[Koda Kumi] 131st Thread ✯✶✯ Dejavu ✯✶✯

[Minttulatte]

^Beautiful. <3

[Zeke.]

Shoot, seeing that some people think AT THE WEEK END lacks something makes me very disappointed. I will wait to listen but I have to say, that's one thing I did not hold back excitement or my expectations on that song - I was really expecting it to be amazing and looks like I'll probably be let down now. Damn.

I'm just going to skip the intro and interlude <______< Or put Pendulum in it's place!

yess I agree! it's really amazing how different this is in quality.. it just makes those albums look even worse. most of dejavu has the quality of pre-TRICK kumi, and it makes me so happy. I really hope she keeps it up! I'm so addicted to the amazing songs we got on this album + Black Candy.

The only song I didn't like was BAMABI. The best song on the album is I Don't Love You.

AT THE WEEKEND

Spoiler:

I heard it a while ago
It should’ve felt good
Please don’t care
“I miss you, babe”
I can see through your realistic
But fake words now

Who’s the boss? <I’m the boss>
I say it
Before someone
Tells me
Whenever I wanna stop

You switch off your phone
Whenever it’s a bad time
I’ve had enough
It’s too much

I don’t want your love at the weekend
I don’t need your love at the weekend
On Monday
Don’t talk like nothing happened

Forty-eight hours left
I spend the time alone
But feel gloomy

This pretty little missy
Decides quickly

You’re with that girl, aren’t you?
Off your phone
You thought I wouldn’t find out?
It’s too much

I don’t want your love at the weekend
I don’t need your love at the weekend
On Monday
Don’t talk like nothing happened

Even if you call me again and again
No!! Yeah
Your excuses will get you nowhere
No!! Yeah

I don’t want your love at the weekend
I don’t need your love at the weekend
On Monday

I don’t want your love at the weekend
I don’t need your love at the weekend
On Monday
Don’t talk like nothing happened

I don't know.... I really like it, I'm not sure why others don't. Try it out and see how you feel about it.

I'm SO with you on that. The quality of the tracks are great! This is the kind of quality of music I know she's capable of. For some reason for TRICK and UNIVERSE it was lacking, but then come to find out she spend that whole time making ETERNITY it makes so much sense. ETERNITY is perfection and I feel like maybe because she was focusing on that, the quality of her last two albums suffered, but now that she's able to focus more on her original music, we get Dejavu. And the title is really appropriate because the cute songs in particular remind me of her older works which is really great.

I'm starting my journey into Kuu's wonderland... up to POP DIBA now and I'm so excited!

I can see why they feel it's weak at the chorus - I'd like it better if it wasn't "I DONT WANNA LOOK AT THE WEEKEND. I DONT WANNA LOOK AT THE WEEKEND." If she said some Japanese there instead "Anata dake ga itsu mono, hitostu tostsu hana renai" (just made up random Japanese syllables to use as an example) - if sung with same melody but different words it would be better (kind of like Ayu's do it again - if it wasnt the same thing over and over and Japanese words in place of the repetitive english it'd be even better).

I guess with both songs I don't mind to be honest. I think the repetitiveness of do it again makes it more powerful and in AT THE WEEKEND's case, it's really catchy! Anything that makes it easier for me to sing along I won't complain about hahahaha.

Last one for tonight~

I Don’t Love You!??

Spoiler:

Who is inside your heart??
It’s bothering me
The one inviting the other to a date, no, no, is me again
Will you become my boyfriend if I tell you or will things become awkward?
But I can’t think of you as just a friend, baby

I’ve changed my ringtone of course
It can ring anytime

Always
No! No! In front of you
What? What? You ask
Love! Love! I want to tell you
But I pretend that I don’t love you

Always
No! No! Unruffled
What? What? You ask
Love! Love! I want to tell you
But I want to hear your feelings first

Everyone tells me
“Please confess to him!!”
But I’ve decided that I won’t be the first to confess
It’s important that we take our time
Notice me, I never want to part again, baby

I want to cherish you
I’ve never felt this way before
How do you feel about me??

Always
No! No! In front of you
What? What? You ask
Love! Love! I want to tell you
But I pretend that I don’t love you

Always
No! No! Unruffled
What? What? You ask
Love! Love! I want to tell you
But I want to hear your feelings first

I want to stay inside my dreams
I can’t go for it that easily
Like the way I’ve always done before.
This isn’t just a crush
I don’t want our relationship to end

Always
No! No! I don’t ever want to break up
What? What? Is it really obvious?
Love! Love! I want to rely on you
But I pretend that I don’t love you

Always
No! No! My loss
What? What? You’re good
Love! Love! We’re hot and cold
We should be attracted to each other

Always
No! No! In front of you
What? What? You ask
Love! Love! I want to tell you
But I pretend that I don’t love you

Always
No! No! Unruffled
What? What? You ask
Love! Love! I want to tell you
But I want to hear your feelings first

[Kingdom]

I hope everyone is enjoying this album as much as me! I know a lot of this is pre-new album excitement but Dejavu is going to be in my cd player for a while!

Prologue - it's sounds cool! I hope this turns into a full songs.
POP DIBA -
Lollipop -
Okay -
Aitakute - sounds just as good as the live.
Passing by - PURE GORGEOUS!!! It's beautiful!
AT THE WEEKEND - GREAT! who's the boss? I'M THE BOSS
interlude - sounds pretty cool!
Melting - la la la melting chocolate!
Hey baby! - owns my life!
...Life - probably the only album track I'm not in love with
Anata dake ga -
Suki de -
Bambi - one of my faves!
I don't love you - perfect ending to the album! Old school kuu vibes

I had Ayu's love songs for winter, and now Dejavu for spring!

Passing By PV

thanks to yee1014707@tieba

[Picaflor 7/4]

This is easy for me.

Summary: I don't like anything after the interlude except anata dake ga.

Improvements: Needs at least one off the fishbowls and black candy.

[kaled kalil]

Passing By have connection with Fantasia ♥

Edit-
The PV is a little boring and the guy is so... weird

[Kingdom]

Bambi's pv is so cute with a great ending!

[love in music]

she's really pretty with the shorter hairstyle in Passing By but the other hairstyle she has is ridiculous the PV was pretty boring and the guy is really, really ugly. actually, I hardly like any of the PV's on the album. they're all pretty cheap looking, but at least she looks good in them.

[Gubsi]

ok i make it short...

Dejavu album is great
PV's are gorge
Dream music park is amazing (i know it, i was there)
booklet and theme is LOVE
thxbye

[Cloudsoldier]

Major WTF moment!

And Dejavu is plain awesome!
