It's probably real, but again, I'll keep that in mind with a grain of salt until I hear something from the official source.

Anyhow, it's a cover. Seriously, not the end of the world. One person may think it's utter crap, another might think it's a masterpiece. But at the end it's the music.

And to be honest, the only cover with truly a theme is I am..., and that's (according to interview), to the sudden shock of 9/11 and she wanted to make a statement. It was a different time. I heard rumors that originally the cover of Dearest or something similar along the line was going to be the cover for I am...and dearest cover, when not connected to dearest's PV, doesn't exactly hold that great substance by itself either.

Insult the concept, not the person. I may not like Koda Kumi's current music as much, but I'm not saying that she's slacking off or anything. Same goes for other musicians.
