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

[oaristos]

^ I think that's probably because companies and brands are more interested in having songs from W FACE -Inside- in their commercials and advertisements. I'm pretty sure rhythm zone might try to sell Kumi's songs, but the final decision doesn't come from them.

[a❤martian]

Guys, come on! I think we are all fans of Kuu overall here, but just because someone doesn't like a current release doesn't mean they hate her and are bashing. I haven't liked a single Ayu album since like Rock n Roll Circus, but I still like to keep up and comment on her current releases, even if they aren't positive.

And let's not insult people's taste in music. Out dated is classic to some. Cheap is minimalstic to others. It's subjective. I think we can agree Kuu works hard and loves what she does. She, like Ayu, is making the kind of music that makes her happy. And we should be happy for them.

^ exactly what I'm trying to say. I may not like some of Kuu's releases, but I'll support her entirely because she's one of my favorite artists. Also she's just so positive and happy, how can you not?

The first mature post I've seen about this, really.

I love Kuu and always have since her very first album (contrary to what KuuXAyu-fan seems to think by immaturely trying to bring up Fantome). Do I think these instrumentals sound really cheap? Yes. I say that because I feel like she's a better artist than some of the material she's given.

Do I still love and support her? Yes, and I'm still going to give the album a chance. But I'm allowed to express my opinions in any form I choose without them being dismissed as "the same complaining", because that's all they are - MY opinions. That's all I'll say about that.

On the contrary, I love Insane's sound more than any of the OUTSIDE tracks so far, and Heartless sounds really lovely as well.

[Corvina]

The instrumental previews are up on her official site. If you open it, there are two different previews showing up.
The W FACE 30 sec preview is still up as well.

[Corvina]

BRIDGET SONG sounds like a song I'll probably love in full.


And here's Kuu's LINE message from today:

第9弾LAST!!!配信􀼂􀇆ribbon heart􏿿

楽曲は、、

insideから「BRIDGET SONG」
outsideから「Ultraviolet」

「BRIDGET SONG」は、日々頑張っている女性を描いた楽曲になっていて、、この先のストーリーはまだ内緒です􀨁􀅐quiet􏿿

「Ultraviolet」は、激しくて、かっこいい、ダンスナンバーになっています！
2016年ツアーの千秋楽の沖縄公演に来た方、先日発売になった「DOCUMENTARY FILM」を見てくれた方は、気付いてしまうかもーー！笑

そして！！！

本日で、このキャンペーンは終了！！
参加して下さった皆さん、ありがとうございました👏🏻❤️

insideとoutsideのサウンドのみのリリック動画をお届けさせて頂きましたが、どうでしたかー？
insideとoutside、どっちもなんやかんやゆーて、倖田來未！
ってことで。
どっちも好きってゆーーてーーー！爆笑

てことで、ドキドキしながらスタッフさんからの結果報告を待ちます􀀰􁜁􀆙music􏿿

良い週末を！

The 9th and last delivery!

The songs are BRIDGET SONG from inside and Ultraviolet from outside.
BRIDGET SONG is a song about a woman doing her best every day. The preceding story is still a secret!

Ultraviolet is a fierce and cool dance number!
Those who came to the 2016 Tour final in Okinawa and those who watched the recently released Documentary Film may recognize it. *laugh*

And!

Today this campaign ends!
Everybody who particpated in it, thank you!❤️

Getting instrumental lyric videos from inside and outside delivered, how was it?
Inside and outside, both are Koda Kumi!
It's what I'm doing.
The one you like.... *burst out laughing*

Whilde doing so, I'm waiting for the result report from the staff.

Have a nice weekend!

-----------------------------------------------

So I guess Ultraviolet is the song, which was previewd at the final tour date and was supposed to be the 60th single.

[kaled kalil]

Btw, are we counting the albums as 13th "double disc" album or 13th and 14th albums?
I see some places counting inside as her 13th album and outside as the 14th.

On another topic, I feel like the DVD content will be different between inside and outside, but not for the actual PVs, but for the making of of them.

[abestfah]

I'm very sad that until now I have no favorite on any Inside previews, probably it's very typical Kuu that I don't quite like. Hopefully, Outside can make me surprised when full songs come out.

[ALfromHELLSING]

C'mon guys, just skip the comments from all those same individuals who always only complain. They are just like a broken record anyway. Nothing new, nothing interesting.

Thanks, Kaled. I forgot that Kimi Omoi is technically a tie-in for FEVER LEGEND LIVE. Speaking of which, I now have the complete collection of all FEVER releases. Actually now that she's releasing another FEVER album my collection is incomplete again...

I was wondering about that too. Koda Gumi says 2 albums .

[maze]

Kuu and SHUN + JuNGLE they need to come back with her!


From LINE

[Luck16]

OMG JuNGLE <3
Shun I can live without meh

[Zahara]

I love that color on her!

She really can rock all the colors.

[melissalove]

everyone is always fighting, gosh people learn to respect other people's opinions. Stop attacking people for thinking different.

Anyway, love the hair, very edgy.

[Gubsi]

insane sounds wicked, probably my fave preview after W FACE...
you clearly can hear she got inspiration from Lemonade, which is what i wished for her 13th album.

yeah i counting both albums as 13th album as well... it's basically a double disc album, even it's separated...
in my W FACE folder it's just separated as Disc 01 〜inside〜 and Disc 02 〜outside〜...

[KarenPang]

I count W FACE ~inside~ & W FACE ~outside~ as Kuu's 13th joint album release as well since her official site didn't state any further details about it , unlike Shhh ! where they count it as her 59th single release

[kaled kalil]

I see, I guess we're gonna have to wait till next album and see if it's her 14th or 15th haha.

Insane is a trap based song. She's really going for that aggressive sound as was stated.

[Corvina]

Yeah, insane seems to be Trap, just like Cupcake is.
No matter, if you like the previews or not, they are in one consistent sound direction.

[Gustavopc]

YAASS OUTSIDE COME THROUGH
