[Koda Kumi] 139th Thread ::「4 TIMES」+「Ai wo Tomenaide」

[Gustavopc]

I wonder why it was PLC feat. TEEDA instead of feat. BACK-ON... The band composed the song, plays the instrumental and the backing vocals... Maybe they could not put everyone in the PV?

[Ayu_Love]

I like what I've seen of her performance so far! I think her vocals is one of the best there from all the previews and the performance has so much energy, It makes me can't wait to see the rest. Which is a straight win for me!

[maze]

is this the back cover for the cd only version?

Spoiler:

[ren'ai]

^so sexy <3

Btw has anyone heard her saying saying sh* t in V.I.P? XD right after she says the first shika irenai areas

[do it again]

who's the rando wailing in that video? doesn't sound good at all... the not TEEDA one.

[Ayu_Love]

I think it's a member of BACK ON, doing the back vocals. Although his voice isn't as good, I like that all three of them add to the energy of the performance.

@Ren' ai: YES! I just listened to it to see if you were right, and she totally does say '*****!' loud and clear, hahaha! I didn't notice that before, LOL.

[tenshi no hane]

I thought this might be fun to share~

Ayu mentioned Kuu-chan on twitter?

ayu_19980408 ayumi hamasaki: 今日は、くぅもTRFさんも、本当にまぶしくて凛々しくて、涙が出た。私達アーティストはいかなる状況も分かち合いながら、同じ痛みを知って同じ優しさを持ち寄って、強さに変え ていくのだ！！！RT @AKANExTaaan: @ayu_19980408 今日のあゆすごく凛々しくみえた！

ayu_19980408 ayumi hamasaki: Today, Kuu and TRF-san were so bright and inspiring that I cried.

(T/N: She's referring to the a-nation performances.)

Or is there someone else she can refer to by using 'Kuu'?

BUT already found some people on tumbrl reblogging this without crediting me (for example ****yeahkodakumi... lolgorlsbye )

[Minttulatte]

Ayu mentioned Kuu on twitter? Aaaw~ Cool that Ayu thought Kuu's inspiring ^__^ I hope they would collaborate someday. It might be interesting

That Tumblog takes things without crediting. Took my textless Ai wo Tomenaide covers without crediting me too. >_>

[freedreamer]

WHAT?!?! OMGGGG that is just so sweet
they're great friends

[Ayu_Love]

Awww that's so awesome that Kuu inspired Ayu to tears with her performance (Happy tears!). I think Kuu and Ayu are good friends. Whenever they're both on Music stations together they always sit next to each other and talk and giggle together. <3 And the fact that she mentions her as 'Kuu' and not 'Koda Kumi', as well. It makes me strangely very happy since I love them both, hahaha.

Also, not sure if anyone has posted this already (I apologize if you have), here's some small scans of Nail Venus Oct 2011:






I have to say, if I didn't know the date of this magazine I would have thought it was from Black Cherry era, hahaha. She looks beautiful and sultry. <3 Looking forward to full and other magazine shoots.

[Corvina]

So sweet of Ayu!
She never mentioned a other female solo singer directly as inspiring before, didn't she?

Also here's another a-nation pic, my favourite, so cute.



And Teeda is actually singing with her in PCL, not just his parts but some of Kuu as well. That's great!
It does sound messy in all previews we have, but it's probably absolutely fun live, just how the song is meant to be!

She's said similar things about Namie and Ami on twitter before. She's also following an Utada fan/lyric account.

[AyuHamasaki01]

Aw so sweet of Ayu to mention Kuu on twitter

[Chibi-Chan]

Hi guys, I'm searching desperately for a hq dvd rip of TRICK and secret PV's. Does anybody know where I can download those?

[Luja.]

The a-nation picture is soo cute, thanks Corvina!
Kuu is just awesome. After I watched the tour DVDs of 07, 08 and Love&Songs Billboard Live lately and also seeing her newest works, I am always so impressed by her. She is such a professional with this awesome voice and so much talent. And she still manages to always laugh and smile (in the making offs), even though she works so much!
