[Koda Kumi] The 158th Thread - 「Color The Cover」 (2.27)

[tenshi no hane]

^
^ cute pics haha


I translated Pink Spider, if anyone's interested~

Spoiler:

You wove webs of lies
And thought your little world was all there is
You hurt whoever came near you
And thought the sky was rectangular

"This is everything… That's just the way life is, right?"
You said so… that's also a lie…

Your flashiness made you look lonely
And, surprisingly, the bird of paradise spoke to you

"Get the wings of a butterfly and come to me"
"At the other side, the world spins the way you want"

Pink Spider. "I really want to go"
Pink Spider. "I want wings…"

Pink Spider
Pink Spider
Pink Spider

Ignoring the butterfly you captured as it begged for mercy
You glared at the sky
"I didn't hurt you because I hate you"
"But because I have no wings and the sky is too high…"

"You should use my wings, indeed, Spider."
"You who doesn't know the pain of flight"
"Will realize one day"
"That you were only flying in someone's hand"
"And that you were merely calling that 'freedom'…"

Unable to fly properly with borrowed wings
You crash down, headfirst

Pink Spider. "It's all over"
Pink Spider. "Even though I can see the sky…"
Pink Spider. "I failed"
Pink Spider. "I want wings…"

Pink Spider
Pink Spider
Pink Spider

Beyond that sky, you faintly saw
Birds flying south
"I'll try one more time. I'll cut these threads
And fly with my own jets. As soon as that clouds passes…"
Pink Spider. The sky is calling
Pink Spider
Pink Spider

Pink clouds float in the sky

I'm looking forward to ordering "KODA KUMI PAPARAZZI!!" I'm just waiting for two orders to ship that are currently in the shipping process on CDJapan so I can use the frequent shopper points towards the purchase.

Much better to play Yume no Uta while it's snowing, as well as ai no uta (urban kiss version)!

You don't like the original Ai no Uta? Neither do I lol. The remix on Driving Hit's though <3

Thank you for the info.

Interesting that Pink Spider was her choice. I wonder if the song has some sort of special meaning to it for her?

Also, super excited for the tour. If she keeps the Japan theme, this tour could be one of her best!

My PAPARAZZI photo book won't be here until the DVD next month

[taskinillusion]

I was gonna say, I'm like older than most of you and I have never heard of this Cybill person even after looking at the Google results. Never seen/heard of anything she's associated with.

I'm impatiently waiting for the album to leeeeak... as well as the full Pink Spider PV.

EDIT: Also, I would just like to comment on the BASS in "Lay Down." Have you heard how crazy it is with an actual sound system like in a car?!?! O_O I was listening to it in my car and it's like "BOOOOMMM BOOOMMM BOOOOOOMMM" and I don't even have a crazy expensive system.

[Gustavopc]

^ I had never played it in a car system I think... I shall ask my cousin to do so, you let me curious

[SKYia]

I'm making a video (50 singles live), Kuu never sung Colour of soul live??? Not good.

Also, can I find this on any DVD?

I'm tempted to go sit in the car and try this. My mom might think I'm nuts, though.

[ALfromHELLSING]

^Under sounds friggin' awesome in the car. Oh man, my ears were crying that day.
Can't wait for the album as well. Early leak would've been very nice.

@SKYia this vid is from secret First Class Limited Live DVD.

[happiholic★]

Lay Down and Under. Got it. I wonder if Go to the Top sounds better in the car? I feel like it would.

[Dream]

why is this taking so long to leak T__T

[KuuXAyu-fan]

My order for Color The Cover CD+DVD+PB is now "In Shipping Process" yay~! Hope I'll get it Monday

thanks for posting! such a nice video <3 It's about how she wavered between continuing as "Koda Kumi" or retiring after her marriage and childbirth, and about how her mother has always supported her and still does.
