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

[Misato]

Listen to "Eternity ~ Love & songs" the first time.
OMG, i fall in love with "Swallowtail Butterfly"!! I love this song so much!!

[ren'ai]

My favourite song from Eternity has to be Ienai yo <3

I made a translation for it if anyone is interested

Spoiler:

Translation
You laughed so much that tears came out
With a slender finger you wiped them away
That's the smile I want to see when I fool around

I can't hide it all anymore
Over and over again
I try to be frank but

I can't say that I love you
More than anyone, you're the closest to me
It's sad that it's only a dream
As my lips get
Nearer to yours, see, they miss

That one love story from your past
One day you told me about it
When you relax and rely on me
I become shy

aa If someone stole you away
I couldn't bear it, and yet

I can't say that I love you
More than anyone, you're the closest to me
I can't say that I yearn for you
If I could return to
The time when we didn't know each other

I could count up to 100 reasons
Why I could hate you but
When night comes and I'm alone
I'm back to pretending to be strong

I can't say that I love you
More than anyone, you're the closest to me
It's sad that it's only a dream
As my lips get
Nearer to yours, see, they miss

I can't say that I love you
More than anyone, you're the closest to me
I miss you, again I'm alone today
My eyes are embracing you
So I can't sleep

Romaji
warai sugita kimi ga namida
hosoi yubi de nugutteru
sono egao ni aitakute boku wa odokeru no sa

mou zenbu kakusazu ni
uchiakeyou to
nandomo shita keredo

ienai yo suki da nante
dare yori mo kimi ga chika sugite
kanashii yo yume da nante
kimi ni todoki sou na
kuchibiru ga hora karamawari

hitotsu mae no koi no hanashi
itsuka boku ni hanashita ne
anshinshite tayorareru tabi ni
yowaki ni naru

aa kimi wo dareka ni ne
sarawareta nara taerare nai kuse ni

ienai yo suki da nante
dare yori mo kimi ga chika sugite
ienai yo koi da nante
otagai wo shira nai
kisetsu ni toki wo modosetara

kimi wo kirai ni naru riyuu wo
hyaku made kazoeru kedo
hitori bocchino yoru ga kuru to
tsuyogari made furidashisa

ienai yo suki da nante
dare yori mo kimi ga chika sugite
kanashii yo yume da nante
kimi ni todoki sou na
kuchibiru ga hora karamawari

ienai yo suki da nante
dare yori mo kimi ga chika sugite
aitai yo kyou mo hitori
hitomi ga kimi no koto
dakishimeru kara nemure nai

do you have the romanji for all the songs too? i need those. (^_^)

and i just preorder the photobook at yesasia this mrning, BEFORE they jack up the price when they realise the book is quite heavy. HAHAHAH!

[tenshi no hane]

^ I translate straight from the kanji so I don't have the romaji. I could make them but I'm sure you can find most of them with google if you type '[name song] + lyrics' ;D

BE MY BABY translation is up at my LJ~

[Michan]

Wow I liked the preview of Billboard concert =D. I think its better for Koda finish her 10th anniversary with the 50th single with lots of promotions on magazines ^_^

Thank you for translations (you too Tenshi) and thank you for the sales update!

I think we will get the album after one more single, and hopefully it does pretty well because of worldwide smash hits Lollipop & Suki de.

[Corvina]

Preordered the photobook today at YesAsia as well.
Was cheaper with express shipping than at CDJ with airmail, lol.

Billboard live looks amazing!
And it isn't age limited, that's new to me. o.O
You had to collect the appilcation cards with Suki de and the UNIVERS tour as far as I know.

[Nackar_91]

Pretty nice week for Eternity! It will probably reach 70/75k, which is definitely respectable!

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Eternity is doing a good job, and the DVD deserves loot more

[do it again]

I wonder if DMP being broadcasted in full and in 3D was enough to make people not want to buy the Tour DVD. I would've probably DVRed it and had it for free!

EDIT: I am now an A BEST Initiate.

congrats

[love in music]

Eternity is doing pretty good. I'd like it to sell more though because of how fantastic it is. I like it a lot more than her last 2 original albums. the album showed maturity that I was really missing from her. I'm hoping the album tracks to her next album have more of a mature feel too. oh how much I'd love an original kumi song that sounds like "小さな恋のうた"

[ayumisrael]

I pre-ordered KODA KUMI IN BRAZIL

[Kingdom]

can anyone share the KODA KUMI REMIX ALBUM with the birthday eve remix on it?

edit: nebarmind, found it in the album thread.

[Queen Bee]

HUGE FAVOR: Did anyone save the images the someone uploaded from kumiloves of Kuu from Leslie Kee's SUPERSTARS and if you did can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE upload them for me? I tried loading them from the site directly but the images keep corrupting.

I totally agree with this statement. I hope her next original album incorporates some of the touches and the general feel of ETERNITY. It's a great mix of R&B, pop, and ballads. I hope she takes some of those elements and continues with them!

yeah! altogether, Eternity just worked as an album. everything fit perfectly. there's not a song on there that I find bad or annoying and her vocals are the best they've sounded in years. the type of music on that album is the type of music I think she should stick with. even the cute sounding song of the album "SWEET MEMORIES" brings a lot more to the listener than something like "lick me" or "superstar". it's this type of mature sound that made me fall for her, with songs like "Sweet love..." where they're cute but mature at the same time and fit with her voice.
