Review of Kuu's Saturday night concert in the Life section (page 9) of today's The Strait Times Singapore
Scanned by me
It's the same write up that The Strait Times already posted online but it's still so nice to see the article in hard copy mode

Barks English - Koda Kumi's new song “NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU” released. “I wanted to use words from nature”
Quote:
Koda Kumi will release a summer collection album, titled “SUMMER of LOVE”, on July 22. She just released a preview of her new song, “NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU” off of the album.
UTA, a creator who has worked with the DOUBLE & Namie Amuro collaboration (BLACK DIAMOND), as well as JUJU’s “PLAYBACK” and AI’s “Happiness”, worked on this song. “NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU” is a R&B ballad that carries the Koda Kumi standard that will be heard for decades to come.
“When I heard the melody, I imagined singing it in the breeze. I wanted to use word from nature like wind, cloud, and sun. I didn’t want to force it, so I tried to sing as naturally and gently as I could. It was difficult because It was new territory for me, but I think it came out well.” – Koda Kumi
Koda Kumi just finished her fourth Taiwan concert in three consecutive years. She will play her first Singapore show this weekend. She is sure to captivate fans in Japan and overseas in this 15th anniversary year.

The original Japanese article that Barks published was written before Saturday night's concert in Singapore so yeah :3
But it's nice for Kuu to explain more on the back story for NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU
