[2006] Do You like Kumi? How did you start to like her?

[LacusClyne]

i'm very curious to know how everyone start to like kumi. especially there are a lot of people who dislike her.

EDIT: and please NO BASHING!!!!!!

i did not think much of her when she just started out and i saw her pv in MTV Asia(taiwan channel). but, last year, during those 12 singles, there are so many sets of Birthday Eve floating around AHS that i got curious about her music. so i when to download 'birthday Eve' and ooh i love the song so much that i went to download more! now, i had already bought kuu's Secret and Best~second session~ album, i had preorder her 4 hot wave single too. but due to finacial problems, i will not be able to spent so many money on cds later on.

anyway, i'm proud to say i'm a kumi fan now!

I think she's okay; not as big of a fan as I used to be, but there are a few songs of hers that I like.

[Keishi]

I believe 60-80% of Kumi fans are from FFX-2.
I start to dig her up since FFX-2.

LOL I just started to like her this year!

Around one year ago someone uploaded Selfish and Gentle words for me for a recommandation.
I didn't liked the songs and thought Koda Kumi would be one of this "Only popular because of showing her breast" singers and disliked her.
Then I listened short to Real Emotion...without thinking anything about it.....

And then suddenly around one year later I had a song in my head-I knew it was by Koda Kumi-but I didn't knew the title.
By fun I made a quiz called "Which Koda Kumi song fits you the most?" and got Real Emotion.
By chance I found the download of it and it was the song running though my head!

Then I saw a big artikle in a german magazine (peach) and read about her 12 singles.
Then I got interested and downloaded her two best albums and Secret.
And I thought "Woww this singer isn't bad as I thought".
Finally I am a fan of her.
I still don't like Selfish and Gentle words a lot.
And hate her A********ING Dancemoves in Shake it XD^^

I got into Kumi in 2004, after watching the "LOVE & HONEY" single CM.

[HvnSntGurl]

I really don't like her that much anymore. I still like her music though.

[alt.total-loser]

I got into her just this past January because of all the singles she was releasing, and people were uploading them constantly so I started downloading some and voila~! I became a fan.

[CREA.tive]

I just started liking her this yearI'm not a really big big big big fan of her but she has great songs

[ayu_fan929]

I started to notice her after BEST ~first things~. Then I listened to her 1st song out of the 12, 'you' and I fell in love with it. And now I'm a Kuu fan too!

[walking proud]

No way!!

[Mirai Noah]

Yes! I became a fan back when Selfish came out.

[elepop]

I got into her a little after "secret"... I think?

[chibi_sunny]

I'm not exactly a fan of her but I do like several of her songs. I started listening to her after I had heard Real Emotion last year.

[micster]

Yarrrrrrrrrr, started liking her in august laast year after i asked akurei to introduce her to me

Lol...thats what I thought/heard of her...

Yea I only like Kumi's Real Emotion....other than that...nah..and I dun really listen to her...

[Rurutia]

its not that i dont like her or her music, if fact some of her music i just absoluetly love, but i think her sexy image goes too far. Its okay to be sexy but from that song, ima sugu hoshii and her concert dance moves involving the male dancers, started to deter me away from her.

Yep, I found her by FFX2. I was so obsessed with the opening theme (When it released in Japan) and I had to find out who sung it.

And then, I found Kumi and her single(s) with 1000 no Kotoba + Real Emotion on it and eventually bought 3 of her singles.

But, I didn't get any new music from her until this year/last year because of the 12 project.

(Btw, I love your hair Chris XD)

[sora2522]

hmm....AnY pummeled me w/ kuu stuff, aLOT of them. i heard love goes like.. and i liked it. i fell in love w/ you pv. then i saw koi no tsubomi, and i became a fan. but later, i found the more...$|v++y side of her o.o;;;

but yea, i'm getting her 3 disc limited edition best 2nd session soon >w<

[Norrel]

I thank Akurei ^.^

I asked her one night what are some good Kuu songs and I told her what songs I already like for to compare them to Kuu songs.

And after that.. I started liking her

That sexy image used to bother me... A LOT. That's why I used to not like her that much. But now, I really don't care. As long as the song is great, that's all that matters.
