Music video: Kumi Koda - Shake hip!

We can file the mystery as to what happened to Ayu's music video budget under CASE CLOSED. It doesn't take our homegirl Jessica Fletcher to see that Avex have commissioned Ayu's video budget to Kumi and Namie. The two women at Avex who are managing to hold down some sales at the moment.

After giving birth to her child, Kumi has been hell bent on showing Japan that she can still be a ho in a music video. I will admit that it was nice to see her acting the skank again. But for all of the pussy grabbing and the opening of legs, there wasn't any heart behind the filth. I didn't feel that same passion I felt when she went down on that bottle in the "Juicy" video. And ironically, Kumi came off much sexier in her white chick Stepford wife get up when she wasn't trying to be overtly sexy. Nowadays Kumi ero-power seems to be working in reverse. She gives off more sex when she doesn't try so hard to.

It's a shame that for a song called "Shake hip!" that Kumi wasn't giving much hip. I feel as though Kumi deprived me by not working her waist with a solid three minute whine 'n' twerk fest. Isn't having a child supposed to bestow you with new twerking ability? I'm not sure where I heard that piece of info from, but I'm going to believe it and wonder why on Earth Kumi wasn't able to prove it.

I'll also go on record to say that KAT-TUN's cover of "Shake hip!" is better than Kumi's. Don't come for me.
