it's cute because it's borderline engrish. it's very sweet because of it's meaning!

i like almost all the lyrics that kumi writes, idk who wrote the lyrics for stay with me but it has a very kumish feel to it. she always adds cheesey english in them (run for your life, birthday eve, bounce)

haha

I only listened to it once & that's it for me

same for the video too

fergie said she let kumi write her own words because "she didn't have time"

T_____T

Just checked out the "stay with me" PV and my was I bored out of my brains! Ugh.

[Kikaru]

Stay with me...

The song: eh. Nothing special, still enjoyable. I like her voice better than moon crying, but I wasn't expecting anything else out of a winter ballad.

The PV: The coloring's pretty. But honestly? It was boring. Basically, what Kotora said. Maybe my experience with breaking up is very limited, but is it really that much to cry over? Also, she must have the best cold tolerance ever. And does she have some sort of contract with the cellphone company or something? because I swear, the cellphone got a lot of screen time.

[KarenPang]

come to think about it , since when she has an endorsement deal with au (the phone's brand that was used in stay with me)

Product Promotion.

[do it again]

lol yeah the phone was promoting au LISMO which is the tie-in for stay with me.
it's too early to judge what the album is gonna be like. the first two singles for Kingdom were BUT and FREAKY which were really aggressive songs and Kingdom ended up being nothing like that. it was mostly R&B.

if you listen during the chorus of TAC, fergie sings with kumi's backing track the first time, then kumi sings with fergie's backing track.

still, that ain't kuu is one of my least favorite kumi songs.

it would have been better if kuu had both verses and ferg with just the chorus and a bridge...

yeah because basically it's Fergie Feat Koda Kumi & not the other way round

mmm maybe but it would have been better if Run For Your Life was in both the CD & DVD of Kingdom

ya

that alongside with Boys Love Girls

it seems like people treat kuu's music like a hit or miss, only looking for either the good in the song or only the bad. they loved taboo, they hate stay with me. they thought taboo was too sltty, they think stay with me is too boring.

i feel like i'm the only one who has been overall happy with where this album is headed.

I really think her music is for the most part hit or miss. She has songs that I completely adore and songs that are absolutely boring and predictable. There's almost no middle ground for me. @_@ But it's usually her ballads that totally miss and her upbeat songs that hit.

But no, I don't think they "only look for either the good in the song or the bad". I don't think we're looking for a reason that we don't like stay with me, it's just a really generic song.

1/2 of MOON was bah , the whole TABOO single was fab

I'm waiting to see how will stay with me fare overall as a single

[se7entheaven]

stay with me PV is actually so boring and cheap. you and yume no uta looks better... since ai no uta..i think her 'love ballad' pv looks bad, just like Moon Crying
all the stories are the same
well...ayu also have the same storyline of a couple who cant unite with each other, but then those are only in her live videos. then kuu chan, since you was so popular, she kept repeating the same storyline...waiting for this guy, wait and wait...and wait

[howtousesexy]

Kuu's official site got updated since stay with me is her bramd new single. No new pics tho.

^ thanks for that & now I understand why she was using the au phone in the PV as I suspect stay with me's used to promote au's latest line of handphones but I could be wrong about that
