IF she stays cubby the whole ero kakoii would not happen I think - and this is the one that gives her a boost since Crazy 4 U

omg I am having such a time discovering all these b-sides that I totally just glanced over before.

If there's anything I could learn from Koda's entire discography, is that she's consistent. I really love that. I feel like every song is imbued with pieces of her that I love. Even if the song isn't my favorite...it's like, it's still Koda and it's got her feel.

Does anyone else love Bounce? <3

Yes that's exactly why she's my absolute favourite.

She's super authentic and can't be compared to anyone else.

Every song is 100% her*-*

Mine are those + Boys♥Girls, Into your heart, Yogiri no Honey, faraway, Yume with U

ahh I have to go and rediscover all of these.

I'm redoing adding all my music back into itunes, and so far, I only put in Koda's discog...I think I'll keep it like this for a while.

always <3

Kuu's like a Queen of B-sides or something. Once Again, saigo no ame, whole LOVE&HONEY single, Your Song, yume With You, one, LOVE HOLIC, Run For Your Life and Bounce are my favorites. But my ultimate favorite is Heat feat.MEGARYU, such a hot song! :heart

always and bounce are my top favorite b-sides. I was also a big fan of lady go, when it first came out, but then I realized that it's really just WIND part 2. :/ I'm amazed that faraway is considered a b-side, didn't it even get a pv? idk but imo b-sides shouldn't get a pv if they aren't even going to be on an album.

faraway got a PV , and i think bounce is her best B-SIDE i consider it like an A-SIDE but always and a lot of her b-side songs are really nice !

Avex stop releasing Out works just to promote weird lisa and others we want B-SIDE Collection :grumpy

Pop that ***** girl :shimmy

I love how her shoes match her top.

(and I <3 your set)

My favorite b-side is probably Saigo no Ame, followed by Bounce.

They're just too damn good.

For me her best b-side is Always (and her best song ever in my opinion).

Heat is probably my favorite also.

I recently rediscovered Into your Heart it's so good. :yes I also heard Sweet Kiss for the first time a few weeks ago and it's pretty decent.

Her best b-side (though it was put on a compilation) was taisetsu na kimi e, from the Butterfly single. It's so cute and one of my favorites to see her perform live!

But I agree, almost all of her b-sides are great. I love Good Day so much!

I love Boys♥Girls, Saigo no Ame, Heat, Good☆day, Come Over, Once Again, Lady Go! and every b-side on FREAKY.

^omg I totally glanced over the whole FREAKY single when it came out, because I was mostly only into her dancey tracks, and I didn't really like FREAKY...but that single is totally awesome. Run for your life is <3. I really like the Kaskade mix too.

Run For Your Life totally should have been a single like it was originally planned. Anytime is a good single too though, so I don't mind, but I :heart RFYL and the video.

I always could not get why Heat was so loved. I went through a really crazy Ku b-side phase and Heat was one I always tried to force myself to like, but it just never fully kicked in :(

It might sound odd but does Kuu have a big gay following? because I always imagine her to.

^lol anyone fabulous has a big gay following.

TRUE DAT.

:yes that's why I have one too :mischief

^oh, you and me both.

And I expect, Nemesisyume and RikkuChi lol

^ :laugh awesome people are awesome :D

^Yes :D

I suspect juicy and Gubsi have one too...but well, I think that's more obvious lol

LOL oh my God we're gonna create some tough competition for Kuu

I have a question for you guys, what do you think is the actual value of the Hot Stuff CD+DVD Edition? I know it was produced in limited quantity, therefore I thought it would have a higher price than normal singles have atm. But I saw someone sell the Japan CD+DVD Version for 15USD and was wondering, did the single sell bad or idk, is it unpopular or something like that? I mean, until now I was always under the impression that when something is limited and sold out in regular shops, people would sell it for a high price. Especially if it sold out since years.

where I can find some of Kumi makings to download? Like Hands , Butterfly , Promise

I bought Fly high for only 15 bucks and look at how limited that was lol. Think of it as a lucky find for yourself.

I need a preview!!!!

^ MEEEH TOO :weep

I friggin love you. :laugh :heart

Ok cool, thanks!:) Will buy it tomorrow:heart


I would love to see the new covers for the next single!:yes Her ballad covers like Ai no uta and such are so beautiful!

It really depends on how much demand there is for the item. Like, I got 4 hot wave limited first press for $12USD. These singles are old, and some people just want to get rid of them because they are no longer interested in the artist or the song. However, I was looking into finding the limited first press of Kana Nishino's singles and albums and they are waaaaay more expensive because she is the "it girl" and they weren't released that long ago.

EDIT:

I have hands, Butterfly, Promise/Star and many others. Is there an official Kuu making of thread? Perhaps I should make one :P

Kuu has the biggest gay following (in Japan) out of the divas, I think. She has been very vocal about homosexuality for years and is a supporter of it. Do I need to dig out that quote about she thinks love is love regardless of gender?

:lech by gay following do you mean gay guys constantly wanting to get into my JUICE? if so yes. yes i do.

make the thread you two! gogogogo.

I stan for the people who constantly contribute here too. :love

Okay, let's see... I have... 30 of them. How many exist in total?

I would guess Kuu has quite a gay following, yeah.

I'm also thinking Ayu's has increased after the Lady Dynamite PV, speaking slightly off-topic!

I will count :D

UNIVERSE MAKING

^ there's a making for Taboo, not just a photoslide, and there's a making of for all the pvs on Third Universe including You're so beautiful and Superstar.

You also forget ECSTASY, Lick Me and Hashire. I've seen a making of for those.

The ones from UNIVERSE, KINGDOM, 12 single collection and TRICK are all-in-one videos, well, the ones I have are, but I know where I can get some of them individually. I also have a bunch of random ones listed above.

^ that all-in-one video thing wasn't the case for TRICK :) the making clip of each PV was hidden on the DVD. the making of 3 SPLASH PVs is in LQ cause it was released online just as Kingdom, UNIVERSE and 12 single collection

I think there is a making clip for JUICY only too.

I was just typing from the tracklists

- About taboo - its listet twice - ones for slide show one for maklng video
- About 3SPLASH - it wasnt reeleased on DVD then I think xD
- About KINDGOM are those on KINGDOM same as those makings from DVD on Hidden menu? (you have to click on KODA eye to watch those)

Oh, I know the TRICK ones were separate, but whoever uploaded the one that I downloaded made them all one large file. It's 33 minutes long.

I see :p

so I found the making clips for JUICY and With your smile + I'll be there in I love Kuu

Preview of Suki de, Suki de, Suki de.

OMG first BoA and now Kuu. epic day! I think I'll die today of too much awesomeness.
I'm so in love with it :thud

Well, I have the individual files...

Downloading Kuu preview now...

It sounds so sweet :heart
Why do you make me love you so much, Kumi?

suki de, suki de... suuuuuki dee :heart

omg I am so in love with it!

Suki de... sounds so sweet! This may be one of her best ballads ever!

I'm not liking the song so far but it is only a 45 second preview so the full version could change my mind.

Argh this preview is so sweet! I'm in love!
first i was like oh... kaaaay? this song is nice...
...
BUT then i was: GOSH IT'S SO SWEET! *____*
and the arrangement is pure :heart!!

Sounds like it will be beautiful :heart

is there a streaming site for the preview?

The preview sounds a bit generic to me, it's nice but not OMG GREAT to me. But it's only a preview, so.. ^^

I love the preview, much better than I expected.

Previews never work for me, I'm mostly pretty neutral towards them so I have to wait for the full thing, lol.
But it does sound nice so far, hope it has a great climax.

From her FC:

今年10周年を迎える倖田來未が、自身の名曲「愛のうた」にも匹敵する名曲バラード 「好きで好きで好きで」をリリース！

Translation by ce31 @ JPM:

^ never mind ai no uta, release something that can rival No Way or hands XD

Can someone upload it to youtube????Mediafire is a *****!!!

The preview is so epic oh god :weep waaay better than i expected i love this kind of ballad omg :weep

LOL this! :yes

like for most previews of any artiste , I usually will not listen as it doesn't do justice to a full song eventually

luckily I didn't heard the previews for Gossip Candy as the comments I read were X_X

so I'm not going to do it this time round again x)

i wonder why so many people like "ai no uta", i never like that song...especially on this part "ai no utaaaaaAAAA!! nana na nana nana naaaaaaAAAA!!!!" i don't like the way she shout the last part...
for me the best kuu ballad is "you" and it's still my fav kuu song so far, runner up is "but"

I uploaded the preview on Youtube:

Thanks!!!!
It sounds really amazing!!!

I think I'll like it when the full things is released. Definitely see myself liking this.

thank u corvina I love the preview so much!

*____* :heart:heart:heart

just heard the preview. I love it, I love it, I LOOOOVE it! And this is unlikely for me, normally I don't like or don't care much about the previews! I am so so happy I preordered this single! Can't wait for gorgeous covers and epic PVs!! kuu kuu, you're amazing :D

The preview sounds gorgeous! :heart I don't really like judging songs by the previews, but I really can't wait to hear the full song. *__* It's already stuck in my head.

I don't like the previews but I bet I'll love the full song <3

I want the full song NOW! It´s stuck in my head~

The preview sounds nice but I still need to hear the full version to make a better judgment. I just want to listen to her alternate version of walk. I love that song to pieces.

Okay, so, which is the uploading service of choice for the making ofs? MegaUpload? MediaFire?

this :heart

preview yeah sounds generic..
let's see the full version
i want walk!!

Maybe use Multiupload? Then everyone can choose..

Mediafire please, Megaupload is a ***** :D

i love the Suki de preview! :heart it sounds like it'll be a strong ballad.

all the Japanese fans are in love with ai no uta, it's the song they sing right before her encores on her tours! i think this song can deffo rival it! it sounds amazing.

Hmmm... I think I like it but I don't want to get my hopes up too much because previews never really represent the whole song very well... But I just love the "suki de, suki de, SUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII DE!!!" part A LOT... I can see this song being my Kumi version of "Days." <333333 I think I've discovered I have a thing for bittersweet ballads LOL.

suki de, suki de.... SUUUUUUKIIIIIIIII DEE. i :heart it too :laugh

it's been a long time since i've been like YES~~~~ ballad!

Can someone re upload the preview the MF link doesn't wanna work.

Please, let it be more successful than Ai no Uta... I hate this song with a passion. :laugh

I like the preview :yes

Good idea. I'm gonna start by downloading a few I don't have, and when I get back from the doctors I shall start uploading. It might take some time because I have work, a bunch of school stuff and other small things to do in life, so please be patient. I don't think it will take too long, but I doubt it will all be done by tomorrow:P Also, in terms of creating a thread, did someone want to help with making it, like perhaps a banner and help organizing it? Tsubasa, am I right to think that you wanted to help with some of it?

I like the preview :)

dislike the preview. it sounds like ai no uta part 2. :/

new song, "Hey baby!", will be the new theme song for Crayon Shin-Chan. "GO WAY!!" was also used for the program back in 2006.

^ Oh, that's... great! Is it probably a song from an upcoming album?

OMG IT'S LIKE KUUMAS IN AUGUST!!!

Hey baby! sounds like it will be cute. I love GO WAY!!

Love Shine, I will help with graphic work for the thread if you want. PM me!

New song! :luv2

I hope it doesn't SOUND like GO WAY!! though....

So maybe Hey baby will be bonus track for suki de single , or digital song ?

The message says 'Hey Baby' is a poppy dance song that's entertaining for all ages.

I don't like GO WAY!!.. sounds too much like Shake It Up for me
but I hope Hey baby! will be cool :)

I like Shake it Up though... GO WAY doesn't sound anything like that in my opinion...

[edit]

Okay I relistened and they do sound a little alike lol. Still like shake it up way more though. Oh-y oh-y yoooooooooooo <3

Thanks for sharing, but where exactly did you find that info...? I'm only asking because it was mixing Japanese and Chinese apparently. O___O Like "现在" was written instead of "現在" (I'm assuming it's 現在 from context; I don't know anything about Chinese but the character 现 isn't even used in Japanese) and also they spelled "Koda" with the wrong kanji. And then there's some other wth things in the bottom half.
