Hi, again.
I'm just blogging here to talk about Koda Kumi, who is my 2nd favorite J-Pop singer after the great Ayu.
I don't really make any references to Kuu in this blog but something happened and I felt that I needed to say something. I actually know about this news a few days ago but only decided to blog today when the news has exploded to big proportions.
So in early February, Kuu jokingly joked (notice how I'm emphasizing on joke.) on a radio programme that her manager who just got married should have children soon as women after the age of 35 have rotting amniotic acids in their wombs. Well, basically this sparked off a controversy in Japan as you know they have aging population (like us!) and their royal family's Princess gave birth after 35. So yah, she apologized but it was not settled and Avex actually deleted her website and terminated all promotions for KINGDOM! Like omg, it's a really bad thing for Kuu! And I watched a video of her apologizing yesterday on youtube and she cried... it's a very sad thing.
Anyway, amniotic acids is like you know in those Channel 8 dramas, when a woman's about to labor, she'll be like, "Wo de yang shui po le!!!" Yeah yang shui = amniotic acids.
So, I just felt unjustified for Kuu! I mean, in the past when she wasn't that popular, her company actually called her 'fat and ugly' then after she was forced to have that sexy image that obviously wasn't too popular in Japan cos they only want cute images... she got popular and people started liking her but disrespecting her.
I mean come on, isn't it OBVIOUS that Kuu doesn't want this sexy image???
Looking at the booklet for BLACK CHERRY, that song, Get Up&Move!!! wasn't written by Kuu and it contained that line "You got me really horny".... she doesn't write such things. But all the other songs that she wrote, they're just really cute and lovely kind of songs...
So, she was stating a fact, cos women after the age of 35 really have harder chances of giving birth to a 100% healthy baby... it's TRUE. I hope Japan will forget and forgive this mistake that Kuu made.
So, whatever it is, I'll still buy KINGDOM!
Anyway, I think I'm defending Kuu so much because I can empathize with her... Yes, I'm just like her when she was not popular... people rejecting and insulting her... I really understands how she feels.
What can I say? Music, no matter what aspect of music, is a rat race.
And rat races suck.
Listened to music @ 10:34 PM
