[Koda Kumi] The 62nd Official Koda Kumi Thread!

[Sundae]

Of course it's boring. All of Kuu's ballad PVs are boring. To me anyway. Just a lot of Kumi looking very depressed.
I like the song better than Moon Crying. But this song doesn't have a climax like her other ballads used to have. I thought it was going to be a Koi No Tsubomi type song. But it's more like Promise or something like that. But I like that it reminds of hands which is my favorite Kumi ballad of all time.

koi no tsubomi? really? winter love ballad? koi no tsubomi? REALLY?

[Raleigh]

Well.. it's nice. The pv is really really pretty but the acting seemed a bit overdone and the theme is a bit cheesy. The song's ok but kinda generic.

What he said.

The song was described as a winter love ballad when the single was announced.

random, but the phone is there for advertising purposes. AU by KDDI

I love the song. It's so pretty sounding lol As for the PV, nothing spectacular. She looked great though!

Yea, exactly.

The problem for me with the song is that it's nothing special. IMO not even single quality, winter ballads just sell good.

It could be any female singer's song and any winter ballad (except that the twinkling sounds in the beginning from also Koi no Tsubomi and you are pretty Kuu-trademark).

It's just so...generic. It's not even really easy to distinguish chorus from verse if it wasn't for the choir.

Just got done watching the PV, and the song is actually pretty decent. The PV was exactly what I thought it would be so no surprise there. At least Kuu looked pretty even though I didn't like her chopped off bangs

The song reminds me of some of her earlier works. Does anyone else get that feeling or is it just me?

[WillofDusk]

The song disappointed me a bit. Well not really cause it was slightly better than I thought of the preview.
Kuu's strength is R&B~

Yea, for the PV, it's very similar to yume no uta except that she didn't get hit by a car.

I prefer more conceptual PVs

Nonetheless, I like it.

[Ayumiko]

that's the guy who played as oscar in hana kimi...XD...anyways...the pv was beautiful but boring. The waiting, cell phone, and looking sad's been done before in her other ballad pvs. She looks pretty but the hair reminds me of ayu's...>.> As for the song, I don't like it. Still can't beat yume no uta. Well atleast the cd covers looks pretty~

[emi♡]

uh these types of kuu songs really aren't my thing...so yeah. I wish they would have timed it better so it wasn't all silent at the end...

uh at least it was a happy song?

I hope no one minds, I put links to all the download threads and such in the first post.

Of course not, I don't mind at all.

[Zeke.]

I hate it Kumi's hairstyle was terrible in the PV as well with those straight edge bangs on each side of her forehead. The verses are nice but the chorus is just not good. It almost seems gospel-y. Lol. I actually like the ai no uta (Urban Kiss Version) better than this (actually, I love that version). So for me, I don't think this song will be on my JPOP for the HOLIDAYS! playlist this year.

Yume no Uta > ai no uta (Urban Kiss Version) >>>> you >>>>>>>>> Stay with me

[love in music]

the more i listen to the song the more i love it. her voice is so pretty!
i can't wait to hear winter bell

[PrincessAyu]

she looks sooo pretty in this video, and the song is growing on me thankfully. I thought it was a bit bland, like Kiseki. But it's getting better!! Has a christmassy feel to it.

are there kanji lyrics available anywhere?

[Kingdom]

omg, she looks adorable and gorgeous and her voice is so nice. and what's this, brief crying?!

i like the song now, and the pv is just what i expected. simple but cute. can't wait for winter bell!

[Luv ~Venus~]

I'm sorry but what's the purpose of having on a coat when it has no sleeves and it's snowing outside? What's even funnier is that Kuu has a freak'n dress on bare-legged. And oh gawd! The acting! Couldn't get any faker than Ayu's crying. And sorry but that guy was not cute enough to stand out in freezing cold for.

This video was full of lulz. The director made the video seem like a total fail. IMO tho, It was okay. He should make sure that next time his actors are cutier and the singers are wearing proper attire during the right season.

As for the song, Ai no Uta much? This song just seem like it was created for Kuu to over react in the video. I have to agree with some of you that said that the chorus doesn't really fit the song. Either way, it's worthy of going my ipod.

[RikkuChii]

Ohh...now I'm not so excited about seeing the PV. :?

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Well, imo, winter pvs/songs aren't suppose to be really "exciting" but more a calm/simple atmosphere. I mean, when you read the description of the song and heard the previews, what did you some of expect? An ass shaking, how low can ya go, touch all over my breast type of pv? DDD: Let's kinda be reasonable about the song and pv okay.
