Kumi Koda can sense the fear in Ayu like a dog. So Kumi has been gracefully heading onto the stages of Music station and CDTV in a range of dresses looking similar to one's Ayu wore back when she was of any relevance to the Japanese economy. Kumi is out there showing Ayu what a chick's gotta do to make sales. RELEASE SINGLES and PROMOTE THAT SHIT! Ayu needs to recognize.
Hit the jump to watch Kumi shade Ayu by wearing a dress much like the one she wore on the cover of her eight studio album Secret.
There were times when Kumi's voice sounded about as stable as Christina Aguilera on a unicycle. Kumi usually walks her ballads through parks and often sounds better than she does on the studio recorded versions. But something was off here.
"Koishikute" is boring. It's the driest ballad Kumi has inflicted on Japan since "Alive". But it's hit number 1 on the Rekochoku daily ranking within spitting distance of Ayu's mini album slumping into the ORICON chart at number 7.
