[Koda Kumi] The 181st Thread - 15th Anniversary LIVE The Artist is just around the corner

[Ryusei]

singing aside wtf is with that hair? That combination of colors is so weird and some segments are bigger than others, what a mess...

[Isicio]

I can't watch the video but misono love <3

[se7entheaven]

There's a reason why her older sister is more famous lol
But then again her voice is the typical Japanese.

[Minttulatte]

I won't even watch that Ai no Uta cover performance because I can't stand misono's voice. Therefore I know I will not enjoy the cover version at all. :/

[Miduhyo]

Misono. It's in your name. Miso-No. No. No. No. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I mean, I'm not a huge fan of Ai no Uta. But like someone else said on here (I'm too lazy to go back on page and quote them) it seems to be very popular in Japan. To me it's so typical and bland and then mix it in with Misono and you got yourself a live version of watching paint dry. That said, however, I've never seen a cover that gets even close to Kumi's. I may not like the song but I'll watch it when she sings it.

She looks so fresh! Nice cover.

I don't like misono's voice, at all. And it's weird because when she started, she was a really good singer. During her days on 'day after tomorrow', her voice was solid.



It doesn't even sounds like it's the same girl, to be honest.

[Gustavopc]

As a friend of mine said, this pic from NAIL MAX looks like it came straight out of the grow into one era lol She seems to be wearing less heavy make-up these days (FNS and this only, actually hahaha) and she still looks gorgeous

[ayumisrael]

It really does look like it came from grow into one lol.
I think it suits her better to look that way, the more natural kuu looks like the older kuu.

Misono sounded amazing and was a great technical singer during day after tomorrow days, I wonder what happened to her after dat that it drastically changed that way. Well it was still normal on her debut single VS, but afterwards misono started sounding worse and lost control on her voice.

ai no uta conforms perfectly to how a japanese ballad should be like to the Japanese, that's why it's probably her most popular song (along with Butterfly, cutie honey and koi no tsubomi).

[Corvina]

Kuu's wearing less make up in her LINE messages recently as well.
Here's the one from yesterday:


Kuu says she was really happy to contribute to the globe tribute album. There were so many songs she wanted to do, so Komuro suggested Wanderin' Destiny to her.
Kuu hopes, that you can hear how great of a song it is through her own arrangement of the song.

[jean-baptiste]

The last two pics of kuu without makeup are absolutely stunning.

That video post of misono in 2002 sounds good actually.

Wow she was actually pretty good. That's a bit depressing.

So pretty! and Wanderin' Destiny was the perfect choice, her voice suits the song perfectly.

[kaled kalil]

I kinda like how she sings 0 ji mae no tsunderella because it suits the song, she does sounds as a spoiled brat whining about a love that she cares about it, but try to pretend she don't.

Lyric-wise, the song is good. She should stick with this as a job.

I know that, right now, she's was we call in Brazil a "sub-celebrity", using talk shows and random appearances to keep being relevant, but it actually makes me sad how her career went down.
After the fiasco that was her last album (that one that she said she would retire if she did not sell 10,000 copies) I just can't with her.

[Minttulatte]

I got a 2006 vibe from that NAIL MAX pic myself. She didn't wear so much makeup during those times either imo. I don't mind if she used a more natural look for a while. This Kuu is beautiful. Like, really beautiful. I personally love more natural looks.

Oh my god, this sounds so good. What happened to her voice? O.o I mean, her voice these days is completely intolerable to me. :/

[Luck16]

She does sound good in that video.
Maybe day after tomorrow should make a comeback. I guess it could do good for her.

[melissalove]

I never understood why misono didn't just get another band to back her up after the split.

Kuu is so cute holding the globe tribute album!

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Can someone please upload the "demo" version of futari de? Or whatever it is called...it's different from the version released on the single, and it's not one of the remixes...but it was a full song. Anyone know what I'm referring to? I'd really appreciate that! Thanks!
