Music video: Kumi Koda - Lick me ♥

I'm genuinely surprised by both the song and video. Based on the title "Lick me ♥" this was not what I thought Kumi would roll out with. When I saw the bowling alley and ice cream parlour I was on stand-by for her to show us what she can do with a bunch of ice cream cones, a bowling ball and a rubber glove. But she kept it clean. You could see hints of Kumi wanted to smut the hell out of certain scenes, but she managed to keep it all in check. The video could've done with a couple more setups. The school bus scene in particular got old really quick. But overall this was a nice video.

I'm a sucker for these fun, uptempo, happy-go-lucky Japanese songs, so I'm liking this. The whole vibe reminds me of Ayaka's uptempo's: "Kimi ga iru kara" and "Real voice" in particular which I loved. So Kumi's "Lick me" gets a definite thumbs up from me.
