Nail Max's and Edge Style's interviews feature mostly stuff we've heard before, so I just summarized them:

Edge Style (2012 April)

-She made JAPONESQUE while wishing overseas audiences would learn more about Japan’s beautiful music.
-She worked on JAPONESQUE and her Hall Tour at the same time so the schedule was gruelling but it was a period in which she wanted to create a lot of music.
-The songs she makes depend on her mood. She compares it to the way she might want to dress cutely one day, but dress in a cool manner on another day.
-She uses Japanese dancing (nichibu) in So Nice’s PV. She learned nichibu when she was still a child. She didn’t like the lessons back then but now she’s glad she had them.
-In the past she felt she had to sing in a cool and mature manner, but now she can sing and perform more naturally. Seeing the audience enjoy her performance makes her happy.
-She doesn’t do weight training. Rehearsing gives her a full work-out and helps her build up strength and lung capacity.
-She says that, though she might be married and a soon-to-be mother, Koda Kumi will continue to stay on the attack as always.

Nail Max (2012 April)

-When she went abroad, she got the feeling that the Japanese music scene is falling behind. She wants to show the good points of Japanese culture and music through JAPONESQUE.
-She dislikes exercising and going to the gym. She exercises by rehearsing the dance routine for her songs.
-Skin gets dry easily in the winter so she makes sure to use lotions and creams.
-She likes going to the stone sauna and hot spring (onsen). She doesn’t have time to go to there lately, so she uses Kikiyu (a bathing powder) instead when she bathes at home.
-She likes long, pastel-colored and pink nails.
-She used to dislike the color pink, but after dressing in pink for Cutie Honey’s PV, she realized “it’s okay for Koda Kumi to wear pink”.
