[Koda Kumi] The 152nd Thread - Beach Mix + New Single TBA

[Zahara]

From what I remember back in the day, Kumi was singing as Lenne through Yuna.

The piano version of 1000 no kotoba from this video sounds soooooo beautiful o__o does anyone know if there's a full version of it, even if it's without Kuu vocals?

[ahtka-chan]

^You can find that version in "Final Fantasy X-2: Original Soundtrack". The name of it is "1000 Words (Piano Version) ~Feelings That Crossed Time~"

So even in the intro, just because Leblanc was wearing the songstress outfit, the voice that came from Leblanc's mouth was Lenne's?

And really offtopic but do you guys understand the opening of FF X-2? I mean, Leblanc got the garment grid from Yuna, so she could have and wear the songstress sphere, but what was the point of having the appearance of Yuna and singing in a concert? O.o

And do you guys know who worte the english versions of real Emotion/1000 words?

^ Thank you for sharing! That piano work is magnificent!

So, as I said I am in the process of getting my manager into Koda Kumi. I wrote on her wall on Facebook my recommendations for Kumi's sexiest PVs. Today I was going through my Facebook and see that my other manager, who is friends with both me and the first manager on Facebook, "liked" my Kumi recommendations as well as posted the Shake It PV to her wall I'm going to turn my workplace into a house of Kumi worship.

gosh, that piano version of 1000 no kotoba makes me cry ;o;

mh...

I think it was Jade Valerie from SWEETBOX? the one who provided the english sound version of songs for the game

I love GTTT, haters gonna hate~

[Minttulatte]

Oh, the epic Final Fantasy X-2. I'm one of the view people who actually worship this game more than the original FFX (which is epic and makes me cry my eyes out too). I just can't express how much I love the dressphere system and the battle system and the characters and and and... I just wish Kuu had done the English versions for the songs and also the voice acting for her. That would've been so epic. XD I would've gotten into her in 2004 if she had done those. I heard Japanese versions for real Emotion and 1000 no Kotoba after I had listened to Jade Valerie's versions and thought deep voice sucks. -.- It would've been other way around if I had heard Kuu's voice first.

And I just realized it's been a while since I last played FFX-2. I gotta start a new game in it after I have beaten Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria and Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly. XD

[Delicious n Bold]

I loved real emotion in FFX-2 but I never liked 1000 no kotoba lol.
My friends always told me it was epic and amazing, but I found it to be a drag.

Lenne is kinda important in the story but she just really appears in the end of the game

Yes, I was always really pleased knowing that Lenne was modelled and voiced after Kuu because I am a huge fan of X and X-2. Although I'll admit X-2 seemed to be more for the girl fans of Final Fantasy, I really enjoyed the dresspheres as well. But that's cause I am a sucker for pretty costumes.

EDIT: Oh yes, here is the link to my mediafire folder with all the Kuu instrumentals I have (songs that don't have official instrumentals), which I have got from Utauga, M-karaoke, and ClubDAM. http://www.mediafire.com/?a7vny0ud904rs
If there is one you'd like that isn't there, let me know and I'll see if I have it somewhere!

I don't really care for sales but I hope GTTT will sell better than the Japonesque singles.

Hopefully the Muv Luv fans buy it lol

[happiholic★]

Muv Luv?

The song Joy, which is technically by TRF, but features Kuu, is it sung entirely by her or is there another singer?

[Gustavopc]

^ There is another singer as well. The song is pretty beautiful btw but it lacks something imo

[AyuHamasaki01]

I now I'm probably late but I'm really excited for the new single!
