Last news from the old thread:

Continuing the favourite ballads discussion from the last thread, mine are:
24 Hands Gentle Words 1000 no Kotoba You Promise Aisho Imagine |
That thread went hella fast :laugh
I went to my last.fm to check my most scrobbled ballads and got kinda scared, cause it says they are Ai wo tomenaide and Suki de o___o I never cared that much for that songs, I guess I overhead them along with the albums :laugh |
I think the ku ballad talk is the most reoccurring topic for the ku threads. Lol.
|
I think Aishou is so underrated.
I love everything about it, the arrangement, the music video, the name and lyrics which have a double meaning. Good music indeed. |

|
I want her to re-sing 'come back' because I LOVE the melody in that song and the arrangement but her vocals are horrible.
|
last.fm is a nice idea but i don't know if it mirrors my taste. accoridng to it my favs are:
1 Moon Crying 2 you 3 Aishou 4 Anata dake ga 5 Taisetsu kime e (or yume no uta) |

Some news:
They added a B2 poster for all preorders as long as stock lasts (e.g. on CDJapan). Info from her FC |
Geez, 62 live tracks for the FC live. :luv2

On another topic, is any other big name releasing an album on the same day as Kuu? I know there's AFTERSCHOOL's Best, but I don't think this would be a big deal. Third topic: Her website has been updated, and there's a kind of mosaic which seems like each tile will be a preview from a new song, so far only the tracks with PVs are there. Also, there are lots of messages from Japanese artists for Kuu, like Chara and AI! |
@GustavoPC:
No, FC shop isn't included, it's just about the normal (web)shops. But everybody who ordered one of the FC sets is getting a poster anyway. And yes, seems we're getting one song preview of the album on every day now till release on 03/18! :D One of Kuu's dancers is showing her physical edition: http://i62.tinypic.com/s25ipu.jpg And the TV spot was released: Kuu is speaking it herself this time! |
I didn't preorder the set cause even tho I'm getting the Live DVD version and the BR one, I had to use two different credit cards for each, only one wouldn't have enough limit for the box ): Guess I'll cancel it then...
The physical version looks beautiful! I love what they did with the title and it's not a simply printed text |
Also there's a lot of radio promotion scheduled for Kuu:
http://rhythmzone.net/koda/schedule/...page=1&a=media Releases on the same day like Kuu: AFTERSCHOOL's Best U-KISS Idoling!! KOKIA But I guess only Idoling!! could end up being a threat. Though there are quite a lot older solo artists releasing new albums as well, but I just don't know, who's popular. |
I want previews for the new songs NOW T_______T
|
Kumi is werking that slipcase
Really tempted to buy it... |
I want to see how the album is inside, this pic look like a postcard D:
|
I wanna know what's this copyright issue talk around Yume no Uta, too. O.o
Damn, I watched the ad for the album and Like It got stuck in my head again. I'm probably going to overplay it when the album is out. :'D |
The song is accused of plagiarism of two other japanese songs. The song is clearly a rip-off of those songs.
We don't know if there was any law suits, or anything like that. Probably RZ paid to the original composers, or any other agreement behind the scene, since she still able to perform this song and also Futari de... |
^ holy shit. That might be some of the most blatant plagiarism I've ever heard.
|
OMG they're literally the same song lmao
|
Don't give a fuck. Those songs were born just so that they COULD be plagiarized and give birth to the epic ness that is yume no uta. Those bitches can go sit on a long neck bottle.
|
Quote:
|
Yume no uta is so fabulous though. The dramatics of it all.
|
Oh, I see. I think that issue gave all Kuu haters to bash her harder then. As for me, I really don't care if Yume no Uta is a rip off, it's still better than those other two together.
And the storm will blow this house up soon. ;_; |
Quote:
|
lmao this yume no uta two songs thing is so old as f... like lmao where u've been hiding all these years!?
then we could talk bout ayus daft punk interlude rip off as well tbh, but whatever like bitch is still here and selling cds and concert tickets after 15 years, who cares tbh anyways... can't wait for the album tho and what she's been up to for her 15th this year! |
Are you guys serious with that plagiarism thing? All "artists" (if they aren't composers) using songs from music banks. Usually they buying "melody" on exclusivity BUT not alway (especially if we're talking about asian market like K-POP or C-POP related things). Most of K-POP singers have only rights to use music/arrangement so anyone can buy the same rights (what isn't expensive) and make another songs from it.
On different BBS people are puttiong shit on italian singer because he made a song from music of 4minute's "MUSIC". I really doubt that mentioned singer haven't bought rights and I doubt that he's claiming himself as composer of those tracks. They are looking for a cheap sensation. Similar with Kuu's "Yume no Uta". Tsuyuzaki Harumi's "Mou Nido to" is song from music bank (composed by swedish composer) and avex probably bought the rights to re-arrange it or something. Besides melodies in ballads are so similar that I feel all the time like I'm listening the same songs over and over. |
I actually kind of dig that first song that Yume no Uta's melody is from. Really pretty!
But yeah Baernash summed it up soooo next topic. |
Quote:
Speaking of plagiarism, didn't misono use the same sample for her song, which Kumi later covered? misono - 0時前のツンデレラ I think some parts of the song sound very similar to Yume no Uta. |
I really love her smoothy r&b ballads. Why nobody ever mentiones "hearty"? :( It's so beautiful. I must revisite her ballads like right now.
|
Lmao, this whole convo just went off the deep end. How about some ballad talk, since that hardly ever gets brought up. I love Hana. Have I mentioned that lately?
|
Quote:
|
I've always said Feel My Mind is one of my faves from Kuu. I can listen to every song :)

Quote:
As for Hearty... I love that, too. It makes me smile+I love to sing along to it. I kinda hope that she would perform it on her next tour. ;_; |
Quote:
|
For those, who weren't around...
It was said back then, that Kuu and avex got both songs ( Yume no Uta/Futari de...) from the japanese composer and didn't know that he made it up out of two other songs. But as far as I know, there never was any official statment about the whole thing. It never was a problem, so people should stop making one out of it. |
I think nobody is making a problem about the song. As Zeke said, those songs were made to be together with Kumi's vocals. haha

Btw, one of the most underrated b-side, which is a r&b ballad is Say her name, such a great song! |
I watched a bit of the video of Like it and the song is so catchy and fresh!! I'm so glad they added the phonebook and poster to the CD version as well. Can't wait for the album to come!!
|
Does anyone know where I can download an MV rip of Like It? I totally NEED it in my iPod
Plus, HOW COULD I FORGET IT'S TOO LATE? That's her most underrated song alongside Star, I love them both to hell, and they're so unique in her discography |
Did anyone notice we don't have any info on Driving Hits 7 yet? I wouldn't be surprised if we weren't getting DH anymore.

I'm not really liking Like It so far. I hope it will grow on me after a few more plays.

Sampling and plagiarism has been in the music industry since the beginning. Over.
Keep returning for Like It, interested to hear the rest of the album, 10 days to go until release. Although I'll get mine a few days after because I ordered the FC Bundle, so shipping will be heavily lagged from domestic to Tenso then international. Eh, still highly anticipating to look, feel and explore my copies. |
Since this album is released on my birthday I love how people countdown to it :D
|
Actually when the album was announced there was a note saying DH7 is coming out during late Spring :) I wouldn't bother with this, they're probably promoting just the album and will announce it after it comes out
|
My running route and I are SO ready for a new DH :luv2
|
I think DH7 will be released around late April/early May. :)
|
Bit late but I forgot to say that I love that WOML is the ending for Arrow in Japan. I love that show!
|
Deep in my heart I'm hoping the new album has a ballad, something like My Everything from Ariana Grande, with just a piano and a good backvocal with harmony, kinda like Best Friend of Mine. I love when the ballad isn't almost 5 minutes and is a touching song.
I'm dying to listen to WOML and Like It, gosh! Haha Trying my best to wait the album. |
The coming weekend! ;)
And considering there's a CD rip of Like It on Baidu already, some chinese fans already have the album. |
It could also be from those promo CDs with a few tracks they sent to radios and such... Fuko already has a copy tho, then copies are already probably being shipped. But as much as I want to listen to the album, I don't want it to leak soon :P
|
New DVD!
http://img.imageimg.net/artist/koda/...ge_1019795.jpg KODA KUMI 15th Anniversary BEST LIVE HISTORY DVD BOOK 26 / March / 2015 „ 1,200 Is a best of her lives and a new video will be include! http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1019795 |
Pretty picture and YAY for new unreleased footage! If they announce DH7 soon I may get both of them, these DVDs are cheap as hell
-edit- Official website has been updated with a preview of Interlude ~Dance~ plus a new picture (hopefully it's from the PB, it looks pretty!). Catchy interlude, love the vibe |
Interlude ~Dance~ is so gooooooooooood :heart
|
Awesome!! I think this means that one tile will be unlocked everyday up till the album's release! There are nine left! (which will end on Wednesday in Japan)
|
^I think Corvina said that too xD
|
I'm not that fond of the interlude, so from today on each day new song will be revealed? It's like christmas advent chocolate calendar :D
|
First tour goods are out:
http://shop.mu-mo.net/a/st/event/koda2015/?fromSP=true The pamhplet is A2 size! And that FC clock is great, too! There's a new mascot as well. A pink female bear... xD And she hasn't a name yet. |
A2?!?! omg, my wallet is already crying from the shipping taxes, I'll to sell my ba... my kidneys off to pay it. But I want it sooooooooo bad :( And what would be a holo clock? I didn't get it lol
and omg that mascot is ugly af D: I always liked Koda Kuma, she was so cute, but this one looks like a cheap 90s cartoon uuuugh |
The new character is cute. But what is with Kuda Kuma...
Can you tell me what the other FC item is? |
@Gustavopc:
I'm sorry, got too excited, it's "just" a poster clock. xD :laugh The second FC item is a ticket album. And I guess the new character is going along with Koda Kuma. |
Okay thanks :-)
Iw ould love the two characters to dance on the screen together in the encore <3 |
And where's Kuma? D: Kuma is the perfect mascot for Kuu, this new is just ugly (a very ugly version of Care Bears)
|
Quote:
|
@Gustavopc If you get the pamphlet, please tell me how much it's gonna cost to you, 'cause I might want one too!
That new bear is hideous, jeez... |
I want the pamphlet and the ticket album (and maybe the ring set)
|
I did hope for some real jewellery to show up at her anniversary.
This ring set is just costume jewellery, that's why it's so cheap. But btw. it's stackable. I'd love to have a real necklace out of fine silver or gold with Kuu's intitals... Anyway, I'm getting for sure: Pamphlet in both editions FC clock set bracelet cup & mug set one of the towels and the cap I'm preordering the limited edition pamphlet and getting the regular edition at the venue. Going to fit perfectly fine in my suitcase with B4 size. :laugh And I'm so happy about the cup & mug set! I love such stuff. I already have all the other mugs ever released for Kuu and they're alyways great quality! |
So the limited pamphlet has less pages than the regular one? What's the point? :laugh
I'll probably get one the pamphlets, the bracelet, mugs and if there's one also a lightstick (: |
I'm pretty sure we're getting two shirts, a big towel and a lightstick with the next batch of tour goods. :)
And probably more character goods. I just hope they won't all be in pink... Home stuff like another pillow like for her 10th anniversary would be great, too. Ah, I'm dreaming. :laugh |
that pamphlet tho omg
|
wait the pic used in one of the trucks SLAYS. Hope it's in the album booklet.
|
Just 8 days till release!
http://imageshack.com/a/img901/1927/S813We.jpg (it's already the 10th March in Japan) |
Ok, questions, can I buy the regular edition of the pamphlet or do I have to wait till they sold out the big edition? and is the ticket album just an empty album for storing / collecting tickets?
|
Quote:

Quote:
And as you can only order the limited edition of the pamphlet on mu-mo for now, I guess they wait till it is sold out and offer the regular edition then. |
Quote:
|
Okay, call me lame, but I like the way the Dance in the Rain single looks when I play it on my phone. Its like it was made for it.
http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/...ps982dkuwf.png |
Ugh that new character is awful!
I'll be passing on the goods, although to be fair I've only every bought a couple of Ayumi shirts in the past. Roll on the release of the album! |
Quote:
|
I'm waiting for "Piece in the Puzzle" preview because this song was my fave from demos.
|
Oh, forgot to give opinions (because you all care so much :P) on the Interlude. Initially didn't like it, but her vocals are helping it grow.
|
I hope yesasia get this goods too ^^ I really want the phamplet and the rings but I think if they will get the phamplet it will be the regular one
|
^i agree...i want that big big one but I'm sure yesasia will only get the small one :(!
|
Quote:
and it sounds SUPERB |
|
I'm actually not super loving Piece in the Puzzle. I was feeling the demo more. But, again, I think its a grower. I don't hate it.
|
I like how it sounds so far! I have no clue what the demo sounds like and I am glad I have nothing in which I can compare it.
|

Quote:
Yeah, I don't like it at all. It looks ugly. :no |
I'm so looking forward to Piece in the Puzzle in full!
I'm really curious, what kind of japanese lyrics Kuu wrote to it. The music is pretty intense. |
I like the song but she pronounces "in the" in some weird way, sounds like "piece sees a puzzle"
|
Quote:
I'm always interested in demos or early versions of songs, wouldn't mind having a collection. and that new character "stoned pink bear" can fuck right off!! :( it is really disgusting, gaah!! |
omg loving this preview!! I'm curious for Lippy also, if wishes are being granted here, I want it tomorrow :laugh
And seems like this will be her first studio album to not have a feat. since... Black Cherry, I guess? There was WON'T BE LONG with EXILE, but the album versions didn't feature them... |
LOL I looove it, looks like a stoned Yogi bear so basically Kenji03
