Her old stuff was just promoting sex and more sex then she got all cute and soft. It isn't that bad plus she over did with her newest ablum TRICK. I think all artists so get up on a better or wide range of sounds and styles an its good to be versatile. So this was a good article to mean even you said she was a nobody I learned something new because I am a fan Square Enix, so I look to more Kumi News.

But as far as her singing not being as important as her image, I have to disagree. True, she's not modest even in the slightest (though here in American she's probably seen as a saint, whereas girls in and out of music videos wear clothing so skimpy you can practically see their private areas) but her voice still measures farther than her appearence. Where some of you say that's how people know her, that's not necessarily true. For instance, my friends and myself know her as one of the greatest singers of the era who always has really cool nails in her videos. XD But anywho. This CD is a great CD, and since it did begin her sucess, I say: Yay. ^^ Ah, personally, I found out about Kuu thanks to her m•a•z•e album, and, true then, she was a lot more modest.

Sure, they don't get as high sales as her, but since they're concentrating on their singing rather than their image, they can create higher quality music. Besides, I don't think it's worth having high record sales at the expense of my dignity. Anyways, I'm really disappinted that Kumi is the way now. She was just about my first favorite major J-pop singer when I heard her song "1000 no Kobata" back a year ago. @Clementine:

I'm happy for her success and it seems she really deserved it. Even if her image isn't so great, she's got to do what she's got to do to keep up her career and get noticed. She has a gift. It would've been a shame if she couldn't continue to sing. Kumi has great talent though. I’m happy for her success and it seems she really deserved it.

Its true. Like Juicy, Cutie Honey, Cherry Girl (I think is the name of it, ;) ) she is just waaay too provocative. and I think sometimes "hold up, this is supposed to be in japan, arent they timid people?" and yes. So Iv noticed that too. I saw the live concert version of Cutie Honey, and all she is doing is dancing half-naked with these other hot chicks up there, and i noticed that her vocals were slipping on the s trongest points of the song. So, what they should do, is cover her up a little bit, and give her some more practice on her singing. Have you SEEN KISEKI!?!?! the PV for Kiseki? Its a very mellow and nice song, even for her vocals (rinoa...) and she ends up messing it up with the music video by doing provocative positions ON A ROCK! if you notice, omg, its hilarious! she is wearing these far-out clothes, and really just, i dont know. Im a guy, i love the way she looks. But i also belive women should respect themselves more thou. She should be more classy, atleast a little bit more with how she dresses. That is why i love hitomi, there is a distinct beauty in her. But back to kumiko, her vocals have potential. but Avex seems to be squandering it. And you were also right rinoa, the first time i heard of her, WAS in FFX-2. I remember seeing the music video, i was like "OMG! KUMI IS YUNA!!!" lol. And yes, that was also back in the day when i did the transition from a gamer to jpop lover! i love this blog! keep up da good work! yea, i love this blog too, omg. Its true.

Three best albums in such a short time span and those 12 singles personally led avex to promote Kumi on her image rather than her talent. She has the vocals but people just know her because she's always posing these provocative photographs. A pretty sad direction for Koda Kumi indeed.

The way she is marketed now makes a lot of people think that she has no talent and is nothing more than gimmick, although the strength of the single really makes one wonder about the singer she might've become, had she not pushed the ero-kakkoi image too far.
