[Koda Kumi] The 187th Thread - NEW ALBUM COMING SOON

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

(I know no one was necessarily saying this so this isn't aimed at anyone) Budget isn't really the deciding factor in a good video. Time, effort, and a good plot/direction make or break a video. A lot of Kimi's earlier videos are quite good despite not having a lot of money. Although I'd say J-POP videos in general were quite good in the earlier days. There seemed to be more interest in videos... now, despite the AMAZING platform that YouTube provides, J-POP videos are shit compared to 10 years ago. That's a problem...

The style of filming is so different! Do As Infinity had -amazing- photography and ideas being executed in their videos. It's amazing how uninspired videos now are. Sigh.

Actually, "uninspired" is probably the best way I could describe J-POP videos now.

Not only the videos, Jpop as a whole has been uninspired for some time now imo
But that's a whole nother discussion

Guys, I have a question and I hope you can answer me, please.

I want the album package from the FC store (I have an account), but I will not be able to pay it until March 9, do you think I can still buy it for those dates? Or will the package no longer exist after March 8?

There is another part of the ultraviolet PV posted on kuu's facebook and it looks even worse xD

About BRIDGET SONG, I don't understand the hating. The song is beautiful and so is the PV with its simplicity. It's the kind of song and video that makes me happy. This is what I needed from kuu for so long

[indigochild]

BRIDGET SONG is so far the only song I like on inside (or is it outside XD I don't even know lol) I'm a sucker for those feel good tracks that makes me happy

[a❤martian]

I don't even hate Ultaviolet. You wanna talk about shitty dance only videos, I would direct you to Ayu's Lelio PV. The song is good but Ayu's terrible dancing and the cheesy effects. Ugh.

[koumori]

I'm probably just easy to impress, but I found the dancing in Ultraviolet so far really intense and fitting to the song. I liked it

[orbitalaspect]

I kept waiting for the BRIDGET SONG video to cut to "the all the new iPhone 4S featuring an 8MP camera"...

And when you've been watching so much Downton Abbey that you're not sure which part of Koda's hair in ULTRAVIOLET will ring the butler...

I think Koda does "boring" PVs like BRIDGET SONG better than Ayu. And maybe that's not saying much because Koda doesn't have that many PVs where she's just sitting or standing around for four minutes, but I wasn't nearly as bored with BRIDGET SONG as I was with, say, Ayu's crossroad or MOON.

And Koda has obviously been training in dance since WOML. UV is easily the best I've seen her move her body in a PV.

I will wait to watch the Videos until I get my copy of W FACE.
But the Picture I saw of the ULTRAVIOLET style is really nice. I like that hair a lot.

Btw: Did anyone already try to order the valentine's day liqueur or the Betty Boop collaboration clock? I can't find it in the FanClub shop.

The clock is for the 11th anniversary of playroom. So it's only available for.playroom members.
And the liqueur - that's just a guess now, but in most countries shipping liquids isn't allowed, so it's probably not available because of that.
But only the white one is still available on mu-mo anyway, the other one is sold out.

On a random note.
Kuu posted this cute pic with her son a while ago:


As it's available on Rakuten, it's ever since popular among her fans.

And I admit, I've bought one as well. ._.

Ultraviolet and On my way will also be available for preorder from 2/22 onwards.
Her LINE account doesn't say it, but I guess it's digitally.
Both are the lead songs for the albums.

Can't wait to see more of both PVs - and that is one FIERCE magazine cover! But of course, I wouldn't expect anything less coming from Queen Kumi.
