say Her Name, I want the full thing

That perfomance made me fall in love with "you" Actually the whole FEVER LIVE is flawless, MORE, Sweet Love..., hands, BUT It totally fits the perfection of Kingdom

[Rock Steady]

I hope they'll be passing out paper and pen at MAMA so all the kpop idols can take notes during Kuu's performance. The Queen is gonna show them how it's done. ♥

[ALfromHELLSING]

Say Her Name sounds awesome! I love this song already <3 remix is pretty cool too. can't wait to get my hands on the single! Plz FedEx be fast!

And I'm so proud of Kumi that she's gonna be at MAMA, can't wait to see her performances. I think she'll probably perform Ai wo Tomenaide + upbeat track.

[kaled kalil]

I don't like the Fever Live in Hall, it's pretty boring to me. And I like you @ DMP so much more ♥ ♥ ♥ The rain, the feathers, her outfit... Just perfect.

Yes please. I don't really care what I gotta do to watch more Kuu TV lives~

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

Thanks for the link. That's probably the most emotionless ****ty song performance from Kuu I've ever seen. Choreography was cool but it still lacked something. But it's awesome that she performed the song on TV though.

As for the concert lives, I've seen every concert already and I agree with you on Can We Go Back. I seriously had a hate/love relationship with it when I heard it for the first time but when I saw the epic Universe Tour/Dream Music Park performance I've been in love with the song It's just so awesome what a single live can do to a song <3

[kaled kalil]

3 songs? Cool! But Ai no Uta AGAIN?... Let it go, Kumi. Please.
I think will be her normal "award" live, starting with a long dress and then a sexy outfit, under the dress.

[Corvina]

Say Her Name sounds great so far!
A western sounding "old school" R&B midtempo song, pretty unique for her discography nowadays.
I'm curious how I'll like it in full, after liking the live version of You are not alone so much, my love for the rearranged studio version went down pretty fast.
But Say Her Name won't change, so ~
Don't like the remix preview at all, forgettable.

Today there's another FC info about her deciding outfits for a PV, so it really seems we will get a new album with PVs for all songs. That's great, but I hope all are at least on a decent level, not like with Kingdom, where few of them did suffer.

By the way, Love Me Back debuted at #1 yesterday at Chaku Uta full and is #2 today. Say Her Name is charting as well. And Ai wo tomenaide is still charting.
The LMB PV is still at #1.

[krauterol]

pretty low ninki index... well let's wait. As usually.. she's doing so decent in the digital charts!
btw, what is exactly MAMA?? I've never heard about it before!

To be fair, 'Ai No Uta' is one of her most successful ballads, and she'll be performing to a lot of people that probably don't know her and her songs like we do, so I think it's kinda a smart move for her to perform some of her more successful songs, as a lot of the audience at MAMA will be hearing it for the first time. And hopefully will love it as much as we did when we first heard it.

I'm curious as to the other 2 songs she'll sing. And I am guessing the same thing with her outfit. I hope it's a killer.

@Dr.Dolce: I'll provide you with said link as soon as I get home.

[kaled kalil]

@krauterol: MAMA is the Mnet Asian Music Awards (more lika a Korean Music Award, but anyway).

@Ayu_Love: I know, and I'm kinda ok with this, not expecting something WOW. It's better when you just sits to watch and enjoy what she's doing, but I think she should, at least, give a chance to another ballad too.
