[Koda Kumi] The 147th Thread - Belly growing

[stickyrice]

Just popping in here to also recommend BEST~second session~

The whole album was just pure perfection. The packaging. The cover art. The PV's. I'm actually quite nostalgic now thinking how that whole era happened with the 12 singles every week thing. 2005-2006 was the best year in Jpop for me lol

I think it must be! Hahaha. They always seems more catty at online comments than when you hear them talk in person. But then again I guess so are western people online, haha. People all over the world seem to think they are free to be however they please on the internet.

(just read some of the stuff on here... its pathetic how people treat each other really)

THIS. Please may not know who you really are, but you still look like a ****. xD You may be just another member on here, but you'll still be recognized as the member who is a ****. xD

I own Black Cherry, Kingdom, Best ~third universe~ & UNIVERSE, and JAPONESQUE. I want to expand my collection while she's on break, and I was wondering what album you guys might suggest I buy first? Thanks for any advice you can give, sorry if I sound like I total noob, lol.

Just like everybody else, I would recommend Secret and Best Second session for definitely. Than if you are interested in her older songs upto secret I would recommend Best First Things, which also has 'No Tricks' on it, which is an awesome song. I would also recommend TRICK too if you don't have that, but I would recommend Secret and Best Second Session over TRICK.

1. Best Second Session
2. Secret
3. TRICK

[Kouyou]

Oh, wow. Almost everyone recommended BEST ~second session~! I will start looking for it Thank you all so much. I kind of want secret, too. Cutie Honey is such a great song.

[happiholic★]

^Cutie Honey single is amazing <3. Into Your Heart is super underrated.

[maze]

best album in jpop history.


/random/
top 3 fave kuu albums

1. BEST ~second session~
2. JAPONESQUE
3. Kingdom

[happiholic★]

I have to ask. second session is considered a "best of" album, hence the BEST in the title, lol. But, isn't it technically just an album? Its all material that has never been released on an album before.

[setsuka]

^
you are right,they just called it BEST because of the unprecedented amount of single releases before

for me

1.Best Second
2.Japonesque
3. Affection

[Gustavopc]

Her top albums to me are BEST ~ss~, Kingdom, JAPONESQUE and ETERNITY, in no particular order I still hope someday she'll held a big singles projects again, even though her single sales are not that strong nowadays [but well, it has never been that great neither in 2006...], like 7 SINS SINGLES or something like this

[kaled kalil]

Kingdom
Second Session
UNIVERSE / JAPONESQUE

Brave (Pachinko Version) LQ. She's a mermaid again ♥ ♥ ♥

[Princess_Of_Roses]

can someone explain this Pachinko machines to me.. I have seen to have missed that

Also that looked..well first bit was the little mermain Kuu stlye

[kaled kalil]

Pachinko is like an arcade game with gambling device, like slot machine but with more fun. lol
As gambling for money is illegal in Japan, the prizes are some balls that you can change to tokens, then you can go outside and change for cash.
Kumi have pachinko since 2007 with Fever Live in Hall. I actually don't know how the Kumi's pachinko works, I don't know if you get the balls or something else. XD

Ahh thanks !!! Didnt know gambling was illegal there lol! Is kuu the only star who promotes that.. Or is it pretty normal. Maybe the prize for the kumi one is songs/vids instead of the balls I would rather have songs lol
