TABOO (Japan Version)
2 people found the following helpful
October 23, 2008 great songtaboo is a very koda kumi songs. it's upbeat and danceable. her vocals, as usual, are great.
if you're not going to buy this single just because of the pv... then you're totally ridiculous.
and you're not a true fan of kuu. any true fan of kuu knows that the pv screams koda kumi. it's her image, and she carries it off well. no other artist in japan right now can pull off what she does in her pvs.
koda kumi's been around for almost a decade. even though at the beginning she wasn't this provocative, she was never cutesy like otsuka ai, never cool like boa, or never role model-esque like hamasaki ayumi. she was the tough&sexy r&b girl. in that aspect, kuu was almost (and i stress ALMOST) just like namie amuro. but then she (and her production team) realized that they had to make her different so she'll be successful. so that's when she became all ero-kawaii..
she became FAMOUS for being ero-kawaii.
dear heaven...for ppl who are ranting about the pv...have you ever seen the covers to her singles? in "COME WITH ME" she practically has half her boobs hanging out of the scarf she wrapped around her neck. in "BEST~first things~" her boobs are again hanging out.
but no matter what koda kumi does or wear, no matter how provocative she may be, she has a GREAT VOICE. people can say all sorts of things about her, but no one can argue that her singing voice isn't top-notch.
without a doubt, she's one of the top-5 female voices in japan right now.
and this single rocks because it goes on to show just that. :]Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
