[Koda Kumi] The 150th Thread - Best Hits Summer

[ayu_ready?]

I think it's just a collection of original mix songs made into a non-stop mix album + 1 new song & PV

BIG BANG had 1 released like this recently

other than that. should we wait for a PV of Kuu in the bathtub judging by the covers lol?

anyway, this image makes me feel so sunny & positive XD

The first post on her website is so colourful!! I love itttt. Kumi is the Queen of Summer

Still dunno what the DVD is, do we? I'm gonna use Google Translation for a derp description.

The translation is, as I thought, is from a-nation and stuff, but I super hope that it doesn't include the one on the Love Me Back single. I would be very upset, since I bought it. Although, the benefit of Love Me Back single is the PV on it. I like that PV more than the one that's on Japonesque.

Agreed.

I really like the covers, although I much, much prefer the CD + DVD version! I like the colourful font and she looks so energetic. I think I like the fact she is covered in bubbles the most though, haha I love the foam! Like a summer foam party, I think it's mean to to be. I think she is actually topless, too? I like the thought into the font, a very summery cover!

Ahh I love the 'Whatcha Waitin on?', preview! It reminds me of Lady Go! The more I listen to it! I love it, very upbeat and cute, I love the electro instrumental beat! Very summery and something different yet familiar from kuu, I can't wait to hear the full! I agree it sounds like she's about to go into rap for the verse at the end, like in Love Technique.

I do think the tracklist could be better. :/ I am happy Heat, D.D.D, Cutie Honey and Hey Baby! Are on there though! But yes, I looks like they tried to do a mix of sexy and cute songs, but I do think they should have put more songs like Lady Go! (especially!), Lick Me <3, Juicy and Hashire! on there though...Although it'l be interesting to see how all the songs mix together, as they have chosen them for that. I'll look forward to listening to them together.

Some info about the album and PV:

You can see a yellow strap on her shoulder in the photo where she is sticking her tongue out. You may be able to see it in the other one too, I haven't looked But it seems to be trying to give the impression of a bikini top

Wow i wasn't expecting a new release already! i actually like the covers, they are tacky in a good way lol.
Not liking the preview much though, i've never been a big fan of Kumi's cutesy songs.

This, this so much. Don't forget about POP DIVA is one of her most addictive tracks ever.

[waterballoon]

omg it's bubbles/foam. seriously? i thought they were clouds when i first saw them

[Princess_Of_Roses]

they have the cds on cdjapan right now. Doesnt say if it has bonuses or anything. I wanna wait and see if there is anything worth getting. Im so on the fence with this album.. I dont get remix albums (or I havent yet) but I get all the bests.. so what is this technically? All her bests have one new song and none of theses songs are remixed..........so yea im not sure!

[freedreamer]

The covers are jarring O.O hahaha
but cant wait for a new song!!

btw.. here's something to share
