My first kuu song was CUTIE HONEY.
It was the song that made me fall in love with her and J-Pop:heart

The first time I knew about Kuu was when I saw an advertisement very long ago for B ~ss~ on my TV (iirc LOL) but only bothered to check out her music when I heard Crazy 4 U playing during the B ~B&L~ CM on my TV 2 years ago :P

(I actually used to think she was some **** and I treated Ayu like god) :laugh

I was watching the special end of year CDTV and I guess it was right after Ayu I think I see this absolutely sexy chick dancing in a way I'd never seen a Jpop artist do with this super catchy music in the back... It was Kuu performing TABOO which is a song I still listen to like crazy.

After that I didn't really care for her much other than for TABOO, I didn't like that she was eclipsing Ayu etc etc, but then I discovered Ai no uta and that made me like her a whole lot. Then I'm here.

My friend was talking about how ****** and hot this Koda Kumi chick was and he made me watch JUICY and I was like "LOLYES" and that's that~

:yes Same for me. Only in my case the song was BUT.

real Emotion is where it started for me :yes

Just like me

No Regret for me :luv2 I was watching this video and I loved the song at the first time :P



("Maeda-kun & HINOI Team" is so funny :D)

Same here. I rented a copy of some PS2 game that had an exclusive preview of FFX-2 included and it was the opening scene of the game with Yuna singing and dancing to real Emotion. I played it over and over and over on my television blasting the speakers. Lol.

you started it for me. It was actually kinda funny how it started. I thought Kuu was one of my friend's favorite singer (turned out it was Shimatani) and I downloaded you, Birthday Eve, D.D.D., and Shake It Up for them since they didn't have the internet at the time. Turned out they didn't like Kuu...but I ended up liking her.

Usually when I go on to really like someone, it's by the first song I hear. Chase was my first Koda Kumi song and I was in love with it, I'm still in love with it. I went on to be obsessed until TRICK came out. In fact, oddly enough.... Ayu was the only artist I didn't fall in love with immediately. Her voice gave me a headache! :laugh

This is how I first saw Kuu & pretty much liked her. But it wasn't until Butterfly that I became the Kuustan I now am.

Butterfly was another song that made me respect her for being able to make music of a really good quality.

i found out about kumi because of FFX-2 trailers that i saw, sometime in 2003 or 2004 (i remember getting the game as a birthday present! :P). then i remember in 2005, i downloaded a few PVs, and that included Chase, Cutie Honey, Hands & Hot stuff. :heart i took a break for awhile, because i following utada at the same time as well. then in the fall of 2005, i got back into kumi by listening to you and after that, i followed all of the 12 singles. so ever since then, i've been a fan. it's been like...4 or 5 years! i considered her as my #1 artist back then since i really only followed her the most, lol, but in 2007 i discovered more artists. even now, she's my #1 favorite female artist, even though i love alot of other artists as well. i'll never give up on kumi! :D

My first Kuu song that I liked was Lick me. I'd known about her for a long time but I thought she was just some skeezer but then I heard lick me.

lol I remember when I was like 14, I first saw her "SHAKE IT" video and I was like so young and didn't get it. I thought she was having sex the whole time in her video, and it was like some different way to have sex (w/girls arms etc) lol. anyway I thought it was cool and then saw her other videos and really fell in love with "Gentle Words" :yes

Since i didnt have internet i recorded real emotion first and 1000 no kotoba later from the TV and listen them again and again whithout knowing she was Koda Kumi...

I still think this way about SHAKE IT :laugh

Kuu was my first Japanese artist and it was love at first listen. I don't really remember what song made me fall in love with her but one of the first ones I loved was 大切な君へ and it's still one of my favorites.
