The Kumi Koda Singles Rate, Pt. 1 [winner revealed]

Recommended Posts

As much as I love JUICY, does anyone else think the "here's my new single... it's four songs!" releases are a tad cheap and messy? :rip:

 

I know this is ancient history, getting mad about a J-pop practice from 20 years ago but nnn. Maybe I'm just pressed Ayu's July 1st never got the video it would've as a standalone release...

Absolutely not, at least for Kuu's case! Kuu's 4A side singles "4 hot wave" and "4 TIMES" are iconic and each song has a PV. I need another 4A side single for her 25th anniversary next year.

Where each 4 Hot Wave song got a video, I think that kinda makes up for it, but calling it a single is a bit of a stretch :deadbanana4: Like, that's a full-on EP now, Miss Kumiko!

5. Shake It

1Tb8yaj.png

8.55

 

misonos: romiskes, AMIT, UrMom, Fevesy, Britneyfan09 (10); Kyle-x, D.D.D. (9,5)
Newtsters: Maresia (4)

 

To me, this is her quintessential song (not necessarily the best one, but the one that reflect her ~artistry~ the most). The lyrics are quite delicious, too, and she wrote them herself! The entire girls〜Selfish〜 project was interesting, and while it didn't even hit top 10, it made sense for her to release a DVD single since she relies on the visuals a lot. The lebanese vibes in the video, whew.

 

Kyle-x: "We can't lie and say the video didn't eat everyone up."
getinthezone: "would be a 10 if it was not for the dance break"
Fevesy: "The secret ~FIRST CLASS LIMITED LIVE~ live performance when she grabs the male dancers crotch and simulates fellatio.. oh that's when my sister was about that life"
AMIT: "one of her hottest songs, doesn't get better than a grimy bop like this"
Graves: "So like, it's a fun sex bop with the campest, corniest interlude I might've ever heard. I'm torn, girls. Do I love or hate it?"

It's more the fact that A and H were released before the CD+DVD format came into fashion because & and L were triple a-sides that all got music videos since they could do a CD+DVD with the album (and the single for L). Also H was one of 6 singles she released in the span of a year (while recording 2 albums) while also doing a stadium and arena tour that year so the triple a-side made the single lucrative to buy for fans when she might not have had time to shoot videos between all of her projects

4. Crazy 4 U

8.69

 

misonos: @romiskes, @confide in me (11); AMIT, UrMom, Meloetta Carey, D.D.D. (10)
Newtsters: Maresia (6)

 

A bop. No particular tea for this one, except for the fact that it was used in an anime series named Gilgamesh, and maybe that somehow led to the creation of this character. No idea.

 

Kyle-x: "She had to come up with something quick, the rebrand serve arrived. Y'all should check out the b-side and remix on this single, both are excellent."
AMIT: "the hottest she's ever looked in an MV?"
Graves: "Lmao this is song is so stupid yet so cool. Queen of multitudes."
poki: "She did this for the kinky ladies."

3. ECSTASY

8.91

 

misonos: romiskes, Curaga, Kyle-x, AMIT, UrMom, Fevesy, Britneyfan09, D.D.D., Invisibility, poki (10)
Newtsters: Maresia (6); Meloetta Carey (6.38); Galaxy (6.5)

 

She might not have written this one, but it managed to resonate with people either way. An interesting number, I think I used to hate it, but it's grown on me. Also, here we have the biggest gap between songs on one single here (tied with Physical thing). Oops.

 

Curaga: "Talk about a grower: I originally had this at a 6, probably due to listening fatigue since it's near the end of the list, but this is a hit and in my top 10!"
Kyle-x: "10 The true star of "3 SPLASH" whew. Bring back fun autotune!"
Fevesy: "Was in the running for my 11, aged super well"
Graves: "Bit of unconventional structure to this one, and blaring sirens in a pop song always herald great servitude I fear."
Invisibility: "She did this for the popper ladies. Easily one of her best productions because, as much as I love when she gets all up in your face, the bubbling riffs underneath the choruses are delicioouus."
