[Koda Kumi] The 56th Official Koda Kumi Thread

[waterballoon]

TABOO has some cool lyrics. And I think Always sound weird because it's not exactly a high quality (but still thanks to Beauty4123 for bothering to give us a link), but yeah she sounds unlike herself in the bridge but I guess there's nothing much to comment unless there's a high quality floating around...

yeah like, i thought it wasn't kuu in the song..she didn't have her normal voice in it the song is still pretty but, i wish she would use her real voice

[do it again]

too lq to judge, but it sounds nice. i really hope she'll sing this at her next tour since there's really no chance for it being promoted since she doesn't really sing b-sides live

do you guys think she'll release an album sometime later in 2009 because of the speed of the singles being put out? or will she just release less singles this time around?

About four months and
New "TABOO" was released.
New topics, mainly in
MV closely, summed up the summer,
And the back of a live report
Special delivery across the 20 P!

i think she looks so good omg

i don't like it. it's a type of photo Ayumi would do. She looks cute but just overall it's not for her. lol

Thankies for the scan.

Agreed. This is one of her best singles ever. Always is hot. It's stuck in my head....Kuu's vocals was great in this song. I luff the mid R&B tone to it. One of her b-sides in a while. This is single is way better than BUT. I hope to her the remix...because if I like it, this will prolly be my fave kuu single. For being such a great single, I needs to obtain the # position. If Ayumi can it with Craptastic World, Kuu can get it with TABOO.

Gooooooo Kuu!

[Re:★]

Just when I fought I was totally over Kumi she pulls me back in. Uhhhhh. The Engrish is disgusting though, I must say.

[WillofDusk]

I like TABOO more than always.

I hope the PV for TABOO will come sooner

[minna]

I know that some ''temporary lyrics'' (aren't official yet) of TABOO have been posted
but I found this on www.fantasy-ayu.com

and I thought you might like 'cause they are ''complete'' except the english parts of the song (it's all a secret, etc.)

歌詞 / Lyrics / Paroles TABOO - 倖田來未 (Kouda Kumi)
Unofficial lyrics (can't catch the english part properly... Kuu's accent (-_-'))

闇に身を包んだから ESCAPE
抜け出す先はいつもの DANCE SPARK
合図したら I WON'T LET YOU GET INSIDE
ハンドル握りしめて DRIVE AWAY

間違い夢幻なの
わかっていても　I CAN'T HELP IT
隠さない気持ち
来れるはずじゃなかったのに

閉じた心で元には　MAKE KEY
秘密のカギどれで OPEN YOUR HEART
どんな君見せてくれる
止まらない　TABOO
止められない　TABOO

たくさんの　DREAM AND SECRET LOVE
私とまろう　WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE?
縁で見ても　I'LL CHEAK HAND AWAY
君のハンドル握りしめて DRIVE AWAY

かけてみる　IT'S PARTY NIGHT
眠れない　I CAN'T HELP IT
後戻りできない
こうなるはずじゃなかったのに

閉じた心で元には　MAKE KEY
秘密のカギどれで OPEN YOUR HEART
どんな君見せてくれる
止まらない　TABOO
止められない　TABOO

無数に散らばる
ながらとしても見つけられるから
心のドア開くたったひとつのカギ
どんな手段でも試してみなきゃわからないこともあるから
さあ目を閉じて　 WOW WOW
禁断の扉

こうなるはずじゃなかったのに

閉じた心で元には　MAKE KEY
秘密のカギどれで OPEN YOUR HEART
どんな君見せてくれる
止まらない　TABOO
止められない　TABOO

開いた扉でも元には　DARK KEY
秘密のドアこれで OPEN YOUR HEART
どんな未来見せてくれる
止まらない　TABOO
止められない　TABOO

I'LL CHEAK HAND AWAY

i doubt kuu really says that, lol. it makes no sense.

[Jwiz]

Always sounded quite nice too, TABOO's gonna be a great single!

[Hazuki]

It's NOT "I'll cheak hand away" it's "I'll take the handle away".
She's talking about the steering wheel of the car >_<
and "Dance Spark" is "Tough spot"

There's a few mistakes in there, it's the one I read first,
but had to correct it a bit ^^

[minna]

XDDD I didn't notice the cheak

sorry
I was more looking at the japanese than the english parts
because I know that some japanese sentences are also hard to catch

[Hazuki]

^ Ah~ Okay ^^
"cheak" still sounds ridiculous though XD
Don't worry about it minna-chan <3

[PrincessAyu]

so far I've only heard a preview for TABOO and it sounds like best Kuu work in a while. Very fresh sound, nothing recycled or boring as far as I can tell. =D better than MOON single probably.

<3 go kuu.
