[Koda Kumi] 203rd Thread - Still celebrating her 20th year

[pedronekoi]

She looks so cute!

Sorry for the off topic question but: I remember I used to have a performance she did for Koi no Tsubomi and BUT in some TV show but can't find it anywhere (even jpopsuki). Was this real? Or am I crazy? lol

Wkkw has been made for this !

I found this TV show with those 2 songs. Is it the one you thought about?

Weekly mu-mo chart is out and the puff shirt is dominating that as well!

So interesting that she sells merchandise so well.
And her fans apparently love oversize style as well as the big sizes sell better.
That's not a good outlook for me to get size S again for the next one.

[Ayu_Love]

^I need to get one of those Puff shirts for myself too, I'm glad they're selling so well!

I was also looking at the Rechoku charts and saw that Kuu's BEST ~Third Universe~ album is at #30 right now!

OMG! Yesss! Now I just need to find where to watch it lol

[Gustavopc]

This has been out for a while but I hadn't seen it before nor recalling it being posted, so here it is. Kuu made a comment on AI's 20th anniversary and it's on her YT.



There are a lot more of those comments from other artists on her website, so cool to see many of those names there.

Plus, AI is releasing a mini album "IT'S ALL ME – Vol.1" , wonder if her collab with Kuu will pop up on a future Vol. 2 or 3 of these.

@pedronekoi I'll upload the live on Google Drive for you, just a sec.

Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17u3...ew?usp=sharing

She was sick and had no idea what the lyrics for BUT was for the second part. lol

The good ol' times. It has been 10 years already, geez.

[KarenPang]

^ still 1 of my favourite Kuu singles from her after all these years

I don't usually buy Kuu's singles but Gossip Candy was 1 of the rare few I made exception for

That and also 3 SPLASH among others

They've just announced the first round of artists for Ongaku no Hi this year and AI is one of them. They're even having a special for Story - would be awesome if Kuu would be announced in the 2nd round and they sing the song together on TV!

-------------------

puff PV had a small jump in views, now reached 100k in 2 days, a plus of about 40k.
Guess Music Fair helped?

[ExodusUK]

Is Puff doing well on the digital charts? I think Kuu's core fanbase prefer the physical singles.

[hud]

I don't care what anyone says - Inside & Outside Fishbowl both aged like fine wine. so glad to watch their PVs in HD on youtube!

[Katsuyuki012]

^I honestly love them. When I first started listening to Kuu, I had no idea what to expect with these titles.... but they are awesome!

[Gustavopc]

I always loved both, hence my tumblr url at that time lol (miss those golden days from tumblr) They have something unique about them, from the title to the sound. A pity she never performed neither of them again.

3 SPLASH time

Lick me ♥



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0X2cBWq0lA

Hashire!



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpWfUeWfVcY



11 years old to 3 SPLASH , damn

[Gustavopc]

Hashire! is such a fun song and I love the music video so much, she was having such a great time while shooting it. And Lick me has grown on me over the years, I got a bit tired of it back then cause she performed the hell out of it at TV and festivals, but it's a high-energy song with a cute vibe, it's really great to listen to it on sunny days. And ECSTASY of course is a banger. Truly a flawless single, even the remixed tracks are great.

[minkAYuko]

^ I feel the same!.

I've never been one of ku's greatest fans I started to follower later in her career (UNIVERSE, DejaVu era) but knew of her around her cutie honey era. I would get into this cringy battles defending ayu over her xD. But Anyway what I'm saying is that I'm enjoying watching all of these videos either for the very first time or with new eyes and new ears if you know what I mean.

Hashire is one of those videos that I never finished to watch and I wasn't fond of ku's cutesie's songs.

[Corvina]

3 SPLASH always was and still is my favourite summer single.
走れ! and ECSTASY are perfect songs for me and Lick me is catchy, too.
Not too mention pretty perfect PVs as well til this date.
BUT e.g. is a song and a PV I can't really dig anymore unless she's singing it live.

Kuu has another performance scheduled on Abema TV.



It's going to be a remote performance in a special stay-at-home programme, airing June 10, 9-11 pm JST.

[jiarongisme]

I really miss when Kuu did concept summer singles. Of course my favourite will always be 4 hot wave but she literally does not have a single bad summer single imo. They're all amazing.

[Marurosu]

Kuu had amazing summer singles!
4 hot wave
FREAKY
3 splash
Gossip Candy

Was Moon a summer single? I don't remember what was the summer single for TRICK, maybe Taboo?
