Yeah me too! I usually HATE her cutsey songs but not this time. And now that OS version is available I can finally get Japonesque yay~

It's kinda strange seeing a CM with a Kuu song but without her

Omg, congrats for the record, Kuu

You deserve it!

Ahh well done Kuu! Our Queen of live deserves it!!

Is this because in their cultures they have to be so polite in person that when they get online and can be anonymous they just let their inner demons out or something?

^ We were actually discussing that in class (I'm minoring East Asian Studies) and all their social harmony crap.

Do you have any links to any essays or theories on it? Sounds interesting

tokyoxjapanxfan · #**166** 17th February 2012, 08:24 AM

I'm...not feeling the new album.

The genres aren't really my cup of tea. Love Technique, Everyday, and IN THE AIR are my favorites. (IN THE AIR is probably in the top tier of my all time favorite Kuu songs, actually).

Of course I need to give it a bunch more listens, but I don't know... I haven't watched the videos for any of the new songs yet so those could definitely change my opinions of everything haha.

I like Dejavu more than Japonesque. But I like Japonesque more than I like TRICK...

Asian cultures are not the only ones that act like that on the internet....

We had some essays on it, but I don't have the links anymore. I took it during the fall term and my memory's a bit hazy. We only discussed it briefly in one of our lectures, but it's definitely interesting.

Yes, not really but when you look at how much pressure they get to achieve social harmony, it's not surprising that some would enjoy anonymity too much. This struggle for social harmony is really evident, especially on the Japanese culture.

Sorry, for the boring post.

I'm so happy for Kuu's record for 8 consecutive #1 concert DVDs streak. She's the QUEEN for heaven's sake so she deserves this.

I've noticed that a lot of the time, the Japanese protect anything thing about them that could link them to a real life person. Like, a lot of people here at AHS post up our blogs, pictures, twitter, facebook and don't think anything of it. But I find that Japanese people don't post anything about themselves. No faces, no real name, nothing.

I wanna try the Kuu pachinko. How many does she have now?

I was just referring to people not liking confrontation being face to face, but when they are protected by a computer screen people will attack each other over the littlest of things..
(just read some of the stuff on here... its pathetic how people treat each other really)

Gustavopc · #**178** 17th February 2012, 08:30 PM

Thanks for the scans

This Pachinko machine is unexpected lol Wonder if they'll take a song from JAPONESQUE to promote it with some CMs

Well, I can assure you that I'm every bit as *****y and crazy in real life as I am online!

Dunno if that's a good thing....

I wasn't following Kuu closely when her last few pachinko machines came out. Is something special supposed to happen??

She looks lush and YAY to internet piracy ... because it's not yet up on jpopsuki I bought a copy of the tour today. Worked out that short month = same pay as normal in new job so yay. Doesn't say much for normal months but I can enjoy Kuu, rent and food next week.
