Im shocked of how good is ayu doin with her chinese tour-dates. She's really a powerful asian name
I wonder if we will be blessed with a new album in the future-next years

Why is so hard to find anything on how Namie is doing.

 

She's giving Natalia Imbruglia down

Finally!!!

 

Praying this is good. 

 

Ayu-mama is truly the most beautiful woman in the world. 

 

Mother serving us a medieval gospel rock opera and getting ready to burn some wigs at the stake. Oh don't end the other rock chicks like that!

The Kumi Koda Singles Rate, Pt. 2 ~Budget Edition~

 

After rating what many consider to be Kumiko's better part of her career, we're entering the 10s, which started off well but some career highs like the JAPONESQUE were followed by baffling sonical decisions. When it comes to the singles, while the previous rate was strictly about canonical physical singles, the 10s saw the rise of digital singles, for better or worse, so what we will be evaluating is a mix of physical, digital and promo singles (for example, Megumi no Hito, EX TAPE, Shhh!) that almost completely represent Kumiko's endevors in the 10s and 20s, as the cover albums and the seasonal albums had no proper singles. In order not to bloat the selection, certain promo singles were omitted. Some may be daunted by the recreation of the 12 singles with Re(cord), but let's respect her creative vision and give the songs the scores that they deserve. The participants will be allowed to use 2 0s for us to better differentiate between the cremes and the rabble.

 

Rules:

1. Rate each song from the list on the scale from 1 to 10. Using decimals is allowed.
2. You may give one song you adore a score of 11 and two songs you detest a score of 0.
3. Send your scores to me using the PM-friendly list below.
4. Feel free to leave comments next to your scores.
5. The deadline for the rate is April 20.

People better recognize Suki de for an excellent ballad it is.

 

 

Kuu announced her upcoming arena tour and previewed a new song. Sounds like an anthem already tbh.

A visionary (if we ignore the recycled cover)

 

 

When a song is so good even Akina wanted the onigiri reheated within the same year

 

 

 

This classic turns a year today
