I like it when cover songs aren't exact remakes of the original song and bring in the personal style of the artist who does the cover - but this doesn't mean I want Kuu to turn all of those great songs of J-Music history into dull standard club songs or R'n'B tunes. I mean, what the hell happened to "Pink Spider", "Shake Hip!", "One more time, One more chance" and "Otoko"?

In general I like it that Kuu fans are always so happy about all the stuff she releases, but a little bit more criticism and less seeing things through rose-colored glasses would be nice too from time to time.
I don't think it's necessary. I don't care about the original songs.

What I care about, is what Koda presented us with. I think she did a good job. This is her genre of music....what else was she supposed to do?

Besides, some of those original songs have such horrible, and dated arrangements. People who like club and R&B songs, now have a chance to love the best part about those songs....the melodies.
