Funnies thing Kumi never wanted to be ero-kakkoi. avex pretty much forced her to be like that. I don't think she was very happy in 2006 after getting unofficial "shame of kyoto" award. No surprise she never performed JUICY again.


THIS lol I couldn't even listen to it till the end. ewww
Really, I always read that it was Kuu's idea. Does anyone know which one it is, like through an interview or something?

Gustavopc 22nd May 2012 01:01 AM
She said on Koda Gumi that it was her idea to adopt a sexier image, but I've seen some people saying it was actually a suggestion of a dancer of hers.

I gotta aggree with Kaled about her image transition, but I think that the scandal just speeded up a process that had started, I mean, after second session, Kumi started slowly to get more in touch again with what she was working on, and she even compose a track on Black Cherry, and the whole Kingdom concept shows how she was already taking control over herself in avex. I think that's natural for artists who become successful, they have a phase in which they are controlled but they feel the urge to "be free", and then they slowly take control of their careers [or sometimes just they give it up lol]. If they ever succed with this independence, that's up to them, some managed to do so, some didnt.

Well, it seems at the very least, it wasn't avex's idea for Kuu to be ero-kawaii?

I also agree with the rest of the post. I think that after she started having success and got more control over her image, maybe because her ero-kawaii idea was a hit and avex was able to trust her judgement, she was able to do things like produce her own albums.

so much love :luv2 It's lighter than koda's but interesting. I only wish it had better backing vocals and mastering at certain times...but...must have mp3.

ren'ai 22nd May 2012 02:01 AM
Btw, this is one documentary I found from here someone posted a while ago I think, I don't know exactly where it's from but it's written by Kumi apparently about her struggles until the secret era

EDIT: i checked, it's from the First Things tour pamphlet

Spoiler:

Pre-debut until ‘affection’
Born on the 13th of November in 1982, Kumi is the first girl born in to the Koda family. Her professional career started with strong recommendations from her grandfather (who taught her Japanese bamboo flute) and her mother (a teacher of Japanese harp). Kumi has started practicing classical Japanese dance since as small as she can ever recall.

“I think I was three when I first performed on stage wearing a Kimono. So I can say that my dancing career is pretty long. Still now I get very nervous and tense before I go on the stage but as soon as I am on it, I become a professional performer. I think it’s because I have been practicing to dance on stage ever since I was a small kid. It was the time I became interested in singing. After the stage was over, we used to gather together at the banquet hall of the hotel and throw an after party and I remember my mother used to sing on those occasions. You know how usually, there is a tiny stage in those halls and people used to ask my mother to sing popular songs and once she started singing, everyone just stopped talking and listened to my mother singing. That was the moment I thought, I want to be like her: a singer who stops people’s conversations and have them listen to you sing”. She did not want to be just an icon or celebrity, but was fascinated by her mother’s ability to capture the audience’s attention simply with her voice.

“In the primary school yearbook I wrote “I want to be a singer when I grow up”. The first time I went for an audition was when I was in the 3rd grade. Ever since the first one, I had been trying out for so many auditions and passed for the first time when I was in the 2nd grade in high school. I started going back and forth between Tokyo and Osaka to attend singing and dancing classes then. I used to work part time at the same time to save up. On the way home from Tokyo after the classes , I fell asleep on the train and missed my spot more than once. Not know when I will ever be able to sing as a professional, one year passed and then an opportunity came. “

“It was a suprise being prepared by the staff and people who were involved in the production of the CD! I did not know anything so I focused on writing lyrics and recording instead of being worried! I wrote and rewrote lyrics over and over and did recordings endlessly without being given an exact day of the sales date. And one day there it was, my CD lined up at the CD shop with my face! “

Finally Kumi made her debut as a singer on the 6th of December in 2000 with her debut single “TAKE BACK”. However, her first single did not sell much and was never glittering as she imagined it to be. “I couldn’t put 100% of my focus on promoting as I was attending school the other time... It killed me to see the reality”.
Despite her depression, her single was sold in the U.S and also ranked 20th on the ‘Hot Dance Music Single’ of the Billboard but such glorious achievement did not cheer her up. “I knew being ranked on Billboard chart was a huge success but I placed emphasis on being top in the local (Japanese) chart back then”.

After releasing three singles, she also came up with the first album ‘affection’ on 27th March 2002. “I think at that stage, all my songs were great but back then I just didn’t care which songs I sang if I could sing and did not choose for myself. For example, there are very difficult songs like ‘COLOR OF SOUL’ and ‘So Into You’ and I used to wonder “will everyone hum this song or sing this song at Karaoke?” There were instincts and thoughts I just didn’t put much care into. I did not have enough experience or skills and methods to deliver my feelings”. Such struggle and conflict put her in agony for a while. “My 5th single ‘love across the ocean’, I thought was a masterpiece and I did not doubt it would be a hit but then, reality again hit me with disappointment. I was really confused again.”

real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba until grow into one

Her 7th single ‘real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba’ saved her singing career. It was used as a theme song of the popular game ‘Final Fantasy X-2’. The song hit the 3rd position on the Oricon chart. “This song was my last chance for success and it changed my life.”

Her consciousness of being an artist abruptly increased with this mega hit. “People started to notice me in town and my attitude towards how I should present myself as an artist dramatically changed. That is one of the reasons why I started to watch my weight. I lost 8 kilograms. I did not want people to think I am someone who cannot take care of my body. I thought staffs would not look up and make an effort for some lazy artist. I wanted to point out my sincere determination to become an important artist to everyone around me. And for me, it was to be on a diet. Immediately after ‘real Emotion’, we announced our 2nd album ‘grow into one’ and it also achieved good results and sales. This time this album reflected my opinions and thoughts more and what is more, I did not rely on TV exposure and still, it sold well and so I can say I did a pretty good job! “We must not forget that Kumi Koda is not those “Media Hype” singers who are over exposed on TV and use promotional publicities to sell but she is a singer who has her talent to rely on.”

For a while, after making my first single, I still sang at night clubs for a while. The situations were sometimes disastrous like the microphone was broken or everyone was drinking and they didn’t even care if I was there singing or not. But those experiences helped me gain guts to sing, train my vocals and taught me to ‘appreciate’. Once there was a time I had to sing for 3 and a half hours non-stop, shooting for a TV program. People might think “Woo that’s a harsh task” but it was nothing for me really, compared to worse experiences and other challenging situations I had known”.

Feel my mind

During the recording session of her 3rd album ‘feel my mind’, she joined in discussions with her sound producer and refined her senses as a music producer. “I had my own opinions of how sound should be made. You can see it in ‘Gentle Words’ and ‘Crazy 4 U’. I started listening to international music and started getting influences by them. I wanted to put an R&B and Hip-Hop taste into my next album and wanted to go on a tour as well. We were gonna make an album compiled with catchy songs everyone can sing and melodious songs to sing at lives... and stuff like that... That’s also when I was asked to sing the theme song of ‘Cutie Honey’. All went well as we planned and produced”.

Kiseki until secret

Her success continued and her 13th and very first ballad single ‘Kiseki’ was also a big hit. “I always wanted to sing a ballad song and my dream was built up for 4 years. With this hit, I was very proud and gained even more confidence”. Kumi said she recognised important facts as she was recording her 4th album. “I realised as I listened to my fans that they simply loved ‘good’ songs. I think I was thinking all songs have to have complicated meanings or had to be technically ‘cool’ but then my fans told me that simple, pure and straight songs were the songs they loved the most.”
Post-secret & Kumi’s vision of the future

The singing journey of Kumi still continues and Kumi talked to us about her vision for the future with strong and clear determination. “I would like to continue singing till I am 50, 60 years old. I don’t know where I will be in 20 years. I might be married and might have kids!? Despite that I will keep singing and want to be supported by younger generations, too. I want my kids (if I have any) to respect me for what I do. I want myself to be supported by fans who love me for who I am and for what I sing. Also, you never know I might be singing rock, alternative songs when I am 30 and jazz when I am 60! I don’t want to narrow down my singing potential into a small category. One thing I know for sure is that I will keep singing as long as I live!”


seems she became more involved after her debut album, and it increased as the years went by. I'm pretty sure there was another interview she did where she spoke about the harsh times and stuff, and I think in that she mentioned it was her idea for the phrase ero-kakkoii.. and that she only regrets not putting her own name in the phrase like Namie's amuraa style

Gustavopc 22nd May 2012 03:00 AM
wow, thanks for posting this! there was something like this in Koda Reki, but this one focuses a bit more on these initial steps as a singer.

you guys can't imagine how was my face after reading this hahahaha <3

oh btw every single hater should read this. they think she just took her clothes off and was instantly famous. this girl had many hard days on her path, she deserves her happiness.

ren'ai 22nd May 2012 03:25 AM
^ THAT'S IT!! Tenshi no hane translated it the Koda REKI :D

Quote:
I was the one who chose the style of being cool and sexy, but to be honest, I felt guilty when I thought about my parents. So when I saw my parents smiling happily, I was able to think “I’m glad I stuck with my style!!” from the bottom of my heart for the first time.
That's from it XD thank you, I was racking my mind to remember where it was from and where I'd saved it.

It's so sad reading about her struggles but really inspirational too :yes

the part I laughed at was this though:
Quote:
“We must not forget that Kumi Koda is not those “Media Hype” singers who are over exposed on TV and use promotional publicities to sell but she is a singer who has her talent to rely on.”
that idea totally switched around in 2005/6 lol

happiholic★ 22nd May 2012 04:40 AM
I love reading in-depth interviews about Kuu. She's so down to Earth, easy to relate to and doesn't try to hard to have, as she said, complicated meanings. I love her simplicity. I can't say it enough, she's simple, but its genuine and sincere. And it works for her because she still really stands out.

emi♡ 22nd May 2012 05:33 AM
All the reasons why I really love her and who she is :heart

Minttulatte 22nd May 2012 03:34 PM
I used to think avex forced her to do ero-kakkoii image but it surely wasn't so. Kuu invented it herself hoho. She said that Crazy 4 U was the song where she found what kind of artist she wants to be. I was personally pretty surprised but I seriously adore that song even more now. :heart

I'm listening to Cutie Honey (PV Version) on repeat now. Hell, I love that urban/R&B whatever break it is so much. I have to watch that PV again soon~ ^_^

Oh yeah, about original versions. I was so shocked to hear Bounce's original version. It was so horrible. D: I didn't like Nosheen's version of Physical thing either because to me she sounded really annoying. I prefer Kuu's voice in this song more.

I believe I read that in the interview during feel my mind era. Something about her manager wearing shorts or mini-skirt so avex "suggested" her to try this style.

Anyway even if it was avex back then, she's doing so natural, like seriously not too many female artist can do that. Some of them just overdoing it and it looks awkward, when it comes to Kumi she always looks hot 'n' sexy & never awkward.

Guys, does anyone have the complete set of kumi logos she's had throughout her career? Like including the one of her sillhouette on a rose etc? Thanks in advance!

@ren'ai Probably that's BACK-ON new single or album, both are being released this month [I think the single is already on stores, but whatever]

I have what I believe to be the first four logos she used, some for just one or two releases

If anyone has got the crowns from now and her 10th anniversary, I'd love you to post it~

happiholic★ 24th May 2012 05:26 AM
I'd like for her to choose one logo and stick with it. So it would be her trademark. I like the skull best, but I think the spiky K one would be the most universal.

Earth_maiden 24th May 2012 07:58 AM
Does anyone have a HQ pic of Kuu's baby daddy?

Gustavopc 24th May 2012 12:22 PM
@happiholic Well, since MOON she's using a crown very similar to the Kingdom one as her symbol [except for her 10th anniversary, when she added the 10th to it, but now she's back to the normal one]

kaled kalil 24th May 2012 03:03 PM
It's BACK ON new album 'Good Job!!'.

@Tsubasa: I have this pic but it's smaller than this. XD

@Earth_maiden: It's not HQ, but it's a good pic of him http://gkblog.up.seesaa.net/image/KENJI-BACK-ON.jpg

Lady~Deviance 24th May 2012 03:42 PM
Thanks for posting the songs Welurru! I definitely prefer Nevena's "This is not a Love Song" over Kuu's. I prefer her use of her vocal range and her voice in general.

But the original "Bounce" song sounds terrible. It's one of my favorite Kuu songs and I'm glad she brought justice to the song.

ren'ai 24th May 2012 04:12 PM
Gustavo thank you so much!
Here are her crowns

Kingdom
http://i45.tinypic.com/ribshu.jpg

10th Anniversary
http://i49.tinypic.com/34s5o46.jpg

This one she used for TRICK, Dejavu & JAPONESQUE so I'm guessing it's her 'main' one for now when there isn't a special occasion?
http://i49.tinypic.com/29zzsp1.jpg

Anyone have the one of her next to a rose in full profile & one of her sitting on a rose?

Gustavopc 24th May 2012 05:29 PM
Thank you! Yeah, this one with those K's is the logo she's using for her releases, the Kingdom one was just for the album
There's also a special logo she used for Butterfly, of her as fairy and a rose by her side, but I've only seen it once

what was the skull for? it's so cool. and do you have the last one in png form like all the others?

Gustavopc 24th May 2012 06:23 PM
I think it was only for TAKE BACK or COLOR OF SOUL, I'm not sure... And no, I don't have the rose one already selected :(

I think that's all of them! yaaaay us

Ayu_Love 24th May 2012 10:33 PM
I definitely prefer the crown logo, I've always seen the rose logo's as kumi, too, but more when she was in her secret mroe girly era. The crown logo is more 'mature', I think. I think she changes her logo depending on how she and her music changes, which is cool. :) Although it does mean there is no never a logo really recognized as kuu's trademark, like Ayu's A. Although I do recognize the crown as kuu's trademark since Kingdom.

I really don't like the spikey KK logo though. D: The ones that form into a heart are kinda cool though!

Does anybody have more good HQ images of Kuu's make-up?

Heavenly 24th May 2012 10:34 PM
I have made the JAPONESQUE "wings" a while ago, if someone is interested :

I think that's all of them! yaaaay us
Do you have HQ pic of the Final Fantasy styled one? It was Best Second Session I guess, or SS live...

Zeke. 25th May 2012 06:27 AM
Interesting logos. Ayu's has to be the most universal though. I mean, she really hit the nail on the head with her logo. You can incorporate that ***** into everything, and she has! Lol.

It's funny how that black silhouette head with the rose in her hair looks EXACTLY like her, but this one which shows more detail doesn't look a thing like her.

Gustavopc 25th May 2012 08:12 PM

Well even down to the nose! Ku has a very distinct nose, it's a little bit wider but cute - round and flat. This nose is too shapely and pointed upward!

LiDaYu 26th May 2012 10:13 AM
Someone could give me the fonts name they used for Koda Kumi pv name or jacket ?

Me too. Summer is not 100% summer without a Summer single & song by Koda Kumi! :S

AyUta 27th May 2012 05:10 PM
I'm not sure how far along she is, but is there any photos of her baby bump yet? :)

Kingdom 27th May 2012 08:15 PM
Since getting engaged I really havent had time to post much.. I still follow Kuu though. I really want some new songs. None.of this Christmas album crap. :No

Kouyou 27th May 2012 09:19 PM
^ Congratulations on getting engaged! :) I agree, I'm not really interested in a Christmas album. I would much prefer a regular album or a single.

happiholic★ 28th May 2012 01:02 AM
I just got home from an animr convention and I must say, I'm really happy~! I just bought the First Press of the Kingdom Tour for very cheap!

adantatu2 28th May 2012 02:25 AM
^ be careful, sometimes they are bootlegs or TW (or HK) presses

Nope, true Japanese press. It plays on my Japanese DVD player. Catalog number is correct, Japanese price in yen, "Made in Japan" stamp and everything. I triple checked. Came in original packaging with the sticker on it.

Gustavopc 28th May 2012 03:39 AM
Envying you so much right now :laugh I wish those things were cheap in anime conventions in my country, but all I find are fake DVDs that cost at least as much as the original one without the shipping tax

It was a super lucky find!! The First Press of Black Cherry and Second Session Tours were there too. As well as Second Session with the Tour DVD. But, I already own BC and I like Kingdom Tours over the other two tours. Not to mention that I haven't seen all of Kingdom Tour's bonus stuff.

EDIT: What was the First Press Bonus for Black Cherry Tour? Kingdom's is just the slip case, as far as I know.

Gustavopc 28th May 2012 12:03 PM
I know that Black Cherry Tour had a shinny cover, similar to TRICK Tour, but I don't know if this a first press bonus. My copy also has all those backstage videos, but this probably isn't a bonus as wel...

ommmmmmmg @happiholic seriously are they jp press and first press toooooooo :faint , how's their condition ?

omg i'd pay you to buy me those and love you for the rest of my life :heart

Minttulatte 28th May 2012 05:52 PM
Something's really wrong with me. I haven't been listening to Kuu at all lately. :( Usually I listen to her more or less every day. ._.

Gustavopc 28th May 2012 07:54 PM
I'm still listening at least half of JAPONESQUE everyday :laugh I think I'll never get tired of it

Kouyou 28th May 2012 08:29 PM
^ I know what you mean. JAPONESQUE just gets better and better for me. I still listen to it even now.

Ah, if only I had known. I wouldn't have minded. I don't know who the seller was either. Though, you guys would have to battle over it, lol.

The conditions were all perfect. Like they were never owned. No scratches on the DVDs, played back perfectly.

Actually there is no First Press, you could buy a limited and a regular version of Black Cherry Tour.
The Limited Edition has a own glitter cover, the same like TRICK Tour just as Gustavo said. The contents are the same for both.
Ah, and the Limited Edition was a bit cheaper than the regular one.

Limited cover left, regular one right:


I just did a list yesterday with all of Kuu's releases, limited, first press and all, so that I can see what I'm missing and don't buy anything double
(which already happended - it's not that easy if you're collection gets too big, haha).
Black Cherry Tour was also the first tour I preordered the time it came out. :)

Limited editions are listed as different versions, FP stands directly behind every version. If releases were limited, it says so in caps behind.
I added all different versions, but I didn't include FC goodies you get by buying form the FC mu-mo shop.
I don't know if anything is right for the older stuff. e.g. for real Emotion CD Japan lists a FF special case, but I've never seen that.
From BEST~third universe~ exists a fourth version, if I remember right from a karaoke company. But I don't remember for sure, so I just wrote company edition. It's the one with the strawberry cover.

Hope it's useful for you. :)

I believe this is the one from Anime Extreme from Chinatown. I was planning to buy it since last year, but I was always like: "next time, next time..." and you bought it. Shame on me. lol

Delicious n Bold 29th May 2012 06:19 PM
^ I was gonna buy that tour lol! I got Trick from Anime Xtreme for 29.95 for the CD/2DVD version. I was like "LOLWUT" so I got it. They had Koda Kumi but NO Ayu... I was disgusted. At anime north, I saw Namie Amuro's Best Fiction, and I said "where's my ayu? They got namie and a WHOLE album chock full of Koda's ballads that i just adore......" lol needless to say I was sad.

But i'll go back and snatch Secret soon... soon...

happiholic★ 29th May 2012 07:52 PM
I'm so bad. Buying up the DVDs you guys wanted. There was another tour, I think it was Live Tour 2006-2007: Second Session, but I don't think it was Japan Press. I'm going to visit that shop soon.

EDIT: Are there any more people from Toronto on AHS? I wanna know where you guys are going to get your J-Pop fixes. When I'm in Toronto I'm usually in clothing stores.

jean-baptiste 29th May 2012 09:49 PM
Can anyone give me a link to where I could download Kuu's albums? The ones around the forum aren't working?

I want those Tour DVDs.

General Question: Nothing from Black Cherry onward had any super special bonus stuff like the Best Tours booklet or extra performance, right?

I've never seen this cover before. It's a lot better than the covers for limited and regular editions imo. :)

MsMiyabi 30th May 2012 07:12 PM
I also have some koda kumi tour and anation good I think I made a thread here with pics I have to see if I can find it.

EDIT: Are there any more people from Toronto on AHS? I wanna know where you guys are going to get your J-Pop fixes. When I'm in Toronto I'm usually in clothing stores.
Sometimes I go to Pacific Mall at Steeles and Kennedy. They have a store with authentic HK and JPN presses of many artists (ayu included). I got the Rule/Sparkle CD/DVD JPN press there. Problem is, the albums are all HK press... Me no likey. I want Japanese press... Other than that, Anime Xtreme seems to love Koda Kumi long time. I don't know anywhere else to buy JPop in this city... It's infuriating at times to have to resort to online buying. BUT the Japan Library Foundation at Bay/Bloor has some selections of JPop. The Ayu that they have is all JPN press (but they only have A BEST, GUILTY and sunrise/sunset CD/DVD).

I've been to P Mall enough times, and I really only ever see HK press, and I'm like you, I want Japan press. I'm making my best friend take me to Anime Extreme now, since its close to her school, apparently? I will have to check out this Japan Library.

ALfromHELLSING 1st June 2012 05:52 AM
I only know these two places and only buy Japan press too. Anime Extreme had Kumi's discs (pretty much everything you've mentioned), and I believe I saw one Namie's DVD and M. Nakashima best al. I wanted to buy some VG OSTs there, but everything is HK press there as well. Never bought a single JPop cd in Toronto. lol Always use CD Japan for that.

I saw Ayu's 2011 Calendar @ PM. It was end of the year and price was $40 (tax incl). I was like wow drop the price and I'm getting it. It's no longer there, though. They have a lot of Jp magazines there, but I'm not really interested them.

Hm...I own almost all that stuff, I'm missing just few things. XD
That's why I made that list, so that I'm able to concentrate on getting those.
I already spend soooo much money on Kuu that I can make my Kuu collection full. :)

Luja. 1st June 2012 09:46 AM
^ looking at some member's collection lists here I always wonder how much they're worth in total...:laugh

KuuXAyu-fan 1st June 2012 09:55 AM
Its finally June. Hopefully Kuu's delivery is sometime this month. <3

maze 1st June 2012 10:34 AM
yes :luv2 I'm so curious about baby kuu. pregnancy is obviously not doing good for her but I hope everything goes well. fans are already giving her presents for the baby (even if they don't know the sex yet? lol)
