[Koda Kumi] The 164th Thread – 56th Single 「Dreaming Now!」

[marty]

Ohhhh, XXX is pretty good!! Really nice!

[Beauty4123]

"XXX" is absolutely amazing! i love it!

[Lady~Deviance]

"XXX" sounds alright.

Nothing to wet panties over but it's a decent club banger.

The background music is on point but I can't stand Kuu screeching "THE BOYS WANT BAD GIRLS" like a dying goat.

[jyujiw]

I found a pretty normal single. But geez, the PV for Dreaming Now! is wow
She doesn't stop anytime, it's pretty amazing, and it's nice to see that her production is quite well recently

Perry made "Ur So Gay" and people are so stuck on this dumb song from four-hundred years back when Perry didn't mean it to be offensive. She was calling one of her ex-boyfriends homosexual gay, but people assumed it was "stupid" gay. I can see why people are upset with Perry's use of the word "gay" but to call her homophobic is ridiculous seeing as how she is a huge icon in the Gay community. (Hell, in Firework she has a gay couple in the MV like lbvs ugh)

Back on topic, XXX is great.

That's basically how I feel. XXX is decent, might be a grower, but it's not amazing. And Dreaming Now is... inoffensive. It would've been a lot more interesting if we didn't literally just get IS THIS TRAP? which I like just a bit more.

It'll be neat to see how she integrates them into her next tour, though. Also I'm still really excited for Bring it on.

[Minttulatte]

Holy shit, XXX is awesome! 8DDDD

[setsuka]

I mean I always used to harp on about her release schedule being perdictable

but kinda missing my yearly winter Kuu ballad....its not winter without a new Kuu pv of her crying into her cellphone about an ex

anyway the single is awesomeeee, the song in better quality makes it ten times better

[Minttulatte]

^It does feel a bit weird that there's no new winter ballad coming out. I love to cry my eyes out at her new ballads and usually at this time of the year I do that. I guess we just have to make a playlist of Kuu's winter ballads and listen that over and over again. x3

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I think it's too bad that Asian artists don't release Christmas albums. A Kumi Koda one would be fantastic. I'm already addicted to Kelly Clarkson's latest one.

And about Katy Perry, I've only ever seen the MVs for Teenage Dream, Hot N Cold & I think I saw part of I Kissed A Girl once. I've never paid a whole lot of attention to much of what she's done. However, all I ever heard from others was that she was homophobic, so my apologies if I was wrong.

[marty]

^
YES, we need a Kuu Christmas Cover album! I love those! And then she can remix Santa Baby partying hard in the club with a sexy Santa outfit. Or All I Want This Christmas Is You.
(I'm hooked on the old Christina Aguilera Xmas cd lately! :p)

A Kuu Christmas album would be cute

And it's okay; I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad. Just makes me upset when people bash my favorite artists without sources and whatnot lol but the more you know!

[hsienko]

XXX is awesome! The lyrics are kinda cheezy but

I hope they remix it cuz that would be friggin amazing.

Or better the hosts were at one of the FC concerts, you can see some footage!
It's so cute that they're wearing the shirt and the towel!

Thanks for the vid, by any change does anyone know how can I download it from there? I tried video downloader on firefox it sadly couldn't do it.

[Minttulatte]

I finally got to check out that video, but only the first 6 minutes because then it stopped working which of course annoys me to no end. But at least I got to see that small clip of UNIVERSE and ECSTASY performances and it looked awesome. I hope this Fanclub tour will be released♥

[Benikari47]

The single is actually really decent overall, Dreaming Now! has grown on me a lot and i live for every second of that breakdown.
XXX is hot, but this is the first time where i can't stand engrish at all.. I'm usually someone to encourage it but here she makes me cringe, it's horrible lol. Everything else is great though, lovely single and probably the best from this era.

[Gustavopc]

First that Summer Single Collection and now this. Oh, avex.

[Minttulatte]

^What if Summer Single Collection 2013 was so popular that Avex realized that they should release a collection of her winter ballads? I would take Moon Crying out because it's not really a winter ballad and replace it with stay with me. Then I would also add Unmei, Kiseki, come back, Pearl Moon and 1000 no Kotoba there.

And for next spring they will release Spring Single Collection 2014 with songs that has that spring feeling on them. x3 That would include songs like BUT, Cherry Girl and It's all Love! in it. x3

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I didnt even know about the Summer Collection one... Also are they SOOOO lazy that they can't even shoot a proper independent cover for it?

[Gustavopc]

^ The Summer one was pretty much the same, Summer Trip cover with just different text. Avex did the same with BoA, releasing a Winter Collection using her new single shooting for the cover lol

Does anyone have the CD Only FC Version for the Dreaming Now! cover in HQ?
