[Koda Kumi] The 153rd Thread - Go to the top (10/24)

^MOON was billed as a 4 elements single with each song being representative of each. Basically, it was just a cliche way of marketing the single.

[freedreamer]

ôh..i see. LOL i thought it was part of some series...
ok then honestly, i didnt feel any element representation from the songs lol

[Ayu_Love]

MOON was the first single I got from Kuu, cause I didn't find Yesasia.com for years after I got into Kuu. LOLOLOL. I derped hard. Kingdom was my first album.

[Gustavopc]

Yeah, MOON was supposed to be the 4 elements single... 4 hot wave and 4 TIMES are fit this concept way better than MOON lol

[ayu_ready?]

I like her haircut but not her haircolour ugh

[happiholic★]

Which song was which element in Moon?

Also, Kuu should do a four seasons single next. I know she did it sort in the So Nice PV, but I want a whole single concept.

[jean-baptiste]

^Maybe it's

Moon Crying - Ballad
That ain't cool - Hip-Hop
Once again - J-Urban/R&B
Lady Go! - J-Pop Summer Song


Also, random question that has bugged me since this release: is it Lady Go! (capital G) or Lady go! (lowercase G)?

[Gustavopc]

^ According to the backcover of BEST ~third universe~, it's Lady Go!

Oh, I'd love this! But when should it be released?

It could be like MOON, but with songs that do not sound like demos... A Jpop cute song for Spring, an upbeat song for Summer, like Lollipop, a rnb song for Fall and a ballad for Winter. Epic, I'd say.

Has the single leaked yet?

@Gustavopc: Hm, good point. Maybe release one single on the first day of each season that represents the season (with a b-side), then at the end of the year compile it into a mini album with an extra song that somehow magically represents all the seasons. And of course the PVs will tell a story.

Oh, great idea It could be a great series leading to a compilation, I totally can see that

MOON was released after the scandal, so the reason why it may not sound like too "elementary" might be that she was depressed at the time. I think she didn't have that passion that she usually does when that single was recorded. Personally I still love it a lot, only reason why this single is my least favorite is That Ain't Cool. I can't stand that song because Fergie sings in it. Other songs are great, especially Moon Crying and Lady Go!.

Oh, and I want to listen to GTTT already! I wanna hear darling in full. ;_;

Same! I really like MOON, I think Moon Crying is a good ballad, Lady Go! Is one of my fav underrated songs from Kuu, and I love Once Again as well! The only one I am not fond of is That Ain't Cool

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

MOON is one of the only singles I purchased from Kuu. Ayu didn't release a summer single that year and I bought it out of desperation ahaha. But Lady Go! is my favorite song on the single. Still think it would have been a great video had they ever made one...

[happiholic★]

Once Again really is a great song. For me, that's the song that makes the single. Lady Go! is nice too, but I don't like the other two songs.

You could be right, but I personally think it had more to do with how the media would have reacted to her having too much of a sexual song or PV so soon after the scandal, so she stayed in the clear by keeping the release simple. (Maybe also by sweetening them up with a ballad...you know how the Japanese love those :p) But I do agree that she was going through such a rough time in those days, and Moon Crying (and the whole release itself) could have been a reflection of that.

And I always found Once again the most boring song on that single, I never listened to it. But I just rediscovered it yesterday after talking about this single...and I'm in love!

I loved MOON tbh, I am kinda happy her single after her huge scandal is one of her most successful and iconic

bless this Queen! turning tragedy to triumph

[Gustavopc]

I actually hated MOON with all my heart till some time ago, the only song I liked was Lady Go!. I got really into TAC right at the beginning but by the time TRICK was out I was already over it. But then she did that breathtaking version of Moon Crying at Taiwan and I totally fell in love with the song <3 But I still do not feel Once Again at all. It really is a good song, but when it comes to Kuu I expect way more from her songs
