[Koda Kumi] The 152nd Thread - Beach Mix + New Single TBA

[Gustavopc]

Oh I'm surprised Kuu co-composed some of the Beach mix songs! All the ones in which she collaborated are between my favourites from the album. Bring us another self-composed song on the next album, please Kuu <3

Thanks for posting those scans, Corvina! You can see her belly in some of the pics hahahaha <3

A new single, in the midst of having a child? Wow...and it's supposed to be an upbeat song? I hope it's ero-kakkoi style!

The search function won't work for some reason. Sorry to ask, I've seen it mentioned before ^^;

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^What do you mean "studio quality version"? I can upload the PV if you like...or it can be downloaded here at JPS:

Like a release on iTunes or CD. The CD version is a little different, and I've read the iTunes version is different too. So I wondered if any other digital site sold the song like it is in the PV, like a better quality than the PV rip.

I don't want the PV, but thanks anyway! ^_^

[Gustavopc]

^ As far as I know, there is the CD version [which is equal to the iTunes one] and the PV one, but I've not seen a studio version for the PV one

[Delicious n Bold]

^That does justice to GTTT more than the 30 second snipped. I am interest.

[happiholic★]

I'm in love with GTTT. I want to hear MOAR.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Ah I haven't heard it yet, thanks for sharing that

[Benikari47]

Hmmm.. not sure if i like GTTT as much as i thought i would judging by the longer preview. It never really takes off or keeps me interested. The build up to the chorus is the best part, but then meh..

[Minttulatte]

Go to the top will be the next single then. I was thinking it might be so actually. Kuu usually releases her tie-in songs as singles anyway. I'm so gonna love this single. A upbeat song and a acoustic song together is a total win for me. XD

And I'm finally listening to Beach Mix. I had no time because I got so into K-pop and Utada Hikaru. Then I had to go on a small trip to meet my friend and I didn't take my laptop with me there so I haven't been able to come here at all lately, hehe. It was fun to come here and see 5 new pages in this thread lol. And yes, as expected, I adore Beach Mix.

Is there a gallery or something with all the pictures and photoshoots of Kuu?

[kaled kalil]

^ KumiLoveS has a good gallery, not works well here because of the server, but it has a lot of good scans.

[Ayu_Love]

Yeah, you have to be a member but it's worth it, since Kumiloves has just about every picture of kuu almost ever.

[ahtka-chan]

Changing the subject, has Kumi ever talked about (in an interview or smth) about real Emotion/1000 words & FF X-2? I wonder if she has ever watched the game intro and her thoughts about it.

I saw the japanese opening, and well, Kumi's husky voice doesn't fit Yuna hahaha

[ren'ai]

^she provided the motion capture for real Emotion opening sequence if I remember right xD I'm sure she's seen it! That was the single that brought her a lot of attention

[ahtka-chan]

^Oh, I see! I searched a little and also found out that Kumi was the model of Lenne and provided her voice as well! I didn't know that! There's this video of the scene where Lenne is dubbed by Kumi:



Lenne is kinda important in the story but she just really appears in the end of the game

Yes, I was always really pleased knowing that Lenne was modelled and voiced after Kuu because I am a huge fan of X and X-2. Although I'll admit X-2 seemed to be more for the girl fans of Final Fantasy, I really enjoyed the dresspheres as well. But that's cause I am a sucker for pretty costumes.

EDIT: Oh yes, here is the link to my mediafire folder with all the Kuu instrumentals I have (songs that don't have official instrumentals), which I have got from Utauga, M-karaoke, and ClubDAM. http://www.mediafire.com/?a7vny0ud904rs
If there is one you'd like that isn't there, let me know and I'll see if I have it somewhere!

^ That vid is so cool! I wish she would do more high-profile voice overs..
