its Up for Cd and Cd+Dvd

Ooh, CD/DVD. Wonder if they'll pull an Ayu on it. It'd be nice, Cutie Honey better be on this thing.

Pulll a Ayumi ?

Put all the PVs from the singles leading up to the album and more on the DVD. o_o

damn...2 months wait..--"

I know thats soo long for now.

Wow great news I know this is going to be better than her sucky feel my mind album....Finally! *parties*....Oh yeah Thanks for the news!

I dunno, I didn't really like the run of singles before this album ("CHASE", "kiseki") so I'll see how it goes.

I think that Koda Kumi has improved a lot , I think all her recent releases ( Kiseki , Chase , Girlish~Selfish ) have been really good. So I'm really looking forward to her upcoming album ! :D

I loved Feel My Mind but she also has a new single up for Cd and Cd+Dvd as well Due the 19th of Jan.

this album will be really good. i'm liking her recent material.
the only thing i am not sure about is the booklet and the cover. i hope Ku puts more clothes on...

Her recent cds has been fine to me. I just want something Cute

thanks for the info!

i'm really looking forward to it. i love her recent songs.

the song was already on Feel My Mind so I doubt they will use it again.

thank god that cutie honey song was crazy!!!! i can't beleive koda did that. I remember thinking i was the only one who felt her style i love her Affection album when i heard So into you that was it and trust your love and take back. Now she has a huge fan base!!!! i am gonna get this album and yeah i agree about Chase it was kinda lame but Heat was better lol

yay, this is soo cool!! Can't wait.

Woohoo! Thanks for the info. Can't wait for more Ku-ness....still waiting for my Girls ~Selfish~ DVD to arrive, and I've already pre-ordered her next single. I hope it's a ballad...I love Ku's ballads.

cutie honey was on feel my mind?
i hav the album but...its not on :(

It was a secret track for the limited editions along with a remix of "yume with you"

now...i really hope "Cutie Honey" is on her new album

Just wondering, does koda kumi compose her own music?

explain ? huh?

I hope it too!

As in she creates the tunes to the the song that she sings, does she? ;)

tinyppl: Kumi does not compose her music, she only composed one tune together with Ikkoman on the DJ Yukata album, titled "Believe". At most, she writes her lyrics.

what he said ^lol she only writes

A lot of news regarding Ku's 4th album (from a Japanese website)...

As already mentioned, it will come in CD and CD+DVD versions.
The album is said to have 16 or 17 tracks, with the ones already known being singles/b-sides:
'CUTIE HONEY', 'Chase', 'Kiseki', 'Selfish', 'LOVE HOLIC', 'SHAKE IT', '24', and the single to be released 1/19/05...

The DVD will contain all the PVs to her singles (including the PVs from girls ~Selfish~).

Also, for the first pressing of the album, the bonus track 'It's a small world' (from the AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS OST) will be included. Also, the album booklet is supposed to be different in the first pressing, I'm not exactly sure how though.

If avex's recycling "CUTIE HONEY", then I find no reason to get "feel my mind". Not even for "magic", which is a brilliant song. I just wish that one got released as a single. But the DVD sounds tempting enough, so maybe I'll get the OS CD+DVD.

Provided she does NOT pull another "feel my mind" booklet. At the rate she's going, however, I'd say unlikely.

Cutie honey was on feel my mind first press cds only. But im not sure about being album I know it gonna be on the dvd.

SHE'S PUTTING ALL OF 'girls~Selfish' ON THE DVD?!?! ARGH I AM PISSED!! I just bought the DVD for like 20 bucks and now it was for nothing ARGH DAMN YOU AVEX!! Anyways I MIGHT consider getting this since LOVE HOLIC and the 'girls~Selfish' songs are on. 'Kiseki' was HORRIBLE, and 'Chase' was okay... nothing special.. cute video though! Maybe I'll just get the Overseas version. Hmm we'll see. I still HATE YOU AVEX! Matsuura you made things WORSE.

I know Avex is Evil lol

Akurei: I know, I was talking about the OS first press. What makes you think I'd spend that much money on Kuu? =P

Its no problem cause I wont spend that much on Ayu =P. Only Ku though and waht u get is what u get not my decision

Frankly, I'm surprised she hasn't put out a best-of yet.

Maybe after this album they will be a best album

Okay...hands down, this album will be mine. =D

I have seriously loved every song she had put out this year, so even if it were a mini-album with just those songs, I would still get it. I've become a HUGE Kumi fan as of late, (grow into one is my favorite album) and have been itching to get a CD of hers. I think this might be the first one...and a DVD? Heck yes!

cool! Lol hope u enjoy it.

its up for Preorder On Cdjapan. Hurry its frist press I order both cd and cd+dvd version.

I think I'll just be getting the CD version since the PVs for 'Kiseki' and 'Chase' were kind of bad... and I already bought 'girls~Selfish' so no point in the DVD. I'm STILL pissed at Avex though... damn bastards! They did this to 'INSPIRE'! Matsuura you deserve to go down!!

but there are more videos on the dvd as well. but Here I have new on her 15th singles in Jan.


Its called Hands.

I won't be getting this new single of course since the PV and songs will most likely be on the album. Gawd I'm hating Avex lately.... *kicks Avex* Ayu and Koda should move to Sony.

why sony ? But anyway I love the covers!

ouuuuu. those covers are hecka nice!
it's cool how they combine both covers.

I like the CD+DVD cover more, so maybe I'll pick that one up. Thanks for the info, Akurei. =)

The cover looks more promising than "feel my mind", hopefully the booklet content won't be too risque.

This is for her new SINGLE I hope you know that ^^;; It's not the album cover.

and Sony because I've liked how they have treated and promoted Mika Nakashima and many of it's other artists compared to Avex. Hmm I wonder if Ayu changed labels would she change composers? I really would like Ayu's 2005 work to be mostly composed by herself and maybe a few songs from Kazuhito Kikuchi, oh and maybe bring back Tomoyo Kinoshita (I think that's the composer of CAROLS)... She should take a break from BOUNCEBACK and Tetsuya Yukumi...

Oh and one last thing we should change this to 'The Official Koda Kumi Thread'.

I dislike Sony for the fact I can't put their CDs in my computer. She can stay at avex =X

TeamAyu: Whoops, my fault. ^^;;

Kinoshita Tomoya composed "CAROLS". Frankly, I'd like Hara Kazuhiro to compose for her, seeing as how he's produced a lot of good songs, like ELT's "Grip!", Kumi's "real Emotion", BoA's "DOUBLE" and "VALENTI", and I do think he composes for melody. as well.

light_hikari: Sony has removed their LabelGate protection from all their discs, so it's safe to put them in your comp now. ^^;;

YesAsia keeps on saying they're on it....well...if its true I'll find out if I buy a Sony disc any time soon. Might grab Mika's next single when like previews are up.

Well I like Ku's Composer's as well as Ayu. I don't think she should change labels.

the 15th single tracklisting has been confirmed.

DISC 1 [CD]
M1. hands

I SO hope that's not the title... it's just bad... and I don't like how they ordered the songs either.

when do ever like the order ?

The rumoured title reminds me so much of KURI's 4th album, 4REAL.

Omg...I wanted to buy her new cd+dvd...but the cover for the new single already scares me.
I just do NOT like Ku's new hairdo (bleach blonde w/black highlights). It looks yucky and doesnt feel like it goes together. Hmmm...maybe i'm putting off buying this one until later then.

I like her new hair color! Its suits her to me! and its black with blonde highlights.

Not opnly the cover is good but the song "Hands" is awesome! With the releases of LOVE & HONEY and kiseki I was really afraid Koda Kumi would do really bad on her next album but now she completely changed my point of view, I have high hopes for it now because there is already a list of pretty good songs like 24, SHAKE IT, Chase, Selfish and Hands! I can't wait for her album!

I'm going to pre-order this soon -- I hope I get the first pressing of the album. @_@;
