I've seen very negative remarks about Koda Kumi for her singing of the 2 FFX-2 theme songs REAL EMOTION and 1000 No KOTOBA at other FFX-2 forums. Most of the people there are American/Euro fans and I think that's probably the reason why they would prefer Jade's English versions but it's so unfair that they start to judge that Jade is better than Koda Kumi because they couldn't understand japanese! >.< Some of them have yet listened to Koda's versions and already saying that Jade's are the best!
While some are still stucking up on the topic of how bad Koda's english sounded in her english versions for the 2 theme songs, it's making me pretty irritated. But afterall, I do want to know what you guys think?
Please set your opinions only when you have listened to both Jade and Koda Kumi. Jade's English versions and Koda Kumi's Japanese versions of Real Emotion and 1000 No Kotoba/Words can be found at
