Quote: Well to our cultural context it's overreacting. But Japanese are more sensitive and Kumi did make a careless comment (even though probably she didn't mean it). Doubt this is going to affect her much in the long run.
Yeah apparently she is releasing yet another best. It's really dumb imo having a fourth best after having one last year. It's like they're cheapening the value of a best album. I like Kumi but the gimmicks avex uses sometimes are really tacky and make her look as if she cares about nothing apart from sales.
I get what you're saying and I agree that it was a stupid thing to say, but it was still pretty annoying, the entire thing. Blowing things up and then having Kuu go on TV [fake?] crying and being accused of being insincere, and then blah blah. I just think it was all annoying and unnecessary, almost as if people were watching and waiting the whole time for her to make a mistake and then jump on her for it.
It is dumb. I love her and all, but I can't afford all of these bests 
And if she's going to release a new one every year, I don't see the point in trying to afford them anyway. I thought avex would stop already but apparently not. x-x |

| I think it goes without saying that once you become a celebrity you're constantly in the spotlight whether you like it or not and people will criticize everything that you do, especially at something that the general public reacts to so negatively. It is unfortunate that the public is being so harsh about this, but that's how life for a celebrity is and I hope Kumi can remember this when she returns from her suspension. |

Hopefully it will  With her new concert being released next week and not to mention she'll be going on tour soon, she's off suspension. I'm looking forward to a new single by her. Although I still have plenty of new Ku material to keep me busy for awhile  Still it will be nice to have Ku back <3 |

During my spring break I fell in love with Kingdom a lot more than before, it seriously is a really strong album, coupled with the fact that the lyrics are pretty nice on most songs. Seriously the lyrics for koi no mahou and anytime are sooo cute  lol
Cant wait for the Black Cherry DVD to be released since I'm expecting an awesome performance. |

I think that could be a good thing  I think for Ku to make a good comeback from that scandal, she doesn't need another "Best" album. She needs a strong single.  There were rumors floating around on a few sites that Ku might change her image completely and a new single in July. Only rumors for now, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. |

| ^ I hope so. A good single is loads better than a best album, for sure At least, for now. |

Fergie?  I don't know what to say. Although I guess if I were to guess who Kuu would do a collab with, it'd be her. This should prove to be an interesting single, ne?  Thanks for the info Lisa! |
