[Koda Kumi] The 160th Kuu Thread - Koda Kumi Live Tour 2013 ~JAPONESQUE~

[kumis]

Yes she released Koishikute before the cover album which I liked but it is indeed very forgettable. Slow was actually the worst "ballad" on JAPONESQUE imo along with All For You. I hated AWT at first but now I really like it and Brave is decent

[Gustavopc]

The problem with her ballads is that since you she's playing safe in the same style with the ballad which are singles, except for Alive and Aisho. She always manage to put some amazing ballads on her album tho, like No Way, Okay, Slow and so on.

[do it again]

Hana, hands, Pearl Moon style ballads pleeeaaseee

[Dream]

One of my favs in their respective albums.

[emi♡]

No Way, Okay, and Slow are some of my favorite additions because before recently, she hardly ever had these heavier R&B ballads. I don't think she had any.

She has some ballad gems, but she has a lot of filler. I guess they keep her afloat with the "taste" of Japan.

[Zeke.]

Always and Okay are my absolute favorites.

[Minttulatte]

Kuu is releasing these you and Ai no Uta copies as singles because songs were really popular in Japan so she plays it safe because she knows her fans love that style. And yes, I fall into that category too. But she also leaves the gems on the albums which is good imo. Album is even more enjoyable if there's surprises here and there, and Kuu does it right♥

Thanks!!

And I really enjoy her ballads

[marty]

Yes, I think too she can still pull nice ballads, but they're NEVER on her singles. But I understand the logic, the superballad is so overstimated in Japan (like, Kimitte and Watashitachi by Kana, her only songs I hate with all I've got, and of course Japan love them so much she performs them EVERYTIMEXD)

[Delicious n Bold]

I heard them playing Kumi's whatchu waiting on at the anime north dance competition!
I don't like the song but I was super excited!!

To be fair, I never actually realised before...That most (if not all, for me personally) of Kuu's best ballads tend to be B-sides on her singles/albums. Her A-sides tend to be, as someone said, generic love ballads similar to 'Ai No Uta' because that's what her Japanese fan base supposedly likes. Although I reckon if she did a more deep interesting ballad like some of her b-sides it would do much better!

[kumis]

I was obsessed with Okay when Dejavu came out because it reminded me of a slow tempo version of Ciara's Ride

[kumis]

55th single《La Vie》
01.INTRO~dance in the LA
02.COME WITH US

[jiarongisme]

^ Do you have a source?

COME WITH US... COME WITH ME part 2? That'd be great though, I love that song, plus it's a summer single.

Was my first thoughts too.

Any first press info on it?

[~StarCatcher~]

My first thought, too=)

I think it's ment to be reminiscent of COME WITH ME.

But what does M.V.P. mean?
very unique song titles imo

[Heavenly]

Since the title is in French, will this single be "French-themed" ?
I hope so, maybe she will come in France someday like Ayu did !

[Gustavopc]

That's a fake tracklist that a fan created on a chinese forum, isnt it? It doesnt even include La La La La La...

Aaand it seems Blistah will be Kuu's guest on JAPONESQUE TOUR FINAL on Yokohama Arena.

I saw it on Tumblr and it came from Kuu's Tieba which is usually very reliable.. I never thought of this being fake but we'll see
