[Koda Kumi] The 157th Thread - 「Color The Cover」 (2.27)

[Minttulatte]

Autotune (and I'm not even bothered with it) or not, Pink Spider still kicks ass as one of my favs of Kuu. I have a hard time to think it's even a cover because the song sounds so "Koda Kumi" to me. XD ♥

Auto-tune, for me, always gives me the illusion that the artist can't sing. Kuu -can- sing, and so an entire song in auto-tune is just...unnecessary. Using it here and there isn't bad, but a full song is just, I don't know... not worth it for an artist that can sing well.

Same for me, I think the auto-tune would've worked well if it wasn't used for the whole song, it's just too full on for my taste.

PV looks hella cheap considering how good the teaser images looked
Dat motorcycle scene...

I'll try to keep an open mind until we get the full PV and can listen in HQ, but I don't think this'll be one of my faves from Kuu.

[Ayu_Love]

I think I am going to wait for the full PV since it doesn't really get into the story in the short ver., but just like the initial attitude we sometimes have with previews, hopefully the full will be much better! I'm still glad that it's a PV with some element of story to it, to be honest.

Koda looks so beautiful in the PV for Pink Spider. Looking forward to the full thing. I agree with the too much autotune thing though..I know it's an electro-pop style track and it's meant to compliment the instrumental and all, but it actually hurt my ears. Perhaps a more high quality rip in the future will make it sound better.

I am also hoping for a better full version. The short one is not guaranteed to set the song for the whole thing.

The auto-tune... I didn't really notice until people pointed it out. It fits the song and she doesn't do it often, so I'm not too bothered by it. There may also be some regular vocals in the song in the full version!

[salina]

shake hip sounds good in full

[AyuHamasaki01]

Shake Hip! is awesome. I like it better than Pink Spider tbh.

[harufi]

Shake Hip is a hell of a lot nicer on my ears than Pink Spider, I like it~

[Beauty4123]

the short version of the "Pink Spider" PV is awesome! kuu looks amazing! i can't wait to watch the full PV!

[Dream]

Shake Hip is awesome! OMG *-*

[kaled kalil]

Since Pink Spider short version is so damn short, I'll wait the album version after all.

Can't wait to see the goodies for the JAPONESQUE Tour.

[inthezone]

Shake Hip! is perfect! Hope the PV is hot

[happiholic★]

Looks like I will be buying Japo AT on Blu Ray. Color the Cover is also part of the tour? Goodbye money.

Also Shake Hip! > Lovely + Pink Spider

[BlackSilence]

i actually never heard Pink Spider, so i listened to the original...Kuu needs to hide xD her version sounds so empty and lifeless...and shallow.... I dunno the original has more to it *shrugs*

[kaled kalil]

Shake Hip is really cool and fun, kinda erokawaii, I was missing this! So sad that there's a freaking tag, but anyway.

I was checking the image, and this is what I can see:

- Four acts + Encore
- Seven medleys
- The fourth act starts with Boom Boom Boys (or Bling Bling Bling, but I don't think so), probably the rock part.
- The first song seems to be So Nice, it looks like a "two words" title.
- The second song seems to be with a kanji title, the name is too bold and short for a regular name, and I don't see "So nice / V.I.P." happening, but who knows...

[setsuka]

lol I just noticed but why are they on motorcycles in the Wild West

anyway but SHAKE HIP is great!!!!

so excited for the set list too

I don't mind autotune either, doesn't ruin the song to me at all. She looks hot & I'm loving chorus so much. Awesome.

[maze]

everything about this woman is perfect, seriously. can't wait for her to slay that 2013 tour!
