[Koda Kumi] The 158th Thread - 「Color The Cover」 (2.27)

[kaled kalil]

This is what I think about the CTC:

Pink Spider: One of the best songs of the year imo, strong beat and a lot of auto-tune helped to bring a really cool feeling. 10/10

Shake Hip: Another cool song, the erokakkoi I wanted so badly. I don’t give 10 cause the ending is kinda too long, like BE MY BABY, but still a good song. 9/10

Lovely: So damn cute, from head to toe. Since the first time I can’t stop singing LOVELY LOVELY WAY CAN’T YOU SEE THE WAY IT’S A… 10/10

Jounetsu: Jazz and Blue style, the good part is that Kumi have a lot of soul in her voice, cause it sounds great. 8/10

One more time, One more chance: Refreshing ballad, sounds like a b-side but in a cool way. 7/10

Alone: Gorgeous gorgeous and gorgeous, should have a PV too on Koishikute single. 9/10

Blue Velvet: I don’t know why, but it didn’t stand out for me. Not bad but not great at the same time. 6/10

“Otoko”: Was this an anime song? It really sounds like. Can’t wait to see this live with the crowd singing along the chorus. 8/10

Dou ni mo Tomaranai: WHY SO SHORT? So freaking good, the beginning is a lot kpopish and I love it, and I bet that Minzy is going crazy with this song. Probably will be on a medley during the tour. 9/10

Koyoi no Tsuki no You ni: What a nice midtempo! ENCORE song for sure, calm and heartwarming. Such a lovely way to end an album. 9/10

Uta wa Waga Inochi: Was that the version of the Misora Hibari Memorial Concert? The crowd sounds so more loud on the video. Anyway, this is song is so beautiful that doesn ‘t matters. Five stars for this one. 10/10.

Overall, I cant see this album as a cover album, it’s more “Koda Kumi” than some of her albuns… Yeah, I’m looking at you, Dejavu.
Can you imagine JAPONESQUE and Color The Cover together on a setlist? How am I supposed not to be excited about JAPONESQUE Tour?

[Ayu_Love]

Oooh yay! So many goodies today! Just downloading the album, can't wait to listen to it!

The Shake Hip PV is epic, I love it! And I so need the photobook, the previews are gorgeous!

Vivi preview!

[AyusakiFan]

Although I'm going to wait until I receive my copy to look at the photobook and listen to the album, I'm happy to see that many of you have given such positive reviews of it! I was originally on the fence about purchasing this album when it was first announced as it is a cover album and not a studio album, but from what has been said, she really made the songs her own! I'm really happy that I decided to purchase it and I can't wait to receive it! It's going to be hard to resist though, lol!

[koumori]

Album sounds so great. I'm totally buying this with my next paycheck.

[Dream]

Color The Cover is so flawless! Loving shake hip! pv too, can't wait for pink spider.

[AyuHamasaki01]

[milky_way]

I love Dou ni mo Tomaranai and Otoko. Solid album

[XilliaMaxwell]

The only song I'm kinda meh on is Blue Velvet, but the rest is just yes.



Kuu is my Queen 5ever.

[kaled kalil]

Go to to Top sounds better on mute.

[TeamAyu2004]

I found the full tour list on her website!!
Im planning to go to the Yokohama stage... MAYBE aomori one as well!

[title156]

Kono mama Shake Hip! Shake Hip!
Do you know my mind
Do you know my mind mind mind, my my...

It's struck in my head XDDDDD I luv it!!!!
And those 3 PVs are awesome, colorful and Kuu is gorgeous. Kuu's PVs deserve a blu-ray release more than Ayu's. lol

[kaled kalil]

Just watched Pink Spider PV and it's kinda boring, srsly. The better scenes are out (she shooting the screen) and nothing happens. Just a bunch of random scenes that doesn't even have a connection if you don't know the story.

[x-megumi-x]

Color the Cover is awesome. I still don't know if I like it better than ETERNITY or not, but it's really a solid album.
My favorites so far are Pink Spider, Shake Hip!, One more time, One more chance, Otoko and Dou ni mo Tomaranai.

The only song I don't like is Uta wa Waga Inochi. I love her voice and the way she sings in it, but the song is not my style at all.

The booklet/photobook looks hot as hell! I can't wait to receive my copy <3

[Delicious n Bold]

I'm really disappointed with the album..

however, i like pink spider, blue velvet & otoko

along with Pink Spider and Shake Hip!, I really like Dou ni mo Tomaranai and Jounetsu. One more time, One more chance is nice too

[AyuHamasaki01]

Love the cover album. It's so good, it doesn't feel like a cover album at all. I especially love Blue Velvet, Otoko and Dou ni mo Tomaranai.

And of course Shake Hip! and Pink Spider. It's a shame Pink Spider has so much autotune because Kuu is such an awesome singer with an amazing voice and I feel that autotune somewhat ruined that in this song.
