[Koda Kumi] The 187th Thread - NEW ALBUM COMING SOON

[kaled kalil]

Here we go again...

@Corvina It's always the same people complaining about the same thing. Just let it go.

---
@Marurosu: These are the missing songs:

01 BRIDGET SONG
02 Bring It On
09 Promise you
10 My fun

01 W FACE
02 Ultraviolet
03 Insane
05 Heartless

BSC had a stamp book, no pamphlet.

[KarenPang]

Honestly I don't understand everytime something negative crops up in Kuu's thread

Last year people were complaining on no new studio album . And this year , people are complaining about different things even though 2 joint albums will be out next month on the same day

Complain for the sake of complaining ?

Until the day when for some reason Kuu decides to quit making music *touchwood* , maybe all the un-necessary complaining will finally stop ?

It's always the same fan base making those comments. Fantome is the epitome of cheap, outdated, and basic but you don't see me or other Kuu fans going into her thread.

What was the point in bringing up Fantome?

I'm eager to check out this album. I sort of lost track of her for a bit. Also, she looks gorgeous on the cover!

Wait. Outside doesn't have any tie-ins while Inside has already 4? Are they purposely trying to make Outside sell poorly. This is sad.

Did someone say that Cupcake lyrics are dirty? is there a translation for this song that I've missed.

So far outside is still selling better on amazon.jp and mu-mo as it's higher on their rankings than inside. But the FC bundles aren't counted on that and I assume most fans buy from her FC.
We will see the result in about 3 weeks.

And yes, Cupcake's lyrics are from the snippets we got with the preview.

Put your gloves on
The offer
So sweet
I'm already addicted to your taste
Only me especially

And well, the chorus at The Artist was already clear enough, wasn't it? Be my cupcake?

@kaled
I personally count both together as her 13th album. Fits to the concept. Her official site doesn't count it at all for now, just calling it new album.

I need more ero-kakkoi songs from The Kuueen, there can never be too many. I still can't get enough of SO FEVER - afureru juicy. She SO needs to perform it during her 2017 live tour. Oh and I love that she's doing all those trap songs, I need studio version of Cupcake ASAP.

I think Stand by you is my fav preview from the Inside. It gives me stay with me & Kimi Omoi & Brave vibes. I'm a huger sucker for Kumi's ballads.

[thinkingoutloud89]

so what is the problem people? As Gubsi said, its music, and as kaled said, just let it go.
I don't like everything from the preview, then again these are just 15sec.
Kumi is a pop music artist who ventures into territories on the side-road. If she eery titles herself a "minimal"-artist, complain about it not being that. And as for the rest, just because it is Kumi she does not have to please you and the other way around, you are not obliged to love it. If you don't like it, fine - but being rude a negative is not the way.

As from my point of view: the description of the two albums is exactly what she is doing ever since TAKE BACK with the usual growth of own taste and what is in right now. If you ever liked her music, there is nothing on this or the last few albums that is not the Kumi you know. Maybe you evolved away from her and it is time to give her up - or at least your nostalgic expectations?

@Kaled:

I'm wondering if in the live broadcast next week she's going to play one of the new songs?
Would be great. And right the day after there's Good Time Music.

On My Way please! I'm really curious what song she'll choose to perform for Good Time Music. Hope it's not the only performance of the era.

[Toniayu123]

I don't think i can judge the songs from a 10 seconds instrumental preview. Up Until now there isn't anything mind blowing (and I agree they kinda sound like cheap demos), except that first preview we got on her website where she was actually singing which I loved it.
I just hope outside isn't as loud as WOML was. I don't hate the album, but I don't like it either.

[Luck16]

Move on

[ahtka-chan]

People over this thread are so butthurt, oh my...

Also what's the use of dragging other artists?

You don't go there because you're not her fan and/or minimally interested in her music. If it was the case, you would be there complaining if you didn't like the new songs and hopefully/probably Hikki fans wouldn't get all salty at you.

[kaled kalil]

Oh gosh...

http://avex-management.jp/artists/KOHDA/news/1045718/

They are really pushing -inside- a lot more, but this is expected.

[kaled kalil]

I want to know when Good Time Music will be broadcast. I know it's gonna be recorded during 02.15, but still.

Can I hope for at least one Music Station performance? Last time she promoted something was Lovely, 4 years ago...

About 90% of negative comments I've seen towards Kuu have always been from pretentious Utada fans who can't hear a single bad word about Utada's music but have no issue bashing other artists consistently. (mostly Ayu & Kuu). Usually I just ignore it since it's been so long since their behavior started but it gets annoying overtime.

From what I've seen the performances are usually aired about 3 weeks after being filmed, the March 7th show seems likely but earlier would be nice.

I'm also praying for a Music Station performance. Ai Otsuka, Mika Nakashima, Kaela Kimura, Mai Kuraki, have all performed in the last couple of years to promote their music. Kuu honestly has the worst management team ever. I hope they'll prove me wrong but they've been terrible handling her projects after Color The Cover.

But none of this is true. And what you wrote was an instigating comment. It's possible to like and criticized both in a respectful manner.

Can't really agree with anything you said, oh well.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^where has Kumi one of the worst management teams ever? are you crazy? She probably has one of the best, always coming up with ideas. It's probably her decision not to go just like Namie and Ayu - all of which are more busy with touring and family/private life.

[kaled kalil]

If you want a bad management team, you have to look to her sister's career. Her last (literally) attempt to keep relevant was a mess and it was barely half of the attention that she expected to get. Poor misono. http://avex.jp/misono/

Kumi has one of the best teams for sure, specially if we think of her name as a brand, releasing a lot of different things, from valentine's day gifts, to energy drinks.
