I dont see her face melting @_@. Iunno where people are looking....what I do see is that her face is really really tan @_@ Compared to her hands. Or is that just how the picture was taken?

[jbrat2219]

Yeah I think that's it, let's wait for the scans.

[jiarongisme]

Kumi Koda sings for "Kamui"

Thu, June 25, 2009 (2:41am EDT)

Kumi Koda has been tapped to do the theme song for Yoichi Sai's upcoming manga-to-film adaptation "The Legend of Kamui" ("Kamui Gaiden"), starring Kenichi Matsuyama. The song, titled "Alive," is her first to be based on classical music.

"Alive" is inspired by "Lascia ch'io pianga," an aria from the Italian opera "Rinaldo" by Handel. Last summer, Sai was shooting a scene for the movie. He had liked the aria since hearing it a long time ago, and he felt that it suited the film well. The production staff agreed and began putting together the music, while they asked Koda to write the lyrics and provide the vocals.

The song will be released as a single sometime in the fall. "The Legend of Kamui" opens in theaters on September 19.

It looks like someone went and Surface Blurred it a ton with Photoshop.

I was hoping that it was the people who posted the pictures and not the actual mag.

looking at the other photos...I think that's what was done.

it might be that, hopefully it is.. if the magazine did that then that's pretty lame. i remember using that filter and thinking it was the coolest thing ever when i was 13

I love those clothes in those magazine pics. I would wear clothes like that because those look so comfortable. <3

I just realized how long it is since I began listening to Kumi Kuu. In 2006. Oh My God. Seriously. My first song was the beautiful, beautiful Kiseki. <3 I really had a long time since I got used to her sex in the face PVs like SHAKE IT and JUICY. I hated her for a moment because of those and thought what kind of a ****** she is but then I suddenly fell in love with her more and more in 2007 because of such songs like BUT, FREAKY and Ai no Uta. And then I just went all hooked on her. I felt so comfortable after all with her songs. Then I also watched her concerts and noticed how hyper she can be. I loved her more. I love her a lot more than Ayu like, EVER. Kuu has became my favourite artist closely followed by Namie and Hikki (who was my first j-artist I started listening to because of Kingdom Hearts).

I was very amazed how people are suddenly saying how Ayu's popularity is going down. And I agree with you. But I still like her music, mostly because of the lyrics if nothing else. She has so many good lyrics though sometimes I feel she writes same things over and over again but I sill like those. o.O Quite odd.

But back to Kuu. I love classical music. I think Alive will be so cool. :3 I think this is the first year in my fandom when Kuu's so thunderic with her releases. I know she had that in 2006 and in 2004-2005 too but I wasn't her fan yet then. I'm so excited. If she's gonna release a lot in the next few months then I think I'm going nuts. :'D But anyhoo, I'd like to hear Alive preview already because I'm very curious. :3 Though I don't understand why they said in the articles that Alive is Kuu's first attempt of classical music. She recorded Ashita e... in 2007. :'D Very beautiful song that is. Makes me cry so hard every time I listen to it. *___*

And the one juicy used (about loving a person regardless of gender)
Where did these quotes come from? They're pretty cool, but I never read them before @_@

^I'd like to second that, does anyone have a link to the interview or whenever she said that?

Also whoa, I am not likeing the new magazine pictures. Except maybe that outfit with the black.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

god her hair is awful. i don't care what people say, it is not cute in the least bit. it reminds me of the movie Monster.

She said that somewhere in autumn 2008 when she was promoting TABOO single if I'm right.

I think so too, I think it's the worst hair in kuu's entire career.
Even Moon Crying's hair was better.
I liked kuu's look in the ECSTASY PV where she sings with the mic and sunglasses though.

[ALfromHELLSING]

her face looks like it's melting bad smudge job

Thnx for the pix LuverOfLuv~
Oh, no I hate this hair style. Damn Kuu please stop with that short hair style I'm so sick of it already long hair back in studio please! This is so annoying, maybe she has some kind of problems with her hairs?

I hope new song is gonna be like Yume no Uta or you. Please, not another stay with me, faraway or Ai no Uta. Three songs like this for each album were more than enough... Haha btw song with a classical piece!? Than Jade Valerie definitely need to sing English version of it!
