yay, only 2 more days for Physical thing.
i'm glad they're airing them ahead of the release unlike for 3 SPLASH for which they only aired Lick me.

[Corvina]

Yay for the PVs!

It was mean of them if no one told them hello.

I remember that when BoA went to avex for the first time she told that when she met ayu she said hello to her and she was really happy about it. ^^

Awww, that's too bad! I know Ayu and Kumi have spoken once before... But it would be so awesome to see them hang out outside of work! I'm a big fan of both ladies so them being friends would be soooooooooo awesome to me

You know for some reason I always thought Kumi was a little bit darker than most Japanese women! But you're right, her tan is nice.

[Lee^ChaN]

Alive (wedding dress.. again?)

damn!! can't wait for both PV now!!

[NintendoHTF1242]

Both the PV and song are...okay. Nothing special, but nothing terrible either.

[Polyrhythm]

Is it just me or is this like the best cover of Moon Crying ever? (yeah I know its old)

Spoiler:

[do it again]

that girl is actually really good at covering kumi's songs, she's done a bunch. her TABOO cover was awful though, which makes me think it's a pretty hard to sing while dancing... so i can excuse some of kuu's crappy performances.

[Celaphorce]

Okay either I'm dumb, or no one else knew about it...but I've had Trick CD+2DVD for about 2 months and today I found out that the making of's for the pv's are on there...did anyone else besides me not know this???

[do it again]

yes they're there! the making of dirty ballroom is also on the second DVD when you click on the nose.

i love the making of show girl and they look like they had so much fun shooting JUST THE WAY YOU ARE. also, TABOO would've been so much better if they didn't do so much editing and made it all dark... the sets looked great the way they were.

[waterballoon]

You should watch the making for 'stay with me'! When those little kids screamed and waved at her, and she waved back... aww! I love the part where she lost here balance on her heels and almost fell too! XD

I just wanted to remind to everyone what Koda said herself in that documentary about her sister Misono...

After all the difficulty of actually debuting, as you all know, it took her a long time to actually become well known. It was Koda's dream since she was a little girl to become a singer and despite Misono never cradling that same dream, out of nowhere, Koda said she was surprised, Misono did so and went for it. Seeing how well Misono was doing with Day After Tomorrow, even winning Newcomer of the Year at the JGDA, she said that seeing the success of her sister, she was happy but at the same time sad. "How can I achieve the same success?" She had noticed how involved Misono was with her work, lives, dressing, etc and that motivated Koda to do the same.

She went into more but basically if it hadn't been for Misono, Koda Kumi would not be Koda Kumi. So I think we should all appreciate her more and not bash her so much.

[RikkuChii]

Oh, really?

Well, misono ain't bad, I guess..but still.

She's nothing like my Kumi Kuu.

I agree that Kumi is more talented, but the way people bash her (not necessarily in this thread), I have to admit I've been surprised when she's been at the top of like "Most Desired Women" Oricon polls (cause I don't think she's that cute) but sometimes they're just too mean! I mean, a lot of people on this forum love Koda so they should appreciate who helped her get there.

Interestingly, Koda also mentioned that she feels that Misono has a better pitch than her and that her lives are of CD quality.

[do it again]

that's nice that misono inspired kumi to persevere with her career. it's also good that there is no rivalry between them, especially since both of them experienced highs when the other experienced lows in their careers.

they seem to have a good relationship, but i'd rather it not lead to more collaborations in the future... their music styles are so different and what came out as a result was something i really did not like.
