[Koda Kumi] The 187th Thread - NEW ALBUM COMING SOON

[Uknow!]

Has someone a decent audio rip of love goes like from 2006 tour? ^^

[kaled kalil]

Gotta give outside those likes because I wanna see more of this side for her next tour. haha

@Corvina Yeah, it's still a little hard to judge the whole style of the music from 15 secs, so 6 or 4 are a good number either way. I was missing those piano ballads anyway. ♥

And let's not insult people's taste in music. Out dated is classic to some. Cheap is minimalstic to others. It's subjective. I think we can agree Kuu works hard and loves what she does. She, like Ayu, is making the kind of music that makes her happy. And we should be happy for them.

The first mature post I've seen about this, really.

I love Kuu and always have since her very first album (contrary to what KuuXAyu-fan seems to think by immaturely trying to bring up Fantome). Do I think these instrumentals sound really cheap? Yes. I say that because I feel like she's a better artist than some of the material she's given.

Do I still love and support her? Yes, and I'm still going to give the album a chance. But I'm allowed to express my opinions in any form I choose without them being dismissed as "the same complaining", because that's all they are - MY opinions. That's all I'll say about that.

On the contrary, I love Insane's sound more than any of the OUTSIDE tracks so far, and Heartless sounds really lovely as well.

[Corvina]

The instrumental previews are up on her official site. If you open it, there are two different previews showing up.
The W FACE 30 sec preview is still up as well.

[Corvina]

BRIDGET SONG sounds like a song I'll probably love in full.


And here's Kuu's LINE message from today:

第9弾LAST!!!配信􀼂􀇆ribbon heart􏿿

楽曲は、、

insideから「BRIDGET SONG」
outsideから「Ultraviolet」

「BRIDGET SONG」は、日々頑張っている女性を描いた楽曲になっていて、、この先のストーリーはまだ内緒です􀨁􀅐quiet􏿿

「Ultraviolet」は、激しくて、かっこいい、ダンスナンバーになっています！
2016年ツアーの千秋楽の沖縄公演に来た方、先日発売になった「DOCUMENTARY FILM」を見てくれた方は、気付いてしまうかもーー！笑

そして！！！

本日で、このキャンペーンは終了！！
参加して下さった皆さん、ありがとうございました👏🏻❤️

insideとoutsideのサウンドのみのリリック動画をお届けさせて頂きましたが、どうでしたかー？
insideとoutside、どっちもなんやかんやゆーて、倖田來未！

てことで、ドキドキしながらスタッフさんからの結果報告を待ちます􀀰􁜁􀆙music􏿿

The 9th and last delivery!

The songs are BRIDGET SONG from inside and Ultraviolet from outside.
BRIDGET SONG is a song about a woman doing her best every day. The preceding story is still a secret!

Ultraviolet is a fierce and cool dance number!
Those who came to the 2016 Tour final in Okinawa and those who watched the recently released Documentary Film may recognize it. *laugh*

And!

Today this campaign ends!
Everybody who particpated in it, thank you!❤️

Getting instrumental lyric videos from inside and outside delivered, how was it?
Inside and outside, both are Koda Kumi!
It's what I'm doing.
The one you like.... *burst out laughing*

Whilde doing so, I'm waiting for the result report from the staff.

Have a nice weekend!

-----------------------------------------------

So I guess Ultraviolet is the song, which was previewd at the final tour date and was supposed to be the 60th single.

[KarenPang]

Someone on Baidu posted that Ultraviolet will be Kuu's 60th single & it will be a recut single

I doubt it's true lol

[kaled kalil]

The album is not even out yet and people are talking about a re-cut single... haha Glad to know that the song was not scrapped.

Poor My Fun, you don't deserve a preview.

[jiarongisme]

I'm getting a bit of a I'll be there vibes from BRIDGET SONG.

[Corvina]

Here's some info about the new songs from her LINE account, that wasn't posted yet:

WickedGirls is a song about a woman's daily life.
insane is like an attacking Koda Kumi. She's rapping in it, what she hasn't done for a long time.
Promise you is the first song she wrote for her own son.
Heartless is the song with the single piano and it's about times, when we're having negative thoughts.

I also translated the lyric snippets of the rest of the previews roughly, so that you can get a grasp of it, if you can't read it yourself:

Spoiler:

Ultraviolet
I did a single step
It's not over
Never back
I was disgusted
In the past
Let's go on betting
Let's go

BRIDGET SONG
I have lived in my own way
till now
With insecurity
but also with work and love
it was fullfilling
as it is

Heartless
Pretending not to know
I turned my back on reality
If this is ok
I want to sleep one more time

Promise you
Do not forget
At any time
That I more than anyone in this world
Believe in you
Now and forever

Bring It On
It's time to
Everybody!
Jumping!
From right to left
Say! Yeah!
Oh! Yeah!
Raise your voice

insane
The riot that doesn't stop
Open bottles, bottles
I'm a lion
Seeing models, models

Suki deshite
From my heart I like you
I like you
I want to dream the dream, that's not possible
I want to dream
This feeling
I wasn't able to conceal

WickedGirls
Tuesday
Incoming mail on the phone
mm...,
Wednesday
I jump into the sale I just caught site of
Thursday
Today is a day
I want to rest

What's up
Life is just right
Not exisiting is boring
It's a safe life
Let's kick and fly!

Stand by you
Although I stand still
I believe undoubetly
Wonderful days will come

Bangerang
It's not a shaky flight, isn't it?
Don't do a nose dive
In the air

On my way
On my way
At which place may I finally arrive after the struggle?
Will I be guided?
Please tell me

Damn real
Now the time, give it back
I wish that that time is a dejavu

[Gustavopc]

Both songs from today sound really promising, I hope we get bigger previews soon.

[Gubsi]

^if the translation is right on twitter, today was the last preview but we'll get a medley with 14 songs tomorrow 1:00p.m. japanese time...
maybe with vocals this time?

love both previews!!

Lol, no, it's not right.
As I already posted, they gonna count all the results of the campaign tomorrow 1pm Japanese time. And depending on those results, we will get another video on 14th February.

Most likely that's going too be the case since Cupcake has got a choreography. I also want this song to get a MV. It's still my jam! Another song with a video is probably Promise you since it seems to be so special for her

Everything sounds promising and I'm glad my girl is delivering. Been so long since the last album release but you can notice she's worked hard on this one. You will get a bit of everything, as always

[kaled kalil]

^ Well, the fact that the song has a choreography already doesn't means that it's guaranteed that it's going to have a PV. But I can see it happening either way.

Thanks Corvina for the translations, this time she seems to be exploring a little more with different themes and stuff.

insane's lyrics so far is pretty much the same from Lay Down, so let's see how it turns out at the end.

[ayu_ready?]

okay, will she have a W FACE tour? if so, will she divide the tour into two parts or what?

[kaled kalil]

Her new tour is called KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2017 ～W FACE～, and it seems that the result of the campaign will decide if the tour will be more inside or outside inspired.

[Gustavopc]

I guess it'll be her usual stuff, divided by segments. The campaign will probably help her decide the setlist but I dont think it'll affect the structure of the whole thing that much. She's probably already decided in which song she'll pick a fan from the audience, in which she'll bem hanging from the ceiling and in which she'll perform upon a drone flying across the audience.

[mi|kshake]

Reading a translation of Walk of My Life...wow, what great lyrics! Getting Ayu vibes from them.
