[2006] Black Cherry vs. Secret (oh yes, I went there!)

[shadow*puppet]

well, I'm always up for a debate... it's always nice to test out your opinions against other people's

but honestly, it strikes me as a bit sad that it is when koda has finally come into her own and been recognized as an artist of her own making, that's when people compare her endlessly to ayu, even her fans... why does she always have to be in the shadow of ayu or hikki? why does her identity have to be constantly linked to that of someone else? her similarity with the previous "queens" is really only superficial at best...

it would be nice if koda's music would be debated on for itself and by itself, without finding its value only through comparison with other artists...

that said, secret is better
