I love Kumi and her agressive and provocative style.

The 12 single strategy against what I have thinked is working very well.

Besides the whole idea of the PV narrating and history is really good, I enjoy so much with those.

Title: Re: (Artist) Koda Kumi
Post by: Linus on January 22, 2006, 03:57:00 PM
It was expected and it will be done. All 12 singles that Koda Kumi has been releasing in 12 weeks will be on a second best compilation titled Second Session. There’ll be three different editions. One will be CD Onlye; second one will be CD+DVD (the 12 PVs); and the third one will be the CD, +DVD, + a second DVD with BEST 1 songs live from her latest tour. OH MY GOD.

Yes, it seems like she doesn't wear anything but there are still 5 singles to release.
Have you heard Peabo Bryson's version of that bonus track earlier?

Koda Kumi was cool when she first appreared on scene. I like the song 1000 no kotoba which was the theme song for FFX-2. After that she pretty much turned into Japanese L'il Kim. Sex sells but being a singer your music has to song good too.
Title: Re: (Artist) Koda Kumi
Post by: Tanier on February 01, 2006, 11:18:39 PM
I think her music is really good. imo i don't think all her music is lil kim after all she does "sing"

and this is off the subject but i thought its funny that your name is i_love_jpop  :bounce:

I totally love this idea of 12 singles per week. It sounded iffy in the beginning, but most of the songs are awesome!  :w00t:

I love the whole storyline she sorta has in the pvs and those guys are hot!! Hot guys plus a mighty sexy Koda PLUS awesome music. Can't complain.

But where does Someday fit in here?
Title: Re: (Artist) Koda Kumi
Post by: yurinachan on February 09, 2006, 07:50:56 AM
I feel sorry for the hardcore Koda fans who bought all 12 singles and then find out they be all on her second Best of album. Just to make sure Koda's fans need to spend even more money, there are 3 different versions of it.
Title: Re: (Artist) Koda Kumi
Post by: chocolate on February 10, 2006, 05:35:54 PM
Yes but those who buy singles get this. Only 2 singles more and it's ready.

She doesn't act sexy, she acts like a slut. :(
That's kind of sad, she really doesn't need to do that to be a good singer.

Had to dig the thread from 3rd page :x

Koda Kumi's releasing a four(!!!) A-side single "4 hot wave(人魚姫/With your smile/I'll be there/JUICY)" AND first photobook "MAROC" on 2006/07/26!

Single description from CDJapan: New maxi-single release from Kumi Koda includes four tracks! Features the rockin' sound of track "Ningyohime," the aggressive dance tune "With your simle," mid-tempo summer song "I'll be there," and hardcore R&B track "Gem CEREY". <- I'm pretty they made a mistake, because Gem Cerey is a jewelry brand Kumi's advertising, so the last track title is JUICY. Also, every track's gonna have a PV. Gotta love them A-sides! XD

First photobook "MAROC" banner:
(http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/9927/060525kouda9fe.jpg)

Kumiko also took home 3 MTV VMA Japan awards: Best Female Video & Best Video of the Year for "Butterfly" and "Best buzzAsia Japan" for "Trust you". She's totally unstoppable lol

btw what's with the kanji trend in J-pop, are the traditonal characters back in fashion?! First Amuro with "Ningyo" and now Koda with "Ningyohime" XD

The four a-sides are available at jpopsuki. I have just istened to them, and had a big dissapointment (I expected it to be a lot better). Here I go with my mini-review...

The songs aren't anywhere near the goodness of the 12 previous singles and Koi no Tsubomi. Only one arrangement is good and looks to have been worked out hard: With your smile, the dance a-side. It's a very good song, and the only one I'd save out of the four. Maybe I'd save JUICY too. It's like a typical R&B Kumi song, but a little US-ish. You'll notice what I mean when you'll listen to it. Ningyohime looks like one of those Ayu werid rock songs that are worth nothing. It seems that AVEX can't pull out decent rock music on their pop artists. And finally, there is I'll be there. The song is good, but it is very generic, very very generic. It's mid-tempo summer-ish poprock. Good to be on an album, but not enough to be an a-side, I think.

12 singles have been released on BEST~second session~ on 2006/03/08, so it's been 4 months already :P

And I'd assume only "Koi no Tsubomi" will make it on the new album for sure, since last time Ayu released a quadraple(sp?) A-side single, last track was left out, however, with Kumiko they might want to squeeze more money from fans with less efforts, since more single track = less filler songs, so who knows :rolleyes:

Apparently, Koda Kumi just broke the record for female artist's DVD sales with her secret ~FIRST CLASS LIMITED LIVE~, outselling Utada Hikaru's BOHEMIAN SUMMER 2000. Kumi's concert sold 33,656 copies while Hikki's *only* 33,001. Congrats~

I even sensed some sort of sexuality between sweaty Kuu and a bottle.:yep:

^ I found it very subtle tbh :P

I also noticed that the label on the bottle reads 'IMUKADOK', which is, Koda Kumi spelled backwards. So I wonder if she is implying that she likes licking herself? :shock:

I think she's a closet Komuro Tetsuya fan (TK also likes to spell his name backwards, hence his OMUROK label) :P

I'll be there -PV

When you see it once you'll notice it always. When Kuu is lifting a book it looks like she has a hole in her left hand. :shock:
Otherwise it's so beautiful PV but I miss Kuu dancing instead just walking and sitting as it's hot afternoon and that way she would be sweating more. :drool:

Ningyo Hime -PV

If Rika watches Kuu's Ningyo-hime PV she might want to try Kuu's haircut including feathers. :shocked:
Otherwise I really liked it although it's so dark and unhappy PV.

Koda Kumi's concert Live Tour 2005 -first things- that was released as 3rd DVD for Best -second session- album limited edition is getting a solo release. Entitled -deluxe edition-, it's going to include extra footage of album release party, opening footage and making-of video. Limited edition will also have a 12-page booklet, and it's apparently lower priced (2500yen, while regular press is 2980yen, unless it's a mistake of CDJapan).

Pre-order:

I seriously read that somewhere :o But I'm always semi-joking, and meh, I don't know (or can't remember) if it was that trustable source... Personally, I can understand why, since girls think of her as a daring woman who is not afraid to expose etc, and for the gay thing, aren't Madonna and Kylie loved by them too? :confused: Anyhow, why not :O

Don't know about the gay guy part, but the girl part's definitely right.
The girls here just idolize her, and copy her hairstyle like they did a few years ago with Ayumi and Namie. And seriously, it's damn hard to find a girl 15~25 who isn't a fan.

My source: Well, I teach at an all girl private senior High School ( 900 girls aged 15~18 ), and music is one of the main topics of conversation.

but as she is so famous, probably it was not one of her best, as she must have some very good ones...

maybe I can become a fan too..  >.<

I liked the song also and a PV containing her wet black panties can't be bad. She's a panty goddess. :pimp:

"Cherry Girl" has seriously become like, my favourite Kuu song in a friggin long time.  (And I have a pretty decent size list of those.)  It stands out, imho, amoung nearly all her recent releases with a slight southern rock feel and awesome vocals.

I so cannot wait for her new album. :heart:   (I'm new btw!)

^ Welcome, yokoso! :heart: And yes, I agree! Watched the PV finally last night and the song actually stood out to me more than the actual video! XD LOL (which is pretty crazy, considering what Kumi does in some of her videos... :o) But I am totally digging her more "rock-ish" style these days^^ I'm hoping we can hear more songs like this on her Black Cherry album! :heart:

Post by: StreakInTheSky on November 22, 2006, 03:46:15 AM
The song was interesting at first then just gets really boring and repetative. The only thing I really liked about the PV was her outfit. Also I like the pantsu shots and bottle down the skirt...
Title: Re: (Artist) Koda Kumi

^ I don't know why but I seriously laughed out loud when I read that! lol

wakaba >> Thanks for the welcome!  I enjoyed the video (of course!) but the song really hit me for some reason.  I absolutely cannot wait until her new album.. I rarely preorder but this time I actually did *__*;;;;  Looking forward to hearing the rest of her new material (on the album!)

Gosh...I wish I liked Koda Kumi XD

Every time I give her music a try, i end up hating it XD I fell like she trys to sing in a style simmilar to Amuro Namie but constantly fails miserably XD. I decided since Won't be long was so popular I'd try and listen to it, but I think it's terrible, she sounds like a women who's smoked for half her life and Cherry Girl is weak in so many ways. I thik the way she dances actually makes her look desperate.

I dunno...I just wish I could like her XD The covers for that new single look absolutly beautiful though :heart:

Maybe it's just because you feel sick now. If you really want to like Kuu just continue watching her PVs. Then you probably end up hating or liking her. I like her for different reasons than I like Ai Otsuka but there is something I like in her and it's not just that she shows panties in PV. :P

KYAAAAAAAA :ONluvluv1:

Someone please explain to me why the folks over at JPM were hatin so hard on this song?  This absolutely has to be one of my favourite ballads from her so far.  She sounds gorgeous and looks equally so!  I love how she puts so much emotion into the words.. *___*

I don't usually get so excited about albums, especially since so often the album tracks are slack.. but I've fully enjoyed all of her singles this year so far (even including Koi no Tsubumi... anyone who knows me totally knows I don't dig her 'cutesy' songs at all).. egads this is exciting.

The way I see it, most pop is generic.  To be honest, I have yet to hear anything that falls under 'pop' that's even an ounce unique.. for the most part it really is the same rehashed sound over and over.. but hey, I enjoy it! :heart:  H!P, BoA, dream.. hell.. the entire Avex crew for that matter.. it's really all the same cords over and over.  Kuu does what she does well.. and while I could only hope to hear something radically different from previous material, I'm happy just hearing her sing anything well at all that isn't a cover.

(I don't really hear how Cherry Girl sounds like 'Toxic' OR 'Ningyo.' lol)

Honestly I think she looks like any other girl with no makeup~ Not gorgeous, but not really ugly either XD LOL But that's just my opinion~ I think only certain girls look bad without makeup, not all of them

I guess it's same thing with every girl they look better with make-up. :neutral:
I don't remember was it Kuu or her sister but there was a one pic where she looked quite bad but it wasn't that one without make-up. But I like how she looks. Even with blond hair she looks amazing although I didn't like Rika's blond hair.

Black Cherry actually hit #1?? *according to wiki!* Does anyone have the official Oricon rankings/sales numbers? I find that interesting, especially since I didn't think Black Cherry was all that impressive and all of her previous albums never made it to #1 XD
Title: Re: (Artist) Koda Kumi
Post by: aedon on January 08, 2007, 09:20:22 AM
Black Cherry debuted at #1 and sold 502426 copies on the first week of the year. Since New Year's oricon weeks are prolonged, it's actually almost 2 week sales if I'm not wrong... I'm curious how much it'll sell later ^^

^ Wow, that's pretty impressive for Kumi~ Apparently a lot of fans didn't see the album the way I did XD LOL I'm interested to see how it sells later, too, although no doubt it will probably be her best-selling album to date if it debuted at #1! :o

I must admit I got over-Koda'd this year. The 12 singles were awesome, and Koi no Tsubomi pwnd them, which makes it awesomex13. Then the quadruple single was so fucked up, didn't like it too much. The Futari de and the other song with it were acceptable. I loved them, but too much versions made me get bored of it. The last single seems ok on the first listens, but then also fails. Overall, the only Kumi song that is still on my playlist is Koi no Tsubomi. I hope she has a more paused year in 2007 and that she takes out more cutesy :)

I recently got the "Black Cherry" album. I got to admit many of the songs were okay.
Almost the whole album had her previous single in there. Which is not a bad thing but listening to it too much might be.
The songs that I love her from the album are "夢のうた", "Cherry Girl", "運命", "WON'T BE LONG ~Red Cherry Version", and "月と太陽".
It's too bad they didn't have "ふたりで..." in the album.
hmm... I wonder why?

Another BEST album? WTF dude. I'm definetly not buying this shit. I already own her previous BEST albums which I thought was a good buy because I didn't buy the singles and the album also came with a cool DVD.
The new BEST album looks like some random songs where picked from her other albums and thrown in with one or more new songs. What a rip off. And not too long after Black Cherry was released too.
Title: Re: (Artist) Koda Kumi
Post by: Linus on January 26, 2007, 03:32:05 PM
She has had the best management I've seen in all my life. Since her 4th album was a success, then a BEST, and the 12 singles, then a cutesy one, and a BEST with the 12 singles, a 4 a-side single, a new album about to sell a million, and now another BEST. We're on the third year since she's on the spotligh and they keep squeezing her. Amazing.
Title: Re: (Artist) Koda Kumi
Post by: aedon on January 26, 2007, 04:33:56 PM
C'mon guys, everyone knows they're milking Kumi while she's hot. At least they're smart enough to add a new song to make it *worth buying*. It's a limited edition release as well, so it's targeted at die hard fans. I wouldn't buy it even if I was one, but oh well. The cover looks yummy anyway XD

With all the decreasing sales avex just goes for easiest way to make munneys - best of compilations, no big deal ^^;

Super HOT album cover.  Of course I had to breakdown and buy it. ;;;;  I swear.. Kuu fans should def be able to write off these crazy purchases as a deductable this tax season. lol

I really do love her ballads though.. I'm hoping this picks off some tracks from her first three albums (as I don't own them ^^;;;; and really have no interest to).  The concept of a ballad (best) packaged with music videos of her dance tracks is.. interesting.

I don't know... Koda's becoming so predictable lately XD I love the song, but the PV is just standard to me. Like the PV for Shake It combined with obvious Ayu influences (have to agree with you there, aedon)

I wonder if Koda knows that pretending to be a lesbian is so 2002 (t.A.T.u. anyone?) :lol:

lol venus razor .. how old is she ?

Kumi is 24 yrs old.

you guys should listen to her new single "BUT/ aishou."
"BUT" is an electronica disco type of song which i describe more as a dance number.

"aishou" which i like more, probably because i dig Kuu's ballads or slow songs A LOT!
It is a slow rockish song with a kind of dark feel to it.
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

Several tabloid newspapers published a story yesterday saying that SMAP leader Nakai Masahiro (34) is dating sexy singer Koda Kumi (24). Management agencies for both stars refused to comment on the story, saying it was a private matter. The report coincided with the revelation that Koda had broken up with her long-term boyfriend earlier in the year. The relationship, which Koda made no attempt to hide, started before she made her breakthrough and became the country's top-selling artist. The couple were last photographed together in December. But her extreme work schedule and his move to Osaka in May of last year put a heavy strain on their relationship. The 10-year age gap aside, the media would have a field day with a romance between Koda and Nakai. But with Johnny's Jimusho controlling every aspect of its stars' lives, it may be a while before the truth is out.

Quote from: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCD-45766
New single release from Kumi Koda featuring hit Korean artists DongBangSinKi. Lead track "Last Angel" appears as the image song for the upcoming release of film "Resident Evil III," and features gorgeous chorus work over an edgy dance number. Also includes B-side "Dear Family" plus alternate versions of both tracks.

That's some major tie-up I must say... and I guess all DBSK fangirls are supposed to adore Kumiko now lulz

Popular Japanese songstress Kumi Koda has gotten into hot water by commenting on a radio program that she would like to have a child before she turns 35, “when women turn 35, their amniotic fluid goes rotten.” Koda committed the gaffe on the popular late night radio show “All Night Nippon,” when the host asked her if she was planning to have children.

Her remarks sparked an uproar among listeners prompting an apology by Koda, and her production company has canceled a number of her upcoming appearances apparently as punishment.  (http://japundit.com/archives/2008/02/04/7785/)

A tad harsh if you ask me  :?

So its like, umm, well, 3, nah, more like when you turn 35, ummm, the amniotic fluid rots right? (laugh)
That's why, really (laugh). It starts becoming dirty right?. That's why, if I can, I'd like to have children before 35, that's what I was talking about" [translated by orochicloud@AHS]

I can understand why people would be offended at this remark, especially the female audience (and especially women in their 30s or close to approaching their 30s). I'm not surprised that she'd get suspended for a month. Some people on certain forums were all "WAAH IT WAS JUST A JOKE WHY R AVEX SO ST00PID IF THIS HAPPNED IN TEH US SHE'D BE OK BUT JAPAN IS DOINKY". However, I feel that those sorts of "jokes" should be kept in private and not said in a public venue like a radio show. Honestly, if a celebrity here said something like that in the U.S., it would offend people too.

Kumi also made a public apology about the "rotten fluids":

Reactions to Koda's apology
Fri, February 8, 2008 (9:31pm EST)
On Thursday, Kumi Koda appeared in an exclusive interview on Fuji TV's "FNN Super News" to apologize for a remark she made on "All Night Nippon" last week. She had stated that "when women turn 35, their amniotic fluid goes rotten," leading to many angry reactions from the public.

During Thursday's interview, she attempted to explain her comment and tearfully apologized for the harm she caused.

Not everyone was convinced, however. An informal poll taken after the broadcast through Sankei Sports' website indicated that 81% of the viewers felt the apology was insufficient, while only 9% said it was enough. Fuji TV later announced that by midnight on Thursday, it had received almost 300 phone calls about the broadcast. About a third of them carried heavy criticism, such as saying that Koda's apology felt insincere. Only 9 of the callers defended the singer.

According to Video Research Ltd., Koda's appearance did not boost ratings. Her apology drew ratings of 10.1%, the same as the average for the show's second half.

Wada: Koda wants to delay tour
Sun, February 10, 2008 (2:54am EST)
Singer Kumi Koda has been turning to respected celebrity Akiko Wada for advice about the "rotten womb" scandal, it was learned on Saturday. Wada says that for the past few days, she has been talking to the pop star over the phone about the matter.

According to Wada, Koda has been reflecting deeply on the incident. Currently, she wants to postpone her upcoming tour (which is slated to start on April 12), as she feels that it would be too soon to resume her activities.

An Avex representative said that the company is hoping to persuade Koda to proceed with the tour as planned. With 16 concerts scheduled, even a postponement could cost Avex several hundred million yen.

It all seems like a mockery to me now.

^ The world charts don't mean shit!! Just because something ranks #1 (9 JPop artists hit #1 last year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number-one_albums_of_2007_%28World%29)), doesn't mean they are even known outside Japan.



People are quick to blame the Japanese public for over-reacting, for the media for blowing it out of proportion, and all that, but seriously, if anyone knew this type of shit would happen like it has, it's a Japanese person.. Koda fuckin' should have know better, and now she's paying the price for it..

And remember when I said it looks like she is finally losing the slutty image, you can bet on it now!!  :D

Kumi Koda's first overseas concerts

Sun, July 12, 2009 (2:57am EDT)

Kumi Koda (26) will finally hold her first overseas concerts later this year. Koda, who is currently one of the biggest names in pop in Japan, is also known throughout the rest of Asia as a top artist. So she will have her chance to perform for her international fans on October 3-4, at the National Taiwan University.

Koda made her CD debut in 2000 with the song "Take Back," which also got a U.S. release. Starting with that, she has been aiming to becoming an international artist, and has even appeared at events in other countries, including the U.S. and Korea. Surprisingly, though, she has never actually held a concert outside Japan before her upcoming shows in Taiwan. In addition, this will be her first trip to that country.

With roughly 10,000 fans expected to attend the concerts, Koda is said to be preparing a large-scale production, similar to her performances in Japan. Her most recent tour involved about 200 staff members and a budget of about 80 million yen. But Koda stated that she is also looking to make her first Taiwan concerts special in some way.

When I heard the previews at first time, I wasn't very hopeful...they didn't sounded as great as Ecstasy was (my favorite track from the last summer single) but Gossip Candy has pretty cool songs, worth of the skanky Kuu-chan that made me fall in love with her music years ago.

Koda Kumi with new Lollipop PV!~

Sexy pop diva Koda Kumi is approaching the 10th anniversary of her major debut. For her 47th single Gossip Candy, Kumi takes on her biggest challenge as a vocalist, delivering two variations of the same song.See inside for more!

Inside Fishbowl is a fun dance song that requires Kumi to sing in a light, peppy manner. Meanwhile, Outside Fishbowl comes with a new arrangement, new lyrics, and a lowered key, lending the song a darker rock flavor. The single also comes with the sexy dance song Lollipop and the ballad For You.

Pop star Kumi Koda, 28, is set to celebrate the 10th anniversary of her debut this December with the release of a new photobook. The book, titled “Brazil,” will be released in early December to coincide with Koda’s 10th anniversary concert at Tokyo Dome on Dec 5. The concert will mark 10 years since she emerged into the mainstream with her break out hit “Marco.”

The 168-page photobook was shot in early September in Brazil and involved 22 costume changes. Koda said of the shoot that she was aiming for a bewitching and, as always, more grown up image this time around. “I think there are some impressive shots in this collection,” she said. “I’m really pleased when people see the book and then say they’d like to visit Brazil.”

“Brazil” will be released by Wani Books on Dec 6 and is priced at 3,000 yen.

Hi, was wondering if anyone got any new news about koda kumi as this thread hasn't been updated since december of last year. I know that she released her Japonesque album and a few remixes after that.
