Her and i have same favorite colors.:D Also i dont drink and smoke. Actually i have breathing problem that makes it so i have to cover my nose and mouth when passing by someone that is smoking. Anyways, thats cool. But with drinking I only have an occasional drink of wine or something around a special occasion. I don't get drunk or nothing.

There anymore news on the new single yet?

new thread already? Time flies when you're having fun :laugh

lol the last thread was filled in 10 days XD

New album already? so soon.

Do you think it will be a brand new album? Or maybe a remix album?

^i find the remix driving hits were cheaper than a regular album, so its probably a compilation.

BEST ~fourth lollipop~



Just kidding. I think it's going to be Kuu's personal choice compilation, containing walk and other songs she likes and are important to her the most.
Personally I wouldn't mind album featuring others covering her songs:innocent

@KarenPang: i knew about the calendar, but thanks for posting. I'm waiting for Ayu's to be posted up as well. I'm gonna order them both together in the same order.

ahaha BEST ~fourth fantasy~ ... wait... UNIVERSE was release this year wasnt it?

Maybe it will be BOUNCE & LOVERS 2. Hopefully with better song selection, I mean wtf no feel, Yume no uta, or KAMEN on the first one?

^ OMG YES B&L 2 :luv2 I'm not a fan of KAMEN but Ynu and feel must definitely be there! But if it's a one version... We wouldn't get supa hot and fierce dance versions of her PVs T^T

I kinda want to see a complete coupling songs compliation
imagine from debut single to the latest one :D that'd be sweeeet

Koda Kumi Kueen of Kuupilation Albums! :laugh

^ Do you want me to quote you once again? :laugh


It's going to contain only one disc, so it's impossible. KUUMPLETE it's not going to happen. :( (:P)

i'm very curious to see what the new album is gonna be!

Ugh no compilation album again plz. No BOUNCE & LOVERS 2, no Driving Hit's 3, no BEST ~fourth ____~. Just release a regular album kthxbai

^^ +1 definatelyy

i hope it's actually a single.. maybe.. i don't know i'm tired of compilations. i want new material <3

I still have hopes that it could be a new (mini) album. That would be so cool!
I guess Kuu is able to bring enough new and good songs till Octobre with her crew.
Or maybe it's a live compilaion album or something like that.

Serious question... besides b-sides which I don't think will all fit on one disc, what else could she possibly compile? :laugh

I'm with NintendoHTF1242 on this! New original album only, please!

UNIVERSE was just released in February! You guys are so greedy :laugh

She can do the unexpected and release a compilation album of her cute songs? CUTIE is LIFE! ~kawaii long time~ and include 12 cute songs or something lol.

If they do release another compilation, it'll be like the A COMPLETE nonsense all over again. Just milking fans because of an anniversary (although I love A COMPLETE). But Kumi just had a compilation album at the BEGINNING of the year...

That's such a good idea, but I don't think it would be a big seller.

Hopefully it's not. I doubt it because didn't someone say it was only 1 disc?


Going back to our discussion about CDs I was thinking last night what if instead of CDs the whole USB thing caught on. I mean it would be kinda neat cause you'd get a neatly designed flash drive plus an actual physical case and booklet (unlike if you download from itunes or w/e), you'd get all the PVs, plus they could design some kind of cool looking UI to play the music and videos. And instead of mp3s they could put the music in a higher quality format like FLAC or AAC.

You'd be surprised... :mini

If they made a Kumi USB, I'd be forced to buy it~ D:

a Kumi USB stick .... that would be interesting.

I wonder what it would look like.....

It would be in the shape of a *****.

oh hell yeah :lech

How about a Fans Favorite Collection compilation?

^ So they should have made an Internet poll (at least in official FC site) months ago ;)

Piano version of you was on BOUNCE & LOVERS. :P I wouldn't mind other version of feel.

Even if it's compilation album, (K Ballads, or sth) I'd love her to make PVs for some old songs. Kumi, don't let it be just old stuff packed with nice cover, something new attached (maybe a concert) is a must! They say 1 CDonly version, right? Sounds boring .__.

along with some info about the tie-in for anata dake ga!

So, I've been listening to some of Kuu's older albums lately, and I think I just realized, after literally SIX YEARS of listening to it, that in "SHAKE IT", when she covers ICE CUBE's song, she's actually saying the original lyric, "I can do it put your ass into it" instead of what I THOUGHT she purposely changed it to, which was "I can do it put your ARMS into it".... I thought she changed it so she wouldn't be saying a "bad word", but I think now I've realized she didn't do this and actually says "ass", yes? :D :laugh Which makes so much more sense considering the song's title...

^Well at the beginning of Hot Stuff, KM-MARKIT raps "to the mother ******* F" or something like that, so its not like she hasnt had swearing in her songs before.

I know, which didn't make sense why I thought she seriously changed it! It was just a matter of misheard lyrics due to her Engrish I guess... I just thought it was funny that I only realized it after six years of listening to that song.

I don't want another compilation, but a new studio or mini-album is almost impossible, so who knows.

I actually would rather she didn't release an album until next year. I'm quite content with her just releasing the new single & UNIVERSE tour.

so that second virgin drama got confirmed after all! :laugh NHK's dramas aren't the most popular, but at least it's a drama tie-in, i guess.

I don't want a compilation or a remix album too! A good old album please

I find that all the swearing on a Kuu song is in English, no?

Does seem like it. I think even most dirty words in her sexual songs are in english too. :P

I really hope for B-side compilation :heart , And maybe it's a re-recorded version of affection :P

oh just had this pointed out on HoneyFlash by "Love Shine", but did anyone else notice that are nails are bare and normal on the single covers? She hasnt decorated them.

The first time I saw her real nails was in her 08 Scandal , Old days :laugh

Huh? That's odd. I'm Love Shine on both AHS and Honey Flash, but I haven't posted in ages...

SHAKE IT has a cuss word in Japanese. look at the translation, it's nasty! xD

Proof please! :innocent

second this. :innocent:lech

I doubt it, there are no swears in japanese.:yes

There are probably none that would equal the intense English ones, but I think they do exist. They can just be translated into something minor.

^Yeah, I don't think it's swearing, so much as... strong emotional language.

There are plenty of ways to swear in Japanese ;D They may sound less intense to non-J-speakers, but they can carry the same intensity.

I also don't think that album will feature anything new, but I don't really care, 'cause if it's a compilation I ain't buying it XD

Oh oops. Double checked. My apologies. Was "~Subarashi.Hakumei~" that posted that comment on HoneyFlash. I was switching back and forth between tabs SO much yesterday I must've gotten mixed up. Sorry.

It's okay. I was just a little confused.

Seriously, Looks All Totally Awesome! And all the outfits all look completely brand new and very original. Also very elaborate show by looks of it!!! I SOO WANT IT NOW!!

^i like the first one more than the second, but theyre both reall pretty. what're these for?

^ Hair cosmetics advertisement (I don't remember brand's name)

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q...amipromo03.jpg
Seems kinda fake lol

^^ What the... with her eyes o.O

is that kuu in your avatar? her hair is so.. ayu-ish!

That's why I said the "fake" thing lol xD

^^ It's mash-up of Ayu and Kuu :lech
http://zyrex.org/gallery/Ayumi1/Ayum...05xy9.jpg.html

No, I want to see have the shape of her a__. Her a__ is more attractive than her b______.

Her upper body is getting old in the way that she always performs Cutie Honey and shows them obviously but not her a__.

^ maybe the final pose from Butterfly perfs? :lech

^
The music is decent. It would be better if it was sang by just 1 person.

The DMP live report is just like what Gubsi & me had shared before (but it's in Japanese :laugh)

I can't play THX A LOT :( But honestly I'm not really interested with the idea. I can't stand those squeaky voice from other singers..

She got like... 2 lines max? ＾＾；；

I think she looks so hot though!

thanks! btw, do you have a bigger version of your avatar? and did you make it? I would love to see if you did any more because I love your Kuu stuff!

THX A LOT sounds ok, I actually thought it would be much worse. :laugh
But I agree with Tsubasa, the song doesn't fit Kuus voice.
Nevertheless I'm sure it will be a lot of fun live! All those artists together!

I need Suki de x3 PV soon!!

According to Hikki-kun @ JPM Suki de³ was played in full on the japanese radio today!
I'm praying somebody recorded it!

I've been given this shampoo, conditioner and some "treatment" (what can this be?) sample in Hiroshima some time ago, I just realized it's the brand Kumi will advertise XD Now I'll be happy to try it even more :)

omg yayness

I really hope someone did so , Marika . I want to hear Suki de x3 too

I'm probably the only one that hasn't got around in hearing the preview for it yet :laugh

Hikki-kun heard it while buying his dinner in Japan, so he couldn't record it, that's a pity. ;_;
We must have faith somebody else it.

YesAsia's description of Suki de , Suki de , Suki de. / Anata Dake Ga

Approaching the 10th anniversary of her debut single release, Japanese pop diva Koda Kumi releases her third single of 2010, the double A-side release Sukide, Sukide, Sukide/Anata Dake Ga. The former song is a touching ballad that guarantees to be as touching as her previous hit ballad Ai No Uta, while the latter will be used as the theme song for the NHK drama Second Virgin, starring Suzuki Kyoka. The single's B-side song is a new, re-recorded version of Kumi's walk ~ to the future~ , which she often perform at concerts.

link is also up to preorder her 2011 calendar on YesAsia too

http://www.yesasia.com/global/koda-k...0-en/info.html

c'monnnn... I want to hear to the full thing!! :(

THX A LOT sounds okay.

I wanna hear Suki de D:

I really wanna see the PV for Suki dex3!

I can't wait for Suki de x3 but I think I'm more excited for Anata dake ga... it's so R&B totally reminds me of No Way or something!

I have a question for you guys. If you all could have only 1 Koda Kumi song what would you pick?

I would choose Lick me♥. It was the first Kuu PV I saw (I thought it was really funny) and the first song that I liked.

^definitely TABOO!! a good dedication to the gay community.:D

Also, just awesome song all around with awesome lyrics and R&B sound.

^^ you mean we could have... in our music player or something?

Someday, my favorite Kuu song:heart I have such a soft spot for jazzy sounding, acoustic songs. My favorite songs of my favorite artists are usually in that style :laugh Ayu, BoA, everyone :laugh Arrangement and her voice is so wonderful here *.*

That's so difficult >.< I looooove both Driving and No Way, but I'd pick Driving.

I would pick TABOO

Suki de x3 (Full ver radio rip)
