[Koda Kumi] The 167th Thread – 11th Album 「Bon Voyage」 + Remix Album 「Driving Hit's 6」

[Minttulatte]

I loved the booklet. It looked so classy, elegant and very simple. I've always loved simplicity the most♥

And thanks to emi for the better rip of Bon Voyage, too♥

//Looking at these radio show pics makes me miss those ustream broadcasts she used to have for Dejavu promotion. It was so awesome to see what kind of things she was doing. I wonder if those will return at some point~

[Heavenly]

Thanks for the proper rip !~♥
I really like the pics of the booklet. Do you think we'll get the same pics for the standards editions (CD / CD+DVD) ?

[Isicio]

^yes are the same

[thinkingoutloud89]

A member on jpopcentral suggested a new tracklist but excluded koishikute, lalalala and darling and I'm actually not so sure where to place them (neither am I sure if his/her placement of is this trap is food). any suggestions?

18. IS THIS TRAP?
19. U KNOW

edit: how about LALALALA after Winner Girls?

Wow Japan really goes all out in advertising even in the stores. Over here we're lucky if they even post up a poster in the stores for new releases.

For whoever was complaining about the previous rip, I have just uploaded a proper iTunes Plus rip. ♥ ~ http://goo.gl/ksTuoi

[freedreamer]

I cant get the 320kbps proper rip. Anyone can upload it on MEGA or MF?

lol the last time I saw any thing like that was for when Gaga released Born This Way.

Moments like this I wish I lived in Japan. I would literally just be living in the record stores.

Really? I saw nothing special when Gaga's BTW came out except a small sign on the side of the Anti-Theft Sensor Things as you walk in/out of HMV. Also yeah so would I most likely be stuck in the stores. Actually the idea of living in Japan worries me. At every turn I'd be tempted to spend. I'd never get any money saved aside. lol

Anyways Im loving this album. Also I get a minor Big Fat Bass Britney vibe from Kuu's Crank Tha Bass and I ♥ It.

I don't think it's her best album and I didn't like it much at the first listen, but today I've been listening it all day

Tell me about it urgh.
Last time anything big was promoted was Arctic Monkey's AM album, and that's because they come from my hometown. Our HMV was literally covered in merch, posters, vinyls; the end displays of every shelf in the shop were all their previous releases (and not just on release week, this was for about a month leading up to the album...).

Anyway, thanks emi for the rip! So excited to finally hear the full thing~

[ayumisrael]

Btw the first 320kbps rip from jpopsuki is completely fine, I don't know what people here are talking about (and I'm a legit 320kbps freak heard in earphones/big loudspeakers). Maybe people find the album's mixing/mastering lacking?

I agree! I always love seeing the pictures from CD stores in Japan (the booths are cool!). It makes the release of a new album seem like such an event! I'd for to my own HMV more often if they did things like this! (They don't! And rarely stock what I want to buy!)

The first rip that surfaced here on AHS was terrible, the jpopsuki one was probably fine but no one actually downloaded it before asking whether the rips were real or not XD

Listening through FLAC, I actually found the mixing/mastering for this album great and I'm suuuper picky about that lol

[taskinillusion]

"Schnitzel with noodles" is from the "My Favorite Things" song made famous by "The Sound of Music." It's so random that she has that on her shirt!

Oh my god I love "LOADED"!

It does NOT slow down! Perfect pacing! My main gripe with most songs, needless gaps, spaces and breaths, and the Verses are actually more catchier than the hook, which NEVER happens, and the hook is already gold itself.

Again, I live for those Verses. So FRESH. Extra kudos to them for throwing it in for a third time at the end and doing away with convention. Makes me think they realized and appreciated what they had. "TOUCH DOWN" could of did with the same treatment. Bomb verses just left forgotten for the 2nd half of the whole entire too long of a song without them parceled throughout.

But anyways......"LOADED"....

Perfect.
