[Koda Kumi] 132nd Thread || Dejavu

[krauterol]

^
I don't like ayu so much, but I have to admit "L" was a pretty consistent single. Nice pv's and nice songs. I found it so good to be honest. Sweet season is happiness in true way, Virgin Road is epic at every way (music video, lyrics, voice, instrumentation... )and Last Angel is quite good also, with a nice beat.

If kuu's 50th single is as good as "L" I'll be so satisfied!! But I have to admit that Dejavu dissapointed me, even there are songs that I really love (prologue, at the weekend, lollipop, okay, hey baby...) there are so much junk in there (choi tashi life, melting, I don't love you) and other random songs (interlude, pop diva, passing by, bambi, aitakute...)

On universe there was a lot of awesome songs (step into my world, universe, cwgb, physical thing, no way, superstar, you're so beautiful, ecstasy...) In my opinion Universe was a so much better album. Also, the pv's she's doing recently are always abusing of computer graphics, and that looks so cheap (with a few exceptions like Superstar).

Let's wait now for the 50th single and HOPE it will have a better taste than Dejavu.

On the other hand, I just saw the Billboard live, and it's awesome! Probably her best live vocals since I can remember so glad I order it!

You know, I'm tired of people comparing the two. I know it's expected and inevitable, but both are different artists going through different parts of their lives. Ayu's just got married, Kuu is still single and working hard. I don't expect them both to be the same.

Some people prefer Ayu's 10th Anniversary, others Koda's, and it will be the same when Kuu celebrates her 50th single. Comments like this only promote Ayu-bashing in an Ayu forum, which is just asking for trouble, and also Kuu-bashing in a Koda thread from Ayu fans. It's so unneeded.

Just saying this because I've seen so many comments and there's going to be many more to come I just hope people relax and enjoy what both artists release, rather than feeling the need to be comparison-happy.

tl;dr: Stop talking about Ayu febhdsfbdgb

Dejavu release event will be streaming for everyone, not only for album buyers (=

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

^ oh haha xD

Well nevertheless it's a great idea

[Minttulatte]

I gotta say that I prefer Kuu's 10th anniversary because she really knew how to celebrate it. Ayu only did a massive tour, released two singles and that's it. :/ It felt like a normal Ayu year like 2007 and 2006 to me as there was no special concerts like Kuu had. I understand that its stupid to compare these artists but I'll be honest and say that it was Ayu's 10th anniversary year that made me lose my liking. I was hoping something really epic, and was disappointed when there was like nothing. :< That's all I have to say, and I'll say nothing else about this fact. <3

Back to Queen Kuuchie.

Why do I always misunderstand things? I was so hyped because I really thought Dejavu Tour would be proadcasted :'D That would've been so awesome. ;_;

// And someone tell me when my initiate will change to something else? I'm bored to be a everlasting dream initiate. :'3

[AyuGAME]

finally listened to Dejavu album...
at the week end is so good! my favourite...but unfortunately...the rest of album tracks is kinda lame...

[maze]

can we stop with the ayu talk? it's the kuu thread =/

anyway, this is how the slipcase from Tsutaya Records looks like:

and Aitakute being the next theme song for Ichikami was confirmed by the official site

[Tashiro]

I really was almost killing myself for not getting tsutaya version, but after seeing this I'm not so excited for it any longer. I'd buy if it was easy for people outside japan, but as it's almost impossible without a third person, I'm happy with my HMV version.

[Twinkle !]

^ OMG I can't stop staring at your ava , Edu.

Do you have scans of this magazine please

[Minttulatte]

Aitakute is a perfect CM song for Ichikami. <3

[jbrat2219]

The OS press has been officially announced for March 4th right?! I couldn't find links on YesAsia D:

[jiarongisme]

^ That's for the Taiwan press. I'm guessing the HK press (which YA usually brings in) will come in a bit later?

-EDIT-

Just checked HMV HK, they are releasing on the same day as the Taiwan press... So I guess YA is just being slow on their part.

agreed. I hope her 50th single will be really epic as well~ I wouldn't expect a kuu single to be as amazing as ayu's L but I hope it'll just be really amazing anyway. I'm 100x more excited for kuu's future works after dejavu.

[do it again]

I got my copy of Dejavu a little bit ago! Finished watching all the PVs and now I'm ripping it onto my computer. Can't wait to watch DMP!!!

[Tashiro]

Someone could upload Megumi no Hito and BE MY BABY PVs for us, right? I'm so excited about them, I really wanna see if there are any kind of special effects or something like that.

YAY!!

[SKYia]

My copy of Dejavu has been shipped today, yey, hopefully gonna get it for my birthday in 2,5 weeks (with Ayu's Deji Deji Mini) *ureshii*

Yes , please, someone HAS to record it, I can't watch it tommorrow, I'm working!
A free mini concert, that's so unusual for an artist from Kuu's caliber!

Kuu's 50th single will be her summer single, and I'm sure, Avex will make it big!
I'm already looking forward to it!

By the way, it's official, I'm loving AT THE WEEKEND now.

EDIT:

Billboad live sales:
2　*22,007　*22,007　倖田來未

Thanks to Negi.
Don't know it it's just the first day or the first week.

I'll try but it will be bad quality

anyway,
release short live event is no so unusual for Kuu-chan
- Lollipop
- Universe (not sure : at Billboard must not be free)
- It's all love

[Corvina]

As long as I'm able to see it, I'll be happy! Thank you!

Yeah, you'r right, she did a fair amount of live events in the last time.
But were all these free to watch?
I can't remember.
