Singer Interview - Koda Kumi

Koda kumi (倖田來未)is seen as the most sexy female singer in Japan. This pic can prove that!

(It is her 36th single's (Freaky) cover.)

It's not exaggerative saying that Koda Kumi was once an savior of JPOP market. In 2006, she was the only one singer whose sales volume was over 100million. Moreover, in 2007, her records was sold out more than 1million, and only she did that in that year. From 2005 to 2007, her sales volume occupied the first place.

Certainly, you must ask why she can be so popular and successful. I guess that there are two possibilities. The 1st one is her sexy image. She showed the audience her beautiful body, and of course she was not shy at all. Moreover, she dare to speak some topics which others avoid of. The 2nd reason is she released 12 singles in 12 weeks continuously during 2005 to 2006. Before she, nobody did that! Because of the amazing deed, she caught everyone's sight and media's spotlight.

However, her career seemed not so smooth. In 2008, she said that women's amniotic fluid would be decayed after 35 years old on her radio channel. Her inappropriate talk invoked female audience's anger and she was immediately forced to stop any performance and new album's propaganda. This incident really gave her a big impact and influence. Her popularity went down rapidly. Although she was affected by this incident severely, her new album, Kingdom, still got the first place for two weeks on Oricon.

Till today, somebody said that her popularity was lower than before because of the incident happened in 2008. However, her records are still popular. She won at least one ward in 日本唱片大賞 from 2005 to 2009. It means that there are still a lot of fans cannot resist her sexy fascination.
