Kuu's Engrish was noticeably better in TAC than it has been in the past. It's still no good, but it's a lot better than it was.

You're welcome. I'll most likely be making more, so if you want a certain part of the PV, I'll make a GIF of it for you~

^If I wasn't gay before this PV, I'd be gay because of it. My god it's terrifying. There is no way that is possibly attractive to anyone.

OMG, I know! Gawd knows, I would've been pissed if she did another real Emotion. Her engrish was even engrish.

OMG really! Thankies! Okay, I would like to request the part where she has her leg up in the air with her phone. Is that okay?

I don't like that ain't cool both the song and pv... the song is so repetitive...its like fergie sings the whole song except the solo part...which imo was bad. I think koda's voice would sound better in the solo part if she sang the lyrics in Japanese. The pv looks kinda low budget and it focuses on fergie way more than koda...watching fergie bends her body is... The only thing I like in the pv is the way koda looks with her outfit and hair in the parking lot scenes. Overall I'm disappointed with this collab...I was looking forward to it but it failed to impress me. Black diamond >>> that ain't cool.

Moon crying the song I liked from the first few listens but after a while I grew tired of it. The pv is better than that ain't cool but it reminds me of Ai Otsuka's daisukidayo pv too much and plus koda's acting wasn't convincing...I didn't even felt sad while watching it.

i just watched [Moon crying] PV
and i feel dissapointed with the PV
especially the last scene, isn't it really funny? why she choose aquarium with that little fish floating around to border her with that guy? its just so weird...
i thought that we can see, that dress that she use on cover...it will be beautiful...i love the song, but the PV is really destroy it...
and i wondering, what she said to that guy, i think she said "aitai" thats mean "i want to meet you", am i right?

for your reading pleasure

君とよく歩いた
いつもの道と私
月と歩きながら
悲しいメロディー
we walked together often
on our usual street
while under the moonlight
a sorrowful melody

I didn't like That Ain't Cool feat. Fergie, not because Fergie overshadowed Koda but because of Koda's Engrish. Singing Engrish verses right after Fergie sings in perfect English just makes it worse. If she had stuck to Japanese, I would have liked it more.

Other than that, I like Lady Go! Moon Crying is alright, and I haven't heard Once Again yet.

Meh. I like Moon Crying as a song, but as a PV it's disappointing. That ain't cool's catchy, but everything in that song's a Fergie song. Once Again is okay (when I first heard it would be composed by a reggae queen, I was expecting more. It just didn't go out into that genre as I hoped). I don't like Lady Go! because I'm not a fan of trance/synth.

You said it. I'm almost embarrassed for her after hearing it, because I can imagine Americans and Fergie fans hearing this song and laughing at how Japanese people can't speak English correctly. If she had mixed in some more Japanese, it at least would have had more flair. My favorite part was when she says "onna ko tachi to, not the same." Language mixes like that sound cool and draw attention away from weird pronunciation.

The song is OK, but way too repetitive, and I hate that Fergie overshadows Kuu. Plus the PV is boring.

AAAANNND you guys should stop arguing. THAT AIN'T COOL.

I LOVE THE MV FOR MOON CRYING! It still isn't as good as you though.

i don't know why you guys don't like moon crying. i think its one of her best ballads. her voice is just right for the lyrics and song. she doesn't over do anything. she also sung the song with a lot of emotion which i like. she sings the lyrics with some emotion unlike ai no uta which she kinda ruined when it got to the chorus.

Wow, That Ain't Cool just sucked hardcore for me. Definitely not listening to the rest of the single now.

shaking, SHAKE IT. See? It's all connected.

I don't know what to say. He looks so old.
Kumi looks cute though. It proves that she looks better in her personal life as in her singer life.

Yes, I agree with you.

Kuu's Engrish was kind of bad in That Ain't Cool, but for some reason I liked her Engrish in that song. I don't know why though...

I've only listened to the full versions of That Ain't Cool and Lady Go! and I have to say...

That Ain't Cool - That Is S.H.I.T. How terrible - I guess we shouldn't have expected anything good because anything hyped always ends up god awful.

Lady Go! - This is the song I was most excited for and I think it is AMAZING. BEST.KUMI.SONG.EVERRR. Seriously, this song is pure gold - it's like Ayumi Hamasaki good. Probably the first Kumi song I'd actually place above a few good Ayu songs. It's fresh (yes, I don't think it sounds like girls/With your smile at all) and just SO SUMMERY - and like a beach party/anime jet skiing SUMMERY, lol. Way to GO KUMI! I've got to say that this one song has been worth having to hear all the crap she's been releasing since the last AMAZING song she put out (Get Up & Move!!). I'll have this song on repeat for sure at my GRAD PARTY on the BEACH.
