well aren't you just totally awesome :heart
|
This opening post owns my life. Saved the banner.
|
Oh, I've been missing that "Koda Kumi Sekai" thing on the thread title/opening post so much XD It's also very true since Kuu threads are always like their own little world here. At least to me~ :heart
And I watched Dejavu Tour finally last weekend. It was awesome. I was distracted a few times because I wanted to write so I have to watch it again when I have more time but I did cry a lot while watching ballad section. Kuu's ballads are the best imo. I can't wait to hear some JAPONESQUE lives in November. I'm sure she's gonna sing some songs from that album. ^^ |
KK Sekai, OMG, wait till some hardcore Ayufans see this :laugh
|
KODA KUMI SEKAI AHAHHAH!!

Koda Kumi Sekai :heart I love the title!
|
Are there official lyrics to "Teaser" ? When I searched google they just didn't seem correct.
|
hhahahaahhaa I love the title! XD!!!
|
^I love your signature. :D I got so shocked when I saw that PV for the first time lol. I didn't expect anything like that haha. x3

Can I be annoying and ask, is the banner on the OP supposed to be flushed left? Or is it center with the rest of the text? |
^^thanks, mermaid kumi is :heart :heart
That witch is so hilarious, XD |
her outfits :luv2
would soo cosplay the mermaid kuu. I can't wait til my hair gets that long. I love her castle dress. She makes everything fun. |
That banner owns my soul. Great opening post. :yes
|
It's funny how she is looking more and more like Ayu. Or they both are becoming such plastic caricatures of their former-selves and aiming for this impossible standard of Americanized beauty...?
|

I don't think she's looking more and more like ayu...at least not just now...
I remember in the past, looking at a pictures of kuu and for a fraction of a second being unsure if they were ayu or her lol I think we had a discussion about it once. |
Yeah I don't know about those lyrics. It's plausible since the Engrish doesn't really need to make sense to be correct but that "Rat-ta-ta" just sounds wrong. I swear I hear something about "so move your body" not "move it like that rat-ta-ta"

Ayu is looking lot a hot mess lately...
Kuu...not so much. If anything, she's like wine and gets better with age haha. I can definitely see the "American" thing more with Ayu though, what with the contacts and outfits and what not. |
I don't want to discuss about that...damn comparison.
I love Kuu as a mermaid *O* |
I love Kuu the most, but I really love Ayu's brihgt style this year.
So don't start a fight again^^ |
Is this version of Brave like a real PV? Like Love goes like... or Lick me♥ (Special version), I'm just wondering because I wanna know if I can put the video in a "PVs" folder. lol
Btw, the editing... We can see the green screen. lol https://p.twimg.com/ArAq1WPCEAAjbp4.jpg |
Quote:
But to move back on topic, Kuu looks really pretty in the video. Haha I didn't even notice the green screen, but that's really funny. I can't wait to see what she'll have in store when she returns after her mini-hiatus from lives and what not. I want to see pics of the baby when it comes! lol, I doubt we will though |
Quote:
I'm so excited,too about the new stuff after her pregnancy. I would love for her to regain mass popularity like Namie did! |

nicee |
^Haha that was awesome! They're very good. :)
|
I don't think that Kuu's or Ayu's new styles are necessarily "American". I just think both women are following the current trends in Japan with the eye contacts and such. I originally thought the contacts had a western influence, but they've evolved to become very unrealistic-looking, not western at all.

at least kuu looks like an actual person most of the time.
can't say that for namie, and especially not ayu. |
I love Ayu, but most of the time she looks like a plastic doll. Especially since they started to use too much photoshop on her beautiful features which made her look unrealistic in my eyes and I hate that. Kuu on the other hand has always looked more natural (same goes for Namie imo).
But I anyhoo, back on praising Kuu to the heavens. I wonder if she's going to release a new single before her comeback live. I hope that if it happens, it's gonna sell like MOON did, for example, and she'd have a huge kick ass comeback like Namie had. ^o^ |
I would love for Kuu to be the comeback kid. She needs it. Namie's was very successful in part to her change in musical direction for her [60s70s80s] single and killer promo that slayed for days. If Avex cared enough to step their game up, Kuu could achieve similar results.
Overall Kuu's recent offerings don't sound fully evolved from her previous releases to me. Of course there are a few exceptions. But this is my humble opinion. ;) |

I just finished watching Dejavu tour. Not my favourite but its a great tour. I'm sure this has been answered before, but does anyone have a translation for what Kuu says when she comes out in the black dress at the end while the credits are rolling? Much appreciated! ^_^
|
I think both have different target market..
ayu's aims more to teenagers and gyaru type of girls, meanwhile kuu's more to office female workers (well, you can't wear colorful contact lenses at the office) I need new songs!! |
Quote:
|
happiholic★, that's how I see it as well.
I just can tell for sure for Edge Style, cause I'm reading that regularly. Ayu even is often before Kuu in those polls there, so I don't know if saying she's sporting the younger Gyaru crowd is right... Ayu has the Diva image as well as Kuu. Though Kuu has a different appeal and compared to Ayu Kuu wears the gyaru style also privately. While Ayu prefers not wearing make up, having her hair just simple and short and wearing rock influenced and simpler clothes most of the time. At least on her self posted twitter photos and so on. I've read in some comments in the net about the Kuu lenses that people want a nail line. I'm so for it! Something I'd use myself. That's also something I expect to see from her and not lenses. :laugh |
The reason contact lenses are such a craze in Japan is for the 'dolly' look, not to be western. Hence why in Asia to have porcelain white skin is also a trend. The fashion is revolved (especially in Japan) around looking like living dolls. :) It's the craze for girls in Japan, which is why Ayu also has the 'doll' look. (Which I personally quite love her style of late, not the photo-shopping, but love her fashion style) It's been the trend in Japan for a very long time.
Which is why western girls like dakotakoti on YT become famous rather quick in Japan, because they look so much like dolls, which the Japanese consider beautiful. The Japanese also love natural beauty. They even have dentists now that puts people's teeth back to being wonky, and more natural (Japanese and British people tend to naturally have wonky teeth). I think the Gyaru audience are probably most of the girls who love the dolly fashion. Since both Ayu and Kuu have a good Gyaru audience, it makes sense for them to make lenses. :) I'd love to see a nail line from Kuu! I was actually thinking that the other day, haha. It would be cool to see some cosmetic products from Kuu too, and a life-style book like Ayu. :D |
^ werent Koda Shiki and Koda Reki life-style books?
|
I agree many gals are inspired by Kuu. back in her top-time, in 2006, when Kuu was everywhere, there were so many looks inspired by her. remember during Koi no Tsubomi she wore her hair in a bun a lot of time and coloured a certain way? I have seen scans of that time with many tutorials for this hair. also, and a top and long skirt. and many more. really
I think Kuu make-up is typical mature gyaru (onee-gal), just without circle lens. here's a scan of just new Happie nuts and my all-time fav model Yui Minemura make-up :) I think it looks very Kuu. natural type. not to mention smoky eye & dark eyemake :D http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/699...2se1qae39y.jpg |

Gyaru conversation is up again. :D Brings back memories when I claimed so hard Kuu wasn't a gyaru. -.-' Oh well, I really love Kuu's gyaru fashion more than Ayu's. I've always loved more these sexy styles anyway than overly cute ones. XD

The tutorial posted is so beautiful, I am actually going to try it out :) |

I think Kuu is more popular among those who like hip hop more than rock, too. Like, if you asked someone who was B-Kei (different style than gyaru, focused on hip hop style) who they liked better, I'm sure they would say Kuu. If Kuu did a nail line, I don't want the nails to curve the way her nails normally do. I love her nails in the picture of her and Kenji's wedding rings. Those are her best nails, imo. |
^ Can you link me to this picture of their rings?! I totally missed it!
|
Quote:
Credits to Kumi Flash I know the nails are plain, but I love the shape and the simplicity. I believe the rings are from Bvlgari. |
Got home and here is a picture of the nails from around best first thing that were for sale.

^aww, so pretty ^^ I don't wear false nails but recently I bought a set with lace, these are also great, I like semi-transparent nails like these.

lool that was funny but what stupid reasons for a lot of them. And kumi isn't 30 yet! that complaint should be to Ayu & Namie... trololol (i joke, i think that's a really stupid reason.) and OMG about the little girl! she is soooo cute :|

Just something random but Taiwanese dance girl group (are they a dance group?) S P Y did a routine using part of Koda Kumi's Pop Diva song. It's in the last bit but their whole choreography was freaking awesome.

Well i got an email from Koda Gumi , and accroding to Google translate , in 1st may there will be an important announcement , so let's wait for it :luv2
|
^yey not far away at all~
Quote:
|
When I said I also want a Kuu nail line, I actually didn't mean fake nails only.
I know she already had some single ones (I know 3 pairs), but she should have a line with products all around doing and decorating nails. Cause I'm never using fake nails or tips, I'm for decorating and building on your real nails. That would be so great! I should write her on Koda Gumi about it! :laugh Can't wait to see what they will announce on Koda Gumi! |
Quote:
|
I hope may 1st will be about new music or her new campaign with some cosmetic brand or whatever :)
about the nail line, it would be cool if she did nail stickers, fake nails & nail polishes like Jolin Tsai :D |
I hope this announcement is something related to new songs or her live comeback. I usually don't put high expectation on these things, but I'm so ansious for something new from her that I can't help myself creating a hundrer million awesome ideas :laugh
|
Quote:
Quote:
I hope the announcement is a good one and not that... she decided to take a five year break or something. :( |
It could be the baby's sex, but I hope it is music related.
|
I hope its the announcement of a new single. She's pregnant, but her voice isn't broken lol so I don't see why not?
|
New single announcement please and thank you! :D
I seriously need some new Kuu in my life. A summer single would fill the void. |
I wonder what the announcment will be about? If its about her baby's gender, for some reason I see her having a boy.
|
would they really make an announcement about an announcement of the sex? lol i will be sooo bummed if it's just that XD
|
Maybe she will pull a Flower and release a Kumi-less cover art, PV-less, single. Speaking of, I love Flower, so much. Beautiful song. Deserved better cover art and a cute flower-filled PV.
|
^ totally agree. flower is really lovely <3 I switched the booklet to the cover on my CD so her face is on display lol I really wanted a PV or at least a proper live for it. I know she sang it at a-nation'05 but we only got a snippet :(
|
Quote:
She sang it live for best first things I believe.. :) she even messed up its kinda cute. Ill try to find a link for you :) |
^ OMG you're right!! how could I forget that?! Thank youuuuuuuuu I'm gonna go watch it! XD
|

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80GTmv-jZ0g its amazing avex let it stay on youtube! |

|
I think it will be music related as well
maybe a mini or digital single omg excited!! |
I would love a mini album from Kuu!
|
Her maxi singles are like mini albums, so if she's preparing many tracks, probably it'll be an usual summer single :P I'm hoping for something like MOON: four tracks, two PVs, one of them a ballad
