Koda has been kicked off from Viseé - Page 3

Suteisi · #41 5th February 2008, 08:05 PM

I'm sorry to say this, but you might want to take your own advise?

What you're saying doesn't make much sense to me. There is no news anywhere saying that they fired her. A huge company like Avex will not fire an artist like Koda Kumi just because of something she said. Artists make mistakes, they are humans, just like everybody else. Besides, that's bad wording because a recording company doesn't 'fire' an artist, they terminate their contract.

I'm not a fan of Koda Kumi. I'm not interested in her, even so, what others are saying makes a lot more sense than what you are saying.

I think you don't know how the Japanese music industry works mate. Usually it would take something much much bigger for an artist to get fired. When a scandal takes place usually the record label takes the artist away from the spotlight so the audience can "cool down".

There is no way avex will dump koda over this scandal. It is still not official if her endorsement deals are terminated. As of now her sites are just temporary closed.

on the other hand, I read in the chinese newspaper the empress of the imperial family in Japan gave birth to the prince after she was 35....so in a way koda 'offended' the imperial family. o_O...

**Halla** · #44 5th February 2008, 08:28 PM

the fate of Koda's Viseé contract is still undecided.

I do think it's likely tho that she'll lose plenty of her commercial endorsement deals. The advertisers might not want to wait for her to end her hiatus, they need someone for promo-work sooner.
There's no shortage of suitable idols/models/artists who to pick for campaigns, why pick Kuu who might possible be hated by a important customer base instead of someone new & fresh?

I didn't think Kuu was a good pick for viseé anyways, I don't think Kuu has the face for make-up ads & beauty shots.
Kuu's Gillette ads are sorta bad compared to hitomi. Kuu's stumpy legs vs hitomi's model-ish long legs, it wasn't really working for Kuu ...

Hmm, this thread seems to be going all over the place xD

If it is true that she got kicked from Visee, then that's unfortunate.

I won't get into the whole thing with her 'suspension' and Avex

Ayumiko · #46 5th February 2008, 08:36 PM

If koda were to be replaced by a new spokesperson for visee, I highly doubt they will use ayu again. They already had her and plus her image moved on to a more mature higher class. Brands like christian dior would be more suited for ayu. If Erika didn't screw up, I think she would have a high chance to be the next spokesperson. Leah? I dunno...

I wasn't fond of Kumi's Gilette ads either. Kumi doesn't have long legs in comparison with artists like hitomi. Plus there's no shortage of models which have long legs which could've done a better job.

With regards to Visee, well Kumi wasn't bad especially after Beni. Imo Beni was the most mediocre Visee contract. Kumi just has her hit and miss moments, where sometimes she looks good, while others she looks awkward. However Ayu seemed more fit for that role in her time. Anyway if Kumi gets replaced it'll probably be someone young since Visee is usually focused on fresh faces.

I still think Otsuka Ai is the prettiest in avex but iunno if she'll be suitable for visee though. Leah Dizon? She doesn't look pretty much.

This is kinda off-topic but what is this photo shoot for?:

Because it's kinda fugly ;x!

LAWLZ!!!!

*sigh* the Kumi hate, she isnt getting dropped from AVEX <_<

**Halla** · #51 5th February 2008, 08:57 PM

Otsuka Ai is more cute than anything, I don't think she's suited for Viseé which is more sexy & hip.

Viseé really downgraded after Ayu. Beni is really fug & I just don't think the face is Kuu's best asset, I have to admit tho that her visee promos are probably the best photos of her.
Anna Tsuchiya was alright, but I'm not too fond of her either.

I think alan would be best suited for a cosmetics campaign, but her look is more classic so maybe she'd be better suited for a bit classier brand like Kanebo or something?

IMO most beautiful artists on avex:
Ayu
alan
hitomi
Hitomi Shimatani

Kobayashiwoof · #52 5th February 2008, 09:11 PM

^hitomi is really hot and she is older

, if only she was used as an AVEX diva

[kokoro♥] · #53 5th February 2008, 09:12 PM

I <3 Leah :3 Though, I sill don't want her to replace Kuu @.@

But this is on BoAjjang, so yeah. x]

! You couldn't be more right

Bazaa · #56 5th February 2008, 09:26 PM

The thing atm is that Koda stopped promoting by her own will, and Viseé took down all the advertisement that featured her. It doesn't mean she got fired, the thing we're sure about is that, for now, the advertisement has stopped.

It's true that she made a lot of problems with her statement, but you're being pretty rude here. I'm not even her fan, but the whole attention this thing has been given the last days kinda bugs me

darc_aqua · #57 5th February 2008, 09:30 PM

Maybe she didn't get her facts straight when she said it, the people overreact too much. Here in the US, people are 100x crazier and nothings bad has happened to them like being put out of business.

I see. It makes sense in a way. BoA is quite young and she's still got the hot factor so it doesn't make sense that Kose would be getting rid of her yet.

Coelacanth · #59 5th February 2008, 10:42 PM

Ugh, Japanese music industry scandals are so dull. Can we get like a sex tape or something?
