Koda Kumi - Someday

Koda Kumi - Someday (26.8MB, for PSP/Quicktime)

This is the song that is currently sitting on No.3 position in the top 10 Oricon Weekly Chart just after Hyde's Season's Call and Utada Hikaru's Keep Tryin'. This is an unusual video clip because it features 3 young Japanese actors: Takashi Tsukamoto (Shinji Mimura in Battle Royale), Shugo Oshinari (Takuma Aoi in Battle Royale 2), and Shogen. This PV seems to be a continuation of Koda's previous PVs: "You", "Feel", and "Lies". According to this site, the other 3 PVs basically show the life of 3 friends and the women in their life (all played by Koda Kumi). The men are played by Takashi Tsukamoto in "You", Shugo Oshinari in "Feel", and Shogen in "Lies". When the PVs are combined together, they look like a short film. In this PV, the stories come together and form a conclusion for the 3 men and women in the story. Anyway, I think the song is quite nice to listen to so give it a try. Also, if you're interested, here are the other singles in the top 10 chart:

Kanji/Kana version

また出会ったら一緒に笑いあいたい
そんな日が来るのを待っているからね
宝物だから

巡り巡る日々の意味は
ちゃんとあるんだね
あなたとの出会いも
そしてこれからもそう
どうなるかはきっと
誰かが決めるんじゃない
自分で未来に向かって歩いていく

何気ないあなたからの一言で
そんなことでふたりは
離れてしまったけれども
お互い今も強く想う

赤く染まる私の鼻を可愛いと言う
あなたに出会えて本当に嬉しく思う
たくさんのあなたとのアルバム達もメールも
大切な私の宝物だから

過ごした時間はそんなに長くはない
けれどふたりの深さは計りきれない
ただ過ぎ行く思い出
そんな風に出来ない
あなたとの時間は何にも変えられない

いつかまたどこかで
出会ったとしたならば
笑顔で話せるように
いい恋をしてまたいつか
新しい私をみてほしい

髪型を変えても気づいてくれなかったけど
あなたに出会えて本当に嬉しく思う
嫉妬しても怒らないで抱きしめてくれてた
そんな優しかったあなたでした

あなたと聴いた曲あなたの香りも癖も
あなたと見た空もあなたと歩いた道も

また出会ったら一緒に笑いあいたい
そんな日が来るのを待っているからね

赤く染まる私の鼻を可愛いと言う
あなたに出会えて本当に嬉しく思う
たくさんのあなたとのアルバム達もメールも
大切な私の宝物だから

Romaji version

Mata deattara issho ni warai aitai
Sonna hi ga kuru no wo matte iru kara ne
Takaramono dakara

Meguri meguru hibi no
Imi wa chanto arun da ne
Anata to no deai mo
Soshite kore kara mo sou
Dou naru ka wa kitto
Dare ka ga kimerun ja nai
Jibun de mirai ni mukatte aruiteiku

Nanigenai anata kara no
Hitokoto de sonna koto de futari wa
Hanarete shimatta keredo mo
Otagai ima mo tsuyoku omou

Akaku somaru watashi no hana wo kawaii to iu
Anata ni deaete hontou ni ureshiku omou
Takusan no anata to no arubamu-tachi mo me-ru mo
Taisetsuna watashi no takaramono dakara

Sugokushita jikan wa sonna ni nagaku wa nai
Keredo futari no fukasa wa hakari kirenai
Tada sugiiku omoide
Sonna fuu ni dekinai
Anata to no jikan wa nani ni mo kaerarenai

Itsuka mata doko ka de

Egao de hanaseru you ni
Ii koi wo shite mata itsuka
Atarashii watashi wo mite hoshii

Kamigata wo kaete mo kidzuite kurenakatta kedo

Anata to mita sora mo, anata to aruita michi mo

Mata deattara issho ni warai aitai

Anata ni deaete hontou ni ureshiku omou
Takusan no anata to no arubamu-tachi mo me-ru mo
Taisetsuna watashi no takaramono dakara

I wish Koda Kumi was a woman in my life :(

I should probably lisen to more of her music outside of the 2 Cutie Honey themes...

wildarmsheero, if you like Ms Kumi, I'll recommend:

1. Butterfly (the PV has to be seen to be believed)
2. Real Emotion (that Final Fantasy X theme)
3. No Regret (the PV is nothing special but the song is quite nice)

Her songs can be a bit hit and miss. But in general, she produces some good songs. I'll probably feature Butterfly one of these days because that PV is quite an eye-opener. :D

Thanks! I'll be sure to check those out!

I think I've actually downloaded the Butterfly PV once, but I don't really remember the song that well. Maybe I should watch it again.

I haven't listened to Koda Kumi for quite some time. My fave songs of hers were those from FFX. I kinda lost interest in her when I got introduced to Nakashima Mika. ^^;

Thanks for sharing the PV! I'm a Tsukamoto Takashi fan, which is actually the reason why I downloaded it. *lol*

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's a good song and all but I think we all know that she only did the pv so she could have an all-you-can-eat buffet of beefcake. Lucky little...ngh grumble.

Koda Kumi is one of the best J-Pop singers that I have ever heard. I originally came across her music by accident, mainly because I am a major gamer and anime fan. So far I have heard about two dozen or so of her songs. Here are some song titles I recommend:

Take Back
To Be One
Switch (w/Heartsdales and Lisa)
Hot Stuff (w/KM Markit)
Candy (w/Mr. Blistah)
Come with Me
Love Across the Ocean
Chase
DDD(w/Soulhead)
