[Koda Kumi] The Official 102nd Koda Kumi Thread

^im scared to hear the whole thing!
these new piano arrangments (Ai no Uta, moon crying..) aren't really that good to me.

[ren'ai]

yea I really hate it when she changes the way she sings the songs sometimes

I only let myself hear the album previews twice but they were so good I can still remember pretty much all of them.

You're So Beautiful & UNIVERSE & No Way & Stay & STEP INTO MY WORLD are going to be my faves

[maze]

^^ do you not like the performance of Ai no Uta at Best Artist?
I think this sounded sooooo great!! and Moon Crying Live in TW sounds powerful actually!!

^well, i'll hold out on my opinion for the new Moon Crying till i hear the whole thing. xD
but about the last 2 Ai no Utas...
the first one (i forgot which show..the one where she perfromed Lick me, CWGB, and You're So Beautiful) was too over done i think.
and the new one (where she performed TAXI with that other singer) has back-up vocals, the piano sounds smoothe and clear, and it's not THAT over done. so that one is good.
personally, i LOVE piano versions.

@Cherrim: aww you like stay <3 I'm not really a ballad person...but I didnt understand the hate for it. It seems sweet.

@tsubasa: for me...I like her power, but I felt she lost control of her voice with it...and it kinda sounds...well, just not as pretty as her voice is when she is in control, i guess....imo opinion anyway.

this is so true

I perfectly understand you now, guys xD
I really think the performance of Ai no Uta at Best Artist was gorgeous.
I was like [OMG *_*] at the beginning and at the bridge. she has awesome vocals!
but yeah, that one at Music Lovers wasn't that good (even though people there were like [*3*] xDDD)
and this last one at our music was nice too, but the one at Best Artist is still the best imo <3

btw, the performance of TAXI was amazing!!! *_*
I love when my kuuchan does duets live =3 I always ends up loving the song. lol
that's another great duet for her catalogue

this one, for example, is one of my favorites all the time too <3
just amazing

[freedreamer]

I would expect it to leak later on in the afternoon actually...lOl..it's a sunday and..usually great things happen on Sundays hahaha

[jean-baptiste]

^^wow that song is awesome!! was it around the first things era?
by any chance do you know the original singer (and both titles, i'm not familiar with kanji xD) for that song? and the original singer for taxi?

^i know right! well, its saturday still in New York, so it feels like i have to wait longer. xD

also, the thought came into my head. i know kuu has her fan-club (playroom i think?) but does she have a blog like ayu?

[Meat Pao]

Not liking the limited cover at all

[waterballoon]

i think the limited cover looks really cute, but she looks a bit too much like Ai Otsuka lol

[Cloudsoldier]

She looks strange in Limited cover.

[love in music]

Yeah, I agree with most of you, that limited cover looks weird. The others are a lot better. Not that it matters because I'm not buying any anyway~ Just waiting for that leak >_<

that vid is from FNS Kayousai 2008 (stay with me era )
both are Hiromi Go's songs (Hiromi Go's the guy that sang with Kuu on that performance).
1st song is How many faces and second one is I can't say. He sang Cutie Honey before these ones, too. xDD

the original singer of TAXI is that woman who sang with Kuu: Kiyomi Suzuki

she has two fanclubs actually. PC fanclub is Koda Gumi and mobile fanclub is playroom. and she doesn't have a blog like ayu, but they put messages and pictures in Koda Gumi website sometimes.

Anyone knows where this photo came from? and please post an HQ version.
Please and Thank you http://pixuria.com/imgs/5a5c47385847...a_Kumi_002.jpg

^ that's a pic from 12-singles-project photoshoot
the one formed with all the OBI's of the singles:

Spoiler:

and the only HQ that I have from that pic is the wallpaper you posted.

[jbrat2219]

^ Best second sessions singles. I think if you put all the OBIs together you get this picture.

[emi♡]

I always had a mind to photoshop that picture so that she has different hair and shoes...

[jean-baptiste]

@Tsubasa: thanks for all that info! very informing.
