[Koda Kumi] The 187th Thread - NEW ALBUM COMING SOON

[a❤martian]

I'm so pumped for Bring It On. It's really unique for her. And it sounds amazing. Insane sounds good, too! I think I'm gonna love this album(s)!

[Darkifrit]

These previews make me understand it is hard to have an opinion on 15 sec instrumental previews.
I adored Promise you since first TVCM vision but if it was the first time I would have heard it with this preview, I certainly would not have loved it that much.

I can't wait to have the list of songs with PV! Only 4 weeks left until the release!

[kaled kalil]

Yeah, Promise you's preview is quite underwhelming, and knowing that the song is good kinda gives me hope for the other ballads that aren't that impressive, like Heartless.

So far there are 6 ballads, right? Yorokobi no Kakera, Sukideshite, Kimi Omoi, On my way, Promise you and Heartless.

I'm guessing BRIDGET SONG is a IN THE AIR type of song, and My Fun something like Gimme U.

I'd call Promise you a midtempo popsong. And Suki deshite and Yorokobi no Kakera could be as well in full.
Kimi Omoi, On my way, Heartless and Stand by you are ballads for sure though. That's still a nice mix with 20 full songs.

Kuu shared today, that the preview campaign ends tomorrow and with the total numbers of shares on the 13th 1 pm Japanese time, we will get another song version on the 14th!

Has someone a decent audio rip of love goes like from 2006 tour? ^^

12 - Love goes like...

[kaled kalil]

Gotta give outside those likes because I wanna see more of this side for her next tour. haha

@Corvina Yeah, it's still a little hard to judge the whole style of the music from 15 secs, so 6 or 4 are a good number either way. I was missing those piano ballads anyway. ♥

And here I was hoping we can walk into the new era w/o that awful flimsy packaging. I guess not.

Thanks for the lyrics translation Corvina. I'm hoping that the lyrics on the album are gonna be WOML level strong and not Shhh! kind of mess.

[KarenPang]

Someone on Baidu posted that Ultraviolet will be Kuu's 60th single & it will be a recut single

I doubt it's true lol

[kaled kalil]

The album is not even out yet and people are talking about a re-cut single... haha Glad to know that the song was not scrapped.

Poor My Fun, you don't deserve a preview.

[jiarongisme]

I'm getting a bit of a I'll be there vibes from BRIDGET SONG.

[Corvina]

Here's some info about the new songs from her LINE account, that wasn't posted yet:

WickedGirls is a song about a woman's daily life.
insane is like an attacking Koda Kumi. She's rapping in it, what she hasn't done for a long time.
Promise you is the first song she wrote for her own son.
Heartless is the song with the single piano and it's about times, when we're having negative thoughts.

I also translated the lyric snippets of the rest of the previews roughly, so that you can get a grasp of it, if you can't read it yourself:

Spoiler:

Ultraviolet
I did a single step
It's not over
Never back
I was disgusted
In the past
Let's go on betting
Let's go

BRIDGET SONG
I have lived in my own way
till now
With insecurity
but also with work and love
it was fullfilling
as it is

Heartless
Pretending not to know
I turned my back on reality
If this is ok
I want to sleep one more time

Promise you
Do not forget
At any time
That I more than anyone in this world
Believe in you
Now and forever

Bring It On
It's time to
Everybody!
Jumping!
From right to left
Say! Yeah!
Oh! Yeah!
Raise your voice

insane
The riot that doesn't stop
Open bottles, bottles
I'm a lion
Seeing models, models

Suki deshite
From my heart I like you
I like you
I want to dream the dream, that's not possible
I want to dream
This feeling
I wasn't able to conceal

WickedGirls
Tuesday
Incoming mail on the phone
mm...,
Wednesday
I jump into the sale I just caught site of
Thursday
Today is a day
I want to rest

What's up
Life is just right
Not exisiting is boring
It's a safe life
Let's kick and fly!

Stand by you
Although I stand still
I believe undoubetly
Wonderful days will come

Bangerang
It's not a shaky flight, isn't it?
Don't do a nose dive
In the air

On my way
On my way
At which place may I finally arrive after the struggle?
Will I be guided?
Please tell me

Damn real
Now the time, give it back
I wish that that time is a dejavu

Was No Man's Land the last song she rapped in? Or am I forgetting any other songs.

[Gustavopc]

Both songs from today sound really promising, I hope we get bigger previews soon.

[Gubsi]

^if the translation is right on twitter, today was the last preview but we'll get a medley with 14 songs tomorrow 1:00p.m. japanese time...
maybe with vocals this time?

love both previews!!

Lol, no, it's not right.
As I already posted, they gonna count all the results of the campaign tomorrow 1pm Japanese time. And depending on those results, we will get another video on 14th February.

[kaled kalil]

^ Well, the fact that the song has a choreography already doesn't means that it's guaranteed that it's going to have a PV. But I can see it happening either way.

Thanks Corvina for the translations, this time she seems to be exploring a little more with different themes and stuff.

insane's lyrics so far is pretty much the same from Lay Down, so let's see how it turns out at the end.

[ayu_ready?]

okay, will she have a W FACE tour? if so, will she divide the tour into two parts or what?

[kaled kalil]

Her new tour is called KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2017 ～W FACE～, and it seems that the result of the campaign will decide if the tour will be more inside or outside inspired.
