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

[Gustavopc]

I am a fan of the PV of JUICY, but I'm not into the song itself. I agree with what Zeke put... Take Kuu's vocal out and there's a boring and dull instrumental, it even sounds a bit unpolished (I feel like SO FEVER also has this problem is some parts of the song too), it's like they forgot to add a layer on the song and there's something missing. Then, I also agree that the remix gave life to the song, it made it muuuch more enjoyable. Probably never getting a broadcasted performance over the years also made it overrated, unconciously.

@ayumisrael Because it's not part of her "traditional" summer maxi singles. Buttefly is also a summer maxi single, but it only has one a-side/music video. I don't know why exactly, but that's the only reason that I see.

JEWELian at JPC went to the last Osaka tour date today as well:

Tonight misono was in the audience and the fan-chosen song was "Always" - Kuu messed up the lyrics a bit but she said it herself, been a long time since she's sung it Sounds lovely acoustic.

OMGGGG I WANT ALWAYS TO MAKE IT TO THE SETLIST SO BAAAAD ):

-edit-
The DVD setlist, I mean, or at least a compilation of the song menu songs as a bonus content

[mi|kshake]

I wonder what was the point of not including COME WITH ME and Chase?

Yeah, it would've been cool if Heat could make the track list.

[maze]

^ I actually don't need "quality" to enjoy a song, especially when it's kuu we're talking about

oh nice choice, Always <3

[Anna.L]

See a Ku-chan concert live for the first time reminds me concerts like Britney Spears and Madonna

Hmm




Can't wait for Kumi's A Summer Best though. I'm here for Blu Ray PV remasters.

[ahtka-chan]

I actually love JUICY because of its harmonies. Her voice sounds amazing there

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Ningyo hime was always my absolute least favorite song on 4 hot wave.
It completely had no connection (or, no logical connection) through the video either.

unless I missed it haha.

@tokyoxjapanxfan
JUICY ~ she catchs the map to go after the triangle.
with your smile ~ catching all the parts of the triangle, which leads her to another dimension
I'll be there ~ this dimension seems like a dream, maybe?
ningyo hime ~ at the end of I'll be there she founds a book, which is some sort of a nighmare (being trapped, trying to escape, interacting with those weird people haha).

That's how I feel about the 4 hot wave PVs. haha

--

I can't with people taking seriously what maze said. haha

[adantatu2]

The bottle in JUICY saves the song, the video and Kumi.

[happiholic★]

I liked Juicy a lot more when I first got into Kuu, but she has better songs.

I've arrived to that conclusion as well while trying to make sense of the storyline, but, seriously, the PVs just don't fit together. The first two are ok, she first steals the map then goes on a quest using it, up until that part it makes sense, but then I'll be there and ningyo hime just feel like random pvs forced to somewhat make part of the sotry by that book... I find it better to think of them as two standalone pvs, because I actually enjoy them if I don't have to keep trying to find a connection haha

I love JUICIY, both song and PV, but my favorite slut anthem of her is Shake It.

[ayumisrael]

No slutty song ever exists is as slutty as SHAKE IT, both song and PV. Best sexy song/PV EVER! I love SHAKE IT to death, it's pure heaven.

[Gustavopc]

Ima sugu hoshii is also a gem, I love that "rap" part! Having her to perform it at FANTASIA made the whole year worth for me.

I love SHAKE IT because I was completely oblivious to it for a while. I downloaded that album after following the second session era, and black cherry era. I remember thinking "oh my god where did this come from and why is nobody still talking about it!?"

I also love ima but it's a very different vibe than her scandalous / slutty songs. It's more sensual and laid back. I also adore that rap portion.
