[Koda Kumi] The 117th Official Thread ~walk to the future~

MONGOL800's Chiisana Koi no Uta is so weird @_@
kuu's version sounds really different

[ストロボ・EdGE]

She pulled off Chiisa na koi no uta soooo wellll!! I first discovered that song through Natsukawa Rimi's cover of MONGOL's original, and it's better than both, haha.

The arm on her face is bothering me though. x___x

I wonder what the fate of Gossip Candy and Suki dex3's A-sides is though. Clearly she's not doing another Best.

Studio album for early/mid 2011. I'm almost sure of it.

[happiholic★]

All the previews sound good, except that they all sound kinda similar. Like all the covers were re-done with an R&B sound, with a hint of something else.

[Matthew]

I hope there is a HK version of the cover album. I want it, but things are getting way too expensive right now. Singles, DVD's... can't buy it all. The exhange rate is getting worse too, that doesn't help.

[jbrat2219]

This song IS weird...

Okay so I haven't made a Kumi purchase since Kingdom @__________@ I know, I'm a bad fan lol. I'm thinking of getting the cover album just cause!

[YuriChan]

Actually, I wish that Kumi had of covered "Taiyou no Komachi Angel"!

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Why is it weird? It's a rock song. :/

And here's Rimi's version if anyone cares:

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Well not all Asian music. Mostly just the Japanese. The Chinese aint too bad most times and Korean music is quite cheap for CDs.

[Matthew]

Japanese music is stupidly expensive. I thought that maybe because this is a cover album, it might have been 2000 yen instead.

CDJapan aren't selling the Universe Tour DVD, for some reason. You'll have to get it elsewhere.

Well what really sucks is the exchange rate between the Yen and Canadian Dollar is terrible right now. For example, the Yen price on Kuu's new CD is 2913Yen. That used to be about just under $30CDN when the exchange rate was really good. I dunno what happened, but now at the lousy exchange rate its $36CDN. As for Kuu's Universe Tour DVD, I just borrowed my mom's credit card and ordered both these new items from YA cause due to the crappy exchange rate it's much cheaper to buy from YA.

Who is she covering "Tattoo" from, Jordin Sparks?

This might be a stupid question because she's kind of a nobody, especially in Japan, but it's the only "tattoo" I know.

i'm with you, why is so expensive ??? The japanses people are rich?
Jesus i don't know if i can keep buying japanese stuff



BE MY BABY is really good

[ILoveGeniuses]

^i thought it was all covers of JPOP songs from between the 70s to 90s?

[ILoveGeniuses]

^i just checked Nakamori out. It says she was born July 13, 1965. She's 45 years old and is a famous Japanese pop singer and actress thats been active since 1982. She's had 23 original studio albums.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I must agree. For the price of 1 CD-Only Jpop Japan Edition i can buy 2 US artist CDs or in most cases even 2 Korean artist CDs.

[krauterol]

^
yeah but we don't know why there's always the temptation of buying japan stuff insted of US, UK....
I think they used to be very careful with the package, the presentation of albums is mostly amazing. (now I talk about kuu) But 1 album with that double-sized box including the album, the dvd with video clips, and always another dvd with a special live or something like that, many booklets (always more than one)... I know it's expensive, but there's too much stuff in it.

If u go to any music shop in any country with a huge market in music, the albums are just a simple box, the cd with the songs, and the booklet. It's rare to found anything else (maybe some special or limited editions, but it's nothing worth), then, it makes u think on download the songs and forget about spend money xDD that's for me at least.

With the japanesse music industry I'm very angry cause they always make me to want to buy everything! even a damn single!!!! (I found very heavy that every single has the cd+dvd version, it's like crazy!)

is anyone with me?
mainly avex is a genius making money xD
