[Koda Kumi] 137th Thread - 4 TIMES for summer

[tenshi no hane]

I've suddenly fallen in love with Stands Up's preview The album which it's on was released yesterday, right? I hope it'll be uploaded soon *-*

[Benikari47]

OMG i need the V.I.P pv in my life now!
She looks AMAZING!

[stepYOU1234]

Went off Kuu quite a while ago. It wasn't her, it was me I just stopped listening to her style of music and following her releases along with the others I follow was getting too much! I still listen to a few of her older songs that I have on my iPod, mostly before Best ~ SS because she was releasing albums and singles like a trooper and I got very behind! But I saw the youtube spot on a blog and I am liking the sound of in the air and koso koso. Consider me possibly back Kuuuu!

I also love I'll be there
The PV was fantastic too. That was such a good time for not only Kuu, but Jpop in general...*sigh* Nostalgia...

And Japanese fashion... I'm with you on the nostalgia.

Wow! Those pv previews look sooo good! I can't wait to see all the videos. As of right now I want to see all the videos equally, but when it comes to the songs, KO-SO-KO-SO is my favorite, and V.I.P is also pretty good. PLC has grown on me a lot from watching the live performances of it, so I'm really starting to like that as well. And since I've only heard the short preview of In the Air so far, I can't really say too much about it, but I'm really liking what I hear so far!! Can't wait to get my hands on a copy of this single!!

Random question, but why does Kuu use a different kanji in her stage name from her actual one?

Her real name is 神田來未子 (Koda Kumiko)

But she uses 倖田來未 (Koda Kumi)

Is that what you were asking?

[omgpeachsnapple]

I think after that CM this single is my favorite.
I'm so in love.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

in the air sounds soooo good!!! pv looks really pretty!

Yeah, Kumi is her nick- and stagename.
In this big documentary they say that her mum came up with it using it like that.

Of course she topped the charts. She's the queen. I bet this single will do well on physical charts too <3

I 2nd this awesome PVs and songs..
awesome single *-*

[Twinkle !]

^ ah i really hope so , first single to sell 100k since MOON

[happiholic★]

I imagine it will do well. Look at how fast the post card version sold out. And that CD only has one song.

[Corvina]

I would love seeing her selling 100k with a single again, especially with her 50th now.
But I'm sceptical, cause the physical sales aren't anymore like they used to be and Kuu never was a big single seller. Although Lollipop last year was a big hit,Gossip Candy couldn't reach 100k as well. She was better digital the last two years.
But let's wait and see, I'm always for a surprsie and maybe the clever promotion works!^^

By the way

A bunch of Kumi songs started re-charting digitally in the single download (full songs):

40 - 愛のうた
56 - you
57 - POP DIVA
72 - Lollipop
81 - 恋のつぼみ
83 - anytime
94 - TABOO

I'm really happy to see that!

[do it again]

i'm sure this single will sell upwards of 20,000

[Minttulatte]

Well, even if 4 TIMES won't reach 100k, I hope it sells as good as her singles last year.
