Kingdom [Jacket C] Customer Reviews

A friend just gave me this album as a birthday present which she bought from right here, Cd Japan. After being incredibly disapointed with her last two albums Black Cherry and Best Second Session, in which the only songs I'd liked were You, Love Goes Like, Regret, Koi No Tsubomi and Ningyo Hime This album seemed SO much better to me. It has alot more low tempo songs that really make this album easy to listen to as compared to the non stop ero kawaii dance track albums she's made in the past. Best songs on here hands down would have to be Anytime, Aishou, Last Angel~Feat. Tohoshinki, wonderland and Ai No Uta. Songs on here I immediately didn't like were Under, Amai Wana and the full version of Black Cherry. The songs But and Freaky were only okay for me. But they did feature new styles not previously heard before and better vocals then I'm used to hearing from Ku. If Your looking for something different from Koda Kumi and not just some racey follow up to Black Cherry then buy this. I feel like it expresses Ku's preferences in music more and who she is as a person, reminding you that she is more a lover of R&B and Soul and not just something exotic to listen to or watch.

Everybody was talking about this release, so of course I had to get a copy and see for myself. I like it, but I definitely think Black Cherry was better. Kingdom has many good tracks and I overall enjoy this release, but there are songs I always skip. "LAST ANGEL" is my least favorite song here, I just can't stand how Dong Bang Shin Ki's boys sing, their voices don't go together with Kumi's. There are some other weaker songs too, but then there are some really stylish tracks I love to pieces (like "BUT", "FREAKY" and "Amai Wana"). Still, I recommend this album. It has variety of styles and definitely something for everyone and her strong voice in both dance songs and ballads shouldn't be overlooked. It's just a matter of personal taste if you enjoy the whole release or not.

i think this is the besty album of all koda kumi album's i like the other albums aswell but this has more of a pop, rock and r'n'b feel to it i still love the song from this album Last Angel

Long awaited Koda Kumi's 6th Album finaly on sale! I should admit that it's not only her BEST album so far, BUT also one of the BEST music CD's I've ever heard. All songs are Very High quality, really Great composed and belongs to many different genres. Album cover & photosession made for Kingdom truly stunning, Kumi looks really Georgeous! It's definetley worth every cent, which I've paid for all three editions. Also, First Press poster is very beautiful too!

Excellent album in every single way ! The non-single tracks are all more than just ok, ''Amai Wana'', ''Himitsu'', ''Under'', ''MORE'' and ''Black Cherry'' are my favorites. Definitevely a long step forward for Kumi after Black Cherry, which was very good too but it lacked a little in the non-singles tracks.
