I'm such a sucker for these dance tracks with funky basslines and happy-go-lucky horns :jonny4:

12. TAKE BACK

xkEPQXl.png

7.97

 

misonos: romiskes, AMIT, Britneyfan09, Subomie, poki, confide in me (10); D.D.D. (9.5)

Newtsters: Galaxy (4)

 

An iconic debut that was supposed to shake the US to the core. Wait, what? Yeah, the song was made with the American audience in mind, while Japan was an afterthought. It's reflected in its rather poor position there. For some reason, avex decided that she shouldn't do any TV performances, though Kumiko herself wanted to do them. Wow, that company sure is something, huh? Well, the song did end up charting on some minor Billboard charts, but it wasn't enough to move the needle for j-pop. Or did she open the door for Exodus?

 

Curaga: "Great instrumental! Not a bad debut at all. Song and video are totally giving First Love–era Utada (specifically Automatic)"

Kyle-x: "Such a good debut single! The remixes of this eat, I ordered the US version of the CD single crammed full with remixes a few years ago whew they don't do it like they used to"

getinthezone: "good debut song"

Graves: "Squiggly synth lines make my brain release hella endorphins."

Kinda crazy they had a Tricky Stewart remix of this song (he produced Case of the Ex by Mya which smashed the same time this was released) and they just sat on it ddd

11. 今すぐ欲しい (Ima Sugu Hoshii aka I Want It Right Now)

8

 

misonos: romiskes, Kyle-x, getinthezone, Fevesy, Subomie, Invisibility (10)

Newtsters: Galaxy (3)

 

A cover of the song by Sugar Soul, which retains the original producer. The rap wasn't present in the original song. It's kinda giving the Japanese Bohemian Rhapsody, I suppose.

 

Kyle-x: "The cover art for this one is so so beautiful. Her little rap on this one eats"

AMIT: "I appreciate the R&Bness of this one much more now than back when I was dance pop twink and she RAPPED here too which not everyone has done or can do"

Meloetta Carey: "I'm tempted to give this a 10, but I've handed out too many at this point"

Graves: "Uh, yes please."

Invisibility: "In a discog full of coochie juiice-dripping jams, this cover is one of Kuu's most sensual ever! She went into the recording booth and made that song hers."

Oh god damn it.
