[Koda Kumi] The 155th Thread – New Single 「恋しくて」 (12.26)

[ayu_ready?]

people at AHS are crazy, really

she's just wearing a costume. she's just making a PV
duh

I am really excited for this, whatever it is, I don't care what she portrays, I just love Kuu & want more of her stuff. if it is made by Helter Skelter director - it makes me even more excited, and you shouldn't be surprised of what she made the girls look like if you watched that crazy Helter Skelter film, guys

[ExodusUK]

lmao at the upset about the head dress..did you see her 12 single covers?! she's not one for cultural sensitivity and it isn't an issue in japan tbh

[koumori]

Koda looks great. Can't wait to hear the song.

[tenshi no hane]

Fine. Some people think it's offensive, others don't. Can't you guys just make a separate discussion thread? This thread is for Koda Kumi, not for political discussions.

[YuriChan]

I'm sorry... But, WTF? On a lighter side, I'm looking forward to the PV to the song.

[freedreamer]

wish Japan isnt too badly affected by the earthquake this time ><

[tenshi no hane]

Only one person has been lightly injured so far. And all tsunami warnings have been canceled. (source: asahi news)

[ayu_ready?]

well, FIRSTKLAS, it is better to ban the US for what it did with the Natives then
let us just hope for good promo and nice sales for Kuu this time

[isthisLOL?]

Laughing at the headdress discussion.
The PV looks like it may be interesting, love the director.

[Minttulatte]

I can't even take the drama seriously. You should have called Kuu a racist in 2006 when she wore a headdress for D.D.D cover too if it's really that big of a deal! -.-'

And the live stream for Premium Night ~Love & Songs~ got cancelled? I'm so sad. I was waiting to see it myself!

Oh, sweet. I've always wanted a song like this from Kuu.

I didn't listen the whole song through but I did like the sound very much. Makes me think why Ayu doesn't do rock like this anymore. :<

lol I cackled when I read this

[Delicious n Bold]

I think that people should be able to do whatever they want.
If there are consequences, they should be prepared to pay them.

anyway, on topic: i don't want a cover album.....

Awesome pics, thanks for posting them

[Minttulatte]

Those really look like they could be from Edge Style. :3

[Ayu_Love]

I'm glad no one was badly hurt due to the earthquake and Tsunami <3

Reading through the posts, I think I'll just recap for people slightly, as I think some are confused

- Koda is releasing a new cover album to celebrate her 13th anniversary which will be released sometime in February! So far the only tracks confirmed for it with previews are 'Shake Hip!' and 'Pink Spider' (Originally by Hide), however they should be releasing the preview of the 3rd song soon.

- There's going to be a PV for 'Pink Spider', where the PV is based on a Manga called '5 girls of Buffalo', which was a Manga that was never fully released back in the 1990's, but featured in CUTiE in 1999. However, it is said the first series/chapter will now be released January 8, 2013, shortly before the release of Kuu's album and 'Pink Spider'. So Kuu's PV is a live action PV of this series, and could be called a tie-in for the manga release, although I am not sure if it is officially.

- The series is about 5 prostitutes living in the American West during America's westward expansion. Two prostitutes, Candy (Who is played by Koda) and Suzie, escape their brothel and meet other prostitutes during their journey. The other prostitutes are casted by other famous singers and actresses in Japan, not Kuu's dancers.

- Koishikute is now being released on the 26th of December. There has been no other confirmation of any new singles yet, just the new Cover album, where the title has not been released yet.

- Unfortunately Kuu's live at Budokan (can't spell) online stream was cancelled due to an Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. So far there hasn't been any news of it being streamed again, or if it will.

Everyone might know what's going on already, just thought I would do a quick synopsis incase anyone missed anything.

Looking forward to the 3rd preview, I've loved both previews so far and I am excited for the PV! <3
