:yes

gotta agree with you on that

looks like the scandal did some good to her after all , post scandal I mean in that it allows her to clean up her act , dress sense wise

I just wonder what if that didn't happen though

She Would Probably Be Like She Was In Juicy Or Something

I Did Love That Song And PV Thopugh Lol!

If so, then someone deserves a raise :innocent

:roflmao

I still think that the song & PV is a Koda classic hands down

:laugh

& that will be the new stylist that she has hired ?

Definitely! Her Style Before Was Pretty Bad Sometimes >_<



They Definitely Are A Classic! Even My Friend Who Hates J-Pop Loves It Lol!

haha :laugh

for obvious reasons :innocent

Lol!!! It's Definitely Dirty Enough To Be In America XD

I have to agree that Kuu's photoshoots lately have been really good. I saw her ViVi pics the other day and I just had to make 2sets out of them. I'll prolly do the Fergie and Kuu shoot next. :bchuck

As for her style, I still think it's a hit and miss. :dead2 I mean, her What's In shoot was "wtf" IMO. I just not a fan of those sparkle blue leggin's. :no If you ask me, her style is starting to become more like Fergie's! Just take a look at her shoot with Fergie, you definitely see a comparsion.

Ture She Did Look Very Similar To Fergie But Maybe They Wanted Them To Dress Somewhat Alike?

She looks soooo cute there! I'm shocked! She's been looking great lately!

ya I really love style now
Better this way
she can be sexy even without bikinis or whatsoever

^I don't think Kuu looks good in bikinis. :no She looked a hot mess in the Birthday Eve cover/promo pic.

^Kuu does not have a bikini body. I totally agree.

Omg, her tights x_x.

^I'm so sick of people thinking it's okay to wear tights like they're pants.

same for me I also don't get it

omg i was just looking at random kumi pics and i came across this

http://i32.tinypic.com/108czyh.jpg

please someone tell me you know where it's from!

Okkkk, I admit that I was lagging a bit today and I still have to wrap up a Hikki review and would like to do another single before I sleep sooo it may not be my best review but I still think it's all right lol.

The album of the day from Kumi....
secret folks!!!
http://destinyline.wordpress.com/200...-studio-album/

Hope you enjoy!!
Which one will be tomorrow...stay tuned to find out!

Omg, yes. Her tights are hideous :puke and they look so tight and uncomfortable :no. I can't believe she wore them. And even though I like blue, it looks hideous as tights.

Thanks :D, I love reviews.

that's from her calendar '07 dude

do you know where i can find scans? :love

I actually have last year's magazine scans in my mp3 except they're pretty small (to me that's)

do you want me to upload them via photobucket for you ?

yes pleeassee!

:D

oh wow, she looks gorgeous!

oh my GOD, those are beautiful!

When I left there where 17 pages and now 21.... :thud
What have you guys done?

So, what's the recent subject?

no idea Kristel cos when I logged on this morning , it stopped at page 20 :O

recent subject - erm the fact that postitute wanted to know where this pic was taken from :

http://i32.tinypic.com/108czyh.jpg

It's multi quote time :sdevil

Yeah, we need a dance song now.
Like Hot Stuff or Selfish.

...... whut?!
You liar. I would've have noticed that!

my thoughts.

I agree, don't get we wrong, I love FREAKY. but BUT is like, totally hot "you know you love yourself".

Yes, some people call BUT repetitive but I don't think that is true.
I think it's addictive (like you milky) and it's an awesome song.

I always that she said "**** you far".

XD, LOL.
But I have to say, her english has improved.

Gorgeous. I really like the calander.

when your mind is in the gutter, doll legs look like dildos ok

besides it makes the video seem more fun if he was juggling dildos instead...

karen, they're so beatiful
thanks for sharing

oh speaking of kuu's engrish, in the BUT making video, she says this

"VERY SOFT TO TOUCHING MOUTH.... THANK YOU" and she said mouth like mouse it was so cute, she was saying it about the girl she kisses in the video.

And I thought I had a dirty mind. :laugh

:S

Koda should know that after you use the word 'to' , the word will be in present tense ie. instead of saying to touching mouth , it should be to touch mouth

LOL :laugh

"touching mouth" is Present Continious (no idea if I spelled it right).
So that means she would still be doing it.

To quote the amazing song that is Amai Wana:

"心よりXXXより強い絆で私
kokoro yori XXX yori tsuyoi kizuna de atashi"

What does the XXX stand for?

^maybe some rude word? :shrug

her hair & ourtfits are better for me than the old the cutest pre-Kingdom ones
she looks mature & sexy both

and all those sparkling leggings and such 'crazy' things are just into fashion now, Kuu is stylish, so she wears it

honestly, I don't want her to dress classic. I don't want Ayu to dress classic either
maybe cuz personally I hate classic, it seems so boring to me
I like bright strange mixes & such and cool casual/sporty outfits...whatever...

and I still luv Secret - Best~SS~ look 4eva. she looked best in it and that's my opinion, even if it was dirRty and had lots of lingerie

That's the thing - I want to know which word it is. :P

she looks awesome in the calender! =D
i love having it up on my wall..
i wanna have the other pics shown too... but the calenders too nice to pull apart!! ><"

aw :(

I somehow prefer last year's calendar pics than this year's ones

& don't get me started on the calendar cover too -_-

Kuu really looks gorgeous in those calendar pics. :yes I don't like the bikini one tho. Her body looks so oddly shaped. The orange dress pic is my favorite outta the bunch. All of her dress are realy cute tho. I wish to own them even tho I know they are going to cost alot. :bchuck

The calendar's gorgeous, though the bikini picture makes her body look...odd.

Why is she playing softball or whatever in high heels? That can't be comfortable. But I actually like that outfit.

And Leggings also bother me, especially bright colored legging. >_<

Yup, her styles are a hit and miss (okay, mostly miss) for me.

My fav is the second to last pic :D

I have a quick question. On Yesasia there are two versions of Kingdom (ALBUM+2DVD)(First Press Limited Edition)(Japan Version). One is $57 and the other is $61...

http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.asp...id-1005135769/

http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.asp...id-1005148525/


Is it just a mistake by Yesasia O_O?

edit*
Wait nevermind!

ive got scans of the scawaii, i saw someone wanted them.. i didnt know if they had already been posted or not. if you would like to me upload them, let me know :)

Wow...this woman is a true Japanese beauty! Very pretty...

ok now I have a question about the calendar '07

*ahem ahem*
Why is there no freakin' scans and only pictures taken with a camera :grumpy


that calendar is gorgeous!
and many graphics could have been done :innocent

Ok, after playing 'Break It Down' non-stop for about three hours, I'm convinced that it should've had a PV.

Break It Down RULES!!!!!!
I thought of a PV idea but it's pretty simplistic but I like it lol

^ I want to know!!! Does it include choreography? :P

yeah a little bit!!!
that little part at the beginning with the phone, basically she checks her messages and when the guy finishes then the video starts like for real

Basically, there are scenes of her sitting on the floor of her house in a really pretty white kimono. And the room she's in is more like a traditional Japanese room I suppose but the house itself is pretty modern. Then there are scenes where she is outside under a cherry blossom tree as they fall. There are also the little scenes of choreography and there are also scenes of her walking lol. Like not totally slow-motion but slower than average speed as she walks down a small spiral staircase [like half of one].

That wasn't a very good explanation but yeah lol

I make ideas for all of the songs that don't have PVs in my head :yes. Some of them are really hard to come up with concepts but I'm proud of some of them :D

^ That's actually really good :yes

aww thanks!!
Just tell me if ya have another song that you'd wish had a PV and maybe I have one for it!!! that is, if we don't go too of the course of the subject at hand which is pretty much discussing pics so I think we're okay lol

I've never heard Break It Down -hiides-

and nobody answered my question :weep

you should hear it minna!! It's a good song :)
And I can't answer the question cause I don't really know. Since Karen brought the pics I'm sure she can tell you. If I'm understanding your question right...

:laugh that's ok thanks ;)


I should uh? XD it's on which album?

edit: gosh I should go sleep it's 00:13 am ... XDDDD

^ Feel My Mind

ok thnks I'll look for it :D

hahahhha, that's really funny "lylics"
I don't think feel my mind is as good as secret but it's still a really good album. Plus it has "Crazy 4 U" on it :)
Then again I don't think secret is her best album lol

lylics :laugh

it was kinda fitting with her ero image at that time :innocent


I have to confess myself...
I've never heard all her albums........




now it's time to HIDE

Don't worry, I'm a HUGE HUGE GINORMOUS Kumi fan and I still haven't heard "affection." I'm holding out for my copy...

but I've heard the rest so I'm redeemed.
That's okay minna :)

:shughug XD

aaww tnks :D XD

I think that it's because I've known her since Best ~ss~ and that I love this era & after
so I never checked a lot her earlier songs XD

some of them are defintely worth checking out though. I tend to prefer her later stuff too but they are so many gems in her earlier discography!

yeah I agree
I've hear some early songs
like crazy 4 U, butterfly, hands, cutie honey

I bought
Best ~B & L~ so I also have her 'old' ballads :)

yep yep, Crazy 4 U + Butterfly are AMAZING!!!
Before I had feel my mind, people were like it's crappy and whatnot but it's really good. grow into one too!! They definitely have some great songs that I would whole-hardly recommend

I love m.a.z.e. :heart

I really like m.a.z.e. and although it's not the best on the album for me, it's still really good :)

I prefer love across the ocean, Nasty girl, Ranhansha and S.O.S. ~sound of silence~

oh yeah I heard m.a.z.e too :yes
really but really good song !


SO I should download the old albums XD

yeah you should!!!!
I haven't heard affection but grow into one and feel my mind are both great albums!!!
and if you haven't heard secret in full, YOU SHOULD!! :)

^^ Yes.

I'm in the process of trying to hear all of kuu's earlier stuff. I might sound silly but I'm just afraid that I might be disappointed in it. I mean, I heard Trust Your Love and I thought it was straight up horrible. :/ Then I heard meaning of peace and lets just say I wanted to hate j-pop for a while. XD

I like grow into one the best even though I haven't heard affection, secret, and feel my mind LOL.

hmm, I love "Trust Your Love" - it's MUCH better than TAKE BACK, trust me.
grow into one and feel my mind have some great tracks if you haven't heard them and I could recommend some if you want :yes
that is, the ones you haven't heard of course

^ I would really appreciate it. Which songs should i hear first off her 1st 3 albums?

:laugh


well on my side, what also make me not listening to her earlier songs
is that it sometimes has that...not hip-hop but y'know that kind of sound
that isn't far from that sometimes
dunno

maybe it's just me

I don't have affection so I can't recommend on that one except for "Trust Your Love" which I would have said lol

grow into one:

- real Emotion
- 1000 no Kotoba
- S.O.S. ~sound of silence~
- m.a.z.e.
- Ranhansha
- Nasty girl
- love across the ocean

feel my mind:

- Break It Down
- Crazy 4 U
- Rain
- Without Your Love
- Get Out The Way
- Gentle Words
- COME WITH ME

:)

I have all of Kuu's discography on my iTunes but I have never listened to the majority of it. Nothing before the Black Cherry singles interest me.

From affection I'd recommend COLOR OF SOUL, walk, and Best friend of mine :D

dddaiyamondo
not even Best ~ss~ :eyes ?????

XD

I love it so much~



I heard SOS
and didn't like it a lot....XDDDD

S.O.S. and Ranhansha were the 2 songs that made me buy grow into one XD
BEST ~second session~ is AWESOME!!!
feel...it's just way tooo amazing

From grow into one, I really love 'Teaser' too.
Best intro she's had on an album :yes

Teaser is awesome and should be made into a full song...
However I still believe (and am probably the only one who thinks so)...
Introduction For Kingom > all her other intros

I LOVE TEASER. Its like one of the best songs on the album LOL.

Welp, Kumi review time again folks!!
Album of the day...Black Cherry!!!

http://destinyline.wordpress.com/200...-studio-album/

hehehe, it's getting kinda hard trying to do Kumi + Hikki but it gets done ;)
Stop by and take a look

What will come tomorrow...stay tuned to find out!

oh goody Kevin , will take a look see at it now

to me BC's an amazing album coming from her . The pics , songs , everything's just ace

thanks Karen!!!!
I love the album too, plus JUICY is on it soooo...

haha JUICY :innocent

one of the song to really get me into Kuu!!
and I love the instrumentation, it's just sooo cool :)

haha I know what you mean

for a moment there I thought you were referring to the infamous PV :innocent

actually I saw the PV for the first time as I listened to the song for the 1st time
It was amazingly catchy and the sexiness was something I wasn't used to at the time [all I knew was Ayu and Hikki lol]
Very different...but something that hooked me from the very start lol

this's so cute - http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Koda-Kumi-Kum...QQcmdZViewItem

Maybe because the pics are quite horrible that nobody wanted to scan them because they where afraid their scanner might explode because of the big font on the cover?

XD so true.

Yaaay for JUICY.
I think JUICY is one of her best song (well certainly one of her best PVs)

Aw, it's very cute.

LOL

for the record I have not seen how the calendar cover looks like with regards to last year's one

this year's one is terrible which was buchered by the huge ass font/wordings

IMO BC is alittle bit dissapointing, especially the lyrics booklet. i thought it will be many pic and gorgeous pic but what i found is only some image and i dont think that those pic are my cup of tea :thud and surprisingly, i always thought kingdom is so yaiks, but since karen bought it for me, i saw the lyrics booklet, WOW ITS SOO GREAT! all the pics are sooo awesome! thx karen, i really love it^^

guess you don't dig the victorian inspired like getup in BC , Seb but I personally like it

I find Kingdom a bit disappointing though

haha really? :D i think the victorian style dress is good but i dont think the angle that she made is pretty, sorry to day this, but her face really looks so round in some of the pic
