[Koda Kumi] The 121st Thread ~Tokyo Dome: FANTASIA 10th Anniversary Show~

[Luja.]

My first kuu song was CUTIE HONEY.
It was the song that made me fall in love with her and J-Pop

[Meat Pao]

The first time I knew about Kuu was when I saw an advertisement very long ago for B ~ss~ on my TV (iirc LOL) but only bothered to check out her music when I heard Crazy 4 U playing during the B ~B&L~ CM on my TV 2 years ago

(I actually used to think she was some **** and I treated Ayu like god)

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I was watching the special end of year CDTV and I guess it was right after Ayu I think I see this absolutely sexy chick dancing in a way I'd never seen a Jpop artist do with this super catchy music in the back... It was Kuu performing TABOO which is a song I still listen to like crazy.

After that I didn't really care for her much other than for TABOO, I didn't like that she was eclipsing Ayu etc etc, but then I discovered Ai no uta and that made me like her a whole lot. Then I'm here.

My friend was talking about how ****** and hot this Koda Kumi chick was and he made me watch JUICY and I was like "LOLYES" and that's that~

and then I was a fan forever.

Same for me. Only in my case the song was BUT.

Same here. I rented a copy of some PS2 game that had an exclusive preview of FFX-2 included and it was the opening scene of the game with Yuna singing and dancing to real Emotion. I played it over and over and over on my television blasting the speakers. Lol.

[Queen Bee]

you started it for me. It was actually kinda funny how it started. I thought Kuu was one of my friend's favorite singer (turned out it was Shimatani) and I downloaded you, Birthday Eve, D.D.D., and Shake It Up for them since they didn't have the internet at the time. Turned out they didn't like Kuu...but I ended up liking her.

my boss manage to help me buy it when he went back to japan last week, he only charge me 2000yen instead of 3000yen!!! yay~~~

[jbrat2219]

Usually when I go on to really like someone, it's by the first song I hear. Chase was my first Koda Kumi song and I was in love with it, I'm still in love with it. I went on to be obsessed until TRICK came out. In fact, oddly enough.... Ayu was the only artist I didn't fall in love with immediately. Her voice gave me a headache!

To tell my story in short...
OMG I SAW THE FFX-2 TRAILER... AND OMG YUNA DANCES & LOOKS FIERCE... AND OMG THE SONGS ARE SO GORGEOUS... AND OMG I'M BUYING THIS GAME... AND OMG I'M BUYING THE SINGLE FOR JUST 45$ FROM THIS GERMAN ONLINE SHOP... AND OMG I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PRICE CAUSE THIS IS JUST TOO F_*_*_* GREAT!! LoL
(It was in a time when YesAsia and credit cards didn't exist for me! xD ~saw the trailer dec. '02 and bought the single march '03)

This is how I first saw Kuu & pretty much liked her. But it wasn't until Butterfly that I became the Kuustan I now am.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Butterfly was another song that made me respect her for being able to make music of a really good quality.

i found out about kumi because of FFX-2 trailers that i saw, sometime in 2003 or 2004 (i remember getting the game as a birthday present! ). then i remember in 2005, i downloaded a few PVs, and that included Chase, Cutie Honey, Hands & Hot stuff. i took a break for awhile, because i following utada at the same time as well. then in the fall of 2005, i got back into kumi by listening to you and after that, i followed all of the 12 singles. so ever since then, i've been a fan. it's been like...4 or 5 years! i considered her as my #1 artist back then since i really only followed her the most, lol, but in 2007 i discovered more artists. even now, she's my #1 favorite female artist, even though i love alot of other artists as well. i'll never give up on kumi!

[hsienko]

My first Kuu song that I liked was Lick me. I'd known about her for a long time but I thought she was just some skeezer but then I heard lick me.

[love in music]

lol I remember when I was like 14, I first saw her "SHAKE IT" video and I was like so young and didn't get it. I thought she was having sex the whole time in her video, and it was like some different way to have sex (w/girls arms etc) lol. anyway I thought it was cool and then saw her other videos and really fell in love with "Gentle Words"

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Since i didnt have internet i recorded real emotion first and 1000 no kotoba later from the TV and listen them again and again whithout knowing she was Koda Kumi...

I still think this way about SHAKE IT

[Kingdom]

Kuu was my first Japanese artist and it was love at first listen. I don't really remember what song made me fall in love with her but one of the first ones I loved was 大切な君へ and it's still one of my favorites.
