[Koda Kumi] The 162nd Thread - 55th Single "Summer Trip" 7.31 On Sale!

^Same here!

[ayu_ready?]

HOT *dead*

[Minttulatte]

Can't download the single right now so I'll wait until the release date. And this must be the first time Kuu's summer single gets so much hate towards it. Oh well, I personally don't even care about interludes that much so I'm good with whatever they sound lol.

[Dream]

btw It's not like the 4 TIMES interludes were any better though

[chocopockymaster]

...those interludes are a complete joke. Talk about amateur hour. I like the concept behind it but the execution is a huge fail.

I can't stand TOUCH DOWN...IS THIS TRAP is okay, same for LALALALALA, but the only thing about this single that stood out to me was the phabulous cover shoot. Wish the songs were better.

[koumori]

I actually enjoyed the interludes, lol. They were funny, and the extra information about the PVs/songs was interesting. Not sure if I'd listen to them every time though.

When she is talking she says lalalalala really fast!!! It was a nice preformance but I wanna see touch down

[Neko★munication]

LAx5 is good. Not ground-breaking or anything, but fun and catchy and feel-good and summery. IS THIS TRAP is great, really catchy and well-done! Her strongest dance track in a while, tbh. Kuu sounds great in it, too. TOUCH DOWN is forgettable and rather basic Still, 2 out of 3 songs is pretty good. The only thing this single was missing was a gorgeous pop-ballad a la IN THE AIR.

I've never found Kuu's interludes to be anything to write home about, but the ~sunset time~ one from 4 TIMES was golden

So yeah... this is definitely the strongest single since her comeback, but it doesn't quite live up to the greatness of 4TIMES.

[ladyluthien]

I am loving Kuu on that back cover. I hope I can look that good after having a baby!!!
So I have a quick question regarding the 12 singles Kuu did, I am in the hunt to buy them all, and all I can seem to find for a reasonable price are the Korean versions. Well I noticed the Korean versions have a silver sticker on the front, does that come off?
Thanks!
My favorite song off Summer Trip is still Touchdown, I love those heavy beats

[pimenta]

I still don't get why putting useless interludes in the singles... I totally ignore their existence lol

Korean CDs always have that sticker, it's an indication that the CD is original and not a bootleg. It's usually placed on top of the jewel case, so it's probably possible to remove it, but not easy, in all Korean CDs I own the stickers are really well glued... You could also simply replace the cases...

Thanks Pimenta! I really appreciate the response. I received Candy in the mail and the sticker is right on the cover, not the CD case. I wouldn't mind the sticker if it was on the case but having it on the booklet cover kind of irks me LOL I'm going to be gentle and see if I can work it off.

I am just loving this photo shoot for summer trip. Kuu looks ******* amazing!!!

[jean-baptiste]

^Same here. It seems like it's always the songs I like least that get promoted most.

[marty]

I can't believe this single'll sell less than Koishikute, it's madness, for me Koishikute was so boring (first Kuu ballad I couldn't enjoy no matter what)
Oh, and that back cover just killed me, omg Kuu, where am I supposed to look, everything is so hot, how can you make me so embarassed to look at a pictures, your bodyyyy!!!

[inthezone]

lol we are back to debut days

[happiholic★]

Back cover is hotness. Love it. I really like this single overall. The covers were to die for. I LOVE Touch Down and Is This Trap? I don't hate Lalalalala, and even though the interludes were kinda fail, I did enjoy the info. Plus, I really love the Touch Down PV. Its basic, like the song, but the simplicity of both are kinda cool, especially with Kuu's big personality. I think her attitude is what really drives the song.

[jyujiw]

God, this single is perfect for the summer and the Interludes are funny, not actual music but they never were that good in maxi singles tbh xD

Thanks Mother Kuu.

[George]

That back cover is hot!

[Minttulatte]

I really don't mind how much Summer Trip sells, for me the songs are the most important.

Guys, is it true that ayu, Kuu, Namie and Kana will all be on Music Fair in August? A friend just tweeted me that
