Did you guys know that the same lady who composed Ayu's is this LOVE? and RULE also did Koda Kumi's Butterfly and Ningyo hime? I'm officially a fan of Miki Watanabe...

Miki Watanabe is a girl? I always thought it was a guy.

I'm actually only assuming she's a girl cause that's what I get from her name but on Japanese Wikipedia it doesn't say.

Anyways, she also wrote, composed, and arranged Koda's Crazy 4 U and Selfish, wrote and composed Into your heart, and composed and arranged Teaser and Come over.

I'm so going to have to check those out. is this LOVE? and RULE are some of my favorite Ayu songs and Ningyo hime and Butterfly are equally amazing.

that ai no uta performance was amazing.. kuu still has the vocals perfect! :heart

thanks for the translation, also. i love this woman so much and i don't think it'll ever change. my kuuversary is coming up soon. years of kuu love and many more to come!

Well, however de lyrics of Alive & Physicial Thing are good..
Don't you think that those are quite boring songs?

somewhat offtopic: Does somebody has a good picture of Kumi's yellow dress in Under?

Noo~~~
I love both songs.
And the PVs are really awesome imo =)

^ the TV performance for Physical thing was much better *O*
she can dance and sing very well :yes

I'm in love with Alive/Physical thing single. I love both songs and the special tracks as well. This single really made my day when it was released.

How does this single do on charts by the way? I've been so busy with school I haven't been able to follow her charting. :3

Unfortunately it only sold about 32k in it's forst week.

BUT still it's number 1 =)

ahhhh

great I learnt something new today & kinda no surprises since you can feel those somewhat hard rock vibes going on for the tunes you had mentioned for both ladies :yes

^ Are those all rock charged songs? That's the impression I get from the stuff I've listened to, I didn't even know until I listened to Ningyo hime that Koda Kumi made that kind of music.

Yummy songs. :P Coupled with Ayu's is this LOVE & Rule, I'm in love with this person. :love

No the only REAL rock songs are Ningyo-Hime and Selfish.

The rest isn't very rockisch, especially feel goes completely in another direction

Wow, she's made a lot more music for Kumi!!! I pretty much am in love with the highlighted lol.

you listed ningyo hime twice, but i love almost all of those songs!

except the disaster that is BEST FRIEND OF MINE

nothing to do with anything:

WATERBALLOON! - Where'd that Angela Chang set come from? :O
i looooove it!!

It came from my Photoshop, :P Thanks anyway!

Oh... October 11th is coming pretty soon... J-WAVE! I'm also gonna drop by HMV in the next couple of days to get Alive/Physical thing!

Alive is at #15 today, so... at least it was #1 weekly and had gorgeous covers and had beautiful songs~ :D

I agree with this. :yes

I just saw Crazy 4 U since Miki Watanabe created it and the music was okay but the PV made me drool. I almost exploded ( :P ).
