Although Koda Kumi’s Gossip Candy was supposed to be predicted to have pretty good songs and has a really good cover but after hearing reviews, I really agree with people’s opinion that the songs aren’t worth listening too.
Don’t believe me, listen here:

Alright now, I wish I could talk to Kuu personally. What is she thinking with this single? I just previewed all the songs, except for “Lollipop”, and they suck.1.”Inside Fishbowl” – High-pitched annoyingness. “Mary, mary…” …calm that down Kuu-chan
2.”Outside Fishbowl” – A low-pitched version of the “Inside”. I mean like looooow-pitched. I know Kuu has this unique deep voice, but this song unflatters it.
3. “Lollipop” – Nasty. Screams dirty Koda.
4.”For You” – The ballad of the single. Unfortunately, it’s no “Moon Crying” or “Stay With Me”
5.”Got To Be Real” – Needs to “get real”. No, Koda Kumi. It was fine for those like 20 seconds of a Pepsi cm, but, if you can’t do it better than the original, don’t do it at all.
I love Koda Kumi, but I just want to smack the people who presented these songs to her.
2010 is not turning very good so far for Koda Kumi. Can We Go Back? wasn’t such a good single and the Universe album…well, nothing beats Kingdom. Wish she would just release another song like Ecstasy or TABOO, Last Angel etc.
Normally, her autumn/winter songs are better:
2006: Juicy
2007: LAST ANGEL
2008: TABOO
2009: Physical Thing
You’re just being anal. The previews sound AMAZING! Like every other Koda Kumi single, this one’s BOUND to be awesome. Don’t say it isn’t worth it from hearing previews. You can’t tell an album by 30 seconds of clips. Look how many people say bad things when previewing an album or movie, but then it ends up being great.
Hey, it’d better be! Because these are HQ, if they were LQ, I would wait with anticipation but from hearing each of them, I’m quite disappointed compared to last year’s 3 SPLASH.
Ugh I hate this layout she does for singles. The Inside/Outside Fishbowl thing is soooooo stupid(although I prefer Inside to Outside ;D).
Lollipop sounds gross and For You bores the hell out of me.
Oh and first time I’ve heard Got To Be Real. Didn’t know it was a cover of that song. D= Jebus Kuu… -o-
It’s a BIG disappointment, I would have been impressed with something like JUICY or ECSTASY again.

I wish she had put Inside as the first track and Outside as the last track… but I think a lot of Koda Kumi’s material is a matter of personal preference. Basically I don’t use Koda Kumi’s music as a reference for outstanding musical talent… basically if I feel like I can either a. work out to her song or b. fall asleep to ballad I’m happy
EXTREMELY disappointed. Looking back at her past singles from this time of year, its just sad. I think she should drop the triple a-side bull crap because it feels like she’s in a desperate rush to put out another suck-tastic album. Take a break, Kuu!!!!
