Koda Kumi recommendations

[cosmeticmusic]

I've heard on many forums that Koda Kumi (or is it Kumi Koda, American -wise?) is a pretty good J-Pop singer with more overtly sexual lyrics than other J-Pop artists such as Ayu, which makes me intrigued. Any recommendations for a new listener? All I have heard of her were two songs from a video game I own called "real Emotion" and "1000 Words."

[ImpactBreaker]

I personally think she has several great songs. I'll try to recommend some songs by how they might sound:

Beautiful ballads:

-24
-hands
-Taisetsu na kimi e
-Yume no uta
-Rain
-Tsuki to Taiyou
-You
-feel

Groovy pop

-D.D.D.
-one
-BUT
-love across the ocean
-Crazy 4 U
-Trust Your love
-Hot Stuff
-NO TRICKS
-Love goes like...
-WON'T BE LONG (the version featuring EXILE)

Cute pop

-koi no tsubomi

arabian/urban pop

-SHAKE IT
-Amai Wana
-Candy feat. Mr.Blistah
-JUICY

Pop

-I'll be there

Rock infused pop

-Ningyo hime
-Selfish
-Aisho

Since I am an expert on Kumi's songs... and since I know all the "platinum" songs I shall give you a help:

Ima Sugu Hoshii (lovely lyrics)
JUICY (Remember the bottle is holy..._)
(don't forgot to check the lyrics (translated) of these songs )
SHAKE IT (beautiful PV )


Okay, I'm done.
These songs are Kuu's "signature" songs *runs away*

haha

after I found out what Ima Sugu Hoshii was really all about , I got corrupted overnight

I dig the melody of the song but I didn't know what's all about til I read the eng translated lyrics

tsk tsk Koda

[Huaka]

My most favorite songs from her are:

m-a-z-e
Selfish
Crazy 4 U
Color of Your Soul
But

[bondingo]

But I do also recommend that song. The lyrics are just beautiful and very high class lady-like

Other songs I would have to recommend are:

-Get It On
-D.D.D. feat. SOULHEAD
-you
-人魚姫
-Love goes like...
-キューティーハニー
-Butterfly
-NO TRICKS
-TAKE BACK
-Selfish
-Hot Stuff
-Promise

[thinkingoutloud89]

everything XD

[jiarongisme]

Porno (RECOMMENDED)
- Ima Sugu Hoshii
- SHAE IT
- JUICY
- Get Up & Move!! (It's somewhat horny)

Just give the rest a brief listen because you'll never get enough of the songs I recommended <3

[cosmeticmusic]

Thank you all for your recommendations!

I find her pretty danceable so far. And...I did find translations for Ima Sugu Hoshii...a...little more...UPFRONT about what she specifically wants...But there's nothing wrong with that!
I especially like JUICY. I still can't find the translation though.
I'll probably end up being a Koda Kumi fan in no time! (Specially with such...lovely..lyrics...)
I didn't look on here until this morning, where I found the 'porno' reccomendations first, so I'll give her ballads a try.

[fanmail]

Download (or buy) BEST -first things- and BEST -second session-. Take it from there after.

[TITANIC]

SHAKE IT
BUT
Aishou
yume no uta
unmei
candle light
walks
1000 no kotoba
candy

[waterballoon]

I think walk is good if you like ballads.

[ayuayu798]

BUT
Freaky
feel
you
SHAKE IT
Cutie honey

[Sasha]

well... maybe just all of them! xDD
