[Koda Kumi] The 158th Thread - 「Color The Cover」 (2.27)

[tenshi no hane]

I don't understand why everyone loves 'dou ni mo tomaranai' It's nice but not special to me. /I'm not criticizing, I'm just curious./

I really love the way One more time, One more chance builds up <3 Lovely lyrics too. And I love her anger in the Otoko's chorus, especially because I felt that was missing in the original.

[setsuka]

...lol each pink spider video we get feels like a trailer

so did this one, ughhh

anyway I love it for what it was, but I was hoping for more

[Twinkle !]

Guys don't judge Kuu for a cover album , we better judge the original artists

I think Kuu did a very good job with the album and the arrangements are so good . I guess her cover for One more time , One more chance is the best among the others .

I'm satisfied with with the album , couldn't help it but to wear my hoodie and listen to the album non-stop at the class

[Dream]

Did people actually dislike this album? It's way more good and solid than many other albums out there recently.

[inthezone]

今宵の月のように sounds like Eurotrash at its best

[TeamAyu2004]

Nothing too impressive here...
but I dont care for cover albums, so thats not saying much... It just seems like she is trying to hard. Really the only good thing about these songs? Koda Kumi is singing them.
lol

[Ayu_Love]

I really like/love a good half of the tracks on this album. I love Pink Spider, I've been listening to it on repeat I think this is the first album in awhile where the PVs have excited me just as much if not a little more than the songs themselves. Even though the I wish the PV for Pink Spider was longer and with more dialogue scenes, I really love all 3 PVs in this album, some of her best in while for me ^^

Where is the new Pink Spider PV at that y'all keep talking about?

hmmm I don't really get ppl who don't like cover albums by default especially in Jpop since most of us unless you lived in Japan and are really aware of the music would have heard of any these tracks safe a few before Kuu even covered them

so like it is as if they are new songs, like to me this is like original album pretty much since besides her interpretations I have never heard of most of these songs

anyway my two cents since cover album trend is so huge in Japan nowadays

still waiting for Crystal Kay to make one


edit:

promoting LOVELY on Music Japan, looking like a cute mama

wish she promoted this with Shake Hip tho

[krauterol]

pv for pink spider is a complete dissaster. great locations and stages, great make up, hairstyle and clothes for kuu, great song, horrible direction, horrible editing and horrible acting.

the great budget production with less crappy scenes and a bit of coreography could make this a very great pv. so sad!

on the other hand, shake hip pv is completely fabulous!

[Beauty4123]

i've just listened to "Color The Cover" & it's an amazing album! when i listen to the songs, i forget that they're actually covers and not kuu's original songs. that's how good they are! my two most favorite songs are "どうにもとまらない" & "情熱". but "Pink Spider", "Lovely" & "Shake Hip!" are my other most favorite songs from the album, as well. but overall, the album is just so awesome!

and i also just watched the "Shake Hip!" PV & it's totally awesome, too! i really liked the outfits that kuu wore. she looked absolutely stunning! especially in that dress she wore with that blonde wig. that was my favorite look from the PV! she just looked so pretty. and the song itself is great, too.

So very, very true! The only song that I knew about on this album before hand was Passion, and that's because it was sampled in a Miliyah Kato song. And with her first cover album the only song I knew was Ai no Uta, and Kuu was the one who introduced me to that song.

EDIT: After listening to the album... I like her first cover album more

[Ayu_Love]

^Agreed. I don't know many 80's or even 90's Jpop songs, so I have never heard these songs before asides from Pink Spider, so even though I know they are covers, they feel like completely new songs, especially since Kuu has re-mastered them in her style so well, it's like a small studio album.

[ren'ai]

I love this album but for now I love ETERNITY more, that had a lot more unique sounding individual songs. But my faves are: Pink Spider, Shake Hip!, Lovely, One more time, Otoko, Dou ni mo, uta wa and blue velvet

Pink spider pv was a bit.. Underwhelming. It was good for what it was but I was expecting a lot more to happen. It didnt make any sense to me either but I thought it kinda fit in the songs lyrics (for me) about death being the ultimate freedom but that might not be what they were going for lol i dont know. Adoreee shake hip pv tho

yeah and she gets more hate for the album just for supposedly "covering hide mega hit with that much of disrespect" from jrock fans already, I guess the album has more of a bad reputation among japanese public now, then some grain of recognition, tbh

I am really pissed of at Ninagawa for doing such a cheap-retro looking-not-so-good-PV, because among her works it seems to be her worst, lol

I really like the album and can't wait to get its physical copy with the photobook, but ETERNITY still seems better to my taste, probably because the song selection was better there

[YuriChan]

Honestly, the only songs I enjoyed from the album are Otoko, Jounetsu and Uta wa Waga Inochi!

[Minttulatte]

Wow, Color the Cover sounds nothing similar to ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~. I really like the styles she uses for the album. ♥

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Not sure if this was posted but previews for TRF's tribute album have been released, and you can listen to a snippet of Kuu's version of ENGAGED

[Minttulatte]

^So lovely♥

I love Color The Cover. It's perfect! 8D So far the best album of 2013♥

[Zahara]

As if hide would hate that she covered it. I swear his fans are so blind....I always felt his 'suicide note' was Hurry. Go Round, NOT Pink Spider.

She did an excellent job covering it. They all need to take several seats away.
