Loved her ever since she sang the theme song to Final Fantasy X. I look forward to her latest release. Should be as fun to listen to as always. Highly entertaining singer. Oh, and the fact that she's DAMN sexy doesn't hurt, either.

She's always looked a mess, so why break the habits of a lifetime. Give me Kaela Kimura anyday.

She has only a few songs worth listening to. Unfortunately, she seems to cultivate a trashy type of image. I do think she has some talent, she just doesn't seem to use it very well.

Not to mention smash hits like "Dovey love tub," "Love is love is love," "Lovtastic love," and the timeless classic "When loving lovers love, it's LOVE"! WOW!

If that's an OIRAN「花魁」then I'm the Miko from the jinjya. What she's wearing is nowhere near a real Oiran custome. She looks more like a 娼婦 to me. Want to get a taste of what Oiran is? Watch the movie SAKURAN さくらんwith Tsuchiya Anna.

KK is hot mess. This is a good example of what NOT to make your career like. She'll bare all soon if she hasn't already. Anything to make a name for herself.
I learned something about myself this year from these women. I don't like the letter K.

Why do crappy women have names that start with K?

When does Kumi Koda ever wear a non-sexy costume?

OMG, who on earth made that up? This is so ugly and so ridiculous. It should be forbidden to use the term 'oiran' for that travesty.

Good question, WilliB, but I can't detect anything sexy in this appearance.

Oiran were high class rich prostitutes. Koda Kumi doesn't have a clue what she is trying to portray. Whoever is dressing her up got mixed the old Oiran houses with the modern soaplands for sure.

The album title is correctly Japonesque, not that I'll be buying it.

black undies would have been more " classic ", this pukey pink is just cheap and nasty...................but then that's the look she wants to achieve. LOL

She has to try harder because she is not naturally beautiful like Nakashima Mika or Kimura Kaera. Artistic though cliche' photo nonetheless.

Her and "oiran" divn't mix. Even if she dresses like a real oiran, her!

Kumi Koda, 29,
She's inching closer to the "dirty womb" age.

@BlueWitch - Thanks for the info!
"Love Me Back"
There are cases where love is not returned. Sad.

Romeo, I think she's going to regret ever saying that when she gets old, isn't married and has no kids.
Not a fan of her but I'd take her over Hamasaki any day! She was a fat kid, was bullied and has chatted about that. Not exactly a 'rolemodel" but probably the closest Japan will get in terms of someone in the entertainment business when it comes to the issues of growing up and not being kawaiiiiii like the annoying girls of AKB and Morning Musume and the like.

While I don't like Koda Kumi's personality, particularly with regard some of her past comments, the woman CAN dance, and has a pretty good looking body. I'd never buy her music, though.

Happen she shouldn't worn Western or contemporay underwear. She is actually nice, but her looks like a cavalier in the picture. Very wrong sort of class for a lass.

I heard she would get married with bandman. I don't understand what she is thinking. Something strange and something desperate feeling. Don't you think so?

......she looks like a creepy pin up in a playboy magazine... personally im not a fan of what shes wearing or how shes poseing.. the light doesnt compliment certain features. the undergarments she's wearing could have been diffrent but still given her a faint classy look. personally i give it a 6 out of 10 ....just cause im bound to see this in a bunch of 'adult' picture sites

dude, stop hating. i think the album covers gorgeous. She's got talent, a unique voice, and she's beautiful too. Her songs are also really good.
