[Koda Kumi] The 150th Thread - Best Hits Summer

They are also her highest selling albums. Then you have Bounce & Lovers, Third Universe (which was kinda useless imo) and Out Works Best. That's 5 best albums in a twelve year career. Third Universe was in 2010, so its been two years. That could be a long time or a short time, depending on your opinion.

Personally, the only Best album that annoyed me was Third Universe, as I feel they released it for the sake of releasing a best album during her 10th year, and it didn't have much desirable content if you had been buying previous albums. I really liked the releases of Bounce & Lovers and Second Session because they had new stuff, so I do look forward to what a summer Best could bring.


EDIT: Does anyone know if the DVD version of Live Tour 2005: First Things Deluxe Edition has any extra content over the version on Best Second Session?

This + I didn't really like Out Works Best, it had nothing new on it |:

Not sure if the BEST will be something big, I feel this will be something like Out works / Driving Hit's since it's the same price.

@Mayayu:
Your nails look absolutely awesome!
Would love to get more Kuu nails from you as well.

So at least one new song and an acceptable price.
Probably something to keep the public eye on her till she fully comes back.

^ Making of, interview with the dancers and staff, and the Second Session Release Party (actually a digest of the live) with a little piece of all the songs of the setlist.

oh another best? well the theme is good.. her summer singles are usually her best. hope she recorded at least 1 new song for it though and it's good

[Gustavopc]

I know there's nothing new to comment, but omg it feels so good to be expecting a new release from Kumi again I though we would get just a new single by November, and even though a BEST doesn't have much of a new material, there shall be a new photoshoot and a new song and omg <3 I mean, I really expect a new shoot since it's Kuu we're talking about, if this an ayu rumour then I wouldn't be hoping for new pics and songs... There would be an stylized A logo and that's all

It reminds me of how Dejavu was laid out.

[Gustavopc]

I think that if this was the tracklist, I would almost never listen to the second half I like the original tracklist, I'm used to this "not-flowing" in Kuu's albums

[ExodusUK]

Are there subtitles for this?

[Delicious n Bold]

^Lol is that a good thing? I just love it when my music is organized by 'similar' genres. That Pieces of SEVEN to Days still makes me shiver...

I do understand what you mean, actually. And I agree. I like it when my albums flow nicely. There is nothing better than one track leading into the next with perfect harmony. I even make sure my created playlists on iTunes do this, lol!!

[emi♡]

Sometimes it's more interesting when it isn't~~

I remember liking how it was laid out...even if I would have switched up some sections.

But I do like when she has albums that have all the upbeat/dance/electronic in the beginning, and then the cuter songs and ballads at the end...idk why lol

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Can she just announce the album already. I'm dying for the covers + new music.

[Twinkle !]

What's wrong with her baby sticking in her ****** , Get out already GIVE YOUR MOM A BREAK :@ !

[emi♡]

is the baby even due this month? O_o

[freedreamer]

Pregnant in November so...She should be giving birth next month in July proper..(9 months of labour right?)

[Twinkle !]

As I know that she's pregnant since October , and I read somewhere that she's expected to give birth around late may / early june

EDIT : According to Kuu's pregnancy announcement in December 16 she's 8 weeks pregnant , So Kumi is 33 weeks pregnant , Women usually give birth in 36 ~ 40 weeks

that's so soon then >.< ~~ !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Minttulatte]

Let's be patient with this, people. She'll be back sooner than we know it.
