[Koda Kumi] The 187th Thread - NEW ALBUM COMING SOON

[Gubsi]

Suki Deshite sounds like LOVELY from Color the Cover and i'm totally here for that. glad that it's not a ballad again because it's inbetween 4 ballads already lol

Wicked Girls is interesting, could be really great and fun in full.

[Gubsi]

^interesting.
probably full information reveal with PV's/covers if there wil be more/etc
or just Tour Merch

btw she forgot to post the Suki Deshite preview on facebook, it's only on twitter lol
edit: 2hours later they uploaded it as well

[Corvina]

Every preview is posted on her Line account.

Also got Someday vibes from Suki deshite, really liked it! Wicked Girls sounds amaaazing, love the Focus-ish vibe in the instrumental

[Marurosu]

I wanna see the MV list... The previews sounds promising...

[ALfromHELLSING]

I hope Cupcake will have a MV. I'm fine with Shhh! not getting one but can we get one for Cupcake. Puriiizuuuu!

I like both previews. As I expected 90% of her western fans like Outside more and don't care about Inside, I'm one of 2 or 3 who does? lol While 80% of fans in Japan will buy Inside and wouldn't care about Outside. lol

Most likely that's going too be the case since Cupcake has got a choreography. I also want this song to get a MV. It's still my jam! Another song with a video is probably Promise you since it seems to be so special for her

Everything sounds promising and I'm glad my girl is delivering. Been so long since the last album release but you can notice she's worked hard on this one. You will get a bit of everything, as always

[Gustavopc]

^ I wonder if she also thought about that when she gave those titles to the albums

[ayumisrael]

Btw I completely forgot to share!
When I was in Japan in October, I walked around with a friend in Yokohama and suddenly I heard from a car kuu's come back!!
I was extremely surprised since what are the odds to hear a non-single song from kuu's debut album from a passing car on the road lol.
It was probably a fan and I was really moved when I heard it. =)

At first I was like "wait I know this song, it sounds familiar..." (probably because of the shock that it was this song), but it was a really nice experience.

Also when I was in a shop in Takayama there was kuu's Someday karaoke version in a shop.

[kaled kalil]

Today's songs are Shhh! and Kimi Omoi, and the Kuu team is sleeping because the previews aren't up on facebook.

[chocopockymaster]

As excited as I am for the new album, I have no interest in listening to instrumental-only previews...so I'll be withholding judgement until I hear something more complete.

[kaled kalil]

Where is the "announcement"? She said she was really excited for today and nothing happened. haha

[Corvina]

@Zeke, Akutenshi and Luck16:
A pity you don't like the outside previews. Guess you're glad there's still inside?
Btw you should never listen to Minimal music then, cause that's the genre minimalistic produced music is called.

Another promotion was announced:
On 14th February there will be a Live broadcast of J-Wave Groove Line in the Sound Museum in Tokyo. Entrance is free. Kumi is scheduled to appear 6 pm Japanese time.

I guess.
If Shhh! is an indication of anything in Outside, I really won't like it.
But I'll hold my thoughts until I hear the full thing, maybe she will surprise me since I love Cupcake

[Corvina]

A thought, that just crossed my mind.
Her official site did call outside to include avantgarde songs. And something like Minimal Music e.g.is officially considered as art. So maybe there's a relation?

Today in her Line post she thanked everyone taking part in this preview campaign and she says it's very helpful for her to produce the tour right now.
So I guess depending on which side will win, we will maybe get more (old) poppy songs and ballads or more dance tracks? Or even for the execution of theme?
And she ended with "till tomorrow", so we're getting new previews tomorrow.

[Gubsi]

lol it's funny how people think less production equals a bad song or is made in 2 minutes...
music is just music... enjoy it or don't listen

but ok from someone praising Ayu's Days production like heavens i don't really except some open minded and good opinion about music lmao

anyways i hoped she would keep the Shhh!/君思い previews for the last day (sunday)
really excited about how Ultraviolet will sound like?!

off topic, but i wish J-Pop would release more vinyls alongside CD's...

[Akutenshi]

Oh please lmao. I listen to plenty of music that is minimalist or less produced. There's a significant difference between minimalist/stripped back, and cheap and amateur production. These previews are the latter.

My opinion doesn't need to be agreed with but let's not make random assumptions about me or my music taste.

Calm down, I never made any assumption about your taste as I never said that it is good or bad or anything. Maybe you should read again, cause you're the one being defensive right now.

And I didn't quote you because I wasn't speaking directly only to you. Maybe you should read again too?

[Marurosu]

How many songs still don't have a inst preview?

I'm want they to finish that to announce MV list, covers, MV previews or whatever...

W face tour goodies are welcome as well...

PS: BSC tour had a pamphlet or booklet, or anything else? I always love pamphlet shooting and the last I remember (WOML) was the best so far!!!
