[Koda Kumi] The 117th Official Thread ~walk to the future~

[emi♡]

^ So true.

I'm really excited for this cover album. I hope it helps boost her popularity! It seems like something the Japanese public would just eat up~

She always does fun things!

Kuu is doing an 8 day show (an elegant show with strict formal attire) in partnership with Billboard, 4 days in Osaka, 4 in Tokyo.

In October she's releasing a 1 disc cover album of the older hits in japan, only they will have electronic and updated arrangements.

1/3 of the suki de pvs have leaked, but there's 45 second previews of the other two on youtube.

Universe dvd is being released in Oct too!

[Picaflor 7/4]

maybe I'm late and this has been said but I don't know. I hope that this "cover album" is all new material. and no "collection" of songs she's covered in the past. lol as in, I pray for an album not consisting of cutey honey, won't be long, venus, can we go back, got to be real, etc.

[emi♡]

^it should be considering the types of songs they said she'd be covering I think...

I'm still so excited that the UNIVERSE dvd is coming out in October! It's so soon! yey. everything is great.

[waterballoon]

So the new album would be a compilation of cover songs? Is it finally that we get a good rip of Swallowtail Butterfly?

and about the Ayu thing... I was worried too but whatever now that Jaejoong's in blossom's PV we have a clear winner lol

still Kuu though; just like how Gossip Candy literally owned MOON/blossom, Suki de x3 is so much more solid than crossroad imo

[FIRSTKLAS]

"Cutie Honey" is originally from the 70s, and is one of Kuu's biggest hits, so it probably *will* be on there.

Yes! I'm sure it will; that song is from '96 and she apparently likes it enough to have performed it twice (or more? At least that I know of).

not really a compilation, I'm sure there will be new songs (covers) on it ^^ I'm expecting one of them being Love Is Over, she performed it recently during the promotion of BEST~third universe~

I want studio versions of the Hiromi Go songs she performed live back in 2008 >_<

lol I hope not.

Although...I wouldnt mind, a new album that's the covers, and then maybe a bonus disc with all the covers she's ever done or something lol

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I don't know if any of you guys are familiar with late 90s American pop, but before P!nk did rock-pop she actually did R&B-hiphopish music for her first album. Random, but thinking about what songs from the 70s-90s Kuu could do I thought of this song, although I don't particularly like it or anything, I think she would sing it very well, Kumi-fied:



Then I remembered that the message said it was JAPANESE music covers... so yeah, we probably shouldn't expect and English covers, sadly.

[Kingdom]

I hope she does Hiromi Go's "How Many" that she performed with him live at KHS.

[Minttulatte]

I haven't been following Kuu news lately. I had no idea she was going to release a cover album and have a 8 days long show thingy. I've been so busy. :< But anyhoo I'm so excited for this. More Kuu stuff means more Kuu obsession for me <3

she looks so tan! proving that she just came back from Brazil

[Nackar_91]

A cover album? That's great news!

What is it with this sudden trend of cover albums? First Kobukuro, then Superfly, then JUJU, now Kuu. I just hope people haven't already grown tired of it by the time Kuu releases her album...

[waterballoon]

she obviously wore a wig in that press conference LOL she's so cute <3

Awwwwww, she looks so gorgeous, I love this hairstyle so much (pretty much on everybody)

[Minttulatte]

I love that hair, that make up. She looks so beautiful. I want her hair even though she probably has extensions. <3

[Corvina]

This cover album sounds really interesting!
Looking at the description it'll be new songs from 70s-90s she covers, not only ones she already did.

and thank for those pics, she looks gorgeous!
