Imo, since Kingdom era and later, it seems every albums have done for selling special features such as concert more than album-self (exceptional for Japonesque and most of single tracks). The songs were produced indiscriminately just to complete album, nothing to make phenomenon on chart or remember.

by the way, Like It, WOML and leaked demo in this era, now, still can't impresses me and i don't think i can grow on them. i hope that song, the song that can make me feel will be appeared soon.i don't want to pass this era without memory

It's awesome, whenever I come home either Ayu or Kuu (or both) is showing us something, the dance in Like it is already my jam, learning it asap :3

haha no I do that too lol

Well... "Like it" is not what I expected. PV is fine but song itself is boring.

On JPS there's making of Like it video, 25min, 3gb

Kumi's interview for VANITYMIX http://www.vanitymix.jp/music/kumi-koda/
If someone could translate, or even say to us some of the highlights (she talks about a couple of songs), it would be awesome! :)

I like the "Like it" pv better than "walk of my life" vid... the song was better too o.o but maybe once i get the cd and bluray that will change

Looooooove Like It. Both song and PV. Album is really shaping up for me :)

like it pv is too urban for my taste. I don't think this style fits her. Kumi has always danced but it has all been under her ero-kawaii style. Now that she's moving away from it and she's actually going hardcore urban...... :no. I feel like she's going namie on us after she sucked ayu's style dry. :(

Um, Kuu's always been more urban influenced, and never anything like Ayu. Hott Stuff much?

Like, did you completely miss TOUCH DOWN, or...? Kuu's music has always had much more of an urban sound than Ayu's.

This whole Namie-Ayu-Kuu comparison is so tired. They each have very unique styles, ways of performing, and approaches to their music. Kuu didn't "jack" Ayu's style, nor is she now trying to pull some invasion-of-the-body-snatchers shit with Namie. So let's just stop.

Kuu going urban after sucking ayu's style? LMAOOOOO :roflmao I don't even know where to start with this omg

I start to think melissalove is just a troll xD

The PV is a little boring for me, but the song :heart

Okay, Like It is totally my jam right now. And can we please take a moment to appreciate Kuu's athleticism? Aerial cartwheels, flips and whatever the sport of biking is called? BMX? Or is that a rap artist...? Oh, and the there was the drumming for Japo tour!

Anyway, mad props to Kuu for constantly improving. Makes me love her more :)

suggestion #1: let's agree to disagree
Suggestion #2: I can compare the 3 as much as i want. Unfortunately Hun i live in America.

Ohhh... and when you do start, it's gonna be soooooo scary, i'm sooo scared right now. :mischief


Oh.. so i'm suddenly a troll because what??, i have different opinions. so anyone you disagree with for whatever reason is a troll.. that makes no sense but "ok" :foff

omg I love the song and PV! Finally I feel like kuu is doing something new and exciting!

The PV is very simple but amazing for focusing on the dancing.

more LIKE IT!!

Kuu's voice was made for R&B, would die if there was a DJ Mustard sounding song on this

need more listens..It's not exactly my kinda style but I LOVE that part with the trumpets-band sound

One thing is having an opinion like you said disliking the song cause it's urban. Another thing is saying non-sense like Kuu getting urban now when she's been on the urban sub label of avex since her debut, collaborated with tons of rappers and so on :innocent Yes, you are free to do whatever you like, so go on and keep on making such an image of yourself if you want to.

^mmm could we pass without calling anyone names? that would be nice :)

Also, folks, we have people on here that are more trollish than this one. *rolleyes* She doesn't make me want to punch the living out of her. And some folks on here do make me want to do so with their remarks, or statements. In tis case, what can you do if a person hear what they hear? Nothing.

I always thought Kuu was into the urban o_O the only thing that might look Ayu-ish is maybe her ballads but even those, quite a few of them seem to be r&b...
I mean i've only been into her stuff for a little while now, and i can't quite see the Ayu style anywhere apart from some of her ballads and their videos. the rest is always very sexy and dancey or at the least - fun. *shrugs* But you know.

I personally think the video is rather borring and repetetive, the song is megh as well. But some parts do get to me. So we'll see. The only stuff that always bugs me is the lyrics, my brain eventually just automaticly shuts them off lol
