[Koda Kumi] 136th thread :: 50th Single「4 TIMES」

[Ayu_Love]

I don't think any of Kuu's PVs have been banned yet, but I know that 'Ima Sugu Hoshii' was banned in either Korea or Thailand. (I think it was Thailand.) But this is anticipated to be her most extreme sexy PV to date! So who knows what will happen. I love that she says she has gone back to being 'Koda Kumi-like' for this single, which is why each song shows the sides of kumi we know and love. I really hope it gets aired, or if it dosen't we'll just have to wait til August 10th to see it! <3

And I didn't know she had her bellybutton peirced, that's cool. She does have a butterfly tattoo on her bottom back (on the left) I think though, maybe we'll see that! ;D

^ Ima Sugu Hoshi was banned in Korea.

That PV by Sowleu(?), was O.O

EDIT: I'm surprised that Kuu didn't give fun interludes or openings and endings for the songs. 3 SPLASH even had titles that included times. That would have worked for this single.

I think only six minutes of that (Love & I, with three songs placed into one "short movie" PV) was shown on TV (the full was like some, say, 15 minutes long?)...

How come it got banned (and when)?

[adantatu2]

they could release a short ver. of KO-SO-KO-SO or maybe a clean version.
but, if the complete pv is full of erotic stuff, it's gonna be banned

Yeah, they could be possible, but it's up to Avex on what they're going to do...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

wait i thought kuu said she was toning down the eroticness? doing a pv that'll possibly be banned is the complete opposite haha

[Yumsushi]

Wow the CD only is awesome. Her expression is just too weird on the CD+DVD (is that plumber I see?)
Anyhow, how is Oricon speculating that the PV will be banned? Has anyone actually seen the PV or are they just basing it on the lyrics?

[happiholic★]

^The industry insiders always get sneak peeks at stuff, even before its complete. Its impossible to tell how much of that article is just hype, until we see it, or it actually gets banned.

[Yumsushi]

Well, true or not, that's definitely one way to hype up the release and sell tons of the DVD version.
So just to confirm, both limited editions Cd and DVD will come with the postcards, right? I'm considering it...

I don't think that there are any postcards with the CD+DVD version. They just have the same cover.

You have a point there.

Korea is a very strict country.
They even banned Lee Hyori's video Chitty Chitty Bang Bang because it showed scenes of her driving in a truck without her seatbelt on... I think Korea is afraid that those things will "harm" their children or something...

[Minttulatte]

^Korea is too strict it's almost funny imo.

[freedreamer]

Are there any LARGE HQ photos of the 4 TIMES cover???

[AyuHamasaki01]

^I second that.

I remember they banned Rain's "Love Song" video because he was running in the middle of the street

[Ayu_Love]

Ahh it was Korea then, thanks! Yeah Korea is very strict. 4minute had to get rid of part of thier dance routine where they stretch their legs in 'Mirror, mirror', even though it lasted less than 5 seconds. And Rania had to change their routine as well because if they didn't they would be banned from performing live, and I think they were banned from some performance stations for awhile.

I'm suprised about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang being banned because she didn't wear a seatbelt though, that IS strict! D:

[LacusClyne]

Looks like the postcard version is sold out everywhere, I only saw it at mumo, so I guess I'll have to use a middleman service then. For those who want it, better act fast before mumo gets sold out too.

----------------

I'll just get the cd+DVD from cdj like always, I can't wait to see the pvs!
