I didn't think anything of the song until she sang that acapella for that couple. It was so sweet.

Yume no uta all the way but futari's sweet but a bit boring. I think kumi loves to preform futeri more though.

[thinkingoutloud89]

I prefre Futari de...
yume no uta is so...overproduced

[kaled kalil]

I can't choose between those songs, they are both awesome songs for different moments. She should perform Yume no Uta more often...

[Zeke.]

Yume no uta of course! I never listen to futari de... - it's like a watered down children's rhyme version of yume no uta. Although I love the WHOOSH remix.

Yume no uta has all grand spirit of the winter season about it.

Yume no Uta

But, Furari de ~WHOOSH REMIX~ is awesome

You can totally tell she does . That video of her singing it made me a fan of the song.

Why do I feel like 50% of the koda kumi thread is "arguing" (can't find a better word hence the quotation marks) about yume no uta and ai no uta

[Gustavopc]

I love your cover, kaled! From the colors to the extra hair, everything fits so well and feels so much more summerish lol Spectacular job

What's the name of that place ?

[mi|kshake]

Wow, gorgeous cover kaled_kalil! Might have to steal it for when I buy the new tracks from Summer of Love on iTunes.

Question to everyone, which of Kumi's remixes would you recommend I check out?

I love a lot of Ayumi's remixes and know a lot of them but not that familiar with Kuu's. Anything suggestions which are trance-y, chilled out or just any you think are amazing and I need to hear are welcome!

[Gustavopc]

I guess the only trance-ish song from Kuu's is you [Floor On The Intelligence Remix], from Driving Hit's 2. There may be other ballad remixes like it, but none of them are memorable for me... I can share my playlist of Kuu's remixes when I get home, but it consists mostly of electro/fierce songs (any Brazilian here can help me finding a good translation for "farofa/bate-cabelo"? hahahaha). If you're into remixes that add some life to the original songs, you should check Beach Mix. Driving Hits 4 is full of dubstep and DH5 to me is the most consistent, the Let's Party remix on it is deliciously hot.

"hair whip" maybe?
I have no idea in which sense you mean the usage of "farofa" though, I guess here in the south we don't use it in the same way

[kaled kalil]

@adantatu2: Katikies Hotel & Spa in Santorini, Greece.

Thank you guys! Glad you liked it.

@Gustavopc A bate-cabelo song would be high energy and with a strong and heavy beat. haha

@pimenta We use "farofa" here in the south tho, it means generic and with not much inspiration.

Most of her remixes are re-work of the song, usually keeping the whole lyric. Some remixes that I would recommend:
