Don't think this was posted yet....

Quote:

But the night belonged to Koda, who expressed surprise even to be in the running for an award this year after her success at the MTV VMAJ in 2006.

"Last year I won three awards. That's a lot of awards to receive, so this year I thought I'd just come here to enjoy it. But it was a surprise even to get nominated again," the sultry diva told members of the press after the awards show.

In addition to scooping the Best Female Video award, "Yume no Uta" also won Koda an award for Best Video of the Year.

"Using a ballad telling the heartrending tale of a man and woman, I wanted to make the kind of promotional video that would be popular among women like the one for the song 'You' was. The kind of song that really sticks in the heart," Koda explained of the video for "Yume no Uta," which is really one of a pair of related videos. "Working with [actor] Atsuro Watabe and [director] Kensuke Kawamura, we made this video with two stories, one in which a girl gets a call from her boyfriend and goes to see him and another in which a girl doesn't answer the phone and leaves the guy out in the cold. With these two girls we developed the stories for the promotional videos of 'Yume no Uta' and 'Futari de.'

"For girls out there, it actually seems that it was the sad story of 'Yume No Uta' that struck them much more than expected.

"Winning this award makes me think about what kind of thing I will make next and what the next connection will be."

haha

i'm still confused 'bout the storyline of yume no uta/futari de...

Partino · #10 4th June 2007, 12:44 PM

AyuGAME · #11 5th June 2007, 06:37 AM

Hmm? There were better PVs released last year, in my opinion. Rip Slyme's Hot Chocolate, for instance.

Oh well

I'm happy she won two awards! go kumi!

Though as for next year, I hope she'll make a good new thing to hook people that will get her an award next year as well, 'cause meanwhile for this year she didn't do it... and FREAKY is not an option nor BUT/aishou (and I'm sure Get Up & Move!! won't be chosen as the best female PV lol).
