[Koda Kumi] The 176th Thread - 15th Anniversary

[kaled kalil]

@Marcelo Thanks for the review about the concert! Glad to hear that you had a wonderful time.

About her vocals: this is one thing that she's almost always on point. They usually don't edit her voice for the DVDs (for the First Class 2nd Live they should have edit at least a little bit, but I can deal with that. Four shows in a row in one day, that was probably hell for her voice). Sometimes she sounds even better than the actual CD, because of the emotion and stuff.

A good example of that: https://kodakumimagazine.wordpress.c...ir-11-24-2012/ awesome vocals are awesome. haha

EDIT-

I saw that there is a mention about MOON in her website, so yeah... Moon Crying or TAC will probably be included.

MOON could mean Lady Go!, or both Moon Crying and Lady Go!

It will probably be like this

1. With your smile
2. I'll be there
3. FREAKY
4. girls
5. Lady Go!
6. Lick me
7. hashire!
8. Lollipop
9. HURRICANE
10. Poppin' love cocktail
11. IN THE AIR
12. LA LA LA LA LA
13. HOTEL
14. EX TAPE
15. NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU

I wonder how off I am with this tracklist. EX TAPE could also be track 1.

Well, the MOON poster is one of the options fanclub members can choose from when they pick which B3 poster they want with their album if they order it through the fanclub site. (As a side note, if you order all three version you get a ~special~ B2 poster)

Well, she also had a really bad cold, so that was the reason she didn't sound spectacular.

~*~*~*~

I'll actually be annoyed if they include Moon Crying. I feel like it would completely throw off the rest of the tracklist.

oh lol, I thought it was another poster so I didn't understand what he posted it but it's him. =)

As long as kuu doesn't sing like in that suki dex3 tv performance, I'm fine with her singing most of the time, she just shouts here and there.

Now that's amazing! I LOVE Kingdom Hearts! Is that song you mentioned is hikari/Passion or was it from the OST?

EDIT - I also just noticed that all the songs have PVs, which means they can't include Lady Go! and girls if it's all the songs from the CDs that have PVs.

[chocopockymaster]

It would be such a mistake to leave Lady Go! out of this release. Praying to the Kuudess that we get a PV for it so it can take its rightful place on the album

[Surreal17]

Ugghhh, I dislike Lady Go ! so much. Hopefully, it won't be on the album. But I really want JUICY.

No it wasn't either, it's from OST but can't remember out of my head what it was...now this bothers me, have to do youtube... Okay I don't remember anymore 100% what song it was that played, now thinking it might have been dearly beloved but I would have recognized it right away so.... But putting my money on it atm or then to some characters theme :'D there was also very khesque kind of song playong but can't say it was from the game, just very similar sounding.

OH AND ABOUT THE SEATS, IT WAS ALMOST FULL, I would say maybe 5% max vere empty, or maybe ~3%, there were double seats that were empty and such, I could seen them very well from where I was sitting, but positively suprised it was almost full!

Nice! She's playing there 3 times this week. The weekend shows should have even more people.

[Surreal17]

Come Over is really nice too!! Hopefully it will make the cut.
Did you guys managed to listen to the previews?

[mi|kshake]

I really hope Juicy makes the cut!

[Corvina]

Marcelo, thanks for your small review.
Great to hear about the live renditions of the album songs!

Kuu is the most popular in Kansai region, especially in Osaka. That's why she has the most dates there.

That's unlikely, but it would be so awesome!

[happiholic★]

I hate these covers. She looks terrible, IMO. Her hair, the outfit. I'm hating all over this. And I'm kinda disappointed that the title was wasted on just an album. I mean, its generic as hell, but I would have liked a summer full of Kuu.

This.

[maze]

damn i love the hair, so back-to-basics-ish, and that dress and the boots are so on point. blu-ray is the worst one, I agree, that pose is awkward.

please guys.. girls, Lady Go and IS THIS TRAP are a must, they are real summer jams.
besides, not necessarily they need to include real music videos right? it could be LIVE version MV for those songs

[orangeakira]

I like the previews, but neither are mind blowing. I can tell I'll like the full songs.

Yeah it would be so wierd having a kuu summer compilation without girls and Lady Go! which are her most popular summer jams lol.

It would be funny if they wouldn't put them in just because they don't have PVs and they don't fit with the PV DVD/blu-ray tracklist, but we will have to wait and see.

Moon Crying will be definitely be there like a sore thumb. She should split the up beats and ballads to make it flow. Somehow, even though she doesn't have many summery ballads.

[kaled kalil]

It woudn't be the first time that the CD and the DVD had different songs. Kingdom has Run For Your Life only on the DVD, so maybe they'll make an exception. If so, the album would probably be like this:

1. with your smile
2. Ningyo Hime
3. FREAKY
4. girls
5. Lady Go!
6. Lick Me
7. ECSTASY
8. Lollipop
9. Poppin' love cocktail
10. V.I.P.
11. IS THIS TRAP? (or LALALALALA)
12. HOTEL
13. HURRICANE
14. EX TAPE
15. NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU

I just don't see this happening, sadly.
-
It's quite a short tracklist for a compilation... I was hoping for, at least, 18 songs.

[maze]

also, it would be nice if it's a compilation like BOUNCE & LOVERS, with new versions of some songs it was perfection

[ladyluthien]

^your signature looks beautiful, the black and white makes the photoshoot look stunning!

I ordered the CD+DVD version. I thought the covers seemed a bit off, but she really looks beautiful with the blonde hair and her makeup is so pretty.
