[Koda Kumi] The 148th Thread - [Driving Hit's 4]

(It's not supposed -to be- a panda, in the same way that Koda Kuma is a bear, but rather the name came from the way the eyes look, which resemble a panda, apparently. Or that's the impression I've been under for all these years xD)

New music sounds great to me! I love Kuus summer releases, and it would be a nice surprise if we got something this year... :-\

I've warmed to the cute ones with smiles - like the bunny one from AT10 (come on you can't say that thing isn't effing cute, lol)

I died !!!!

but they are everyday wear. not a kind of classic geo lenses/circle lenses that you buy & wear 6 months or a year, but a more healthier type of lenses.
I think Kuu's aiming at natural effect, rather then kawainess. avex has Ayu for other type of lenses lol

natural looking lenses will have sucess both among gyaru (mature onee-gyaru love them more than circle lenses, circle lenses are for younger type, mainly) and just usual buyers, so I think it's super wise to have them like this!

Ayu aims at the young and Kuu aims at mature audience

and, honestly, I like Kuu's editorial pics and lenses more. I dunno about their quality, but the 'package' is just much more appealing to me

the pictures are so so stunning!

[clover_bali]

ayu with Sweet Days and Kuu with her contact lens... WOW !!!! SO WOW WOW !!!!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I think the silky beige is really pretty.

I believe it says the lenses designs were actually created with a copy of Kuu's real eyes? like the design of her retina...? Which is the first time it's ever been done.

[ayu_ready?]

Midnight umber is supposedly a 'copy' of a Kuu's eye, as stated on the site

[waterballoon]

***** is fierce and beautiful

Agreed! I had a feeling Kuu would probably do more natural ones! I think the name is 'Loveil', not 'Loveli'.

Took the images from the website:





She looks gorgeous as always! She should make her own make-up brand or something, I could definitely see Kuu doing that!

[daybreak123]

Kuu looks so fantastic in the photos! I like the contact lenses as well, it's pretty cool if they're supposed to be a copy of Kuu's eyes. I like how they look so natural, really big and unnatural ones creep me out tbh.. /shiver

[ayu_ready?]

it's cool that they're circle lens yet 14.2 & looking so natural & beautiful!

thanks, Ayu_Love, for the pics, any idea of what they say there?

[Ayu_Love]

^You're welcome! Fraid not. ): I can understand a little bit of romaji but so far I only know the letter for 'no' in Japanese hahaha. Hopefully someone on here might be able to translate it for us though.

Kinda tempted to do a tutorial of her make-up here though.

[ayu_ready?]

it's like a everyday natural brown smokey eye
I found Kuu make-up to be the best out of all Japanese artists like for-ever

[AyuHamasaki01]

She looks beautiful in those pictures~ Love her hair!

Yeah she's brilliant at the smokey eye make-up. I must learn her secret! It sometimes hard to tell if she is wearing false lashes or not...Cause sometimes she doesn't wear them and other times I think they are natural lashes. Her eyebrows are always perfect, too. <3

[love in music]

gorgeous pictures! i love that the lenses don't look creepy or unnatural like they tend to look on a lot of asian women.

[ren'ai]

Omfg <3 Love those pics.

I adore her makeup too I think she started wearing false lashes a lot the past few years, in 2005-2007 she mostly just had a lot of mascara on. Is it weird that I want her to have darker eyebrows? lol
