[Koda Kumi] The 167th Thread – 11th Album 「Bon Voyage」 + Remix Album 「Driving Hit's 6」

[Zeke.]

JAPONESQUE is like everything she's ever done, revisited. Just not as good as she's done it in the past. So for me, the only song I loved was LOVE TECHNIQUE cause that was new for her - a true expansion in the cutesy style. And No Mans Land I got used to.

I totally agree.

I liked JAPONESQUE much better than Dejavu (which, for me, it's her weakest from later years), so at the time it felt like a good improvement, but still for me it's not nearly as good as UNIVERSE or Black Cherry, or even Second Session (I tend to consider it as an album), Secret or TRICK... I think JAPONESQUE is better than Kingdom though, because I always though that at least half of Kingdom's tracks are forgetful...

Anyway, I have good hopes for Bon Voyage, even if I skip GTTT every single time it starts playing... At least I'm happy IS THIS TRAP? is not in the album, I'll never understand the love for this song, I really don't like its verses...
