The thing is, that I don't see the need at all for using samples and such. With all the musical talents that Japan has, and all the power that Avex holds, it's just a matter of lazyness that she has to get songs that aren't hers. It doesn't matter if she's buying them, I just feel it isn't right. She can write decent lyrics and she has a good team behind her, why not taking things a little higher? I love Koda Kumi, she is one of my favorite artists and I respect her a lot as a performer and individual, but taking more consideration into her artistry would make her less fake and more of a musician. I know she loves music a whole lot and has been pursuing her dream of being a singer all her life; why is she letting this continue then? Just for counting, look at this small piece of her very recent discography:
-TRICK album= JUST THE WAY YOU ARE - BlackBerry sample (not counting Venus since that is stated as a cover.), This is not a love song - same instrumental as Nevena Tsoneva's "Za Tebe Pesen Niamam"
-Alive/Physical Thing = Alive takes a sample from a classical piece, and they bought Physical Thing from an unknown/less budget singer.
-Can We Go Back? = Just a version of the Kelly Clarkson song.
It's just too much, in the honest opinion of a fan.
