What do stars at titles mean?
|
The PVs are on the DVD, but the songs not on the tracklist for the CD.
|
I like the preview for HURRICANE!
|
That was a hilariously troll-ish way for them to handle the CD vs DVD track list that I'm actually kind of impressed :laugh
But doing it that way it would have made sense to have two versions of the album, you know? And on the other version to reverse the track lists, if you get my drift. |
I think they should put Inside Fishbowl pv instead of Touch Down and get That ain't cool out, replace with new Pvs. By the way, i feel bored 4Hot Wave, they usually include this single's stuff too often. Imo
|
I guess, they want to give fans as much different content as possible on one release.
Different versions with different content would have been such a great idea., choco! I'm surprised avex didn't think about that to make people buy more. xD But I'm happy the CD tracklist is so poppy and uplifting. Just V.I.P. and TOUCH DOWN stand out in terms of music/music genre. For me just Is This Trap? is missing. Apart from that all (japanese) fan favourites are there. Should sell alright. |
I like the tracklist, but
That Ain't Cool ／倖田來未 Feat. Fergie IS NOT NECESSARY |
I CAN'T with no ECSTASY on the album. And I can't believe that they choose TOUCH DOWN over LALALALALA for the DVD, that PV is so summer-ish.
YAAAAS for the demo being the final song, and well, since we're getting one complain about her using the original lyric of the song, now you can see the lyric is different. :) For the CD I would replace LALALALALA for IS THIS TRAP?. It would make more sense. But nice setlist, after all. Sad that we're not getting a music video for NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU, the song is so lovely. |
Hashire and ECSTASY need more love, kuu.
|
That Ain't Cool needs to die in a ditch. I have yet to meet someone who likes that song.
|
Really cool that the CD and DVD content isn't the same I actually thought about that but would have never thought they would actually do it. Juicy in blu ray quality? bring it! (probably just upscaled but whatever lol)
|

kill it with fire tbh |
Anyone can make a rip off HURRICANE preview? <3
|
Not happy with the tracklist. Everything from the content to the order of the songs. BORING.
A new remix or redoing of vocals for a song or two would have been interesting. Also, switching up the tracklist to make it flow in some kind of way instead of just putting them in order of release would have been cool. I wouldn't doubt the probability of the 3 new tracks being released through a "best" album instead of its own single because of fear of low sales; the best is sure to sell more than a single. Whatever the case, this will be the first KK "album" that will not be in my collection. I love Kumi to death but, in my opinion, this is whack. |
Listened to the previews again. Ex Tape and Hurricane both sound like WOML rejects, although Hurricane does pique my interest towards the end. No One Else But You I like the most because it has a hint of like, TLC to it, which I LOVE. That's my kinda song.
|
So do we think the demo for EX TAPE was actually called SEX TAPE and someone dropped the S somewhere along the way and it just stayed like that?
|
Think I'll give the album a miss but will buy the new songs from iTunes!
|
Disappointed she didn't include IN THE AIR, the epitome of an uplifting summer song, on this collection. Debating about buying it hmm...
|
I guess I'm the only one who likes That Ain't Cool, it isn't that bad. haha A girl can have her cake, and eat it too.
@chocopockymaster: I don't think the original song is called SEX TAPE, since the lyric seems to be "ex tape, ex tape, listen to your voice". haha I tried to find the demo, but no success on my search. |
^ well I was thinking maybe the typo happened before the song got to her and then she wrote the lyrics based on the wrong title? :laugh Because the concept of an "ex tape" is pretty far out there lmfao
Of course, this is strictly conjecture on my part, but it's fun to think about lol |
^ Since the announcement I thought it was a typo as well. When the name of the producer is out, I will try to search more about it. haha
I was listen to FANTASIA audio and got me thinking, for this anniversary, I hope for one underrated song to get more attention: Trust Your Love. Such a gem that no one cares about it. I still can't believe she sang almost 45 songs in one night, that setlist is huuuuge. |
"HURRICANE" is sounding totally hot, so far! I like how kuu's all like, "I'll blow you away...like a hurricane". :P :heart I can't wait to hear the full song!
|
Do we know if the three new tracks will be as short as the tracks on WOML? I hope these are at least normal song length...
|
I still maintain that WOML's short track times were to its benefit. The songs would be repetitive if they were longer.
|
Quote:
|
At first I found it funny that WOML had 16 tracks but was only 40 minutes long, but the songs being short makes complete sense. Especially since I could not handle a 4 minute House Party or 5 minute Lippy lol
|
uh, well..... I'm interested in the new songs and PVs.
my only complaint is no PV for the best song: NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU ;_; |
Watching DMP to get hyped for the final next week! kyaaaaaaaaaah
I love that she uses Kansai-ben in some parts of Koi no tsubomi's lyrics lmfao :laugh |
That ain't cool? Seriously? girl bye.
I really hope there's a new song with a skank dance...I miss those. :/ |
I consider Money in My Bag's dance to be hoodrat skank, lmao.
|
Quote:
|
I don't mind that they're short, because like someone else said, if they were longer, I would feel like the songs were drawn out. It actually works the way it is.
|
I just noticed the picture for the cd+bluray of Summer of Love. Its horrible! Especially compared to the other 2. :tired
|
^ I think the pose just seems a bit akward?.. but it's my least favorite cover
my favorite is the CD+DVD one |
Kumi sang Always during yesterday's concert (the Song Menu section).
|
I wonder if another Fergie collaboration would come out better now than it did back then...
"That ain't cool" itself just isn't that good of a song in my opinion, I probably also wouldn't like a Kuu solo version much :/ I would actually like to hear what they could come up with now. |
That Still Ain't Cool?
PS: Kuu looks awkward in all the Summer of Love covers. |
The only cover I like is the one from maze's sign, but I got the CD+BR ):
About the tracklist, it's not that bad, the songs I actually miss are Butterfly and COME WITH ME ;; Re-recordings and/or PVs for old tracks would have been AWESOME, like Namie did with Ballada, but I can deal with it cause of the new tracks. Still sad for no DH nor (specially) Beach Mix 2 |

I guess if she's gonna re-record stuff, it's gonna be on a separate release. Kuu has no habit of re-recording songs (walk ~to the future~ is the only one I recall) and not even having album mixes of her songs, while Namie has done these things once in a while back in her career. Double disc cover album with one disc being self-covers songs would be the utopic package for me, oh my
|
I'm glad she hasn't forgotten Always :heart
|
Anyone has all the songs available for the song menu for her concert? It's so hard to search for all of them.
|
So far the songs are: Futari de / Ai no Uta / Always / Brave (as fas as I remember).
|
Little off topic here but, anyone know if the KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2015 -WALK OF MY LIFE- Tour brochure (Normal Edition · B4 size 44P) is in the form of the limited edition or a book?, I didn't see any yet :?
|
Brave is a popular Kuu song? Probably, its a sappy ballad.
I'm the Kuu fan here for the dance battles. Just watched Japo Tour dance battle, and damn, Kuu can dance :heart |

https://twitter.com/LiDaYu_Ran/statu...57465319854080 it' a book :) |
Quote:
|
Slightly off topic, but does anybody else prefer Futari de over Yume no Uta?
I didn't think anything of the song until she sang that acapella for that couple. It was so sweet. |
Quote:
Butterfly and Come With Me aren't summer singles. 4 hot wave was the first to be officially promoted with the concept of a summer single back in 2006. And since then, we got one every year. |
^ Yeah, I was aware of that since the begining hahahaha I just can not help thinking of these when we talk about Kuu's Summer songs, so that's why it still bothers me a bit
|
Actually both of them are summer singles. If you count MOON as a summer release, you should count Butterfly as well, since it was released a couple of days after of the MOON date.
[2005.06.22] Butterfly / [2008.06.11] MOON The concept is that the album is a compilation of her maxi summer singles, which started to get recognized after 2006. But both singles still summer releases. |
That's what I said.
Butterfly and Come With Me were released in the summer - but they weren't released as so called summer singles, just as normal singles. The concept behind Summer of Love is a compilation of her summer singles, not her summer songs. |

^ Blasphemy, Yume no uta is a proof of God's existence tbh
|
Kumi does look like she's ready for church on the single cover.
|
I think both are alright, but far from my favorite ballads from her.
|
Quote:
|
I prefre Futari de...
yume no uta is so...overproduced |
I can't choose between those songs, they are both awesome songs for different moments. She should perform Yume no Uta more often...
|
Yume no uta of course! I never listen to futari de... - it's like a watered down children's rhyme version of yume no uta. Although I love the WHOOSH remix.
Yume no uta has all grand spirit of the winter season about it. |
Yume no Uta :heart
But, Furari de ~WHOOSH REMIX~ is awesome EDIT New exhibition 「KODA KUMI 15TH ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION Size[S] －WALK OF MY LIFE－ SINCE 2000」 June 27 + 28 in TOIRO (@Saitama Super Arena) https://scontent-atl1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...a1&oe=56329A66 http://img.imageimg.net/artist/koda/...ge_1023175.jpg from Koda Kumi Mexico and also in Taiwan "KODA KUMI Concert Garment Exhibition" at Taiwan is announced!

^I think is a very cool for summer
Guys, do you think we'll have a new remix album after of SUMMER of LOVE? I need another Beach Mix / DH7 in my life T_T |
Quote:
Why do I feel like 50% of the koda kumi thread is "arguing" (can't find a better word hence the quotation marks) about yume no uta and ai no uta |
I love your cover, kaled! From the colors to the extra hair, everything fits so well and feels so much more summerish lol Spectacular job :yes
|
Quote:
@kaled your cover looks really nice! |

|
The fan cover is awesome xD

Wow, gorgeous cover kaled_kalil! Might have to steal it for when I buy the new tracks from Summer of Love on iTunes.
Question to everyone, which of Kumi's remixes would you recommend I check out? I love a lot of Ayumi's remixes and know a lot of them but not that familiar with Kuu's. Anything suggestions which are trance-y, chilled out or just any you think are amazing and I need to hear are welcome! |
I guess the only trance-ish song from Kuu's is you [Floor On The Intelligence Remix], from Driving Hit's 2. There may be other ballad remixes like it, but none of them are memorable for me... I can share my playlist of Kuu's remixes when I get home, but it consists mostly of electro/fierce songs (any Brazilian here can help me finding a good translation for "farofa/bate-cabelo"? hahahaha). If you're into remixes that add some life to the original songs, you should check Beach Mix. Driving Hits 4 is full of dubstep and DH5 to me is the most consistent, the Let's Party remix on it is deliciously hot.

I have no idea in which sense you mean the usage of "farofa" though, I guess here in the south we don't use it in the same way :laugh |
@adantatu2: Katikies Hotel & Spa in Santorini, Greece. :)
Thank you guys! Glad you liked it. @Gustavopc A bate-cabelo song would be high energy and with a strong and heavy beat. haha @pimenta We use "farofa" here in the south tho, it means generic and with not much inspiration. Most of her remixes are re-work of the song, usually keeping the whole lyric. Some remixes that I would recommend: SWITCH feat. 倖田來未 & Heartsdales -DJ WATARAI REMIX- KODA KUMI REMIX ALBUM - Shake It Up (Kazz Caribbean Remix） Driving Hit's - Real Emotion [House Nation Sunset In Ibiza Remix] Driving Hit's - TAKE BACK [Sunset In Ibiza Remix] (one of her most memorable remixes, imo) Driving Hit's 2 - ECSTASY [Caramel Pod Remix] Driving Hit's 2 - Rain [Plug in LANGUAGE Remix] (also a trance-ish remix, isn't?) Driving Hit's 2 - love across the ocean [Caramel Pod Remix] Driving Hit's 3 - Can We Go Back [Prog5 Handz-Up Electro Remix] (this is one of my favorites EVER) Driving Hit's 3 - POP DIVA [HOUSE NATION Sunset In Ibiza Remix] Driving Hit's 3 - So Into You [Sunset In Ibiza Remix] Driving Hit's 3 - Lollipop [Pink Chameleons Remix] Driving Hit's 3 - Physical thing [FUTURE HOUSE UNITED Remix] Driving Hit's 3 - m・a・z・e [UNITED COLORS Remix] Driving Hit's 3 - come back [PLUG in LANGUAGE Remix] (also trance-ish) Driving Hit's 4 - め組のひと [THE LOWBROWS Remix] Driving Hit's 4 - JUICY [Pink Chameleons Remix] Driving Hit's 4 - Slow feat. Omarion [Prog5 vs. FUTURE HOUSE UNITED Remix] Driving Hit's 4 - walk [soichi Òno Remix] Driving Hit's 4 - WON'T BE LONG [United Colors Remix] Driving Hit's 4 - Butterfly [TeddyLoid Remix] (awesome remix with a different approach, high energy as well) Driving Hit's 5 - Someday [Big Boy Remix] Driving Hit's 5 - show girl [DJ E-Man Big Show Remix] Driving Hit's 5 - AT THE WEEKEND [Big Boy LA Weekend Remix] Driving Hit's 5 - 恋しくて [Dirt $outh (RE:LABEL(R)) Remix] Driving Hit's 6 - XXX [4 Skips vs. Floorbreaker EDM Remix] Driving Hit's 6 - girls [TAKAROT “TOKYO FANTASTIC” Remix] Driving Hit's 6 - IS THIS TRAP? [Jumping Dog Remix] Driving Hit's 6 - TOUCH DOWN [736 Remix] (it's a totally different song. haha) Beach Mix - KO-SO-KO-SO [Prog5 Remix] Beach Mix - V.I.P. [Sunset In Ibiza Remix] Beach Mix - BE MY BABY [4 Skips Remix] Beach Mix - NO TRICKS [Shohei Matsumoto & Junichi Matsuda Remix] (re-work of the song) Beach Mix - Heat [REO Remix] Beach Mix - D.D.D. [Pink Chameleons Remix] Beach Mix - COME WITH ME [Overhead Champion Remix] Beach Mix - Lick me [Floorbreaker Remix] Beach Mix - Cherry Girl [Sunset In Ibiza Remix] TAKE BACK single - TAKE BACK (Daylight Remix) (it's a r&b remix) Trust Your Love single - Trust Your Love [Hex Hector Japanese Radio Mix] So Into You single - COLOR OF SOUL (Dub's Guitar of Soul Remix) FREAKY single - girls (CUBISMO GRAFICO Beach Girls MIX) Sorry for the long ass list. haha |
^ I think I have to listen to all those Driving Hit's albums again and see if there isn't actually more I like since the list you made is so long.. I can't believe I really wasn't a fan of most of those ;-; and I normally enjoy remixes so. I will surely try the albums again
|
The problem with Kuu's DH imo is that hey have to many remixes and they're not always much different from the others, so I once I get to half of the album I am already tired of it and I ignore most of the last songs. Then, when a remix plays on random I get like"Why didn't I notice this remix was that good before?" :laugh

Thanks for the recommendations everyone!
Gonna check out some of the previews on iTunes and will hopefully be able to buy some of them next payday! |
I can't believe how white her hair looks...lol I guess it's cute though!

Last collab performersbfor her a-nation announced!
Show Luo, KM-Markit, LISA and Zeebra! http://a-nation0802koda.com/ LISA! I literally crying tears of joy right now! My wish came true! *sob* And so far she doesn't have any song with Zeebra...so a hint maybe for getting a new song? Another festival was announced as well. Kuu will be at the Inazuma Rock Festival in September! http://inazumarock.com/2015/ And on annther note: WALK OF MY LIFE cracked the 50k this week! 第一周 **1 *39,346 第二周 *27 **3,485 第三周 *32 **1,993 第四周 *49 **1,294 第五周 *76 ***,760 第六周 131 ***,598 第七周 144 ***,499 第八周 145 ***,408 第九周 211 ***,274 第十周 179 ***,317 十一周 180 ***,395 十二周 270 ***,205 十三周 293 ***,197 十四周 252 ***,242 累：50,013 It officially charted longer than Bon Voyage now. The tour really helps the album sales. |
Sléigh a bit Kumi!
|
Yeeeeey for LISA and the sales! Great news!
|
I'll be waiting for Rainy Day (instead of Hot Stuff) with KM-MARKIT *_*
|
ZEEBRA also had something to do with Ima Sugu Hoshii, I think he wrote the song as well.
I think we'll see a "Kumi version" of Ima Sugu Hoshii (Butter Smoother) feat. SUGAR SOUL + ZEEBRA. YAY for LISA being there and also for the album reaching 50k! So many collaborations for this concert, this is gonna be epic! |
|
That is so cool!!
|
So WOML has charted for 14 weeks now. That's pretty good. :)
I'm also excited for the a-nation and Inazuma Rock 2015 performances. They will be the most epic performances of those festivals :heart |
OMG, I'd have my photo taken next to that lift too!
|
The elevator doors promo is so cool!!
I have high hopes for this best sales, the promotion looks nice. |
Well considering that promo is in Taiwan... I doubt it's gonna help sales unless they done that in Japan too
|
Well, the compilation has some of her most popular songs in it. I think it will sell decently. After all, Japan loves nostalgia. :D

You guys, there is something that we are forgetting about. Since the final names for her a-nation collaborations are out, that means one thing: no misono. YAAAAY *party*

^what's to cheer about? misono is great
