Viola 386 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 This Week Features Artist of the Week Koda Kumi Kumiko KÃ…da (ç¥Å¾Ã§â€° ä¾â€ 未å KÃ…da Kumiko), born November 13, 1982), better known by her stage name Kumi Koda (倖ç‰ ä¾â€ 未 KÃ…da Kumi), is a Japanese singer from Kyoto, known for her urban and R&B songs. Having debuted in 2000 with the single "Take Back", Koda gained fame for her seventh single, "Real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba", the songs of which were used as themes for the video game Final Fantasy X-2. Her popularity grew with the release of her fourth studio album Secret (2005), her sixteenth single "Butterfly" (2005), and her first greatest hits album Best: First Things (2005), reaching the number-three, number-two and number-one spot respectively. Though her early releases presented a conservative, quiet image, since as early as 2003 Koda has adopted a s-xier and more provocative style. Because of this image, she has become a fashion leader among young women, setting trends such as the ero-kakkoii style. She has also won many fashion awards such as, the "Best Jeanist Award" and the title of "Nail Queen" yearly since 2006. Since the rise in her popularity, Koda has lent her face and songs to many advertisements. In 2006 and 2007, Oricon named Koda as the top selling artist of the year.Jonathan Ross has called her the Christina Aguilera of Japan, while many also compare her career to that of Britney Spears. Koda has sold more than 15 million physical records in Japan alone, making her the 18th best selling solo Japanese female artist of all-time. http://youtu.be/susgh5Rst48 Album of the Week Bi Rain - Rain Effect Rain Effect is the sixth studio album by South Korean entertainer Rain.

Luhan 1 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 They came to the US(2NE1) (and I got to see them) so hopefully they'll at least tour outside of just asia they were in London in November and they know they have fans here.. If you think about it doesn't it make more sense to expand outside of Asia? It spreads your coverage as well as advertises the group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
