❝I'm the type of person who thinks that in a relationship it doesn't matter what sex the other person is.
No matter who they are, it doesn't change the 'I love this person' feeling, does it?❞

Quote:

倖田來未 (Koda Kumi), born November 13, 1982, is a famous female Japanese solo R&B and pop singer. She is the older sister of singer misono. She dreamed of becoming an artist ever since she was in elementary school, and after being noticed by Avex Trax was signed to release pop music with an urban feel. Her popularity grew with the release of her fourth studio album Secret (2005), her sixteenth single "Butterfly" (2005), and her first greatest hits album Best: First Things (2005).

Though her early releases presented a conservative, quiet image, since as early as 2003 Koda has adopted a sexier and more provocative style. Because of this image, she has become a fashion leader among young women, setting trends such as the ero-kakkoii style. She has also won many fashion awards such as, the "Best Jeanist Award" and the title of "Nail Queen" three times since 2006. Since the rise in her popularity, Koda has lent her face and songs to many advertisements. In 2006 and 2007, Oricon awarded with Koda the title of best-selling artist.

KarenPang · #3 5th July 2009, 07:32 AM

yay for new thread

& it's a bit too early for me to comment about the pouch but it looks horrible from that photo

I hope more photos of the pouch will surface soon

freedreamer · #4 5th July 2009, 07:39 AM

i hope the PVs will surface...and PV-rips..and the single O.O

LacusClyne · #5 5th July 2009, 07:42 AM

so someone got the cd already....

if only the pic of the pouch is a little further away, that is way too close.

edit: a repost from the previous thread:
juicy, you said the download for the single is up too, is it under RF also? i can download from there, so if you give me the link, i can reload in other servers.

maze · #6 5th July 2009, 07:49 AM

Mr. Goto · #7 5th July 2009, 07:53 AM

the pouch version of the single is out @ KMC. I think I'll wait for the regular CD+DVD versions with remixes and interludes!

emi♡ · #8 5th July 2009, 07:53 AM

wrong thread lol

here's Ecstasy!

[MF direct] Koda Kumi - Ecstasy PV

Remember~ Please don't give this link out to anyone outside of AHS; I pay for my bandwidth

And also, they mistyped the name as "Ecstast" so...remember to change that~

Also...sorry for the wait, it would have been done like 20 minutes ago, but my internet is being weird, and I had to restart ~_~

**milky_way** · #9 5th July 2009, 07:54 AM

^ I love you

LacusClyne · #10 5th July 2009, 07:55 AM

emiko: what about Hashire? you are uploading that too?

i'm downloading it, and it says i have 15 mins more...so i'll upload it after i got it.

emi♡ · #11 5th July 2009, 07:57 AM

yeah I'm gonna upload it too~

My download will be done in 7 mins it says...I don't really trust it though, because download speeds for RayFile are awful and they change alot...

And my upload speed was really slow today, and I'm not sure why...only like 500 kb/s...

So, I think other people will have it upped before me~ The file for Hashire is 185 MB O_O

But I'll make an MF for it anyway.

edit: see, now it says 16 mins. I HATE RF.

freedreamer · #12 5th July 2009, 07:59 AM

^I LOVE U SO SO MUCH...and SOMEONE PLEASE GET THE SINGLE FROM KMC wooots!

thanks dear but when I click on the link , I didn't got anything

I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my internet , you wanna check on that ?

emi♡ · #14 5th July 2009, 08:01 AM

btw earlier I said it looked like the speed was off or something at certain parts?

i think it might be...because when I went to play it in VLC it said the file was broken or something...

although it plays fine in my GOM player...so I don't know.

KarenPang · #15 5th July 2009, 08:03 AM

as much as I want to thank you for taking the time/effort to upload the Hashire ! & Ecstasy PVs , I'm not getting anything when I click on the Ecstasy PV link that you have uploaded T_T

maybe I wait for LacusClyne / Genie to do so

Kingdom · #16 5th July 2009, 08:03 AM

i love ecstasy pv! the part with the wineglass is

A+ kumi kuu

emi♡ · #17 5th July 2009, 08:04 AM
