[Koda Kumi] 203rd Thread - Still celebrating her 20th year

[Gustavopc]

I was going through the united lounge tokyo catalogue of Kumi's stuff someone posted a while ago and came across this



It's described just as ''single goods'', does anyone know what that was? Wonder if that's an scrapped idea cause the singles are all out of order.

Those are laser pointers with her silhouette. I believe it was for the Second Session tour.

Oh, I never saw that page on WKKW before, so cool! Thanks for clarifying!

[Corvina]

Kuu is going to appear at the TV programme Roomic together wit LiSA and one member of BOYS AND MEN.
Airing August 1st.

Also Kuu showed some tour goods in her stories yesterday - parka and pants.



She mentions tho that this tie dye is a sample.
I do hope she keeps different pastel/pale colours like this!


Ah and weren't some people here sad that Kuu is not using united lounge tokyo anymore or something like that?
She does again, the 20th anni visuals for the tour were done by them.
Here's the official post:

The Summer single that launched future great Summer singles of Kuu

Still have so many great memories towards I'll be there cos that was the very 1st PV I watched back when I still subscribed to MTV Taiwan a long time ago , damn

[jiarongisme]

Everything about 4 hot wave was iconic, from the music, to the PVs, to the Maroc photoshoot. LOVE.

[Ayu_Love]

Considering Kuu likes to cover a lot of songs, I think she would probably love a tribute cover album of her songs if Avex allowed it! I think FAKY would deffo be on there if it were to happen. I don't know if they have mentioned Kuu, but Beverly and Kira follow Kuu on Instagram and like a lot of her posts, so they could be good candidates. Beverly would be an excellent ballad choice. Dream's Ami also covered 'Koi No Tsubomi' not too long ago on Youtube.

'Puff' has officially passed 'k' on views now I believe, so well done Kuu!

I still don't get why she's not performing this song (excluding a-nation'06 which we never saw and the remix on AT'13)

[Corvina]

Kuu showed us another new tour good today:



Looks like a blanket or a bathtowel.

EDIT:
It's a blanket.
Her manager posted about it.

[DevilsClap]

She is wearing a crown! our true queen.

Also I always adores her with the blonde hair in the JUICY PV so much

[Darkifrit]

4 hot wave was such a powerful single. I have so many great memories linked with its release. Definitely her best produced single.

Always make me nostalgic of 2006. Such a great year

Edit : quite surprised by the success of EX-TAPE : 70K in 4 days.
I thought Lick Me, Lollipop and FREAKY would do better too!

[kaled kalil]

I don't think the japanese audience like JUICY that much, so at some degree I can understand she not singing the song except for those two times.

4 hot wave is a strong single for sure, one of her best eras. All 4 songs are strong and the Ningyo hime remix from outroduction is awesome as well.

--

I'm surprised by EX TAPE's numbers, it's almost 75k, which none of the songs from Gossip Candy, FREAKY and 3 SPLASH got there yet. Sleeper hit in the making.

[Marurosu]

I was wondering if Break it down replaced JUICY in BC tour... Cause it fits so well... Seducing guys to stole the key... But I won't complain, I love Break it down so much, and the dance is awesome... and JUICY is what it is for some western fans because the MV not the song itself...

[thinkingoutloud89]

^nah I think it is the best song on that single, and even though I loved the MV as a teen I think it is so damn silly (as I just watched it today). Especially the costume change to promote her necklace - and at the end the guy is touching the necklace and she is like "bitch, you can touch my all over but not my necklace - bye!"

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Such great memories with that single. I can’t believe how long it’s been!

J-pop community was so thriving at that time.

My favorites in order: I’ll be there, with your smile, juicy and ningyohime

[Gustavopc]

4 hot wave was the first jpop cd I ever bought. I didn't buy it right when it came out cause I wasn't a fan, but when I got into Kumi that single blew me away, like how can all these quality songs be just a single??? The videos???? I just HAD to buy it. So many memories around that. Black Cherry era was just fantastic, so many great songs and videos ugh.

[KarenPang]

Chase PV has been uploaded

[Gustavopc]

It's so funny thinking that Chase and 4 hot wave are just two years apart from each other lol The secret > first things > second session period was so intense with so many stuff happening, must have been so wild for her.

[lovethatkuu&ayu]

The entire secret period was a massive breath of fresh air in female J-Pop.

I was low key hoping they'd drop that unreleased PV for Heat as well. Chase is a another underrated bop, and the video always makes me chuckle a bit with the "peeping tom" element.
