SO FEVER: https://www.sendspace.com/file/sqnvcr
And I'm uploading the last one right now so I'll edit later :) |
Thank you for sharing and uploading!
I love her outfit in the SO FEVER PV where she has the tiny butterflies on her skin as well. sooo pretty |
Thanks so much for sharing the PVs. so in love with the new songs!
|
here's NEVER GIVE IT UP
https://www.sendspace.com/file/d3tcqg |
Thank you again!
I think NEVER GIVE IT UP is actually my favorite PV of the new ones now that I watched it |
Quote:
i just love funny PV from Kuu, i still love her funny and colorful pv like Bambi |
I'm loving SO FEVER :heart
|
Thank you for all your uploadings
|
where are those rips from? baidu? are they real dvd rip?
|
I absolutelly love NEVER GIVE IT UP. The song is awesome and the video...the ending cracked me up xD BRILLIANT!
|
Quote:
I don't know if they'll upload ISO rips later on.. |
I hope ISO will be added, Never Give it Up is so badly ripped with many interlaces and the PV itself is so awesome, it deserves a perfect rip.
|
Thanks for sharing MVs, loving those! SO FEVER is hot, I liked first half a bit better than 2nd tho. Kimi Omoi is a typical Phone Crying MV but nevertheless very pretty I enjoyed it. NEVER GIVE IT UP so funny, great MV.
Quote:
I have a feeling that those are timed exclusives and will appear on the future albums, maybe already on 15th anni one. She said she's working hard maybe another 12 singles projects? I would be so happy. |

Kimi Omoi is my favorite. it's a beautiful song and music video :weep |

The "SO FEVER" PV was fabulously amazing. :love
Kuu looked so fierce & stunning throughout the entire PV! I absolutely loved her outfits, and I even liked those butterflies that were tattooed on her arms. Very nice! I love the whole butterfly theme. :heart The song itself is so good, I love it! :heart I've totally enjoyed watching the PV & listening to the song! It's all perfection. :love |
Thanks for sharing the videos :heart they are so djsnafjasnfjhNJ XD
|
thank you so much guys!
I love the new songs and SO FEVER is my new favourite Kuu song :) |

thanks for sharing all new videos:yes
|
thanks for all the sharing!
Legend Live is a great release, but I see why they kept these songs for this instead of releasing them as a single after Bon Voyage. In that recent interview, Kuu had said that with Bon Voyage she basically wanted to do different things with her music, and say 'Bon Voyage' to the sounds she's given us before. While Legend Live has some great material, each track can fall into a rather typical song type from Kuu. They're great, but they're not as new or different in style as the HOTEL single was. It's nice to see her sticking to her word and keeping up with new stylistic offerings, even after the Bon Voyage project was Kuumplete. :) |
Quote:
On the other hand, SO FEVER is amazing. Indeed similar to some other sexy songs but I don't know, it has a different vibe. |
to me both are really great, the hotel single is fabulous as a whole, the interludes are amazing this time. I'm enjoying both releases equally. what would my life be without her music :weep
|
I barely complain of Kuu videos but omg NEVER GIVE IT UP was the worst thing she did in ages, I'm SO glad it's not an actual release :roflmao
otoh Kimi Omoi is a nice PV, low-budget but still nicely done, I loved the Paris setting. And of course SO FEVER is amazing as hell, both song and PV. I hope it gets a live perfomance, maybe next year? She should do an arabic-bloc in a tour and perform it with Get It On, Candy and so on |
I don't find the new songs special. The overall aura and environment of SO FEVER is fantastic, but the song itself is rather dull. I dislike how during the chorus the melody repeats the same notes over and over - I wished for a slight variation in the pattern. The ballad is the definition of boring, and that other song was nothing special either.
|
@Gustavopc I know, right? It seems more like a leftover TRICK track/music video... If it was for Bon Voyage it would be SO out of place.
What I like about Kimi Omoi is that she doesn't repeat the name of the song over and over again (like TURN AROUND; Suki de; Aitakute; Koishikute; Ai wo Tomenaide; Anata Dake Ga; and the list goes by haha). And about HOTEL's "freshness", Kuu doesn't have a song like that; midtempo, yes she does, but a midtempo that is half talking and half singing, not at all. Btw I just can't see MONEY IN MY BAG being a Bling Bling Bling ~to the future~ as people are saying, it's a dance track and not trying-to-be-hip-hop-but-even-Kuu-knows-that-the-song-doesn't-have-a-defined-style-so-she-sings-a-rockish-version. She'll be at the a-nation next week, I hope we get a good setlist, I can't deal with the festival setlist that she's doing lately (BE MY BABY / Bling Bling Bling / UNIVERSE). |

The new ballad is like the worst thing ever omg. So Fever on the other hand gives me life.
|
I really didn't like HOTEL single as much, the new Fever single wins over it for me :)
|
Kuu is hilarious in NEVER GIVE IT UP's PV HAHAHHA!! her expression at the end was priceless!
|
@KKalil I hope she includes MONEY IN MY BAG in the setlist. I think it'll be like
BE MY BABY MONEY IN MY BAG Ai no uta LALALALALA Cutie Honey HOTEL It's not what I want, but what I think is more likely :P I just wanted to know, Koda Gumi does not have a space to comment things, does it? Cause I was wondering if you guys saw the last August Koda Gumi staff report? :banana1 :banana1 That got me feeling ansious already. |
Quote:
Sadly the music videos aren't really good, they are OK |
I actually wouldn't have minded it if she added SO FEVER to the Hotel single
I think it would've been a nice 4A side |
I absolutely loved each moment of the "Kimi Omoi" PV! It was so beautiful. :heart
Kuu looked gorgeous in the PV, from start to finish! :heart The song itself is such a lovely ballad & I positively love it. :) :heart |

I think the LEGEND FEVER LIVE ones are very good in quality.
The HOTEL one is okay. And in the MONEY IN MY BAG PV the only good thing is the choreography imo :D |

I'm a sucker for rock tracks so i'm biased on that one. But still yeah none of them is anything spectacular. *shrugs* for me HOTEL is more on the "different" side than SO FEVER or Kimi Omoi. They sound like typical koda stuff to me. I actually have it in the playlist with Bon Voyage and it blends in nicelly for me together with MONEY IN MY BAG. Also i think i became a fan xD |
SO FEVER, kimi omoi, NEVER GIVE IT UP etc. are the usual clichés she'd have put out 10 years ago. I can definitely see why they didn't release them traditionally. Not to mention they're all demo quality at best. HOTEL is pretty middle-of-the-road for me, but aside from the ballad they at the very least aren't total clones of songs she's released before lol
|
Also i really am not "buying" all the sexy crap she does, it simply does nothing for me, i think one of the reasons i enjoyed Bon Voyage was that it wasn't anything of the sexy side but more like "cool" "quirky". I think it suits her. There's way too much sexy these days anyways lol
|
I think the quality of the Legend Live songs/videos suited what they were being used for. And I think So Fever was really good. I love Kuu's brand of sexy. I used to think it was gross and trying too hard, like every other Western act. Until I realized that she's actually quite unique in Japan, as her kind of sexy isn't really seen as sexy. She doesn't fit that lolicon look Japan has a hard on for. Rebel Kuu!
|
I also think there is a "demo-ish" sound on the LEGEND LIVE songs, like even tho I adore SO FEVER I also think it misses a bit of a bass or something more on the instrumental, it sounds pretty bland when she's not singing or moaning during some parts.
Also talking on LEGEND LIVE, do you guys know if there was a photobook alongside the promo CD+DVD they distributed during that event? Her shoots for the Pachinko machines are always amazing, but I've seen just two or three different pics of this edition and just one (which is in the first post of thread) in HQ... |
No, there isn`t a photobook, just a big flyer.
Guess the exclusive songs and all those goodies (scarf, wine) were expensive enough. ;) I don`t think, Kimi Omoi and NEVER GIVE IT UP sound like demos. I actually think both are really well produced. I agree with SO FEVER though. It`s nice to listen to, but there is something missing. Could be so much more addicting. Oh my, I just love NEVER GIVE IT UP so much, song and PV! <3 |
I still find all three new PVs awesome. I got nothing bad to say about those. :p

I'm waiting for her to do a best album of just her generic sounding ballads. kimi omoi can be the lead single.

*high five* I agree with the 'money is my bling' thing people are pulling together. Totally get where they're coming from with the comparison, but it doesn't really stand up all that well at the same time. |
what happen with aikatharsis3.wordpress?

MONEY IN MY BAG - Patty-cake trash can Bling Bling Bling - ghetto-style clown music Thank God for the DH remix of Bling though - that version is WICKED! |
How about just calling them urban pop if you want to classify those songs? I just call them that and that's all. :p
|
MONEY IN MY BAG is kinda of urban electro-pop and Blingx3 is hip-pop imo.
I'm waiting for Kuu doing a song that is 100% electro-pop, like Namie's Ballerina. |
But urban pop would be ima sugo hoshii, amai wana, candy, get it on, black cherry, etc.
Bling and MONEY are too obscure and horrible to just be classified as such. |

Since I don't think Hotel was ever shared here in 320kbps, I uploaded it to my SoundCloud to for those of you still waiting!

Why doesn't she attend A-nation2014 at Japan this year, by the way, merchandises at Taiwan so simply....
|
Probably cause she was touring from March till July in Japan and in August held her Taiwan finale, she probably wanted some time for herself and her family.

I finally listened to Bon Voyage and I actually liked it. I have been a casual fan/listener for a while as I am still not a big fan of her singing voice (though her low notes are awesome). This album makes me think of being on my boat so I will have to play this the next time I am cruising around the waterways.
Ever since I first learned about Kuu, I have liked her photoshoots/visuals (when they are not so super sexualized) but I have had problems with her voice. I feel that when she sings higher, her voice gets shaky and almost squeaky when she forces a note. Her lower range singing has always impressed me. Part of my issue could be the genre she generally sings in which I feel is more hip-hop/R&B than straight up pop or rock (which she does great on!). Granted this is my opinion as I slowly listen through her entire discography. I will say that no one does attitude and approachable confidence better than her. |
don't really care for the new songs so much, so haven't been fangirling out lol
but I like the image and stuff, and once again, I like her weird mix of sounds. I know she'll eventually figure out a good mix, so. meh. |

I love Lets party volume 2. What an amazing concert. She never does Halloween themed stuff. I want a studio version of Lay down. The little additions they added like the guitar riff during the pre-chorus were such nice changes, and I liked the church bell chiming in the background, and the sounds of bats flying, and I believe I can also slightly here an eery wind. I ripped the song and labeled it "Lay Down (Live Halloween Version)" on my computer.
|
And those who live on the other side of the globe and got into Koda Gumi on the first weekend get nothing? Humpf :grumpy
I wonder if she's preparing a new single already, it'd a good timing for my wallet to have Bon Voyage Tour and a single coming out in early November |
^And even if it was released world wide, you'd still have to pay for middle man charges :(
Whatever, at least I can get FC editions without group buying. |

Talking on tenso, does anyone knows if sends our packages as if they were a natural person or a legal person? I heard they only ship things through EMS and with this kind of shipping from a legal person you almost always have to pay a importing fee here in Brazil...

I have to use that for Room Ayaka as well as a few Yanawaraba CDs that are out of print... To be honest, it's freakingly expensive to use!!! |
^aaaah, Yanawaraba!!!
There's someone else who knows them! hahaha! yeeaah! *fist bump* *ahem* It's an interesting concept that maybe I'll be able to purchase a fanclub edition of her next album directly. Although, im pretty poor these days, and i've been getting all hong kong/overseas versions of albums since Black Cherry... Still, I like the option of buying it solo, directly, and officially as part of the club. :D |
|
Those tour covers are great!
|
OMG THOSE COVERS
|
LOL Girls Winner... typo
|
Amazing covers :heart
|
Ordered my copy!!! It has such an amazing cover!! Its gonna look so nice in my collection!
|
Love the BR version cover!
|
Already preordered mine also, but I got CdJapan as I couldnt figure out how to order something at mu-mo and the Koda Gumi bonus ain't that special :laugh But according to CdJapan there's still a first press bonus TBD for their shop
|
^The first press bonus is announced on official site as 豪華ホログラムジャケット仕様 or hologram jacket. ;)
|
Ugh I so hope they will include some footage of Kuu crying and singing Ai no Uta (Chinese version)
|
Wow, the covers are great !!!!
