Black Cherry [Jacket A / w/ 2DVD, Limited Edition] Customer Reviews

BUY IT NOW! It's such a good album, but it while you can 'cause it's a limited edition one...I won't tell you how good it is 'cause you must hear it or watch it to appreciate the real worth of it,

Black Cherry is one of Kumi's most versatile works yet. There are beautiful ballads, rock songs, pop tunes, and one of her best introductions ever (which was made into the full track "Black Cherry" for her Kingdom album). The bonus tracks are catchy, and Won't Be Long ~Red Cherry Version~ is specially pretty, with Kumi singing all the song by herself. The first DVD features all the PVs released for this album, plus one of Twinkle featuring SHOW, which is an amazing song! The second DVD features the one-episode drama "Cherry Girl". It is a very entertaining short story, but unfortunately carries no subtitles. However it is very easy to understand the story, and it is very nice to watch. The BGM includes songs from the album as well. A definitely great album that should not be missed!

I love the cover it is awesome!!! The music is great since it includes Juicy, Ningyo Hime, Get Up & Move!!, Cherry Girl, With Your Smile and the ballads Yume no Uta and Candle Light. Not a big fan of WHILE IT IS AVAILABLE!!!!

koda 5th album is great! i really enjoy listening to this limited 3cds edition. Album contains such hits like "juicy", "wont be long" and much more! trully recomend that cd

I really don't know what to say about this album, to me, it was kind of a disappointment; or maybe I need to spend more than two months trying to find out does Black Cherry strikes me, and it doesn't. My Favorite Tracks: Ningyo Hime Yume No Uta Koi No Tsubomi JUICY Cherry Girl Black Cherry doesn't have that umph! that all the albums before Black Cherry, or maybe I'm just crazy according to all the other reviews. I hope that Kingdom is far better than this. But I would still recommend if you're a Kuu-chan fan.

I'm one of Kuu-chan's newers fans and I love this album a lot!! every single song is special, I personally like: Tsuki to Taiyou, Candle Light and With your smile. And as I heard in her early works her voice was kinda weird but it has matured and now sounds great. About dvds, all the pvs are totally awesome and some may say she's looks like a s*** but for me she's just a singer with her own style knowing what she's doing and how to make her fanboys happier xD and wahhh I'd like to know japanese to understand the drama and the photobook too. Kuu-chan we're waiting for Kingdom!!

She did it, yes, she did it again! She made AWESOME album, on which every song is a BIG hit! I think it's my favouite KUU's album so far! Before it was BEST ~second session~, BUT Black Cherry beat it for me. There's my favourite ballad ever - Yume no Uta, it's simply georgeous! BUT except it, there's much MORE other awesome songs in different music styles: R&B, Pop, Rock , like I'll be there, Cherry Girl, Unmei, Koi no Tsubomi, JUICY, WON'T BE LONG ~Black Cherry Version~ & etc. In this edition, there's not only one DVD with adorable PV's BUT also first Koda Kumi movie - Cherry Girl!! It's very fun comedy/drama/action. KUU did it even in her movie - combiend so many styles, like in album! I advice you to buy this edition 'cause of fun Cherry Girl Movie, just don't expect very much from the movie and you'll like it. Only one thing dissapoined me in this edition, that Cherry Girl Movie doesn't carry any subtitles & it's also impossible to find them online... P.S.: Album sales for today is almost 1 500 000 copies!! Also 90% of the songs are the main themes for TV & Movies.

Koda Kumi is the best singer! She is amazing on this cd! My favorite songs are Juicy, Cherry Girl and Koi no Tsubomi! The videos for them are amazing too!

I mean it, my feet won't stop tapping while listening to this CD... I admit, I'm biased when it comes to Kumi's music, not sure why, just am. But this album I believe blows the first two BEST albums out of the water, it's got everything a music lover could want, your slow songs, your rock-y types, your pop and your soul... Another must have from Kumi Koda!

I love this album because it has all kinds of styles of Kumi's music. And the fact that she wrote the lyrics AND music for Tsuki to Taiyo. Im so happy I finally have the album. The music videos are great! The photos on the inside and out are beautiful. Now all I have to wait for is the Black Cherry Arena Tour dvd

I truly think "Black Cherry" is a step up from her previous albums. For the longest time, Kumi never really had her spot in the limelight. Now, she finally has her chance, selling over 1.4 million copies of this studio album. Most of the songs are pretty good, but I personally recommend (ranked): 1. Yume no Uta 2. Unmei 3. Cherry Girl 4. JUICY 5. WON'T BE LONG ~Red Cherry Version~ 6. Get Up & Move!! 7. Ningyo-hime 8. I'll be there 9. With your smile

This showed everyone how Koda can do it big even without the word "BEST", this album is amazing and so are the videos and the dorama! She showed to everyone that she has a real talent and can capture you with her music, this album is a very cheerfull one, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Barely a month after launching her fifth studio album, <i>Black Cherry</i>, she announced that she would release three projects in March: A new single, a compilation album and a concert tour DVD. Unlike her past sexy covers, Kumi has gone for a covered-up, black widow look for <i>Black Cherry</i>. But the fans don't seem to mind. More than 920,000 copies of the album sold in Japan within a month and hogged the topspot on the Oricon chart for four consecutive weeks. But her top-selling album yet is last year's <i>Best-Second Session</i>. It has sold a staggering 1.76 million copies in Japan to become the best-selling female album last year. Kumi herself seems satisfied with her achievements. She told <i>Oricon Style</i> magazine: "This is my sixth year in showbiz and also the year that I've grown the most."

I was hesitant about this one at first cuz I'd heard some negative feedback, but the more I listen to it the more I love it. I don't get those people out there who diss her voice and want to compare her to Ayumi. Two different artist and styles and Ku's really works in this album. Juicy does get a little slutty, but if you pay attention you'll see that was the point. She was seducing the guys to steel there map. So if you don't like it hit the fast-forward.

I LOVE this album I cannot get enough of it! There a lot of songs that I love on here and my favorite has to be Cherry Girl or Juicy! Nevermind all of them are my favorite. I liked the fact that there were a lot of music videos on the the 1st DVD. The drama was okay though, I think with a little practice she could be a very good actress. The fighting made me laugh because when looking at it I thought I was looking at a Japanese version of Charlies Angles. lol This is a must buy!

Hail to fans who wanna buy this album....I listen to all the tracks in the album..well I should say Kumi is pretty n sexy, but I guess it a bit too much...N what is gd is her sexy dance moves, other than that, her voice is just so-so... Consider Ayumi....she may not be a gd dancer, but her voice has proven her worth...N her MTV r a great feast to watch..big production too.....Koda, pls know when to STOP..Too much revealin is not necessary a gd thing...

This has to be Kuu's best album so far! Each one of the songs is catchy and her vocals are amazing. Plus she is one of the hottest female vocalists in Japan and the videos show her beauty. This is also one of the best albums released in 2006 and I'm looking foward to her future work. It's a must have for all Kuu fans.

Worst album I've ever bought. I've been a Ku fan for 4 years, but really...this would make most (non-baist) true fans turn against her. Just really bad songs, scratchy -n- nasly vocals, and really revealing and over-the-top sexual pvs. The movie is also horrible, focusing mainly on making Ku look sexy. Just a disaster. :( never will buy another Ku product ever again.

Me ugsto mucho este album tiene muchas canciones diferentes aunque de las nuevas solamente me gustaron 2 aunque las otras no estan tan mal

Friends have advised me to avoid Koda, as she's so commercial... but honestly, have you heard this CD ? 18 tracks, yes 18 tracks on the audio CD!!! Wow I am blown away. This is one of the best produced, power packed and well arranged CD's I have heard in a very long time. I am now a very interested to see what else the dynamic songbird is going to deliver. The DVDs that come with it are very good, well, the PV Dvds.. the little 50minute movie is somewhat lame but hey, who cares :) Enjoy.
