I love the thread name! I've decided to buy stay with me cause I love Winter Bell so much..I'm praying that the fist press poster is still available on Christmas. I won't have any money until then and I wanna order it together with TRICK :<

thank you! i love that song so much, it's so cutie! i'm sure the first press will still be available on christmas since it's being released on christmas eve!

so i guess there won't be a rhythm nation this year? that makes me sad i loved her '06 and '07 performances there! oh well, i hope dirty ballroom will make up for it! i'm so excited to watch that.

INTRODUCTION title is subject to change too

Whats rhythm nation?

great thread title cutieismylife , I like :D

umm last I checked , CDJapan still have 1st presses available for both editions of stay with me

I'm gonna get the CD only once stock comes in here ie. after I return back from S'pore :(

umm if I'm correct , rhythm nation's kinda like a-nation but a more scale down event in that instead of avex trax artistes , only artistes under avex's sub label rhythm zone performed in this event

which includes EXILE , TOHOSHINKI & of course Koda who're all under rhythm zone

Wow, another thread already!
I hope INTRODUCTION is the full version of KINGDOM

why would there be the same introduction for 2 albums?

if anything, the final TBA track could possible be the full version.

ew i hope she doesn't do a full version of that song, it's soo boring
i hope the introduction this time is HOT

Winter Bell is so cute. I love it :heart

Or do you mean you hope Kingdom gets a full song? xD

You guys are quick on making new threads. Anyways, I haven't heard "Winter Bell" yet so I need to check this track out since it sounds good from everyone's comments.

I was wondering the same time. I really enjoy watching rhythm nation because I can also watch Aria and Double perform

i can't stop listening to winter bell. the "du du du du" parts or whatever they are, are just SO CATCHY! :tipsy

I hope it does too... I think it would be an interesting listen... Plus it's Kumi Tradition :)

Great Title for the new thread!

I hope we get a full version of the Kingdom Intro too. But I hope the don't mess it up. Black Cherry's intro was good but when it got extended it wasn't that great.

I'm not even sure if it is only for rhythn zone artists. BoA was on it and she's under Avex Ent. Double performed on it and she's not even Avex. I think it's just a regular indoor music festival presented by rhythm zone. That's what it says on the DVD box.

i hated introduction to kingdom, lol. no full version, please :laugh

Yeah I'm not sure what a full version to 'introduction to kingdom' would sound like!
it has no real words ..
maybe it's BLING BLING BLING since she's so BLINGED OUT on the cover?
rofl (just playing.)

but i'm also curious to hear a full version of the aforementioned song ..

lol I kinda have a feeling that the full version of Kingdom will be included on TRICK

if not maybe it will be released as a digital download like Get It On ? :shrug

A new album? Gosh, more things to order next year then...I could go broke lol

She included Venus? yay I've been very curious about it....I want to see the Dirty Ballroom one, the PV DVD seems too ordinary for me coz she didn't do anything special

Hoping TRICK will be a great album

@Karen: Ah ok. I always wondered why Rhythm Nation was at all Kuu PVs on the TV. @_@ I wonder why she's in there and not just avex trax?

yay to new thread! now, if only we can get our hands on those covers for TRICK any time soon!

umm techincally she's under avex trax but she's in 1 of the company's many sub division label/s

^which is Rhythm Zone... :yes

^ yup :yes

Mad Pray Records , cutting edge are also sub divisions which fall under the avex trax umbrella too

sorry but can someone upload for me " Black cherry " 's booklet ? thanks in advance !.

Yes I know that

But why in a sub division, thats what I said
I dont think Ayu is in one?

64th thread? Awesome. Go Kumi~ <3

I also love the title. Very christmassy, which is good. :)

I'm so thrilled about the dirty ballroom concert. I'm so glad it'll be included on TRICK. <3

I think the album's gonna be awesome since I liked all the singles this year a lot, even MOON. I'm just annoyed that That Ain't Cool will be included on the album. But still I'm gonna get the album, because I've been waiting this for months. :D

But yeah. I love Koda Kumi~ <3

i love the thread title! and sad that rhythm nation won't be happening this year too :( i always love their events, just to see Kuu, ARIA and m-flo perform

yeah Miliyah Kato performed there too :yes

btw, Kuu will perform stay with me at Music Station next week on the 5th.

^

Oh thanks for sharing the information. Can't wait to that performance

no ayumi's not in any sub divisions labels of avex , I frankly don't know why Koda's in rhythm zone & etc

guess it's by choice ? :shrug

sorry to double post but here's the translation from Koda's website on TRICK coutesy of my Japanese friend Shuji :

^STADIO COASt?..wads tat?..
(studio??) lol

not sure , I think it's a name of some concert venue ?

well she has done a lot of urban songs, her older albums have a heavier urban-pop feel than her newer stuff :yes

wow i had not realized that 10 songs were new!

that is good ..
i hope the album doesn't disappoint me, though.
but i want to see dirty ballroom!

Is there any real important news (also from the previous thread)?

Winter Bell is so awesome, and it totally pwns stay with me.

yea, it is karen! :yes they just spelled studio wrong, lol.

so is the album, like, SHOW themed or something? if it is, i hope there's some hot songs, lol.

Well a new album is pretty important

loool Twinkle finally back !

wow what's hot news kuu will make 7th album

i hope trick dosen't leak

because

leak = Bad Sales x_x

i think is urban album i hope she didn't put more ballad moon crying and stay with me is Enough

yay you're back! :laugh

and it will leak whether we like it or not. XD

On Amazon and HMV, they list the tracklist for stay with me:

1. stay with me
2. Winter Bell
3. stay with me -orgel ver.-

http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2810421
http://www.amazon.co.jp/stay-me-DVD%...dp/B001J2HU24/

oooh an orgel version? interesting... her other orgel works weren't so bad.

orgel = music box like Futari de?

awesome *_*

orgel? that sounds interesting

Orgel sounds like toothpaste....

what :confused

you know, the orgel brand toothpaste? lol.

:laugh Orgel is a fancy word for musicbox!! But the orgel version sounds interesting!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzKDyEVchao

someone uploaded her perf of MC from best hits onto youtube, for those of you who haven't seen it yet!

she looks so gorgeous!

thanks so much! i was looking for the performance since yesterday. :P

What the hell did they do to her hair.

Kuu has a Miracle Hikaru of sorts ._.... Though she looks more like misono, but she still looks like a koda in that case =/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3Pt8V3Fak

that girl always makes her hair like kumi it's kind of funny lol
i think she looked really good at the best hits thing but her hair ballz were kind of weird! and the dress flattened her boobiez too much. her voice wasn't as good as some of the other moon crying performances, i think she was nervous. her smile at the end made me smile though because it looked like she was a bit relieved it was over with!

lol she used to be really good at imitating kumi, but her taboo cover was a big disaster!

is Best Hit Kayousai an award show?

did Kuu win anything if it is???

sounds interesting , can't wait to hear the orgel ver. of stay with me in due time :yes

i really hope she stops singing MC..
kuu-chan!! you should sing more TABOO!!

Whoa! HER VOICE IS VERY SIMILAR!

TABOO was nonsense...

The orgel version of "Stay With Me" sounds very interesting. I'm also excited to see the Dirty Ballroom. Here's the songs she performed in case those of you are wondering or forgot (the 2nd DVD of "Trick" album).

1. Cherry Girl: Space Cowboy Remix
2. D.D.D.
3. Shake It Up: Kazz Caribbean Remix
4. Always
5. Come Back
6. Butterfly
7. Bounce
8. But
9. Teaser Feat.Clench & Blistah
10. Hot Stuff
11. Amai Wana
12. Hana
13. Candy feat. Mr.Blistah: Mad Reggaeton Remix
14. Selfish: The Meaning of Peace
15. Wind: Portable Wind Mix

* Encore

1. Taboo
2. Take Back Remix
3. Sora Yukihiro Fukutomi Remix

Ohhh I love orgel versions!

And you guys are thinking of ORAGEL!! :laugh That's the medicine gel you put on your gums or tooth when you have a toothache or a cankersore.

That's the first time I've seen that girl imitating Kuu... interesting... Does she just do that for fun at bars or something?

That is creepy, she sounds a lot like Kuu in the LAST ANGEL performance!!!!!

Whoa, the anytime performance is even creepier. Looks like misono, sounds JUST like kuu. Haha, Kuu should have her come on tour with her, then she only has to do half the work xD

She perform The meaning of Peace after Selfish?

Or the whole song is ..Selfish ～The Meaning Of Peace～ or Selfish is the meaning of peace?

I didn't notice new album at all, but i hope she'll come up a new and fresh cover..

Not like Moon that the moon looks weird in position, and sitting at the weird place with weird-almost-break-low-back position.

Not like flumpool Unreal that kind of showing body cover...

i was wondering about the meaning of peace thing too..

OHH i can't wait to see her perform stay with me! i hope she wears a cute winter outfit~

lmao xD

I think it will be a medley~

correct, it's a medley. :yes

omg. she performed remixes at the Dirty Ballroom concert?? So strange but exciting at the same time. Selfish ~The Meaning of Peace~ sounds strange but intriguing. XD haha.

So excited for this album. It's not even a year since Kingdom is it?

Hmm... Kingdom was released on January 30 and TRICK will be released on 28 January so it's 363 days after Kingdom! LOL. So yea not a year since Kingdom but close.

WOW the new album :) I like the title, but the tracklist.... it's pity there is That Ain't Cool :/

When I read some message,song name in the sentence makes me laugh.

I want to see the cover(s)...

Thank you, I really love her dress but I don't really like the hair though.
the hair looks a bit weird, IMO.

She sings in an MC of Kuu's tours? Which tour? What? o_o

And is she lip synching or actually singing?

oh.. i mean on BEST HIT KAYOUSEI, Kuu-chan shouldn't singing Moon Crying
she better sings TABOO

i think that girl is really singing.. but yeah! her voice is really similar!

she probbably won't sing TABOO for any of the end of the year specials. only moon crying or stay with me, i guess. but probbably moon crying :weep stop singing these ballads, kuu!

she should sing stay with me and/or Winter Bell for all these year-end lives! moon crying is so 6 months ago :rolleyes

So the tracklist for TRICK is real?
It sounds so ******, those are dumb titles.
I usually get so excited about the album after seeing hte track titles, but not this time :weep

I'll still buy it of course :P

Maybe in her dictionary, Koda is out of English words that she can use for her songs.

:roflmao

i think the titles are OK.

lol i was listening to 'The theme of Sister Jill' for the first time last night. umm..is it supposed to all be in english?? :laugh

yes the tracklist's real , it's already up & running on her offiical site anyway

Omg you misunderstood what they meant xD MC = Moon Crying! :laugh

Whats the name of the song from Kumi thats gonna be on the new LOVE NATION~Winter Collection~?! I keep forgetting it.

Yume No Uta.

It's a good choice. One of her best ballads.

seriously. to me, that IS her best ballad :D

I dreamed that the cover for TRICK was dark and mysterious with kuu wearing a masquerade mask, something like this:

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...masquerade.jpg

it fits with the title well!
that would awesome if so...

omg.. i'm sure kumi kuu would look much better than that ugly big-lipped lady :dead2

well, of course ;)

ya man Yume no Uta's still to me 1 of her best ballads that she has ever put out to date seriously

Yume no Uta would also be my favorite. hands and tsuki to taiyou are others I like. stay with me is getting to me, too. I heard a lot of others like you, but it's not my favorite.

can't wait for the single to be out on Christmas eve even though techincally that week I wouldn't be in S'pore :(

and i also think the preview is up but it won't play for me

http://www.avexnet.or.jp/avexdb/koda...-46120_002.asx

so if anyone could rip it and upload it if it's really working that'd be great! i hope it sounds better than the radio rip.

omg, the preview sounds soo much better. i can't wait for the full thing in HQ

i can't wait for them in hq either!

LOVELY~!
definitely her second best B-SIDE

It can't beat Lady go, run for your life and come over but it's still awesome. :3
