Since it's a new thread already, I decided to post this right now even it's not ended yet. XD
I saw a thread on ayu's section with all the ayu covers, and since we don't have much scans of Kuu oldest works I had the idea of edit everything I have and make them itunes size(600x600). Most of them were MQ/LQ scans or official wallpaper that I edited and made it exactly like the original covers, so if it's not that much HQ don't complain 'cause I didn't had that much material to work on lol. The US Singles covers are kinda hard to find, and I had to edit a lot... Especially Trust your love. I'll post the albuns and remixes later, okay? Btw there is not tag on any of them :) KODA KUMI - iTunes Covers Missing single covers: - Yume no Uta/Futari CD Only (I actually have this single but I don't have a scanner) - Hands CD+DVD (well, it's there, but MQ) - LOVE & HONEY CD+DVD (the scans for LOVE & HONEY always are too dark, and the original color is more soft. It looks too LQ if I edit the scans...) - Kiseki CD+DVD (I couldn't found a good scan or at least a wallpaper of this photo to remake the cover) - NO TRICKS (some of you guys might not know but NO TRICKS was released digitally, the cover is a photo of Kuu eating a cherry and squeezing her boobs, with the title on the middle in blue. I used to have a MQ photo but I lost when my laptop exploded lol) Missing album cover: - Beach Mix Playbutton (if one of you guys that have the playbutton could make a photo of the cover, I can try to edit... It's my favorite one, so please do it ;-; ) |
In response to emi's question in the last thread, I have no idea :laugh
|
THIS PROMO PICTURE & THESE GOODS ARE AMAZING =)
|
I looked at that picture of Kuu with her tour goods and was SO confused for, like, a split second--I was like, "What is A BEST doing with all of Kuu's Japonesque stuff???"
:tired |
I can't wait to see this tour!!!!! Finally Japonesque with it's own tour... I can imagine the begining with the "follow me, follow me" thing and all the crowd screaming!
So nice, no man's land, lay down, slow, boom boom boys, escalate, ko-so ko-so, v.i.p, in the air... So much good songs all togheter in one live! (hopefully) Well... it's an arena tour like Universe? or it'll be something like the Dejavu one? |
Those tour posters are so gorgeous :heart
|
|
^This woman looks flawless in every picture :heart
|
^ seriously.
those are amazing edits, kaled. thanks for that! (just shows who is the artist with the best covers :heart) |
I just gave Color the cover another chance. I don't say I don't like it but except for first three songs none else touched me after first listening but right now I just love the 4,5,6 a lot, especially One more time, One more chance, it's going to be amazing live, hopefully she'll perform it!
There's sth about 情熱 and One more time, One more chance that makes them similar, maybe it's how the lyrics in chorus repeat, but I feel like they are related in slightly similar way to Futari de / Yume no uta, just slightly :p btw, 情熱 = Jōnetsu ? |
yes, that is Jounestsu, which means passion. ^.^
also, thank you for the 600x600 covers! koda kumi's covers are so strange (alot of them are vertical on the covers) that is is hard to make 600x600 without making them squished or cutting off important information. you did a great job, will totally use them when i update my KK discog! |
color the cover actually suffers from the love again syndrome with me. i'm super hyped for it, but i got pretty bored with it quickly. it makes me sad, since i know it's not a BAD album. i still can't stand her "pink spider" cover, though. i actually think that's the worst song in her discography -- and i loathe "melting" lol. i'm not a hide fan in the slightest, but the cover just doesn't really do anything for me and then i found out that since some people associate it with his suicide it seems a little awkward that she'd cover it and make a pv out of it with call girls? idk. kuu is kuu and i'll always love kuu no matter what, but this is one thing that hits a very sour note with me.
i just need driving hit's 5 nao. |
^ See I'm the opposite. I think Pink Spider is one of the best songs in her discography ^^
|
^same~
Personally, I think most albums get boring for me after a few listens, unless they are like, the most amazing gems, and I tend to be really really picky...so I'm happy I never really suffer from that. I'm always so euphoric from receiving like one major song that I love from every album. I'm still riding the Jonetsu amazingness wave. The posters :heart I love her Pidgeot hair too in the blue one lol But the red one is perfect. You know, I never really noticed how pronounced her dimples are...I think they're cute. Can I plastic surgery those onto my face. I wonder if they'd look good hahaha |
BAHAHAH. Pidgeot hair.
I'm not a fan of Pink Spider, but I doesn't hit any bad notes with me due to its link with hide. Is it not fan speculation that it had something to do with his death? Kuu seems to like hide if she choose to cover his song, and perhaps she doesn't feel that way. She can't please everyone. And even if it was linked to his death, I've always found Kuu's sexiness to be empowering. Considering that her brand of sexiness isn't all that popular in Japan, I've always seen her as kind of an outlaw/rule-breaker, what-have-you. And that's how I've always seen the Visual genre. People who don't really follow the mainstream, the alternative crowd. |
kaled, I have some of those covers you couldn't find in HQ but they are 600x600 and some of them have that white border already on like LOVE & HONEY + Kiseki CD+DVD. I have hands CD+DVD in HQ but I can't remember if it has the white border on and I have most of her early covers in HQ too, I'll post them later today.
What are the other Yume no Uta/Futari de covers from? I can only recognise the first two. Never knew NO TRICKS had a cover as well I really want to see it :yes |
I love her with long hair,hope she keeps them for the tour!
|
I had no idea NO TRICKS was a digital single! :O I've never seen those covers either. Hopefully they surface from somewhere at some point. I'd like to see those. :)
|
Thank you howtousesexy, I really want them!
JAPONESQUE Tour Setlist: Spoiler:
Credits: kiのtrumpet@baidu I'm not impressed at all, especially by the remix medley. |
what? my 4 favs in one medley, pure awesomeness. Oh and Lady Go, it's been a long time <3 I'm so sad I won't get to see this :'(
|
alright brb crying cuz I love this setlist, there's not a single song there I dislike
Plus I think it's safe to say she perfomed that rock live version of Blingx3, right? Otherwise it wouldnt fit that setlist lol And those medleys, and KO-SO-KO-SO, and Sayonara no mukouagawa :thud |

JUICY remix :heart
Can't wait to see No Man's Land! |
Quote:
There's some photos of the concert here. |
Quote:
sadly the hands CD+DVD cover had the stupid border on :( Spoiler:
Bonus: Spoiler:
I'm pretty happy JUICY made it onto the setlist, but I hate how its in a medley, hopefully that remix is good assuming its not the same as the one on DH4. I'm surprised Go to the top didn't make it on, and a little dissapointed with Lay Down not making it either. |
Shame about Lay Down but otherwise I really like the setlist :yes
(where are those DH5 previews dammit >___> ) |

|
is that setlist already true????
because it's absolutely amazing!! I don't know why but I'm pretty sure No man's land performance it's going to be epic. Anyway... I assume before So Nice it's going to be the introduction, because it's perfect for a live intro! |
so far the tour seems pure awesome,it got Boom Boom Boys and Shake Hip! absolutely amazing for me, look at these outfits!really atmospheric, but no real super sexy outfit this time, really, Kuu? :)
|
Those kimono outfits are awesome! I think there should be few more outfits not in those unofficial pictures.
|
the tour setlist is pretty awesome! i'm happy that kuu performed "Lay Down", "ESCALATE", "V.I.P.", and "So Nice". :)
|
Quote:
Really happy with how the setlist came out! Except no Lay Down and Love Technique. Was also kinda hoping to see Otoko. But oh well, a 30-song setlist is still pretty awesome. |
In that pic with the yellow kimono is she flying?
|
I wonder if Kuu will perform Lay Down at a-nation this year then. That would be awesome :3
|
Missing Lay Down and Love Technique
|
^ That sucks. Two of my faves from JAPONESQUE :cry
|
Asides from missing 'Lay Down' and 'Love Technique', I am so excited by the setlist! I had a fangasm when I saw it. Both the medley setlists make me very happy :D I'm so glad older classics like D.D.D and Lady Go! (One of my fav kuu songs) are on there! I'm not so fussed about Ai Wo Tomenaide being in the first segment inbewteen all the sexy fast pace songs (would have thought it would have been in the ballad segment..) but apart from that I love this setlist so much, I am so looking forward to this tour. :D <333
I know this image has been posted before, but I just adore kuu's hair in this picture! :love http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...26601536_n.jpg It's so gorgeous, I hope she wears it like that more often. It almost looks like it's dip-dyed a lighter blonde on the bottom, so so pretty. <33 |
^ I didnt realise there were extensions! They look amazing :heart
|
Quote:
She couldn't fit Love Technique into a cutesy section?! She always has one :/ It'll be fun to have DDD. But I hope Lay Down doesn't end up being like Shake It and we never get performances :weep |
The encore is so lame
|
The only bad thing about this setlist is that we'll have to wait for too long to see it >o<
|
No Lay Down, no love from me.
|
Quote:
SHAKE IT? she performed it like two times at secret first class and trick tour I'm also surprised there is no cutesy section this time... would have loved one with Love Technique, Lovely, Shake Hip!, Whatchu Waitin' On?, etc etc kaled kalil:: I think I have a FC wallpaper of the Beach Mix picture you want. let me look for it (: |
Quote:
We probably have like 20 performances of walk and maybe half that of bling bling bling. She could have had a rock version of Lay Down right there...Or before Boom Boom Boys... I'm excited for the rock section though. They're never my favorite songs, but her performances are always impressive. Like when she hung upside down :D |
^ I get your point, better example is JUICY though. that dance medley at the japonesque tour is probably like the show girl medley from trick tour

@howtousesexy: WOW Thank you so much! Love across the ocean looks way more cool when you can see the liquid that she's in! And about Yume no Uta, most of them aren't real covers, they're on the booklet, but since the idea of the single was about change to the cover that you want, I put all of them.
@maze: Looking forward! My problems with the setlist: no cutesy part (LT and WWO should be there), D.D.D. as second song again (it's the third time, Kuu. You're repeating this as much as the name Believe for a song...), no Lay Down / Go to the top / Dou ni mo Tomaranai / "Otoko". I don't really care about JUICY live, it's probably that remix from Driving Hit's 3, which it's not that great, and we will only listen her singing OH OH JUICY WOW and then it's Hot Stuff already lol |
Okay, even though there is no Lay Down or Go to the Top, the outfits look amazing. This tour is shaping up to be pretty epic.
|
oh no I really hope it's not like Juicy! lol
and omfgojnwfnfdewdlk how is she fabulous. I only don't like the white one. But it's all colorful and I like her hair. The blue one! The skirt! oh. What great designer decided on layering it like that. I'm dead. I love it. And the oiran outfit. I can't even. That lace over the other outfit reminds me of beni~ I really like how her graphic artists have been giving us that style of mixing the photos with illustration too. Chica keeps me happy. |
In the name of Mama Kumi..
We, Koda children (Koda Gubsi, Koda Corvina and Koda Lee^Chan) as the representatives of Koda big family.. will enjoy the whole concert for you :heart We'll be back with review!! |
Noooo!!! No Love Technique! :bawl It's the perfect-est cutesy song there is!!!
And I thought she was standing on something in the pic with her in the kimono....till I saw those were just her shoes O_O |
^ MY GOD I HADNT REALISED IT :thud
|
do not understand all that international fanbase whining about the tour
it looks so perfect, God bless mama Kumi for making it exactly Japonesque tour, not anything else |
I wonder if they're mitsu-ashi or Okobo?
I WANT HER SHOES. I CAN FINALLY BE TALL. |

The only thing I wish right now is to transform into a stinky fly just to be able to see and enjoy JAPONESQUE tour :weep

Now that was one very good concert!
Kuu looked stunning and very happy indeed. She did so many things on stage! Like acrobatics. Like dancing and singing wasn't enough already. Oh Mama Kuu... Naturally all parts was good but the rock part was beyond great. I'll leave the rest of the reviews for the other guys, but it was a great concert. Loved al outfits except from that blue layered dress. Not my coup of tea if you say so. |
^ I'm glad you had a great time! Can't wait to the reviews from the others.
|
I think I won't read those reviews because I will get spoiled and I hate that so much since it's Kuu we talk about and I tend to remember everything that's connected to her haha XD
//I'm surprised that DRIVING HIT'S 5 hasn't leaked yet since it's released on Wednesday, or am I remembering the release date wrong? :O |
the JAPONESQUE tour outfits are very nice! kuu looks stunning in that kimono & she looks very cute in that blue dress, too! :heart

it was amazing, the rock part was the best one! just the interlude movie story wasn't that good... a bit funny but thats all... and the ballad section was not boring, but it was ok... the opening section wasn't overwhelming BUT really decent and fab!! Spoiler:
so i had a great time with my girls here and yeah good night i'm so tired and my flight is tomorrow in the morning! night huns |
^^ hah your soul? I'm selling my body :laugh

Halli Hallo...
Review~ *i'm dead tired, too much singing and dancing* Spoiler:
Oh and yeah.. It's worth to buy the ninja scroll (I mean pamphlet) you need 5 mins to scroll it back :laugh so pretty and classy! Light stick is also cute.. Koda Kuma inside the lantern.. Oh god I'm dead.. bye~ |
That white dress for a dancing part? Kinda weird, I thought it was for the Ballad section, which is also weird for having only one outfit.
|
Quote:
so far nothing on yesasia, they are so selective about artists' goods :rolleyes |
Thanks for your reviews, Gubsi & Lee^ChaN! :heart
|
Thanks for your reviews :D
I cant believe she played DRUMS omg omg I took like two drum classes and gave it up cause I was also taking drawing classes, but I still LOVE drums and find them so amazing and everything :heart The first section also seems promising, cant wait for D.D.D. re-arranged :love After I get that pamphlet, I'll be already starting to save some money for the tour BD :laugh |
Lots of new arrangements, it seems exciting! Thanks for the reviews, guys!
Kuu made it into a poll asking about singers with the sexiest voices. Info at Arama. One of only two females on the list. You go, Kuu! |
That scroll is absolutely amazing. Wow.
|
|
I'm already trying to sell my kidneys for those posters...
What do I have to sell to get that scroll?! :thud |
I need a Japanese sugar daddy.
|
Quote:
|
^ :yes And when we die, people can just roll us up with that scroll :laugh
|
Ahh the tour outfits look awesome, and by the sound of the setlist arrangements it sounds amazing, I can't wait to see it <3
Although I just realized that 'Go to the Top' isn't in the rock section which does make me sad. ;__; |
I was planning to buy the Color the Cover album, but if the JAPONESQUE pamphlet is sold at YesAsia, I'll get it for sure, CtC will wait ^^

Will DH5 leak out already!??

|
I hope it leaks soon. I really need it in my life♥ Kuu's remix albums are always pure gold~

Driving Hit's 5 / Premium Night poster:
http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3...50x6001363.jpg I hope Premium Night get the 1st spot daily and weekly, but I doubt. There is no promotion at all, not even a CM. |
Kuu's concert DVDs seem to be pretty popular because they always hit #1. I hope Premium Night does that too~
|
ahhhh no driving hits leak yet?!
|
Oh my Lord that scroll is long as hell. Just like how Kuu likes 'em ;D
|
Oh my, I'm back in town!
So happy to be able to wrtie her again! Big, big thanks to nmskalmn who solved my account problem finally! :heart I'm still so overwhemled by the concert yesterday, it was amazing! Even better than expected. And it was great to watch it with MissElin, Lee^chan and Gubsi together! :shughug Going to write my detailed review of the concert now! |
