[Koda Kumi] Koda Kumi's dancing has been HIGHLY slept on!

[Mimichild]

With the recent news of Kuu getting pregnant and soon to be married, I started watching slot of her past PVs and noticed she has excellent energy and style when dancing. I brought this subject up because everytime I hear about great Jpop dancers she either doesn't get mentioned or ranked low. It's true that she has suggestive dance moves (OK...understatement her dancing ranges from raunchy to simulated sex) but with choreography from PVs like Hot Stuff, Lollipop,BE MY BABY, Under,& Get Up&Move she ranks up with BoA and actually gives Namie a run for her money IMO!

All the cool kids love koda.

[love in music]

i don't think people pay much attention to the fact she's actually a pretty good dancer because she distracts people from it with her raunchiness. they write her off as just an untalented attention ***** when they see what she does.

[freedreamer]

she IS a really good dancer. and sometimes fantastic choreo..just that yea, it just unnoticed. And sometimes i m missing that choreo and dancing from her..it's gotten simple

[isthisLOL?]

She's a pretty good dancer, however not BoA level, that's a clear overstatement. She may be better than Namie though since Namie actually isn't THAT great a dancer.

Kumi may be technically not the best dancer but her energy and passion makes her better than most proffessionals. I've just finished watching Namie's Live Style tour 2011 and was disappointed in her lack of enthusiasm, while Kumi never disappoints, it was funny to watch her Cutie Honey dance in flat shoes, but I'm happy Kuu is being carefull in her state and does not dance in high hills anymore.

This. Kuu is definitely a better dancer than Namie. They can both do the moves, but Namie has no energy or ~passion~ in her dancing. Kuu totally owns the stage.

U've watched through Namie's Live Style 2011 and still said that Namie was lack of enthusiasm in her performance?? I mean, seriously??

[Chibi-Chan]

I was very dissapointed with Namie's dancing when I watched her 3 latest concerts. In my opinion Koda is way!!!!!! better! If you like her raunchiness or not is another topic.

[isthisLOL?]

Watching LIVE STYLE right now...Namie is better, Namie simply does far harder choreo. If you like her dancing or not is another thing.
Koda is a quite good dancer though, but Namie is better.

I prefer kuu because she's got that something, that flavor which I like. She makes it seem sassier and easier when she's dancing, like she's really having fun.

Namie does all the right moves, but that's about it to me

[Mimichild]

Namie USED to have that fire when she danced but now it's like she just blends in with the backup dancers :/

[Tom Punks]

Doing harder choreography doesn't make you a better dancer, it just means you do harder choreography.

[ExodusUK]

Koda Kumi is so overrated on this site >.<

Namie is a better dancer but she should be..she's basically just a dancer that happens to be given songs to promote.

^okay truehappiness part 2.




I think the end conclusion will be, boa has the best technique, koda has the best style, and namie has the most endurance.

In any case, I really don't think it's all that clear who's the best They can all master choreography if they have to. Haven't they proven that? Maybe not.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

It comes down to personal preferences, obviously.

I prefer a sassy and sexy dancer who knows how to work it than a cold dancer like namie That's all.

I don't even know much about BoA, so I couldn't talk about her at all.

omg this post, so much shade lmao

[aloopy]

Their dancing styles are SO different, so I don't think you can compare them. It all comes down to personal preferences. Have to say that I don't like it how BoA has to resort to lipsyncing when doing her great routines, but yeah she's a great dancer.
And to people who think that Namie is still a robot are most likely still living in 2007, and haven't seen her latest 2 tours.

With that said, Ayumi Hamasaki and Utada are the best dancers, obviously.

This!!! I prefer some cold-blood dance moves from Namie to the 'touching urself & someone else' style of Kuu. And this is only personal taste, not to mention that Namie & Kuu image has never been the same tho.~
