[Koda Kumi] The Official 101st Koda Kumi Thread

[Zeke.]

I gotta say after reading the reviews of the previews I was scared and had very low expactations. But:

I LOVE THE PREVIEWS. I think I really could like all of them. Step Into My World and UNIVERSE are grand. Not as good as Driving but very very great! I cannot wait for this album!

[nanakopy87]

i think superstar PV concept is good...but...errr...i don't like kuu's overacted expression

[Kingdom]

no way sounds like a nao'ymt song!

& i think comes up used to be titled "believe" but they changed it because she already has a song titled that

[AyUta]

Ew, Superstar PV is . I'm not going to listen to any of the previews . I want to wait and be surprised....hopefully .

yes it does! I think that's why it reminded me of hiromi

[jean-baptiste]

@ero-kakkoii: yeah i think so too. she says "believe" more than she says "comes up". xD

i actually like ALL the previews so far. there was just one that didn't catch my attention. (i dont remember which one.)

and i think its so crazy how much Intro to trick and Step into my world sound almost exactly alike.
im wondering if thats intentional. o_0

Aw, I knew a lot of you wouldn't like this album, because it's definitely very J-Pop.. Oh well. That's good news for Japanese fans!

And an A3 Sticker with all the Single & Album Covers + Logo!

it's only for the 2CD version?

[KarenPang]

guess I'm 1 of the minority who hasn't & don't plan to hear the previews of UNIVERSE

I usually don't listen to previews either, but you should listen to these before you purchase anything.

[KarenPang]

yeah I know what you mean but I'm lazy basically

I do listen to previews but depending on who I die die support til the end . I'm not saying I don't die die support Kumi Kuu but some of the artistes that I do , when comes to previews of albums , they didn't release all the previews for the whole album

they just cherry pick & upload some on their website which that should be the way

doing that for the whole album , wow that might backfire

[maze]

Favorite previews

Step Into My World
You're So Beautiful
No Way
Stay
Comes Up
UNIVERSE

Least favorites

SUPERSTAR
Work It Out!
(I'm pretty sure these two will grow on me when I'll hear the full versions )

overall this is going to be much better than TRICK imo
such nice R&B/pop/rock/cutesy/ballads-type songs. I looove it already. =3

Can we go back to the way we used to be
今戻る　Butterflies
全て投げ出してもいいじゃないの?
Used to be　谛めるのは　easy
今のままでいい筈はない
そう　back to the way we used to be

何だかんだ考えると
迷路のよう　迷い出し
出口がもう　まるで见えなくなるんだ
All this is killing me

もっと　simple　&　crazyにChange

Can we go back to the way we used to be
今戻る　Butterflies
全て投げ出してもいいじゃないの?
Used to be　谛めるのは　easy
今のままでいい筈はない
そう　back to the way we used to be

谁にだって叶わないもの
出て来るあのHEROだって
どうしょうもないと思った
时点で负けだって

时がきた
あの顷にChange

Can we go back to the way we used to be
今戻る　Butterflies
全て投げ出してもいいじゃないの?
Used to be　谛めるのは　easy
今のままでいい筈はない

Oh　can we go back
负けることにもう惯れてきたよ
子供の顷は怖くなかった
人生　负け战なんてしたところで何も生まれない
Baby can we try

Can we go back to the way we used to be
今戻る　Butterflies
全て投げ出してもいいじゃないの?
Used to be　谛めるのは　easy
今のままでいい筈はない
そう　back to the way we used to be
Back to the way we used to be

well it doesnt really matter if I don't like the previews
I don't like previews that often
and I already pre-ordered the 2CD in december

[lollipop sophie]

wow a lot of people like the previews and MANY don't lol
anyway previews don't always sound good (considering its like 30sec ^_^)
I only heard the full song of you're beautiful and a preview of step into my world.
I wanna wait until I get my copy so I can hear the full songs ^_^ a lot people are saying its bad but everybody has different tastes!! I just hope the japanese fans like it since somebody said it sounds more pop than anything else (jpopish)lol idk
I'm still hoping it sells well like her first two bests those were awesome!!

[maze]

^ I agree. I'm sure the new songs will be amazing when I'll hear them in full and on my stereo. 8D
I actually can't take care of these leaks because they're just previews.. =/

ok. there are a lot of new pages in this thread so I don't know if this was posted before. >_<


Koda Kumi Live Tour 2010 ~UNIVERSE~ announced!!!

Spoiler:

also, this is what you will get by ordering UNIVERSE (FC Edition)



Credits: Negi92

I hope she'll perform songs from UNIVERSE and BEST ~third universe~ for the 2010 tour.

your username is so cute!

I agree! And I really like that there are such differing opinions about kuu's songs...I think it's a result of the versatility of her music that changes from track to track.

There's always something for someone!

It's great

I hope the Japanese fans like it too! @_@ lol

[Meat Pao]

Omg I want the FC goodies ;_; Those stickers look delicious.

ummm just wondering but don't japanese fans usually like more poppy
songs (jpopish!) even though kuu started out doing R&B/urban she started
gradually moving to more poppy songs (which I don't mind) but I'm curious to know if poppy songs do better than other generes ???
