[Koda Kumi] 134th Thread ~Live Tour 2011 Dejavu~

[freedreamer]

^LOL! I guess the day has come when I feel Alive is such a beautiful song as well.

Today I heard "Make it bump" being played at a store (I think it was "Mister Lady", but I'm not sure since I was just passing by...)
Are there any plans for a western release? Because that was kinda odd...

Awesome.

By now it's a japanese bonus track. Maybe, who knows, there's a little chance, in some months they'll re-release the album and they'll include Make It Bump

I remember hearing that it was really popular. Its not my favorite song, personally, but it has really grown on me. I love singing the chorus.

Alive is such a pretty song! I love it!!

I was youtube and I found this video of this avex band, that I guess sampled that strings like from JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

Sooo cool =)

I want too hear it to @ Mister Lady in Cologne or Siegen =)

[Daggi_X]

Well.. normally those stores have a rather limited playlist, so it's quite likely that they'll play it again xD

Yes, Kumi sampled Back-on's flower Love both songs

I don't think that Kuu sampled them. That beat is also used by BlackBerry, the phone, as one of their built-in ringtones. Whoever wrote that beat sold it to a few different people.

I thought she also bought the demo since there is a English version of this song that is really good.

[ayumisrael]

kuu just bought the demo from phrased differently just as she did with MORE and Run For Your Life.

also "at the weekend" is from phrased differently
Blackberry also bought the sample for just the way you are isn't it?? There's a small song in Blackberry to use as ringtone that sounds exactly the same as the beginning of JTWYA

-EDIT-

ok, LoveShine asked the same xD hahaha

[Corvina]

Driving Hit's 3 positions this week so far:

#12 -> #6 -> #16

Still in Top 20 even though the new releases are up.

Kuu and her team uses some (western) songwriter pretty frequently like phrased differently. And all songs from them are great so far imo!
As well as Tommy Henriksen , who did both flawless BUT and FREAKY.
But I'd like to see some more japanese ones as well again, more Hiro would be great!
Just listened to her first three albums again and I seriously wonder, how a "japanese only" album would sound like today.

Gosh, release infos about your 50th single please, Kuu! Summer single!

[ren'ai]

^ I KNOW I AM DYING FOR INFO XD Which is.. very spoilt since DH3 just came out but I'm not really a remix person and I want neww material I'm really curious how this summer single is going to turn out..

Did I mention it here before? I found Daisuke Imai who wrote a lot of her 2006< songs like Candy, Hot Stuff, Promise, Rock Your Body etc on twitter a few months ago and I sent him a tweet saying I loved his work with Kumi and if they're ever going to work together again and he replied with "Thanks! I want to work with her soon hopefully" or something like that but he deleted his account I loove the majority of his songs and I think the last full song he did for her was Always and then INTRODUCTION for TRICK.

Btw Sales update for Dejavu
10th week = #70 - 1,607
Total = 203,125

[Kingdom]

Phrased differently + Kuu = win

[freedreamer]
