[Koda Kumi] The 166th Thread – 11th Album 「Bon Voyage」 (02/26) + LIVE TOUR 2014

[tsumekaze_]

WOOOOO EXCITED! I recently explored the world of kuu's remix albums and I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM. half of the songs are even better than the original ones, and the originals usually rock so yeah. She looks gorgeous++1

[Minttulatte]

She's so elegant in those DH6 covers♥ I can't even express how much more excited I can get lol. Oh God, Pearl Moon remix? I've always wanted that song to have a new version♥

[freedreamer]

GORGEOUS driving hits cover!!!
AND Wow its been forever since i saw a 16track Japanese album

she placed Koishikute and LALALALALA back to back?! =.=

[NintendoHTF1242]

Why would she have two 1 minute songs right next to each other? Shady.

[kaled kalil]

@corvina two interludes right next to each others doesn't make much sense, its probably just a short song like BEST FRIEND OF MINE.

[Heavenly]

I hope the interludes are as epic as JAPONESQUE's !

Good to see she worked with Tommy Henriksen again! BUT still my jam.

AMAZING COVERS FOR DRIVING HIT'S 6!! I love them!

[Beauty4123]

Wow, I totally love the Driving Hit's 6 covers! Kuu looks absolutely gorgeous in them. I love the color purple they used in the covers, too.

[ayumisrael]

One of the better Driving Hit's covers, I don't like most of them but this one is cool! She looks pretty.
Songs chosen for remixes are cool, can't wait to see the 7 others!

I am kinda dissapointed that there will be interludes one after another (even if it's a short song and not an interlude), and now I hope for no ballads/mid tempos at all too (maybe 1 tops if at all?) Just really cool smashing popping songs please. And next time kuu, don't put interludes/short songs one after another =P At least spread them.

Seeing Henriksen is great because of BUT, but why on a song featuring a rock band?

P.S.

I will hate kuu if Let's Show Tonight will be awesome ala INTRODUCTION and INTRODUCTION FOR TRICK and she won't make it a full song (or ruin it like Black Cherry save for ending part) or regret that she didn't include a full version. But we will see if it's that amazing.

[Corvina]

Let`s Show Tonight is with 1:21 even shorter than the introduction. I mean, really? Why? And right before the actual interlude. It`s really bothering me.

Why is the album on iTunes ¥1000 cheaper than the actual physical CD Only?...

I think because you don't get a booklet and the case. ^^

[Gustavopc]

LOVE the covers for DH6 All DH covers for me are amazing except for the first one, and those are not an exception. What does it say about the DVD tho?

Kinda weird two short tracks one after the other... Any chances it was a typo?

[ILoveGeniuses]

Id love the DH6 covers as a framed poster on my bedroom wall. Love the style and violet's my favorite color.

[happiholic★]

I also love DH6 covers. The one where her hat covers her eye is just

I see it also has a DVD, of the Taiwan Live? I don't remember that happening at all. Any one have photos and/or tracklist?

[ILoveGeniuses]

If it has a Live Concert this may just be my first time buying one of the DHs albums. Never noticed that at first.

[ayumisrael]

I got the JAPONESQUE tour blu-ray so no need for the taiwan live.

The DVD should have a certain documentary though, not the live itself, the CD+DVD is still 2800 yen.

[happiholic★]

^Ah, so this Taiwan Live was a re-hash of her current tour, just like her last one

I wonder if bundling her mini-lives with albums is gonna be her new thing? I guess it makes sense, as a way to give people incentive. Plus, her fanbase, I assume, is shrinking, so not not worth the effort to put out a lot of content that few people will buy. Instead, fewer releases with more content to keep the Kuu stans thirsty.
