Heh... that beautiful multicolor pouch was sold out the day it came out TT___TT So unfair. A lot of FC stuff ends up bought by people who sell them on eBay for inflated prices...

The Lego-like figurines are cute! I was pleasantly surprised to see that particular FANTASIA outfit, epitome of cute. I'm going to try to get the facemask and lipbalm though.

All the goods are cute

The previews sound good so far! I'm really liking the sound of Alarm and No One. Run continues to sound super promising.

AMAZING. It feels like older Kuu, and as though she's NOT trying to sound American. It's got such a unique, genuine feel that I haven't heard since like UNIVERSE, JAPONESQUE... I'm really happy.

Alarm, I'm lovin', all of the ballads... even Killer Monster and WORK IT. WORK IT reminds me a bit of Lay Down. I can't wait for the albums to drop!!

(also, that neon coin purse is sooo cute!)

driving_angel 2020-11-13 17:15:31

P.S. I hope I didn't come off sounding rude, it's just been hard to get used to Kuu's style change since about WOML for me, and I got excited hearing tracks that sounded like stuff from her TABOO--Summer Trip era. I still love her new stuff, but I'm a nostalgic person lol. I didn't mean to imply she isn't genuine, it's just American influence in global music has been so rampant the past few years, and the reason I got into J-Pop was because it was so vastly different from American music lol.

Awesome! Lol we now have three "work" songs - Work It Out!, Work That, and WORK IT! Anyway, I'm glad we're getting all this news and teasers; with all this promotion and 20th anniversary hype, I hope she can make #1 on the charts with this release!!!

driving_angel 2020-10-30 17:00:07

I'm guessing the song will be on angeL rather than monsteR,but it could be the lone ballad there, like Heartless was on W Face Outside. It sounds great, and the teaser looks nice! I love when she has bright colors in her MVs instead of the dull, washed out tones for a lot of ballad MVs.

sodiumamytal 2020-10-30 04:35:53

It's simply gorgeous! I agree with sodiumamytal, it sounds very much like Heartless, a very emotional and somewhat empowering ballad. Also, the continuing visual aesthetic of dark black contrasted by vibrant neon colors is nice to see. It's very beautiful. I wonder if the PV will be underwater, it kind of looks that way!

I hate to go off-topic but was anyone able to nab the Halloween wallpaper from Koda Gumi? I'm getting some weird error message "2020/10/30(JST) Customers do not have a delivery models for your use this content."

driving_angel 2020-10-30 14:46:47

omgggg she looks amazing! I loved the visuals in the Watch Out! MV, nice to see she's returning to that here. Hopefully the song slaps.

sodiumamytal 2020-10-29 04:26:24

I think it's gonna be like something off DNA. For monsteR, though, I hope we see more songs like OUTTA MY HEAD, Work That, and Pin Drop. While I like her sexy/aggressive songs and cute stuff, she's also a master at that weird middle ground of sexy electropop and dance numbers. I've been hooked on those kinds of releases since UNIVERSE, and hope that maybe this will fall into the middle ground.

I'm just glad Kuu's able to give us another look (maybe even a drop!) before the albums come out <3 Thanks for sharing! (that bottom pic is my new wallpaper lol)

driving_angel 2020-10-30 02:59:38

Ah! Amazing! I'm so happy for her, I don't care if it's a singing cameo or whatever.

I actually only JUST saw the Cherry Girl movie a few months ago, when I binged a bunch of Kuu videos during quarantine. I really loved it, even though it was corny, because she's always so fun to watch - a lot of her on-stage and interlude-movie personality translated into her acting, and I loved it. She's a very high-energy performer, and it shows in her acting too.

Whatever the role, however big it is, I'm just happy for her and excited to watch!

driving_angel 2020-10-28 02:10:02

Not long till we will see it

StarCatcher 2021-02-02 14:38:19

Uwah, I love the idea of Kuu playing video games! She's definitely the good mom I always assumed she'd be. Her son has to be, what, 8 years old already?! Crazy how time flies!

driving_angel 2020-10-20 17:53:37

Omg, I love LiSA too! It's so cool to know that they're friends!!! I'd love to see them do a duet someday soon!

driving_angel 2020-10-20 17:54:54

We already have a live featuring of LiSA and kuu chan on 2018 FNS : http://www.welcometokodakumiworld.com/actu/News.php?id=323 ;)

LiDaYu 2020-10-21 11:13:10

I've seen that! It was really cool. But I think an official recorded collaboration would be great. LiSA is very much at the top of her game with Leo-NINE (I think she's breaking records!), and a duet would certainly explode the Oricon charts <3

driving_angel 2020-10-28 02:11:40

Kuu is Kuueen! She may be number twenty, but she'll always have our support as number one ^.^

driving_angel 2020-10-20 18:01:38

How exciting! Kuu always collaborates with cool people. Lovin' that they're anime bishounen xD The fact that she's the only female voice reminds me of her WON'T BE LONG collab with EXILE way back in the day.

I wonder if the song will be on either monsteR or Angel?
