[Koda Kumi] The 183rd Koda Kumi - The Artist - thread

[Corvina]

I have a hard time imagining those three rumours coming out yesterday out of the blue was just coincidence.
Guess the truth behind all those is, that she's working on an album. They probably really had a meeting about it this week. Sometimes I really believe, avex is fuling rumours like those on purpose, just like with Shhh! e.g.

kaled is right, her tracklist infos already had typos and songs, that are collabs, but aren't labled as such. And Cupcake is already official named on the The Artist release.
And I already was surprised they left AKLO out.

My guess is that both of the last rumours could be right. The last one could acutally be the planned album with working titles until everything is recorded and done.
The demos both fit her current style. And man, if that album is true, it's going to offer so much, this would be great. (Just Promise you directly after Cupcake? Hell no)
Let's wait and see.

You, and me, and her, must be joking

LOL. Love it.

The rumors are definitely a bit laughable. The "answer" album looked pretty badass, but I don't think it's all that common for track listing and covers to leak before an announcement. Like someone else said, the fact that rumors are surfacing most likely means something's on it's way.

B Howard still a nobody, as much as Omarion, but what I'm saying is that the fact that the songs has vocals of somebody else (I forgot to mention House Party, which also has vocals from somebody else) it doesn't mean that they will have their name there as a feat.

I'm not really trusting any of those rumours, to be honest. But at least the one that did this one actually tried to do something that it could be true, with demo songs from PD and all. I wasn't believing the Shhh single as well, and it was true, and we actually got the previews from instagram, so who knows. haha

yeah but Omarion had some Hits with his Group B2K and had a hit with Ice Box!
Howard B doesn't seem like someone who is even signed to a label lmao
and the "feature" on House Party is one of her Tour backup singers i believe or it was just still the voice from the original demo...
and CRANK THA BASS didn't listed OVDS as feature also like some other collabos ok live releases in the past.
thats why i don't get ur point guys...

still really think all rumours are fake still proven otherwise...
like that supposed tracklist leak (even i believed) before WOML wich never saw the day of light...
sure we have some rumours like Namies leaked FEEL tracklist that went true...
but that doesn't mean after 1 true rumour the next is also true...

but it's not even that hard to know she has an album coming this year after 2 BEST's and billion fc posts about hitting the studio...
and it's kinda usual that when 1 release rumour appears the next rumour isn't far away...

so let's see what will happen in the end...

I'd be surprised with a new album this year.
With the single collection tour I actually thought, there won't be another album till next year and a new tour.
And I guess I'm not the only one.
She is kind of unpredictable since last year and this is a good thing.

[Gubsi]

^that's true but with her you never know...
but i wouldn't be surprised, if we get an album in november or december this year tbh

[kaled kalil]

Looking around on PD's soundcloud page I got some things about the last tracklist (I was bored, btw):

Million dollar$ probably is Million Bucks
Silent Heart Shot probably is Silent Heart
Not My Hero probably is Not Your Hero
Unstoppable Dance probably is Unstoppable
UnLove Story probably is UnLove You

Till the world goes cold might be Till The World Makes Sense Again
Runner might be Run Things

Poltergeist
You & Me & Her

So yeah, I think the one who did it was just going on their soundcloud and got inspired... haha
I still wish she would record Blackout, it's one of my favorites demos.

[Isicio]

I would like to see a japanese production album, maybe some western producer (not PD) and not much more, I don't like Poltergeist and You & Me & Her, she have better songs in her discography, if she will choose some PD tracks must be the better tracks.

On another topic, does anyone have an UHQ pic of the feel my mind cover? I was looking for something like 2000px wide or more through google but only came across a scan and not that wide

The resolution is wonky since I'm on my phone but this is what Ben Dodson's iTunes Album Art Finder came up with:

[kaled kalil]

Talking about demo songs and stuff, I found the original version of Passing By, with only B. Howard. It's kinda bad tho. haha

Well yeah, the song is unlistenable as it is with him and Ku both; take out Ku and it's a downright torture device.

Oh Gosh... I TRULY don't like B. Howard's voice hahahaha I do like the rnb beats on the back of the song tho, and I admire Kuu for seeing potential in this song

[kaled kalil]

I'm back again with another video. haha

If Million dollar$/bucks a real song for Kumi, the song is already released by a girl group:



This just makes it feel more and more fake.

[Gustavopc]

^ At least that's a good song now Well, Can We Go Back happened, and there was also that Mirotic x Under My Skin thing, so this could happen again The song fits Kuu so i can see it happening (tho I still don't believe in the rumour where this song came from)

[a❤martian]

I think B. Howard is a minor, like super minor, singer in Japan. He's "famous" for the fact that he sounds like Michael Jackson. Japan LOVES MJ. I think it was one of his largest (and craziest) fanbases back in the day.

Can we ALL just agree to stop acknowledging it? If you acknowledge, it keeps coming back. I think we should just leave that-whose-name-we-do-not-speak to its obscurity and pray that it is lost to the shadows forevermore.

I, personally, don't hate B. Howard. He's only ruined one mediocre Kuu song, trying to make his way in the world.

Also, I was just explaining who he was, as his relevancy came into question. Don't single me out as the only person who mentioned his name.

[maze]

I love Passing by, the performance at Dejavu Tour is everything!

btw I like that poltergeist demo and I can totally see kuu's voice in it, but to be honest I hope she'll bring us something new (new sounds) for her next album, Shhh! is already a good sign. I mean she already tried something different with Walk Of My Life, I hope she doesn't stick in this style

[thinkingoutloud89]

Passing by is awsome
