[Koda Kumi] ♥♥The 100th Official Thread ~ Let's celebrate!♥♥

[KarenPang]

I'm quite UNIVERSE will reach #1 on 3rd Feb

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/newrelease/...?date=2010-2-3

doesn't seem to have much competitors on that week of release

[ayumisrael]

kimura kaela's releasing her 1st best album and she could be a competition since she got more and more popular and she also does well digitally.

A new song from her best album called Butterfly that wasn't released as a single has digitally a lot of #1 days and it seems that will have weeks too.

[KarenPang]

I saw this on CDJapan :

http://www.neowing.co.jp/track_for_c...KEY=RZCD-46454

is it confirmed at her site over the whole Can We Go Back (Another Ver.) & Good☆day (Another Ver.) or it will be just instrumentals ?

ok never mind I just went to her official site & they didn't have anything on this yet D:

You can use Rinkya or Celga...
(i use Celga so i don't know much about Rinkya)
BUT you need a creditcard and enough money! xDDDD
Cause you must pay the middleman, the shipping costs from japan to their warehouse in japan and then the shipping cost to you! Dx
And they ship it after 2 month anyway to you!
For example:
If you just get a letter from Koda Gumi and it's 2 month in the warehouse they will ship it to you and you must pay the shipping costs (which depends how heavy your items are (i probably pay 20€ is 30$ or something like that!?)
(BUT read the FAQ's on the site before you really decide to use them)
If you want i can send you a PM the next days, when i had more time!

I think it's the only competition i'm afraid of!
Cause you don't know the japanese people nowadays!

Personally i hope Kuu gets #1!
I tried Kaela, BUT i really don't like her music!
It's like i never understood why Superfly's Album Box Emotions charted so well in the charts!?
Kimura's music is strange for me and Superfly songs aren't memoriable!
BUT it's just my opinion and taste of music!
I wouldn't say i hate them, it's like with Mika Nakashima:
I don't hate her, BUT i really don't like her music!

wasn't this not mentioned on her site long time ago!?
他、全2曲4ヴァージョン収録予定
I think that means something like: 2 recorded songs with a total of 4 songs!
And like her million released singles before it was the same!
So the "other 2 songs" always the instrumentals! xD
When they add a Remix or another B-Side, they already had mentioned it i think!

[KarenPang]

I did checked her site over the supposedly 'another versions' of both songs but I didn't get any updates there

so for now I'm assuming them to be instrumentals

I ask even though I'm not buying the single LOL because I want to write up my review towards Can We Go Back but I'm holding back cos of this D:

[Gubsi]

i think it's a little mistake from CDJapan!
They don't really mentioned it on her site, BUT it's almost the same that the other songs turned out to be instrumentals!
So you can already make your review of the single!

[KarenPang]

ok

I work on writing about Can We Go Back maybe tomorrow or during the weekend . I wanted to do it today but I'm brain dead D:

That album was a clear indication to me that Japan LOVES best albums. This might be a big seller for Kumi since it's her anniversary too, ne?

Uh oh x_x... We'll have to see how this turns out...

[waterballoon]

I want Kuu to win Kimura Kaela lol cos after all Kuu's a 10 year anniversary BEST... it's "bigger" if you get what I mean.

Maybe it will, or more since kuu sells better with albums than ayu. I just think the best + original album will attract a lot of people to buy it.. the 10th anniversary should help a bit too.

[maze]

in that k sisters message from max's blog, kuuchan said she will go abroad this year.. this probably means an "asia tour" for the next tour.. and mimo said she is working so hard to have her own official fanclub.. XD

misono needs fans first.

An Asian Tour for Kuu would be sooooooooo exciting! It would be her first one right? She only did that one concert in Taiwan so it wasn't really a "tour," ne?

[Crystal_Ageha]

^ Lol, I see that. Too true, unfortunately for her. D:
And yeah, this is the first real tour outside of Japan. ^.^

See, I think this will sell better than it really should because people are literally being forced to buy the best (if they want the new album, that is ). Though, I'm not sure it will do extremely well, even as a best, because her last two bests have done, well..not good, at all. :\ Then again, those bests flat out sucked, lol. But, then AGAIN, most Kumi fans will have already bought all these songs at least once, considering they are from her peak. >__> Hm...

Whatever. I'm still waiting a good while to get her new studio album, hoping that it will be released separately. Because, knowing avex, they would LOVE the chance to milk this, releasing the studio separately a few months later. And if not, well, guess I'll just go through with their evil scheme and buy the best to get the studio, ya? >,<

[AyUta]

Oooo, I would love an asian tour for Kumi <3

I wouldn't waste my money on the best, but I would for the new album. If the Japanese fans feel the same, this might end up selling as well as a regular album for her. But I hope for more.

Not a fan of her (Butterfly is an amazing song though) but she is a very respectable artist....her songs are crazy popular and this is her first best album and like Kumi's 4th or something. I'd say she's stiff competition but Kumi should be able to sell at #1

soo question for you guys because I cant remember for the life of me, how many calendars has Koda had now? I think it's 3 or 4 as of this year but..Im not really sure.

Just 4 I'm pretty sure. She had one for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Both the 2007 and 2008 calendars have really pretty pics, I wish there were proper scans of them, all I've ever found are crappy cam pics that people took of them

[AyumiSEASONS]

I have all the calendars but the 2010 one but im hoping to order it today. SADLY though My scanner isn't big enough to scan them. :/ or I totally would

I ran out of space on my walls so I have some of the calendar pages in a poster tube in my closet and I didnt feel like digging through my closet to find the pages to find out how many calendars there has been. XD so thanks for answering me.
