[Koda Kumi] The 163rd Thread - 55th Single "Summer Trip"

[KuuXAyu-fan]

It's been very quiet recently. Hoping she announces something to look forward to at the mini live.

[Minttulatte]

There's still time for one more single before studio album. I'm wondering if it's a ballad though, since she already released one... Although she did have two winter ballad singles for secret (Kiseki & hands) and Black Cherry (Yume no Uta & Unmei) so we'll never know. I actually would like to have a double a-side like Cherry Girl / Unmei. A updeat song and a epic ballad together would kill me. XD

Oh, you're not. I've been feeling less obsessed in her music this year. I'm still interested in news about her but yeah, interest has been a bit low for a while now. And it's weird because I'm usually obsessed 24/7 XD I know that if the usual ballad single will be announced, I'll be interested in her because Kuu's ballads have always been one of the reasons why I adore this woman♥

[inthezone]

I just need something edgy

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I'd kill for another feel.

Such an underrated song.

Or Gentle Words.

Praying that the new album isn't more of the same.

We're in the same boat. I'm also hoping her next album marks a new change in sound for her. I stopped listening to her music and I plan on giving away my small Kuu CD collection. I'm just not as interested in her music anymore.

I still stop by the threads every now and then.

Oh hell yes.

I'm NEVER EVER EVER EVER bored with Kuu. However, lately I have been addicted to LG's "Applause" single and I've also been listening to a lot of piano and classical music.

I'm not watching the tv bradcast this time, will wait for the dvd/bluray release x_X

[milky_way]

When is the Japonesque tour going to air?

[emi♡]

...wait what tour? I was distracted.

[ILoveGeniuses]

When's the Bluray releasing? That's only question I want an answer to right now.

[marty]

Thanks a lot for those scans, maze! Summer Trip's style is amazingly good, it suits Kuu so much!

Also, I'm never really bored with Kuu. I think that's because, like Ayu, she has a huuuuge discography, with a lot of different turns in style, so I almost always find what I need, from the ballad to the rock-ish song or the dance one. Ayu and Kuu are so versatile!
And I'm still kind of fond of Summer Trip: it wasn't an amazing single, but it was good and lovely enough <3

[Diva_br]

I need a new single / album right now D:

[Corvina]

I'm waiting for the Dvd/Bluray announcement. Should be coming next.

And Kuu's really active - a-nation now, then Taiwan live and Fanclub Tour.
She's probably preparing a lot at the moment.

Love that setlist! And she's wearing minimal clothing as usual... not that there's anything wrong with that.

[hsienko]

What is #5 some kind of interlude or something

[Kouyou]

Ahhh, I really want Kuu to release a new studio album this year! I need my Kuu fix, but I do understand that she's v busy.

[mi|kshake]

I dipped out of the Kumi fandom at one point. I didn't grow tired of her music, more disappointed (with Black Cherry) and just lost interest. And as a result I didn't listen to her "properly" for a while. But a couple of years ago, I started listening to some of her albums again (having not followed her actively, or bought her albums, during the Kingdom -> Deja Vu period) and got back in there with my purchase of Japonesque.

So glad I'm finding enjoyment in her music again!

[Minttulatte]

I love Kuu's setlist for a-nation! Absolutely amazing~ ♥

I'm not really bored with Kuu, I just feel my interest is more directed to Hikki's direction right now. Although I know I will get back to Kuu the moment new single announcement is out lol. Or after I see her a-nation performance, haha. XD
