Does anyone know if the tracks on Winter of Love were remastered in any way?

^ Totally, I had just listened to it yesterday then went to my last.fm and realised that all previously released tracks were marked as my favourites already. I will not be surprised if the album makes it to my Top 5 scrobbled albums of '16

I took a nap yesterday and dreamt Kuu announced a new song titled ''Replay'' and it was going to be the theme of a Japanese dance movie (like Step Up) and she was playing a minor role on it. It'd be cool to see her doing so lol

I'm hoping that after THE ARTIST airs in Feb she'll announce a new single and THE ARTIST DVD/BD for release in April/May on the same day. Hope we don't have to wait until August for new music.

Pictures from Kumi's performance at Sound Inn "S":

http://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000...000005544.html

Looking gorgeous, as usual.

@Pieces_of_SEVEN I don't think the songs needs to be remastered, since they were released after 2005. They are barely 10 years old.

Here are the pics:







The article mentions some interesting things.
Keiichi Tomita and Shimada Masanori are re-arragning the songs for the live performances (only for this program). Kuu is performing with a full classcial band.
It was the first time she actually sang Jazz and she enjoyed it. It was her first challenge of the new year.
Kuu was so impressed by the new arrangement of Swallowtail Buterfly, that she wanted to record it.
There's also a talk part. She talked about her current self and how she re-discovered, how important it is to refresh the feeling of respect towards music, not forgetting the basics. All in all Kuu had so much fun she occasionally forgot a camera was around. She's saying laughing, that this is a program for the artists.

Stop making Kuu's classy microphone sound like it's something perverted. XD

Goddammit, I didn't know WoL already leaked. I gotta download it tomorrow and listen to it on repeat the whole day. It's a good way to celebrate my 10th Anniversary as her fan. It's been crazy years, I have gotten shit flying at me from Ayu fan army (they felt betrayed, lol) on other forums for turning into a Kuu fan. But those times never stopped me. Their negativity on my music taste doesn't matter.

I was bored today so I watched First Class Limited Live II and gosh, people who said it wasn't that great were right. It wasn't pleasant to watch because she sung only short versions of the songs (especially when a song was my personal favorite) and there was barely anything that changed. But I was still able to watch it and feel the nostalgia so I guess I don't hate this live (It's hard for me to hate any Kuu live lol).

Those Sound Inn S photos are gorgeous as expected. I hope we'll get the performances soon.

NO ME WITHOUT YOU

It's not a lie that here is lighted me is me too.
But just real me is too immature & has nothing.. Baby that me.

★I think again and again 'Give up fighting'
But I keep on trying
I'm not alone already.
You're by my side

☆There's no me without you
If I struggle, be painful and want to cry
I'm keeping singing my song
Say encore again and again
I want to be able to tell you
I know It's true
There's no me without you

If this way was mistake
I won't choose give up
Baby I think we can't be happy and strong without be wounded




Everybody live life with anxiety yeah
Everybody greet with tomorrow by surpprted someone.
\yeahwe go cause

There's no me without you
I'm keeping screaming I Love you
If I couldn't breath I'll keep on for you

There's no me without you
Say encoire again and again
Such a immature me
There's no me without you
There's no me without you

Thank you so much!
That's seriously a great show. Like the arrangements and Kuu sounds strong. You can tell she likes being there.
I especially love On And On. Everything is on point there.

I'm surprised at how well she pronounced the words for All Of Me. I was expecting a mess that sounds like a language from space but she did really well. At times she did go a bit off but I still love that she went for it. Good job for surprising me, Kuu. Other performances were good as well, but for me All Of Me was a standout performance this time. I also think that her vocals were pretty good though at times she did get a bit too dramatic but otherwise I really enjoyed watching this.

Damn I love Swallowtail's new arrangement And I'm pleasantly surprised by her English in All of Me. Great performances~


edit: Got the official lyrics thanks to the performance. I love that they subtitle those things~ The top corner said the lyrics reflect how she feels towards her fans, by the way.

On And On (my translation):
Spoiler:
Telling myself I’m never alone
has its limits, so please
stand next to me with a smile
and reach out to me every day,
never ever let go

I’m not used to healing wounds
but there’s always tomorrow

And it goes on and on
On and on it goes
I might feel like falling apart at times
but I keep on moving on and on
On and on it goes

I’m not saying I never feel at loss
My past struggles, yes, they’re still in my heart
And if I’d count how many times I’ve been happy
it might not be a large number,
but I feel I’ve grown stronger

I want to go through life, cuddled close to you
feeling scared together and supporting each other

And it goes on and on
On and on it goes
I might feel like falling apart at times
but I keep on moving on and on
On and on it goes

People might mock me with fake compliments
those words might hurt
but let’s walk through life, the future, our way

On and on it goes
I might feel like falling apart at times
but I keep on moving on and on
On and on it goes

^ Thanks for the translation so much

Loved the performances, she was on point during all of it On And On is easily my fav, but all songs were amazing

PS: Nothing on the NO ME WITHOUT YOU PV so far?
