I seriously lol every time someone says they can't stand the word "horny" in her songs. XD It's just a word people :D

THIS! :yes

Btw, in about 8 hours hopefully we will get V.I.P pv!! I'm so excited!!! :D

7 hours, MTV airs it even earlier! :3

I CANT WAIT!!! but omg its gonnna explicit enough for me not to watch it in the office >.< hahahaha

MAKING OF OF KO-SO-KO-SO


omg....this is...O.O

^
it'll be ALL the pv a bed scene??

Is there a radio rip or something of KO SO KO SO ? I love iiit so much <3

I agree, the biggest downside to performing so much is that it strains the vocals. I'd rather have less Kuu lives if it means she gets to rest. Does she ever go on vacation or something?

The big painting in the background over the bed! :roflmao
I think I will pay attention to just that painting in the full PV! :laugh

omg that painting :laugh
I want the full PV now!

I had noticed the painting on those pics weI had noticed the painting on those pics we got first got first :roflmao

oh, those vocals... now I understand why she sounded a bit strange on some second session tour perfomances :( Kuu needs some rest, poor her...

where is the PV already?

Here you are,it's a radio rip ^^

Here u are : http://www.mediafire.com/?y3ag3aq6edq9vvz :)

KO-SO-KO-SO PV will be the sexiest thing ever <3

thank you both!~~ <3 gonna put that on replay for hours *o*

I love that KO-SO-KO-SO will have Ku and another woman in bed! Really hot and scandalous!

Ahaha you're welcome ! That's also what I've been doing since it's out ! (NAKED + KO-SO-KO-SO = hottest summer playlist ever :D)

VIP PV premiered 20 minutes ago on MTV!! Hope someone upload it soon! :D

Me too. I´m searching info about app to watching japanese television via online and It´s not possible to see mtv japan or SSTV :(

I can't find it anywhere, but it'll pop up soon :).

I don't want to be tempted to watch the PVs before I get my copy...

I love how Kuu, in the making of KOSOKOSO, said "hazukashii!" XD

VIP is on jpopsuki... can somebody bring us the link?! pleaseee!

Ugh I need the KO-SO-KO-SO PV in my life RIGHT NOW

倖田來未 V.I.P PV

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xk9izu_v-i-p_people

AWESOOOOOOME PV <3 She was so hot, and the choreo is fierce

^^Temptation calls me... must not give in...

she looked great (except for that fugly hairstyle with the white outfit) and i liked the choreography though it's nowhere near her best. They coulda added some more scenes and outfits for her

I love V.I.P. the song but seeing it with the PV just makes it feel like it isn't.. complete? as an actual song.. like it's missing something or leads up to something and doesn't finish? I don't know.. I still love it lol

Love it! A stronger and sexy female! It´s not her best choreography but the "end" is awesome!

I agree, a little let down by the choreography but it was an okay PV. Reminded me of Selfish for some reason.

I was so excited to watch this and dailymotion won't open for me :(

I like the choreo! She looks hot as EVER in this PV. I love the scene with the girl - she is super hot and must be tho one she takes home for the KO-SO-KO-SO PV :) Which I am very happy about because I felt jipped when Kumi kissed that UGLY girl in the But PV. Yuck. Lol.

V.I.P. is hot, but KO-SO-KO-SO will be FIRE !!!!!

OMG 'BOUT TO CRY V.I.P. IS SO FLAWLESS OMG SOMEONE HELP IT'S SO FLAWLESS. Not exaggerating either.

there was so much hate for V.I.P. when the previews were out. XD

Just managed to see it.

I wish I was up in that club with kuu, she looks damn gorgeous!

I still hate it. Can't stand it in fact. I'm speaking only in regards to the PV, which is fan-effing-tastic! Such a shame it was paired with this horrid song.

I think Kuu managed to give us something some fans always wanted of her since, I think, JUICY: her b**tchy-diva side. I like the concept of VIP's music video, but I'm not so amazed by it.

I thought it was kinda random of her to put models getting on while she was there sat with two guys with they both smelling her cheeks or she almost putting her fingers inside of one of the guys' mouth. Also, there was no need of her grabbing her... parts... like that, I thought it was unnecessary. And what about the song? The song is a complete mess (even more now we have it HQ) and I'm being honest when I say I really want her to get JUICY-feelings again and forget about this song. Really.

But I must say I just LOVED how she threw her drink over the girl, I was almost peeing myself after I saw that!! HAHAHA. This made my day, truly.

HAHAHA YES that was ****ing GREAT omg :thud

I love the grabbing of her parts! It's so like "**** you, you know I'm hot" :laugh

She should have slapped a ***** too instead of just throwing water....that would have been seriously funny. lol but the look she makes is priceless, like "what a dumb*** chick".

Love the black and white dress <3 The song definitely grew on me more, since in HQ certain parts are more prominent, makes the song feel less messy, but still definitely a gettin down and dancing song.

Koda owns right now :heart This also made my day after just being all depressed about the state of the world.

I really like V.I.P. PV, but the song is the same, like a mess XD, i really like her with that sexy and dirty image

V.I.P. omg! :love

This is the kuu I fell in love with :D This is why I love this *****!!!

Flawless as ****!! :thud



The song is like one of those songs that don't really hit the ball, but I like it, it's sexy, and it keeps me going for it :innocent

LOVE THIS HO

:roflmao
Best comment ever.

V.I.P. is soooo~~ freakin' awesome 100/10 points^^

The PV is sexy and fierce love it ♥

I still don't care for the song unfortunately, but the VIP's PV is really great :heart

I'm pretty much sure now that V.I.P and KO-SO-KO-SO must be connected together XD

Gorgeus PV for V.I.P. :luv2

I'm, sure of that, too!

Because of the ending--> the other woman^^

I think V.I.P. is a hot mess song! it´s somethin strange but so hot and sexy! love it!

Ok, like the video, but

WHY DOES SHE WEAR A MARINE HAT OF THE DDR?

I find it inappropiate to wear a marine hat of a state which was known for neglecting human rights and freedom in a music video which is about party and having fun.

Now I would like to know, do the japanese only not know what "Volksmarine" and the logo mean, so that it's a big fail or do they just don't care?
Whoever decided that Kumi should wear this hat should get fired. Even if the person don't know what the logo is about. You can't just give someone of a big label a military hat with a logo without making a research about its meaning.

I think it's not that big of a problem at all...

The marine does not necessarily have to be a bad thing imo...

Let's not get upset because of something like that:-(

^marine in general hasn't to be a bad thing, but together with the DDR it is, I think.

^you're kinda right;-)

I hope it doesn't offend many people.

I didn't even think about the DDR in the first place to be honest O.o

Well it's certainly not the wisest choice to wear such a hat, but let's be honest: Germany sadly has a lot of inappropriate choices to offer and the DDR is certainly not the worst...

Let's not get offended about these kind of things, the general public probably won't even notice...

I thought the lyrics to one of the songs mentions Kuu and an army of ladies, which is why she wore the hat? I read that in an earlier thread somewhere.

VIP is like Pop Diva take 2.

Really?
I think it's like something very new and fresh that can't be compared to another song...

I think he speak about the PV, not about the song ^^

It's the same with the PV :D

it's a little bit like TABOO's PV imo^^

^Yeah even the PVs have nothing to do with eachother. I agree about TABOO too

The only way the songs could be compared for me is their unusual layout compared to a majority of her songs

The beginning of V.I.P. PV is so like JUICY, but the whole PV is nothing special, like the most of her PVs, the same goes for the song, what I'm waiting for is KO-SO-KO-SO *___*

I found a download link in case anyone needs it :)

The song is alright, needs more time to grow on me though.

What's the correct tag for the Driving Hit's series? Is it "KODA KUMI DRIVING HIT'S" / "Koda Kumi Driving Hit's" / "Driving Hit's" / "Driving Hit's with house nation" ??? Ugh so confusing lol

Does anyone have a good tracklist for Driving Hit's 3? I want a complete tracklist because the generasia one for Driving Hit's 2 had so many errors so I don't trust their post for Driving Hit's 3.

The song is definitely a party song. It grew on me faster than I thought it would but it's still not as good as her other club hits.

IN THE AIR is the last PV and I just remember Kuu was on a bed, so maybe that's the aftermath of her steamy night? lol

the PV was amazing!! i love seeing kuu in the club. :cool :laugh i still love the song very much & the whole PV was just perfect. :heart

Where does PLC come in though? At the very end? She gets out of bed and runs around? lol.

I ripped my DH1 and 2 with iTunes and the tag for the first one was "KODA KUMI DRIVING HIT'S", and for the second "Driving Hit's 2" :roflmao Even avex doent know how to tag these albums. But I'm using KODA KUMI DRIVING HIT'S X for all three albums

Yeah, hopefully not. I'm not from East Germany, so I'm personally not really offended. But for example a good friend of mine was born in the DDR and her parents do not speak with her grandparents anymore because the grandparents betrayed the family. Although the DDR exists anymore it is strictly forbidden in her family to speak about politics, because her parents fear to get arrested. The whole family suffers from the past in the DDR and if I was my friend, I would feel very offended.

omg lmao. Damn her remix albums to hell for these awful tags. I'll just do "KODA KUMI DRIVING HIT'S X" as you to then. Thanks! Now I just need a correct as possible (a.k.a. direct from the CD or back of the CD case) tracklist to make sure Driving Hit's 3 is correct as possible.

I don't know if the Volksmarine hat is from that, too, but she wears the brand "House of Holland". Either way most people won't recognize where it comes from, not even here in Germany. And I personally think it's not a big deal. :shrug.

PV is nice, pretty usual formula for her, but that scene with her splashing the drink in the other girls face is priceless! :laugh

OMG... vip is perfection :heart She moves so sexy and I loved all the risque shots of people making out. HBIC, kumi!

Gubsi... please make a gif of Kuu splashing her drink in Ayu's/Namie's/BoA's/Utada's face like you do with everything else :laugh

PLC is at #9 on recochoku, IN THE AIR at #12 (RBT #6 and #19).

Go girl, go! :woohoo:

My Live DVD Singles Best were shipped today, yay!

^ Oh, I envy you, mine will be shipped only with Ai wo tomenaide, I'm not paying two shippings for these releases :P

Great numbers! Hope they get even better

Does someone know if Dejavu tour is still going on during August or will it just restart in September? I mean, a-nation' + tour would be too tiring for Kuu... And a break could mean some changes on the setlist and clothes <3

I would like to now that, too.

Especially I hope she gets to rest, because she sounds really tired and weak in the Dejavu Tour preview, even fans are worried=(

She has a small break right now, for a-nation and TV promotion I guess.
Next Dejavu concert is on 21st August. She won't be at a-nation on that day, cause it's at the same time. Just check her schedule at her official site, though I will always tell you, guys. ;)
Didn't think about it, but some changes for the tour could appear!

We can already see some changes on the tour, we know she has already added PLC on the encore, so... And I think she'll add more songs, like VIP on the first stage and IN THE AIR or Ai wo Tomenaide on the ballad stage. It's great 'cause when we get the DVD we'll be able to see these songs live on the stage of a tour already.

I'm pretty sure they were guys in the BUT PV. I read somewhere they were dressed in drag. Which makes me love it even more. I ♥ drag queens.

Still haven't watched the PV, I'm proud of myself. I'm curious about this hat. But, unless its a seriously obvious symbol, I don't think that people outside of Germany would understand.

Oh, that's good! And I tried seeing on her website, but the dates are a bit messy, with the original and the new dates, and adding my terrible Japanese, I understand nothing :roflmao

yeah...I have no idea what Volksmarine is, and koda probably doesn't either...

She can probably barely even read it...lol

I seriously question her sexuality sometimes. I love it. :lech

Koda's sexuality is "sexy" period lol. Good hot for a man or a woman so she gets plenty of both. :laugh

she should marry a woman :innocent

random thought

Anyone have the lyrics for PLC?

It'd be the bigger than the amniotic fluid scandal.

:laugh

The song is gettin better, but isnt my favorite of the single. The PV is hot and she looks gorgeous ♥

I dont know if you guys want this, but anyway. I edited the 4 TIMES cover (1500x1500) since I didnt found it in HQ:

Does anyone know when the rest of the pv's will be coming out?

:laugh I'd like to see her do that too (marry a woman)! :D

why you freak out brother?

I'd go completely straight for Kuu. Real talk, yo.

^If I wasn't dating my boyfriend, I'd go gay for Kuu! ;) (No joke and I'm bi! :laugh)

Koda would be like the best girlfriend ever lol She's an open book! She's a bit girly romantic...but I think I could deal....


And I really hate the idea of girls as girlfriends hahaha I think anyone would go for her.

:luv2 I wouldn't mind it either!

She should just marry me tbh
And I'm not even a lesbian lol

Sorry to be a little late to the conversation but...

Was that really a girl? :laugh I could swear it is a guy because of the narrow hips and, well, what appears to be a bulge in a few shots... or perhaps it is my imagination.

If this is something you guys are tired of hearing questions about, feel free to ignore me. :P


More on topic: I like her new song.
