I said I was not going to see the bookelt and PB pics till I got my copy of CtC, but with all those promo pics I don't think there'll be any new photo left :laugh

I just hope the booklet won't be 100% those colourful cushions photos..., she looks awesome on the Limited cover but I'm not crazy about most of those photos, at least some more from the CD only would be good, not to mention a totally different set.

if they bothered to do at least 2 sets, then it's most likely that there will be pictures from both sets ;)

Stooooop.

I hope you know that you just totally ruined this for me by saying that lol.

lol you guys are awesome.

Isn't that Cybil woman in like a movie with a taxi? Or something? I don't even know what she looks like :laugh

I actually like the cover, but I reall luv long hair on Kuu much much more, it makes her look much gorgeous
and I love her accessories there, omg :)

I don't see any resemblance. And it made me feel young again because I'm ~30 and never saw this woman :p

Yesasia made me smile xD

Look at the name :D The even created new cathegory for her.

I Just saw the cover for NAIL MAX. Gosh, that was gorgeous <3 I aso thought Color the Cover leaked. I just had a hunch it might have but it was misleading lol. :D

LOL...that's funny

roflmao @ Kuda Komi :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

As if we didnt have enough jokes with her name lol

Kuda means horse in the Malay/Indonesian language..

guys do you have single sales numbers for koishikute?

I actually already did that myself, thanks.

>> 6min Premium night preview from MTV
hopefully the dvd won't use this version coz the angle they take are horrible!

^ that's the digest made with the broadcasted version of the concert which is not even the same concert which was shot for DVD :P For sure it'll be much better

Can't view it in my region apparently?

:luv2:love:thud ****ing hot

i really dont care for the hair... unless if its just slicked back, that would be fine, I juust hope she didnt cut it that way!

I really can't wait to hear Driving Hits 5! I just hope there's no damn dubstep lol

I want Driving hits 5 as well!!

Where is this outfit from? I don't think I have seen it yet. Looks like candy. :D

Ahhh, gorgeous!! :love

omg pink spider has grown on me sfm... first time I heard it I was so sceptical, now I can't stop listening. This album needs to leak asap.

I thought so too, but I think there are little lipsticks on the skirt. I guess I just associate red and white stripes with candy canes or something.

Probably this outfit is for Shake Hip! PV. I'd guess it could be a third set for Color the Cover shoot, but as we've got tons of pics and none of them are like this, unlikely...

23,183

her lowest selling in quite some time

anyway hopefully the Cover album does good :D

well all those delays were shtty as *** :(
sad 'cause it's a good single...

HAHAHA, I looked at the pic for 5 seconds and immediately thought Cybill Shepherd. And not Moonlighting Cybill either, Cybill from that sitcom she had.

As for the cover, aside from her face, it's not TOO bad.

Well, it did pretty well digitally. I'm sure the gyaru just ate this ballad up on their phones, as they do.

DIME magazine scan

I like it!!

No one mentioned how she's kinda grabbing her boob :lech

a better audio version of Pink Spider: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTE3MDczNjc2.html

I really love this song <3

The ending is so creepy and cool, I love it.

thanks for posting~ She says she really wanted to cover Pink Spider. The other songs were selected in discussion with her staff. And apparently the beginning and ending performances of her new Arena Tour shows will be must-sees.

guiz, playing "stay with me" while it's snowing outside. So atmospheric and perfect. Holding my lighter up tbh.

http://i.imgur.com/7smecMV.jpg

omg those pics hahahaha

Is that dancer on the left new on the crew? She looks hot!

^
^ cute pics haha


I translated Pink Spider, if anyone's interested~

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 :(

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. :shrug

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.

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

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.

^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.

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

why is this taking so long to leak T__T

My order for Color The Cover CD+DVD+PB is now "In Shipping Process" yay~! Hope I'll get it Monday :luv2:luv2:luv2

idk where they got it from but from tumblr

Lol that guy's face in the second screencap :laugh

That first screencap... hot diggity damn!

BOOBS


@taskinillusion. I know her from Taxi Driver, and I'm a huge Martin Scorsese fan. We're about close to the same age I think.

The video (found on baidu!): http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTE3NzU0Mzgw.html
Password: KODAKUMI

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.

guys, you can see PAPARAZZI book previews and screencaps of Pink Spider & Shake Hip! PV makings on peeproom :)

guys leeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkk!!! :heart

edit: どうにもとまらない intro with 2NE1 "I'm Busy" Teas oh lord...

I love One more time,One more chance :love :heart

edit: I really love this album :heart Pink Spider, Shake Hip, One more time,One more chance and Otoko are my favorites <33 I only don't really like '歌は我が命', and Alone is kinda filler to me, but aside from those two, I really love Color The Cover :heart :heart

omg downloading it like there's no tomorrow

oooo there's also color the cover booklet photos up @ peeproom~


...she looks so short to me lately lol

omg perfect

sobbing

its just so gooood

I'm so in love with Pink Spider, it's orgasmic in HQ! Can't wait to listen to the rest of the album, and i actually like Lovely now lol.

Those pics looks more like for the pamphlet than the interlude movies.

Downloading CTC right now. And the booklet is so beautiful! Can't wait to have mine.

omg woopee!!!

Only at track 5 and I have to sleep now, but she is awesome. I'm really happy with the arrangements so far. I'm so proud. And her vocals are really, really nice.


Also, I upped the album to my skydrive in case anyone ever needs it. http://sdrv.ms/15aQmfz

Dear god XD

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BDymgh-CIAEuh0N.jpg

any large covers for CTC?

http://www.generasia.com/wiki/Color_The_Cover

I uploaded them on generasia a few days ago (except Lawson one), surprised no one else did, the Lawson one I can't find in bigger

thank you!!!

OMG One more time, One more chance is an anime film theme song!!!! this is a pleasant surprise!
Blue Velvet and Otoko are awesome. Shake Hip!'s slightly underwhelming towards the end. would love to see the PV :) Dou ni mo Tomaranai is WOOTS!

Shake Hip! PV...
omg lmao kumies dolls i love this!
http://www.yinyuetai.com/video/613029

This is what I think about the CTC:

Pink Spider: One of the best songs of the year imo, strong beat and a lot of auto-tune helped to bring a really cool feeling. 10/10

Shake Hip: Another cool song, the erokakkoi I wanted so badly. I don’t give 10 cause the ending is kinda too long, like BE MY BABY, but still a good song. 9/10

Lovely: So damn cute, from head to toe. Since the first time I can’t stop singing LOVELY LOVELY WAY CAN’T YOU SEE THE WAY IT’S A… 10/10

Jounetsu: Jazz and Blue style, the good part is that Kumi have a lot of soul in her voice, cause it sounds great. 8/10

One more time, One more chance: Refreshing ballad, sounds like a b-side but in a cool way. 7/10

Alone: Gorgeous gorgeous and gorgeous, should have a PV too on Koishikute single. 9/10

Blue Velvet: I don’t know why, but it didn’t stand out for me. Not bad but not great at the same time. 6/10

“Otoko”: Was this an anime song? It really sounds like. Can’t wait to see this live with the crowd singing along the chorus. 8/10

Dou ni mo Tomaranai: WHY SO SHORT? :( So freaking good, the beginning is a lot kpopish and I love it, and I bet that Minzy is going crazy with this song. Probably will be on a medley during the tour. 9/10

Koyoi no Tsuki no You ni: What a nice midtempo! ENCORE song for sure, calm and heartwarming. Such a lovely way to end an album. 9/10

Uta wa Waga Inochi: Was that the version of the Misora Hibari Memorial Concert? The crowd sounds so more loud on the video. Anyway, this is song is so beautiful that doesn ‘t matters. Five stars for this one. 10/10.

Overall, I cant see this album as a cover album, it’s more “Koda Kumi” than some of her albuns… Yeah, I’m looking at you, Dejavu.
Can you imagine JAPONESQUE and Color The Cover together on a setlist? How am I supposed not to be excited about JAPONESQUE Tour?

Oooh yay! So many goodies today! :D Just downloading the album, can't wait to listen to it!

The Shake Hip PV is epic, I love it! And I so need the photobook, the previews are gorgeous! :love

Vivi preview!

http://d1uzk9o9cg136f.cloudfront.net...3686_large.jpg

Although I'm going to wait until I receive my copy to look at the photobook and listen to the album, I'm happy to see that many of you have given such positive reviews of it! I was originally on the fence about purchasing this album when it was first announced as it is a cover album and not a studio album, but from what has been said, she really made the songs her own! I'm really happy that I decided to purchase it and I can't wait to receive it! It's going to be hard to resist though, lol!

Color The Cover is so flawless! Loving shake hip! pv too, can't wait for pink spider.

Downloading the album now~ Can't wait to hear it.

All those picture looks great :heart

Does anyone have any news on the up coming tour?

I love Dou ni mo Tomaranai and Otoko. Solid album :heart

I L:heartVE Color the Cover. :luv2

The only song I'm kinda meh on is Blue Velvet, but the rest is just yes.

:thud

Kuu is my Queen 5ever. :yes

@TeamAyu2004 It's the JAPONESQUE Tour and we already know how the stage will looks like (well, kinda) and most of the goodies are out already. The tour will be a mix of JAPONESQUE and Color The Cover.

I was manly thinking dates.
but where can i see pictures of the goodies?

The tour will have it's first two dates at the Saitama Super Arena on March 16 and 17. :yes

Go to to Top sounds better on mute.

I found the full tour list on her website!!
Im planning to go to the Yokohama stage... MAYBE aomori one as well!

Kono mama Shake Hip! Shake Hip!
Do you know my mind
Do you know my mind mind mind, my my...

It's struck in my head XDDDDD I luv it!!!!
And those 3 PVs are awesome, colorful and Kuu is gorgeous. Kuu's PVs deserve a blu-ray release more than Ayu's. lol

Just watched Pink Spider PV and it's kinda boring, srsly. The better scenes are out (she shooting the screen) and nothing happens. Just a bunch of random scenes that doesn't even have a connection if you don't know the story.

Color the Cover is awesome. I still don't know if I like it better than ETERNITY or not, but it's really a solid album.
My favorites so far are Pink Spider, Shake Hip!, One more time, One more chance, Otoko and Dou ni mo Tomaranai.

The only song I don't like is Uta wa Waga Inochi. I love her voice and the way she sings in it, but the song is not my style at all.

The booklet/photobook looks hot as hell! I can't wait to receive my copy <3

I'm really disappointed with the album..

however, i like pink spider, blue velvet & otoko

http://kumi-flash.blogspot.co.uk/201...aponesque.html and http://shop.mu-mo.net/a/st/event/koda1302/ :yes

along with Pink Spider and Shake Hip!, I really like Dou ni mo Tomaranai and Jounetsu. One more time, One more chance is nice too

Love the cover album. It's so good, it doesn't feel like a cover album at all. I especially love Blue Velvet, Otoko and Dou ni mo Tomaranai.

And of course Shake Hip! and Pink Spider. It's a shame Pink Spider has so much autotune because Kuu is such an awesome singer with an amazing voice and I feel that autotune somewhat ruined that in this song.

Those towels :heart Love the Koda Gumi Shop towel, I suppose that one is only for fanclub members?
