I just wanted to remind to everyone what Koda said herself in that documentary about her sister Misono...

After all the difficulty of actually debuting, as you all know, it took her a long time to actually become well known. It was Koda's dream since she was a little girl to become a singer and despite Misono never cradling that same dream, out of nowhere, Koda said she was surprised, Misono did so and went for it. Seeing how well Misono was doing with Day After Tomorrow, even winning Newcomer of the Year at the JGDA, she said that seeing the success of her sister, she was happy but at the same time sad. "How can I achieve the same success?" She had noticed how involved Misono was with her work, lives, dressing, etc and that motivated Koda to do the same.

She went into more but basically if it hadn't been for Misono, Koda Kumi would not be Koda Kumi. So I think we should all appreciate her more and not bash her so much.
