[Koda Kumi] The 158th Thread - 「Color The Cover」 (2.27)

[title156]

Kono mama Shake Hip! Shake Hip!
Do you know my mind
Do you know my mind mind mind, my my...

It's struck in my head XDDDDD I luv it!!!!
And those 3 PVs are awesome, colorful and Kuu is gorgeous. Kuu's PVs deserve a blu-ray release more than Ayu's. lol

Just watched Pink Spider PV and it's kinda boring, srsly. The better scenes are out (she shooting the screen) and nothing happens. Just a bunch of random scenes that doesn't even have a connection if you don't know the story.

[x-megumi-x]

Color the Cover is awesome. I still don't know if I like it better than ETERNITY or not, but it's really a solid album.
My favorites so far are Pink Spider, Shake Hip!, One more time, One more chance, Otoko and Dou ni mo Tomaranai.

The only song I don't like is Uta wa Waga Inochi. I love her voice and the way she sings in it, but the song is not my style at all.

The booklet/photobook looks hot as hell! I can't wait to receive my copy <3

[Delicious n Bold]

I'm really disappointed with the album..

however, i like pink spider, blue velvet & otoko

[emi♡]

This album is fantastic. Of course I still like all of the upbeat songs better than the ballads...but just like her other cover album, the ballads are pretty nice.

Again, I'm really proud of the arrangements they came up with and all the different feels of the songs. And I really love that jazz track. That's great

I do feel like this album is a bit more "muted", and that the tracks aren't so in your face. I kinda like that.

Thanks for the SkyDrive file, emi. Much easier than using all those sketchy upload sites.

No problem


And omg just saw the Shake Hip PV. She. is. fabulous. Must learn dance.

Ah, and pink spider pv is up @ jps now. I'm behind. Weird how we got dvd rips before the tv hd ones.


Yeah, they really should have had pink spider be extended for the finished pv.

Just watched the Shake Hip! PV, too! One of my favorites in a long time. I need an HQ version to watch on my HDTV and bask in her glory. It was simple, but I loved the dancing!

I love Pink Spider PV, but I don't get why is it so short...

ahh that's disappointing.

[Heavenly]

I listened to the album and I have to admit that I like it !
Except a few tracks, I find it very rockish, colorful, rich and fresh !
Maybe I'll buy it later .

Oh I see~ I was wondering wth lol

[Gustavopc]

I though the "movie" version was going to be included on the DVD, how sad ):

So, here goes my overall views on Color the Cover, longest post of the year so far hahahahaha

Spoiler:

Pink Spyder - Great song, even if it's not as dark as hide's version. idk I think that still kept its strength and now there's a bit of sexyness. Much better than the cover thar RIZE did, which was basically chaotic-way-too-long intro, ten times more screams and drums and guitar riffs.
The PV was a bit messy, but it's really eyegasmic! Confuse plot, yes, but then I'm used to this when it comes to Jpop She looks amazing in those scenes inside that cage

Shake Hip! - Probably my favorite on the album rn It's catchy and I could play it on repeat for like forever hahahahaha Everything fits well in here, amazing job
About the video, I love the simple concept of it, and she looks amazing in both sets! Plus whoever coreographed it did an amazing job, cant wait for live perfomances OMG ASFGHJKASDFGHJASDFGHJKL

Lovely - I like it, not that sweet-Melting-ish, yet cute. Could be shorter, but this doesn't bother me at all lol
The video tho was a bit poor, not a fan of her outfit nor her hairstyle and there's nothing going on... Skippable

Jounetsu - AMAZING I LOVE HOW SHE PULLS OUT THOSE AGUILERA ROARS IN THE ENDING OMG Seriously, amazing! If she ever pulls another concert like ETERNITY at Billboard Live, she NEEDS to perform this!

One more time - I love the feelings I get while listening to this, a bit ethereal a bit rnb. It's like a reloaded version of It's too late meeting faraway <3 Amazing

Alone - I was hoping for a new version since they didnt include a preview along with the other songs ): Still I love it hahahahaha The song grows in such a beautiful way and her vocals are superb

Blue Velvet - Reminds me of TATTOO! The intro is great and I found such a love for that break that words can not explain it omg Wish it had a PV instead of Lovely uuuurgh

Otoko - It doesnt sound like a Kuu track at all, but I like it hahahaha Its style reminds me of Aya Kamiki a bit, which is a total win. Great song, I can already see this growing on me to one of my favorite songs of 2013.
ps: I hope Kuu perform this and Blue Velvet with No Man's Land in a rockish section of JAPONESQUE Tour, it could be EPIC!

Dounimo tomaranai - Even though I was hoping for a latin styled song, this one is such a solid and catchy tune, there's no way I could not love it hahahaha The begining reminds me of all those generic pop songs for dance clubs, with that chiptune-ish voice and all hahahahaha

Koyo no - I think it's the weakest track on the album, but as the album is so strong, it's not something that bad hahahaha Beautiful song, totally singable in a concert ending, but not my piece of cake

Uta wa - I already loved this since she covered it back in 2010 [?] and now I'm glad there's a HQ version of it lol Epic, totally. If she keeps ever stuck to this style when she gets older, I wont mind at all. Actually I'd love so, I think!

Summing everything up: Catchy and strong album, already prefer it over a handful of some of her studio albums. It could be longer tho, only 10 tracks + Alone gives you a feeling of "OH MY LORD I NEEDED MOAR SONGS IN THIS". Amazing job Kuu, keep on this track for your new studio album k?

You must never get your hopes up; Slavex/Rhythm (*insert 2nd half of company name here because i forgot it*) would never give you what you want.

AMAZING.
Love this song by UA. But Koda really made this song even better.
Pink Spider and Blue Velvet also amazing!

[Cahz-]

Disappointed with this album . I only like three songs: Pink spider, Blue velvet and Dou ni mo Tomaranai. Anyway, it's a cover album, still looking for her next original one...

[Delicious n Bold]

^Thanks!

I was gonna say rhythm nation but that was just wrong
And google failed me somehow. Somehow...
Someday
I like that song actually!

I'm really lovin dou ni mo tomaranai(?)
I actually paid the album dust when I first listened.
Now I'm digging it! Weird but I don't care.
