~*~new album KINGDOM (30.01.08) The 26th Koda Kumi Thread~*~

[Meat Pao]

^ That officially made me laugh so hard

[ayu_fan929]

For some reason, I think that MORE sounds something Nakashima Mika would do.

[ayumisrael]

Introduction For Kingdom - dissappointing, it's not hot as all of her other introductions.
Amai Wana - Sounds awesome.
Himitsu - Ok... - filler
Under - Sounds awesome
Koi No Mahou - Sounds like affection/grow into one pop I love it
Anata Ga Shite Kureta Koto - Nothing much to say about it - filler
Wonderland - sounds nice
MORE - Boring.
Black Cherry - Sounds like it's going to a good direction!

That's about the previews...

[stickyrice]

01. Introduction For Kingdom - eh...
03. Amai Wana - just another arabian song. sounds alright.
04. Himitsu - meh...
07. Under - i'm not feelin it...it sounds realllllllly bad.
09. Koi No Mahou - it's cute <3 I like it.
11. Anata Ga Shite Kureta Koto - bleh
12. Wonderland - been there done that. GARBAGE.
14. MORE - I LOVE this. IT has a jazz influenced to it and I love me some jazz!!
15. Black Cherry - I know i'll love it.

overall and I know they're just previews..but I'm not liking what I hear for most songs. Not to mention the horrible singles. (not including anytime)

01. Introduction For Kingdom - idk...it sounds kinda weird. not my fave intro.
03. Amai Wana - LOVE IT! sounds like a lot of her other Urban songs but who cares?
04. Himitsu - I kind of like it...I'm not sure.
07. Under - I don't really get where the song is trying to go so, I'm not sure about this one yet either.
09. Koi No Mahou - CUTIE <333
11. Anata Ga Shite Kureta Koto - ??? I can't remember this one. lol.
12. Wonderland - CUTIE CUTIE <3333333333
14. MORE - I hate it because it sounds boring but I like it at the same time because of it...This song should definitely show off her vocals.
15. Black Cherry - It sounds like INTRODUCTION but there's something different to it too. I'm excited.

I'm really excited for my first Kuu album!! Yaya!!

[freedreamer]

PREVIEWS ALREADY!?!??!?!?!? crazy

01. Introduction For Kingdom - what??? i was expecting something HOT...how on earth would this lead to LAST ANGEL?!?!?
03. Amai Wana - i think it fits the KINGDOM theme..reminded me of Candy..lol..its ok..
04. Himitsu - sounds like a Namie song...SERIOUSLY
07. Under - eh...i think its ok...arabic again...
09. Koi No Mahou - cute! haha its sweet and nice
11. Anata Ga Shite Kureta Koto - its ok...didnt expect this...expected a more "you" ballad
12. Wonderland - !!! err...its ok...at least her pop is better than i tot i would be in this album...
14. MORE - whoa..haha...i didnt noe it would be like that..."I WANT YOU MORRRRE"..that felt very, X-tina...but then the jazz was..err..not my type
15. Black Cherry - err..something's missing...aint as BAM as the original...the bass..

err...i think its rather disappointing...really...but i wasnt expecting it to be better than BC of coz...yet still...
im surprised i like the pop a lot better then the arabic songs...(Under and Amai Wana)..
and i really think the singles are a better now...

and her more r&b songs are lacking some bass...Amai Wana, Under, Black Cherry...
>.<
i think being too fast to release previews can kill sales actually...i mean, these previews arnt really very promising...but yes, its just previews...im praying that the whole thing will be better...and THE PVS!..plz

the songs im looking forward to are in bold...Black Cherry sounds rather blur compared to the actual...i dunno...doesnt hit me
that intro is really...weirdddd

[chocopockymaster]

...really? We're getting PVs for all of these songs? Some of them don't sound very promising from the previews...guess we'll see how it all works out.

[Meat Pao]

I can sorta imagine MORE is going to be a depressing PV

*tears comes out* I WANT MORE!!! EVERYTHING MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ayumiko]

just heard the previews...

1. Introduction For Kingdom- didn't expect it to be so boring
3. Amai Wana- sounds good so far
4. Himitsu- this song is ok so far
6. anytime- this doesn't feel like a single track
7. Under- don't like this one
9. Koi No Mahou- what is the difference between this song and the one below?
11. Anata Ga Shite Kureta Koto
12. Wonderland- don't like cute songs from her...sounds like I heard it somewhere before
14. MORE- I like the music but with the way she sang so many mores made me not like this song!! very christina too
15. Black Cherry- best song on the album

From the previews, it feels like this album will be better than black cherry but the only songs I'm looking forward to is the full version of black cherry and amai wana.

I know I can oly imagine what they will be like.


Im excited like crazy I want the album now. Im happy she has urban songs on this album yay.

[milky_way]

Now all we need is news on the tour DVD and I'll be a happy little camper.

^Wish I had enough money for the 2DVD...whatever. =[

[milky_way]

^ That's the one I ordered. So broke

[Huaka]

This seems good. Previews got me much more excited for the album than when it did for Black Cherry, I think I'll actually pick this album up this time.

[elepop]

My thoughts on the previews:

01. Introduction For Kingdom / Sounds pretty nice. I like this intro.
03. Amai Wana / Sounds like any of her other "Indian" vibe song...
04. Himitsu / Ew, a ballad.
07. Under / Doesn't sound too good so far. I think Namie would have rocked this though.
09. Koi no Mahou / Th cute song of the album. Sounds okay.
11. Anata ga Shite Kureta Koto / Not really catchy.
12. Wonderland / Cute song #2. Not catchy either.
14. MORE / Ballad. Boring. When people said it was jazzy, I thought "OMG, like "24"... please!" but it doesn't sound good to me.
15. Black Cherry / Another annoying "Indian" vibe song.

Conclusion, she has yet failed to make a decent album. None of the songs are catchy. None of the songs grabbed my attention. The only song I quite like is the first one... And it's not even a full song. Oh my... It's gonna be another "BC"... The kind of album I'll listen once, and never listen again.

And also, she should stop making songs with an Indian feel to it. They always sound bad.

[ayumisrael]

I'm really not excited about this album, some of the previews make it seem like a huge let down.
I hope the full songs will be a lot better ^-^.

I was hyped when the info came, and when it's about the real album's quality (which is the important hypness) it failed a bit... kumi go back to grow into one+secret era >_<.

[ayuayu798]

I think most of the previews turned out pretty good ^^ I cant wait for the album!!!
