Koda is like Britney Spears since she barely ever writes her own songs and her record company tells her what to do. And we all know how that turned out for Britney...maybe Koda will shave it all off soon. T_T Oh noes!

I love how they called her modest...with her bra showing in sparkly hot pants. Sometimes...I don't like Koda. -sighs-
i need to correct you.

Kuu writes about 85% of her songs in all her discography. Only except for those sexual songs like JUICY, Ima sugu hoshii and shake it she didn't write them. But most of her single, album tracks she wrote it.

... lolwut? How is what Kuu was wearing "modest"? xDD They call Kuu's outfit "modest" and then diss Ai Otsuka? What? xD I DON'T GET IT. That's kinda rude that she talked about her single instead of saving the Earth, though X_x; But I'll forgive her xD

I think Kuu is Jpop's Christina and BoA is J/Kpop's Britney.

get your facts straight...
Kuu writes 90% of her songs.. ever since she debut she wrote her own songs.. so don't even bother to compare Koda Kumi to Britney...
its an insult...

nice to know that you don't like her but why all the promotion...


The article was alittle harsh on Ai... the crowd was pretty much dead...
and usually Ai's songs get the crowd jumping.. maybe bad choice to start with Renai Shashin...
But like if you compare Kuu's performance to Ai's then you could say that the crowd was underwhelmed by her...

The crowd was actually alright when Kuu performed; but yeah...they were pretty much dead when Ai performed (maybe it had something to do with ayaka's boring Jewelry day and on top of that, Ai started with Renai Shashin?)

Kuu is nowhere near Christina in terms of voice.
Also, Britney is nowhere near BoA, who has an amazing falsetto voice.

I think the article was too much, it was so rude, but Kuu didn't sing that well in the concert and it's not surprising that people didn't like her much. But that doesn't mean that they can insult her. They should be more respectful...

HAHA. xD JAPANOPHAIL.

Didn't people used to call Ayu the Japanese Britney Spears? Lame.
They call everyone the asian Britney Spears. XDD

BoA, Ayu, Koda, everyone. XDD
They even called Utada that to her face in an interview! :0

Well in terms of their position in the industry, image (and maybe even the type of music) and not their voices; why else would people call Ayu Jpop's Madonna?

Well if you think that comparing her to britney spears is not an insult...
And, as people have said, it's tiring to see them comparing every Jpop artist to Britney Spears.

I think we all know why ayu is compared to Madonna...

Though I think Madonna is nothing near her and no jpop artist need to be really compared to any non jpop singers.

Britney is/was nothing near kumi as well.

They are more popular yes, but they're worldwide, my girls (ayu and kumi) aren't most likely because of their language and they not really will to take over world-wide mainsteam which is better I suppose, otherwise all the bimbos will listen to them >.<.

All of you who are having annoying series of heart attacks because some journalist compared your beloved singer to some singer you don't like, it's just to give someone who hasn't heard of Koomi Kohda a rough estimate on how popular they are. It's just a comparison of popularity, not drinking habits, not number of marriages in the past 5 years and not a comparison on how many times they've been to rehab or whatever.

ayaka owned everyone.

I love Rihanna because she is a total space alien! She HAS to have come from another planet because her body is SO PERFECT. She has no flaws.. it's almost like she's made of perfect robot parts.

Koda Kumi always gives a good performance, but the lighting was too dark during "Freaky" I thought. Ahh I would love to see her concert someday...
