Ummmm..wow I love Kuu, I would even go as far as saying Japonesque is a lot better than the majority of Ayu's most recent albums. I was just taken aback by the tweet and was looking for answers, why are y'all so sensitive?

No one was attacking you, and we're defending the Goddess. Like what did you honestly expect?

don't waste your time. They've made it very clear they don't like colours. Just let them be.

Haha, emi, take a cookie!

Some more news from the last two days:
HOTEL got a tie in. It`s the theme song for japanese TV show Sukkiri for August.


Also Kuu is part of the Osaka Music Festival on 09/28.

And HOTEL CM is airing on the big screen in Shibuya!

I'm bummed out this is her first single in years with no TV live peformance. The song really had some potential to be a hit IMO but oh well. I was hoping she'd just do Music Station next week but she's not performing there either. :/

I also find it funny how she's scheduled tons and tons of radio interviews next week. They must be thinking they are doing promotion when no one listens to radio in Japan.

But maybe TV performances aren`t profitable?
I mean, nowadays her sales seem absolutely the same with and without TV performances. The CM is airing in TV at least.

Well, maybe Kuu is busy with Taiwan live preparations so she has no time to promote HOTEL? Maybe she will do more performances for her winter single then. x3

And emi, you're not the only one who likes Colours. It's not a personal favorite but it's not crap to me either. Lelio♥

A Music Station performance makes a big difference on the digital charts and it also helps a bit physically as well. She hasn't been invited there since Feb 2013 and thats one factor that has caused her sales to decline since then as it was one of the outlets that brought her music to the general public. Music Japan, CDTV, Music Fair these other shows don't make any difference physically but they do give a slight digital boost from time to time.

I really loved HOTEL PV preview (let's not talk about MONEY IN MY BAG and that split, I still hyperventilate just thinking about it, SHE LOOKS SO AWESOME!!)

Avex would never drop Kuu, how are they going to bully her releases if she's not there anymore? lol

I'm not really a Kuu fan, just somewhat ocasional listener. And out of boredom i downloaded Bon Voyage. I am actually surprised not many folks here liked it. I am no fan of dance music tracks but i surprisingly enjoyed quite a few on it. After going throuh the whole thing i came to the conclusion that it's a verry chilled out piece. I liked how a lot of songs had quite quirky arrangements. Like stuff you woudn't normally hear from someone like her. It's quite a decent album i'd say. Not to mention her rock tracks are always awesome and really works with her vocals well. I had JAPANESQUE and i only left myself with like 4 songs from it, on this one I left 9 and that to me says "decent album" xD

I also checked HOTEL. It is rather messy, but i really didn't see a problem with that lol I did enjoy it! It's fun!

Question though, is there a single pic from a profesional photoshoot where she would not have her mouth hanging open? xD It is starting to get ridiculous... I guess she thinks it's sexy? xD

That's the problem, she and her team never get that it makes her look like a horse (since 3 SPLASH) but we can only hope they will figure it out themselves, her expressions/face doesn't look good when she does that, especially when she does it excessively.

I'm so stocked up for MONEY IN MY BAG song+PV
I'm all here for these kuu stuff!

It's the equivalent to Ayu's ducklips phase and Namie's HBIC look. I just accept it lol.
