I enter to Kuuchie Sekai again yey~ <3 I totally love that "Koda Kumi Sekai" idea lol, I don't I've ever said it before but I really love it. :)

I love her calendar this year. I love the idea of magazine covers. Kuu looks gorgeus on every pic imo. I simply love every detail of it. :heart

By the way, does anyone know where I can get UNIVERSE Tour in mp3? I really want to listen to this through too because the tour is amazeness. :)

HOLY CRAP her best calendar yet! I love the shopping cart one.

tenshi no hane 29th October 2010 07:05 PM

the calendar looks great :heart

~~
According to an interview (here), Kumi actually started working on her cover album since 2~3 years ago. There were also songs she tried to cover, but gave up on when she felt that she couldn't make the arrangement better than the original.

And apparently a lot of kids would cry during her previous tours because of the 'scary' clips (XD). So she wanted to try a different approach for her UNIVERSE tour. When she went to a show with clowns she noticed how the audience would laugh because of them, so she was inspired to use more humor in UNIVERSE's tour.

I actually hated TRICK tour clown interlude movies but if japanese loved 'em it the result was UNIVERSE's funny movies then it's okay. I seriously lolled pretty hard at the clips because they were so damn funny. <3

:O You have NOOOO idea on what you're missing because it's just as good as her original albums!!! But it is reported that she will have a new single. But seriously, listen to the cover album!!! It is AWESOME! :luv2 Would you listen to a cover album if ayu released one??? :irked

emi♡ 30th October 2010 11:06 PM

meh....the album is great, and it's so purely koda...


but honestly, there are lots of people who only like certain aspects of koda...and if he isn't say, a ballad or pop koda fan...I wouldn't think he had any use for the cover album either :/

but I still think everyone should give it a listen. I think it shows off a lot of what she's capable of.

you really should download it. it's 100x better than her last couple albums. it restored my faith in her, I was starting to really dislike her until this cover album came out.

Nackar_91 30th October 2010 11:19 PM

Speak for yourself : P

I like it and all, but I don't think anything on it comes even close to the glorious UNIVERSE, Stay, No Way, Physical Thing, ecstacy, TABOO, Driving, Last Angel, BUT, Aishou, MORE etc. etc. etc.

Corvina 30th October 2010 11:38 PM

It's just a matter of taste like with everything else.
UNIVERSE is my favourite Kuu album, it's awesome!
The cover album is really good as well, but I guess it only appeal to people who like older J-Pop and classics in general.

YuriChan 30th October 2010 11:46 PM

it appeals to me though, and I hate older J-pop and classics lol. I even listened to the original songs on the album and thought they were really bad. Kuu's versions are so different to the originals. imo they sound like they could be her original songs.

^Negai??? That would of been interesting to hear! lol BAD COMMUNICATION, BLOWIN', Taiyou no Komachi Angel, or Liar! Liar! would of been better! :D Another thing that would of made the cover album better... Her covering Namie, Utada, and Ayu! :heart:heart:heart

You're the exception then. :D
Kuu did a really good job, all the songs have her own touch, I agree, and the vocals are awesome as well (especially misono's song, I get goosebumps every time I listen to it).
But they are just covers of older songs and that's probably enough for some people to be uninterested.

YuriChan 31st October 2010 12:28 AM

^If Kumi-chan would of covered Amuro-san, then more people would be interested... Am I right? lol

ren'ai 31st October 2010 12:48 AM

^I'd have loved her to cover any Namie song from her recent albums <3

NintendoHTF1242 31st October 2010 02:53 AM

I wanna see Kuu cover Body Feels EXIT. Call it Body Feels EXIT ~juicy bottle kuuchie poppin' 2010 ver.~

The cover album is really good as well, but I guess it only appeal to people who like older J-Pop and classics in general.

I'm another exception I guess. I haven't heard any of those songs before and I'm not planning to. I just generally don't like listening to old music.

But on the other hand the cover album is really awesome

I don't think I'm the only exception.. I've seen plenty of people loving the album who don't seem to care for oldies either. most of the songs just don't have that super old sound anymore in kuu's versions, so it's pretty understandable to me why people would love them even if they don't care for old j-pop songs. but yeah, people might not want to give it a chance because of the album being full of covers of old songs, but they should know these songs are not identical to the original songs. they have been modified and perfected by kumi, imo. if kuu's version of BE MY BABY sounded identical to this I'd hate it. but it's been turned into a hot kumi dance song :luv2

YuriChan 31st October 2010 03:26 AM

^The only ones I like are SWEET MEMORIES and Megumi no Hito (the originals, anyway)! :) I wasn't too fond of Kumi's cover of SWEET MEMORIES... It wasn't sweet enough. :weep

SWEET MEMORIES is one of my favorites. it's perfectly sweet to me! her lives of it were adorable too.

YuriChan 31st October 2010 03:43 AM

^Yeah, it's sweet enough... I guess my problem is that it's a tad faster than the original.

Of course. I just find most of kumi's ballads to be very...blahhhhh. I only like a few, like hands, Rain, Moon crying (sort of), futari de...,

emi♡ 31st October 2010 04:23 AM

^lol, you should still listen to it.

Koda's personal ballads have a certain sound, and the ones on the album are different.


I didn't like any of the originals either, I didn't hear them until after I heard the album though, which I loved.

I just...cant take older jpop pop...it's horrible.

It's not just ballads. Some songs are mid tempo, and they are really good. I love this album!!!!
I did not even preorder it before it was out, coz I was a little worried how it would turn out. But when the leak is out and I download it, I knew I have to have this album! So I end up asking my japanese boss, who happen to return to japan for his meeting to buy for me. I only paid 2000 yen!!

you should at least listen to Megumi no Hito & BE MY BABY cos those are hot hot hot songs and if you like Futari de... you're gonna like her cover of misono's 0 Iji mae no Cinderella.. :heart trust me!

Kingdom 31st October 2010 06:15 AM

Well she put two-three years of work into making the cover album, of course it's perfect :heart but she makes albums perfectly in such a short period of time, imo. I'm glad we aren't getting an album too soon though because I'm still loving universe and now eternity, a new album seems too soon.

Has anyone posted the YouTube link to a fully subbed version of Cherry Girl? I just noticed it today, and thought someone might be interested...

I saw that the other day on youtube and watched it again.

Love her koi no tsubomi ringtone :love and how cute she looked in it.

SEQUEL PLZZZZ. you can't leave it on a cliffhanger like that.

happiholic★ 31st October 2010 06:57 AM

^She could call it Mango Girl or something... I think Cherry Girl is a really underrated song. I really love it. So fun!

Have you listened to Suki de suki de suki de or Anata dake ga!?

She can be hit or miss with ballads... Ai no uta and her last single among others are gold, but Moon crying and Alive for example, I had to get electric shock treatment midway to listen to those completely.

Yep! We did have a Mango Girl in the Lick Me PV! lol

emi♡ 31st October 2010 08:25 AM

I thought so lol

KarenPang 31st October 2010 08:32 AM

Bitter chocolate girl is my fave in the Lick me PV

Kumi looked great in that outfit & also the shoes she wore were *__*

but in terms of ice cream flavour , vanilla is the way to go for me xD

ストロボ・EdGE 31st October 2010 08:35 AM

I hated Mango Girl's wig. She looked like Kimura Kaela, especially with the bus and all.

emi♡ 31st October 2010 09:15 AM

I thought you liked Kaela? Unless I'm thinking of another member.

Nackar_91 31st October 2010 11:26 AM

Even though I prefer her studio albums, I do LOVE the cover album. And yes, I prefer all of these versions over the originals. You have music that ages well, and music that doesn't. Most of the originals haven't aged well, and Kuu succesfully adapted them for a more modern age ^^. IMO.

My favorites are Tattoo, Love is Over, Megami no Hito, Be my Baby and Chiisana Koi no Uta < 3

Cherry Dynamite 31st October 2010 11:36 AM

I love Kuu in costumes but I prefer with less clothes.

Watching Cherry Girl on youtube right now xD

KarenPang 31st October 2010 12:53 PM

Yoake made a textless version of Kumi in the Dec issue of ViVi :)



ok frankly to tell you the truth , the pic has grown on me . I don't find Kumi's facial expression weird as what I did initally x)

waterballoon 31st October 2010 03:43 PM

she looks an angel descending from heaven...

just an invisible fist just punched her in the left eye on her way down :laugh

What the!? Now FNS Kayousai is on a Saturday night!? Well, the past were on the first Wednesday night of December, but that's quite really different there...

(Too bad I don't see Ayu there... Maybe is it because the new album will be releasing out at a range a bit too far?)
