[Koda Kumi] 137th Thread - 4 TIMES for summer

[Zeke.]

I like Poppin' love cocktail (a lot). I love IN THE AIR! V.I.P... don't get me started. What a letdown. Her club songs are not good anymore and it saddens me. I tried not to even have expectations but this still sounds so dull. KO-SO-KO-SO is decent. I mean, it's not anything spectacular but it's a song that could definitely grow on me.

So my ranking right now goes... IN THE AIR > Poppin' love cocktail >> KOSOKOSO >>>>>>>>> V.I.P.

Hopefully V.I.P is better in full and that they just picked a bad part for the preview. I wish it had more energy.

WOW I FREAKING LOVE POPPIN' LOVE COCKTAIL!!!
V.I.P gives me UNIVERSE meets TABOO in da club vibes
IN THE AIR is nice too..definitely not like her typical mid-tempo pop stuff...

i love how the mood of the album changes..very unique

so all the full tracks will be out today? radio rips??

[Gustavopc]

OMFG VIP AND POPPIN' LOVE COCKTAIL FULL IN MY LIFE NAAAAAAAAAAAAAO <3 <3

VIP U AND ME <3 This single sounds great omg I'm not excited about IN THE AIR, but the other songs oh man they sound very promising

Poppin' love cocktail is like Hashire! meets Hey baby!, which is great
VIP sounds like UNIVERSE, maybe it was produced bu HIRO? Its beat is so damn awesome, cant wait to hear the full song
IN THE AIR sounds like anytime meets Sora, meh

[Polyrhythm]

V.I.P and KO-SO-KO-SO are great. Already forgot what the other two sound like

[jbrat2219]

Previews never do Kuu songs justice. They sound okay, my favorite it still ko-so-ko-so... Probably because I know the PV will be flaming hot lol.

[freedreamer]

yea i agree. previews dont do justice to Kuu but with an already-fantastic chorus..it just makes me even more hyped! HAHA

[Gubsi]

Poppin'love sounds so awesome, really!! <3
IN THE AIR is a surprise i like it a lot!
V.I.P.... first i was like "hm ok..." BUT nao i'm like rubbing myself from the couch to dah bed! LoL they described it with heavy dance beats, so i think the crazy beat will appear in the chorus cause all we hear is the verse and the part before the chorus!
KO-SO is still hot!! <3

this single sounds unexpected and thats what i love about Kuu!
The BEST ~fourth whatever~ era starts great!

Lollipop/Suki de/Anata Dake Ga/POP DIVA/Poppin'love/IN THE AIR/V.I.P./KOSO

[Gustavopc]

^ I think the fourth era started with It's all Love!, didnt it? cuz the last song on third universe was stay with me... But I agree that it keeps gettin' better <3

[happiholic★]

I feel like I should hold off until I get my single to listen to the songs, but that's so far away!!

BUT wasn't It's all Love! till Can We Go Back part of the BEST+ALBUM combo!?
thats why both had "universe" in the title...

BEST ~third universe~
8th AL "UNIVERSE"

BEST 1st "TAKE BACK-Promise/Star"
BEST 2nd "you-Someday/Boys<3Girls"
BEST 3rd "Koi no Tsubomi-Can We Go Back"
BEST 4th "Lollipop-4 TIMES+"

and since Lollipop i had this little feeling of matureness in her songs...
BUT maybe thats just me! xD

[adantatu2]

i only like KO-SO-KO-SO (and i know that since some days ago), i will wait for the full songs and maybe they can grow on me.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Yeah, that makes sense! This era is amazing, can't wait for her BEST ~fourth dimension~ lol

[happiholic★]

So, I caved in and listened to the previews. I'm not super excited for any of the songs, but I will give them time to grow on me. VIP was probably my favorite.

[se7entheaven]

so the single started like from dawn to dusk

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

the previews sound so mediocre

I guess I'll wait for the full thing, + pvs too

Thank you so much for those very HQ previews! I love the way V.I.P. & KO-SO-KO-SO sound but Poppin Love Cocktail sounds meh & IN THE AIR sounds just okay imo.

[maze]

I already love this single

Poppin’love cocktail is stuck in my head!

Releasing singles, on 08/17, we have Kanjani8 and SDN48. I really don't think Kumi can go against both of them. I dunno, maybe Kanjani, but the AKB/SDN/whatever48 fever is so crazy in Japan that I think they'll get the #1 spot.

About the previews, after listening a lot, I think IN THE AIR = KO-SO-KO-SO > VIP > Poppin'love Cocktail. But it's just me and it's just previews. I can't say for sure if one is better than other yet.

[Twinkle !]

^ well SDN48 aren't that oh lala , their past singles sold about 60-65k in first week , not like Kanjani8 which their singles sold about 150k in first week

so if I'm not wrong my probably is,

4TIMES may debut #3 or #2 ,so if kuu can sell more than 65k in first week I have a good feeling that Kuu can be #2 , And I'm kinda certain that kuu can climb up later to #2 , since the strong sales from wtvr48 is from the first days sales

so yeah if you can look at their daily sales they are like 1-1-2-6-10-15-hell

and Kuu isn't that bad her sales drop fast but not like SDN48 for sure

lol oh i love these marketing or whatever things
