Koda Kumi made the moon go crying (51st thread)

[ayumisrael]

I think that not liking something because it's recycled is just a lame excuse (for few posts ago lol).

Obviously if you like the "recycled" style you wouldn't mind as long as the song itself sounds good if you don't like the "recycled" style then you obviously won't like it, it has nothing to do with liking a certain song or not it's all about liking the music style since the style is "recycled" and not the compositions.

Now, I will say why I think that a lot of people don't like MOON single (I'm kinda neutral since I don't like it to the top but I don't hate it, it's just nice +/-).

Moon Crying - This ballad just isn't standing out like her you, yume no uta kind of ballads.

That Ain't Cool feat. Fergie - Fergie overshadowed kumi big time, people would like to hear kumi more on her own song, even if it's the first time she is collabing with an American artist, she could at least keep it her song and not Fergie's.
The chorus is repeated like 5 or 6 times in the song and there are only 2 verses beside them.

Once Again - I think it's the least hated song on the single, it's kinda like or hate kind of song. The pop/raggae is nice but the composition isn't that easy to remember.

Lady Go! - Another like or hate kind of song, since most people prefer kumi doing other stuff than just pop or cute pop songs as it seems.

I used to really like moon crying, but I think I might have overplayed it...

TAC's filmed in Atlanta? and only in a parking lot? Okay... But is it me or her English voice sounds really nasal?

Once Again's a good song, but it's not a great song.

I don't mind that Lady! Go's recycled. I mean, I thought WIND, someday, and Koi no Tsubomi sound rather alike and I love all three of them. But it's my least favorite track because I just don't really like anything that's too synthed.

The key to recycling is to choose a good song to recycle. At least that's what I found out in Art class.

so as long as it's good...it's ok to recycle? XDDD

except fergie doing that O thing...they don't really do something in the PV =S

Works on my art teacher. Granted, it's no way saying that one should recycle...but you know, it works on art projects.

That O thing cracked me up because it looked so awkward.

[minna]

we'll trust your teacher then XD


the O thing was so...nowhere XDDD it had nothing to do with the PV
it was like ''hey look what I can do! isn't that cool?'' no fergie....that ain't cool (-__-'')

[do it again]

hehehe

^ ROFL! So true xD! At least in that outfit and position O.o...

I agree with this post through and through lol. On first listen, I couldn't understand half of Kumi's english, but after a couple more listens I was able to make it out completely. Her english is bad but not awful...I've heard much MUCH worse.

o man I wan the HQ single ... hope someone can upload it hahaha

[lovelism]

For the fans of Kuu in Singapore,HMV has the CD only version which is FIRST PRESS going at $22.95. I didn't get it coz i wanted the other Cover + the DVD too....The OBI strip is in Shiny Silver,the back is the Promo image MOON

I think that those 4-sided singles are only going to work if they also have 4 PV's .. otherwise ther won't be any reason to buy this single as a "NON-DIE-HARD-KUU-Fan" ... she's going to release most of the tracks on this single with the PVs on her next album anyway

So, floptastic second day sales! Reactions? I was pleasantly surprised.

Wow, just wow.

^ No? I'm really surprised though, 23k to 8k in one day. It almost doesn't make sense.

Edit Maybe Kumi's loyal fans who still love her in Japan bought their copies yesterday and now only the casual people are left to buy it? Unless it rises tomorrow, which is possible.

#3 with 8590 on the index...
quite a big drop

I guess so. I think the sales will drop even more the next day. Iono.

I agree with your edit, which is why it's going down so fast. Most of her casual fanbase eroded with the scandal. I don't see it rising at all. It still will do better than I expected I think (I was predicting it'd sell about 65k first week).
