[Koda Kumi] The 181st Thread - 15th Anniversary LIVE The Artist is just around the corner

[Gustavopc]

Well, we know there's at least one new song besides those from WoL, she might be preparing a single for May, maybe? As much as I want a summer release, I want non-seasonal releases like BUT/Aisho or Love Me Back, so hopefully releasing SoL and WoL was a way to end this seasons-driven singles. Dont think it's likely tho

[Luck16]

My wallet appreciates your effort on not releasing a new (or a best) album Kuu, thanks <3

[Ryusei]

Maybe A KUUMPLETE is coming

Did people hate Inside and Outside Fishbowl? They're like the forgotten A-sides.

[DevilsClap]

I don't know , but I personally like them

[mi|kshake]

I enjoy them both! Especially Outside Fishbowl's PV!

[NintendoHTF1242]

I like both the fishbowl songs.

[Klauser_Bateson]

Inside had to grow on me a bit, but I loved Outside right out of the gate.

[Gustavopc]

I didn't name my tumblr after one of the tracks for nothing I love both but Inside is my shit <3

[Minttulatte]

I still hope there would be something new released in late 2016. Many people has been telling me that I'm wrong but fuck them all, I'm not gonna give up hope. XD

Me too. haha

But not even Kumi see those songs as a-sides... They are just like Run for your life, a lucky song who got a music video for nothing.

[jiarongisme]

I love fish poo~

No but seriously they're really great

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I hope Kuu starts lipping and pre-records vocals for her hall tours.

[se7entheaven]

Lsitening to Xtina's Christmas Songs I realise Kuu is "trying" to sound like her somehow. But I never like Christina as I found that she try so hard to scream in every songs, even in "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", it's so draggy like "from now on OOOOOUURR TROOOOUUUUBLE....."

Christina screams on everything. Every song of hers is a roller coaster between vocal runs and screaming...

"and i HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAARRRRRTTTTT myself by hurting you..."

"let's get DUUUUUUUUUURRRTAAAAAAAAAAAYYEYEYYAAAAAYYYY - OOOOO BAAAAAYBAAAAAAAAYYYY"

"I turn to youuuUUooooOOOOuuuuOOOOuuuOUOUOUOUouoOUOUouououOUU OOOOOO OOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH$!#$!"

And can't forget the dessert:

"CREOLE LADY MARMALAAaaaAAAAaaaAAAA-AH-AH-AH-AH-AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAADUH...."

[maze]

kuu is smart, I hope she doesnt release a best album that would be a bad move in her current state

so that's why there is no singles this time, now I got it all. I like the idea of this tour, reminds me of -first things- and -second session-. hopefully it's gonna be as awesome as those two

STOP. I'm LMFAO at the gym

While I do see Kuu drawing inspiration from Aguilera (DDD is a Japanese version of Lady Marmelade let's be honest), I don't think she's trying to emulate her with her screaming/high notes/whatever... She has been moving from those softer vocals to this since 2010, I'd say, but I don't really know why. Sometimes she goes out of control, like Ai no uta in The Artist TV report, but most of the time she manages it pretty well imo (Dance In The Rain at WOML Tour for example, damn). If anything, she may sound more like Sia doing her voice cracks than Christina's screaming-alarm being set off.

On another topic: No mu-mo HAPPY BOX for Kuu this year?
