[Koda Kumi] The 155th Thread – New Single 「恋しくて」 (12.26)

[maze]

can't believe people here are not liking koishikute. I keep listening to it (and sakura nagashi) on my stereo at full volume and I'm in heaven. stay with me, suki de, suki de, suki de and ai wo tomenaide haven't had the same effect on me tbh. koishikute is her best ballad a-side since moon crying imo.

kuu and hikki made my winter with their ballads lol. can't wait for Alone!


lame tie-up:

i think suki dex3 was absolute perfection, though anata dake ga surpasses it by far. koishikute just feels pretty meh, like it's one of those ballads that's so very pretty but it never really leaves a mark.

i thought moon crying was pretty, too but.. idk XD i'm also weird because i think no way is the best song she's ever done evaaahhh.

you guys just gave me the idea to make a kuu winter ballad playlist to blast at work, since they're already playing xmas music 8|

I don't get all the hate for Moon Crying. This song is epic. One of the very few songs that actually made me cry.

[maze]

^ MTE. of course it depends on taste, but kuu+piano is always a win for me.

I updated the schedule in the main post

[happiholic★]

I don't like Koishikute not do I like Moon Crying. Both are horridly boring. As I've said, the only generic Kuu ballad that I like is Ai no Uta.

[Not Fade Away]

^I agree, and I think part of the reason I like Ai no Uta is because everyone spazzes when she starts singing it during her lives, lol.

I prefer her mid-tempo ballads like No Way and Okay.

[chikocchi]

I really liked "stay with me" but then she kept releasing winter ballad after winter ballad "Suki de, Suki de, Suki de.", "Ai wo Temenaide", and now "Koishikute" that's it's boring

[emi♡]

I liked Moon Crying. Koishikute just kind of reminds me of a watered down version of Suki de. Which I did like.

I'm not huge on ballads though, and I do like them to be catchy when I hear them. Koishikute isn't for me.


I do very much appreciate the piano though. I love piano ballads and I'm glad she does them...I just don't like this one.

I don't remember ai wo tomato either. But I think I did like stay with me...

[Minttulatte]

I always end up worship the ballads that people seem to hate. Seriously. Ai no Uta, Moon Crying, stay with me, Ai wo tomenaide and Koishikute are all definitely on my top 10 favorite ballads (Suki de x3, Kiseki and Promise as the top 3 of course). Kuu's winter ballads kick ass every year. Gosh, I can't get into the winter mood without those~

Again we feel the same=)

I abolutely adore Koishikute, Suki dex3, Moon Crying and Ai no Uta.

Ai no Kotoba, Promise and hands are awesome, too!

stay with me and Ai wo tomenaide are okay( I love them during the christmas time).

I think her ballad singles are extremely emotional, honest and somehow cute

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I love Stay with me. I've loved it since it was released. But that song is much catchier, imo.

Ai no Uta, though, I've always been so so on. It just sounds...whiney to me. Moon Crying I liked at the time of release. Ai wo Tomenaide is good. you, Yume no Uta are Gods.

[Gustavopc]

I'm a ballad stan. I love/like/adore all her balladas but Kiseki. Top three is hands, you and come back, but I also love ai no kotoba, Promise, Suki de and No Way.

[setsuka]

Suki de is my least favourite single by her, Koishikute is pretty but tbh I ain't replaying as much as AWT or any other past ballads tho I remember dropping Moon Crying pretty quick, I think the last one I completely loved was Stay With Me

its just there, I like but not love

her best ballads are her older ones or the ones on the album,

Aitakute >>>>>>>>>Suki De

Brave>>>>>>>>>> AWT

waits for her next album to have a ballad that will slay this one

[Twinkle !]

Moon crying is E P I C . the lyrics the music and melody it makes me cry ;__;

[Benikari47]

I've never been crazy about Kuu's winter ballads, they all seem so similar and dry to me. Koishikute is nice but i forgot about it after 3 days.
Yume No Uta, You & Sukix3/Anata Dake Ga are great. Stay With Me & Ai Wo Tomenaide are passable at times, i don't really care for Moon Crying or.. yeah well, sadly Koishikute now too. I think Ai No Uta is the only one i dislike though

Mind that i still have to listen to her discography before Best Second Session, so there might be some gems there.

Awww, this is lovely! But I have this horrible fear it's going to just blend together into one big ballad-mess like most of her stuff does. Which is so weird because I think they're GORGEOUS, but they don't stick out. ;w; Clearly the one remedy for this is to listen to more Kuu.

[Minttulatte]

Somehow I get a feeling they won't release Premium Night DVD with her next album at all. Somehow I feel that it's gonna be a separate release somewhere in January/February 2013 (I can hope so 8D).
