[Koda Kumi] Everything All Right!! in Kuu's 83rd

~Inori~ · #1 24th June 2009, 03:26 AM

Welcome to Koda Kumi's eighty-three thread where Everything [is] All Right!!

"Instead of trying stuff out and experiencing it, we put up a 'No' sign, we never try to break the taboos". "Sometimes we shouldn't retreat into safety, we should have courage and do things.

Quote:

倖田來未 (Koda Kumi), born November 13, 1982, is a famous female Japanese solo R&B and pop singer. She is the older sister of singer misono. She dreamed of becoming an artist ever since she was in elementary school, and after being noticed by Avex Trax was signed to release pop music with an urban feel. Her popularity grew with the release of her fourth studio album Secret (2005), her sixteenth single "Butterfly" (2005), and her first greatest hits album Best: First Things (2005).

Though her early releases presented a conservative, quiet image, since as early as 2003 Koda has adopted a sexier and more provocative style. Because of this image, she has become a fashion leader among young women, setting trends such as the ero-kakkoii style. She has also won many fashion awards such as, the "Best Jeanist Award" and the title of "Nail Queen" three times since 2006. Since the rise in her popularity, Koda has lent her face and songs to many advertisements. In 2006 and 2007, Oricon awarded with Koda the title of best-selling artist.

awesome tittle ^.^

emi♡ · #4 24th June 2009, 03:57 AM

Why can't people just be cool.

It's so annoying. This is why the forum sucks. Because people have to be *******s for no reason. When no one was even saying anything.

Why? Why even bother. It's just really pathetic.

@Kolongi: the ones that were from her website?

~Inori~ · #5 24th June 2009, 04:01 AM

^I agree with you. 100%

Nah forget it. I'm gonna use a FEVER IN THE HALL II image.

~Inori~ · #6 24th June 2009, 04:18 AM

What do you think? Do you like the image? I used selective coloring in photoshop to brighten it. Credit to juicy for the set up.

JackieRos · #7 24th June 2009, 04:18 AM

I love it how you put the Fever L Hall II pic

i was hoping neko would get the chance to make the thread

since i took it from him last time. maybe next time buddy! like the title!!

i agree with you 100 percent, emiko. i think kumi is better than ayu though. it's all a matter of opinion

I happen to enjoy kuu more...but just because i like how fun she is.

Ayu is good, but for me, it's boring...but they each have their good points...and I just don't understand why, even when it is a matter of opinion, people can't give credit when it's due or accept that there are other opinions that have just as much weight and maybe evidence.

But enough about that.

Did we ever get like...dates of when the PVs were supposed to air?

~Inori~ · #11 24th June 2009, 05:19 AM

I did credit you. Just case you didn't know. Just not in the first post. I'll do it now.

maze · #12 24th June 2009, 05:22 AM

yay for the 83rd thread O.o

we love kuu ever!

Kingdom · #13 24th June 2009, 05:26 AM

just ignore it emiko, it's two people just trying to cause trouble... as usual

the ecstasy pv will be next, i think, since the preview for it is up on her site!

~Inori~ · #14 24th June 2009, 05:27 AM

I just checked spaceshower.com no info on the PV's. Maybe they'll be out like next week?

tenshi no hane · #15 24th June 2009, 12:57 PM

I tried to make a translation of Lick Me. Tried xD (I'm not really sure of the 3rd/4th lines of the 2nd stanza)

translation

Spoiler:

romaji

Spoiler:

the romaji is a mix of what waterballoon posted before and the lyrics on music.yahoo.co.jp, since they filled up each other's errors nicely ;3

Why does she release her PVs so far apart from each other, they're obviously finished by now, right? Anticipation SUCKS

To be honest, I feel the exact opposite. Kumi hasn't really kept my interest until recently while my eyes have always been on Ayu. Pure bias as it may be, I still love my Kumi Kuu and I can't wait for this single now

. The PVs (previews) actually changed the way I view this single.

I want to see Ecstasy too!!! It looks like the most interesting PV!

emi♡ · #20 24th June 2009, 05:44 AM

^some people may feel opposite, or neither.

Doesn't change that both artists have awesome points, and also bad points, about them.

Just like everyone lol

I think she releases them so far apart...for marketing purposes i guess lol

They always have some kind of marketing tricks with kuu releases lol
