[Koda Kumi] The 168th Thread - LIVE TOUR 2014 ~Bon Voyage~

[Corvina]

There's some old stuff always coming up again here and there, and Universe is one of it.^^

Btw. there's new promo for her contactlenses line coming up, cause they add a new colour (hazel, she's wearing it in the Bon Voyage covers).

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I wonder if we'll still get the usual summer single this year or if they'll skip it this and do some special project near the end of the year instead.

surprise! Kuu "new" track "IT'S SO DELICIOUS" from Sony compilation "DREAMS COME TRUE 25th ANNIVERSARY BEST COVERS"!

seriously, i don't mind if this year she wanna release 3rd cover album. <3

Thank u so much It's really a good song

[marty]

I love Crank tha Bass, it's strange and psychedelic in the most delicious way!
We were all here saying all Bon Voyage songs were Kuu basic stuff, and yet it turned out being one pretty unusual album for her standards, lol.
No proper club song, a lot of uplifting, funny tracks, some experiments and just one sloppy ballad. Strange.

[toniayu]

Crank tha bass remix is better than the original

[happiholic★]

I'm addicted to Its So Delicious. Amaaaaaaazing!!

[NintendoHTF1242]

I've been so obsessed with LOL someone send help

[terra]

^Me too! At first I'm so annoyed with her "Ha ha ha raphing out rooud~" but now...

[abestfah]

Really glad this thread comes back ^_^

I don't mind good tracks like Is this trap or XXX hasn't been included on album, it should be special thing for fanclubs who buy the single.

I love when Kumi dares to do something new, something that can be risk to lose fanbase like cutting cute part in concert or producing new kinds of songs such as Crank Da Bass.

I have a chance to participate Bon Voyage Tour at Kanagawa on 21 May ^^, are there someone like me?, so excited even if she doesn't sing my favorite, On your side and Go To The Top, in tour.

Since Kuu prepares sth special for her anniersary and it starts in December, do you think we can expect something then? I want to go to Japan for Xmas and besides CDL I wonder if there's any hope for potential Kuu (or Namie) concert, has she ever had one in December?

I think there could be one special concert or a small series of concerts for her 15th anniversary in December.
She already had 10th Anniversary Live~FANTASIA~ on the 6th of December 2009 in the TOKYO DOME.

But on the other hand you never know....

[Minttulatte]

^She did FANTASIA in 2010.

IT'S SO DELICIOUS is a amazing song! I loved it since the first time I listened to it♥

Well, I believe she might be going to release a new best of album since the last one she released was in 2010 and since then she has released many songs so it's about time a new best was released. I just hope it would have few new songs on it too. :3

And she might also have a concert of course. I don't know if it's a Tokyo Dome concert though... probably not. Since she seems to be in love with smaller stages, maybe she has another Billboard Live Tour. I love the first one so much so I wouldn't mind another♥

Oh you're right sry

[SKYia]

This may be stupid but ...why does she celebrate her 15th anniversary in 2014? The debut was Dec 6th 2000, right? Shouldn't the 15th anniversary be in 2015? Or am I missing something very obvious?

[Possessionless]

^ Dec 6th 2014 will be the start of her 15th Anniversary year

A Bon Voyage review: http://day1day2day3.wordpress.com/20...voyage-review/

I know most of you will hate this review, but I think he's right... Just wanted to throw in a critical point of view, because I think it's a little bit frustrating that Koda's stuff is (most of the time) never questioned in any way.
Don't get me wrong, I like Kuu and there are songs from her I really love, but most of the time it's quantity over quality for me.

Huh? I don't think this is true at all. If anything I think that applies to Utada and Namie but especially Utada.

Because both of them don't do the cutesy (not acting my age) bubblegum songs, and don't do slow emotional winter ballads that are expected in Japan, and appeal more to western audiences that way. Koda Kumi get's questioned a lot because she'll go from Taboo, to stay with me, to lovely, and then back to Ecstasy where as Namie and Utada usually keep their music in a very similar style.

[setsuka]

lmao that review lost me @ her coming for Kuu's RnB tracks, like no

anyway I think Kuu's is a divisive artist even for her stans, I mean everytime she drops something its quite split on what people like or don't

totally agree with the blind stanning for Namie and Utada, esp. compared to Ayu and Kuu.....I mean Ayu can fill multiple pages of opinions for stuff people don't like each album era

makes the artist more interesting to be a fan of

[Corvina]

I actually was never able to take isthisLOL? (the one the review is made by) seriously.
I mean, he questions absolutely everything about Kuu, her charisma, her live ability, her voice (??) and so on.
And he loves POP DIVA, the epitome of screaming in the chorus, but is putting stuff like Imagine down because of her voice?
Also it would help if he started to write with some respect about the artists in general and worded his critiques better.
Like that nobody really cares in the end and that`s also the reason he got banned here. He doesn`t want to come off as a hater? So he should end sounding like one.
