[Koda Kumi] Dancing In The Rain in her 172nd thread

[happiholic★]

Well, I would say that this is her 15th Anniversary, so I feel the title is appropriate. I also feel like there is a chance for some sort of best album. It is Kuu, after all. The title would fit a best album.

[Gubsi]

she always have a BEST album containing 4 albums...
so Kuu or not, we would get it this year anyway!

true or not...
i probably think the tracklist is true, there are too many points every fake tracklist fails.
still wouldn't say it's 100% true But this reminds me alot at the Leaked Namie/FEEL tracklist and everyone was like: La La La? what fake ish is this? kuu had a song like this!

and when i had a private chat with corvina, she mentioned it could be even both true! lol
which would be a good promo when she has a Walk Of My Life best/Self cover album with all her important songs and maybe 15th Abniversary Version of them!
like some TAKE BACK, real Emotion, Cutie Honey, Butterfly, you, Koi no Tsubomi, Ai no Uta, etc filled album with walk at the end...
which would be a great promo for an actually album afterwards! ^^

BUT let's see this will be an exciting year for fans and music in general!

That self-cover album idea would be great tbh

[~StarCatcher~]

I would love a self-cover album with the title "WALK OF MY LIFE"

But an original album with that title is meh...

Either way I can not wait for new Kuu stuff to come out♥

[kaled kalil]

Did she already recorded any music video? I haven't see any news about it yet.

[thinkingoutloud89]

I hope the tracklist is true, since then the Namie songs that came with it will be true too ;P

a song like Journey, or even an album title wouldn't be to far off tbwh, after what was Bon Voyage (even if BV was meant to explore a more foreign sound)

[Gubsi]

^^well she had some "shootings" in 2014 that never saw the day of light yet...
so idk if she had some PVs or unused photoshoots ready or not...
and she recorded many songs like whats up with the sexy HIRO produced song? lmao

[Gustavopc]

^ I hope that HIRO song and BRING IT ON will make it to the light of day this year
...

[Gubsi]

^true!
BUT i hope we'll get the electro-rock version from .? MUSIC FOR ALL¿ (or whatever event that was) where she performed this and not the normal guitar one from her tour/lets Party vol.2

exciting times ahead, sistrens!!

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I hope we get an announcement this week.

[Corvina]

I guess it's already a bit late for an 03/04 release announcement.
It's just about 6 weeks till early March.
Unless WALK OF MY LIFE is a BEST with another form of advertising than an original album, I don't see that release happening.

[kaled kalil]

Maybe she's going to do Beyonce style, just releasing the album with no announcement. haha

[Gustavopc]

Also, I wonder if we'll get to see more pics from that 15th anniv. promo shooting. That pic of hers is so on point, I need more from that session

[happiholic★]

^I second that notion.

[kumis]

I'd welcome the idea of a self-cover album only if it's something like Ballada where the songs pretty much all have the same instrumentals (barring a couple of them that were actually different) but new vocals

Anyway to me it seems really unlikely that a release in the first half of this year will be an original full album anyway... unfortunately the days where we got a new single every couple of months and could always expect a new album or maybe even two in one year are long gone

I think we will get a new album the first half of the year.
First it is her 15th anniversary and second:
She did release an album every year even when she was pregnant she kept on with Color the Cover. So I really don't think there is any chance she won't release an album soon.

[Corvina]

An original album for Spring is already confirmed by her FC.

[Gustavopc]

Unless you are remastering a song, I think it's pretty dull to re-record only the vocals of a song. If she's were to self-cover her songs, I'd prefer them to have new arrangements as well, otherwise it could sound like a lazy self-cover. But that's my preference. And Namie also changed the instrumental for CYC, including all violin screeches whenever she wasn't singing

[Gubsi]

^yeah BALLADA was nice BUT kinda lame tbh
a whole new Arrangement would be great!
i mean like the mature Kuu Version so she can take her hits in an updated Form into a new chapter of her career!

i mean if we got something like the dark rock version of Real Emotion from Black Cherry this could Be pretty epic!

[thinkingoutloud89]

^i hate the rock version of real emotion
it takes eveyrthing away from the song
