Japanese J-Pop Goddess Koda Kumi is top of the charts with her album "Black Cherry" .
The xmas version is a 3 disc set with a kind of "Charlie's Angels" caper DVD starring the little strumpet and her deadly mates attached.
Koda Kumi is to Ayumi Hamasaki what Christina Aguilera was to Britney Spears, essentially, she's more raunchy and more fun, but you wouldn't take her home to visit your mum.
Here's the wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumi_Koda
Her official website: http://www.rhythmzone.net/koda/index.html
And a taster of her in action doing an ad for vodafone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVlxlOcHkkU
Sadly, Vodafone no longer exists in Japan, as it couldn't afford to compete against the likes of DoCoMo NTT and AU who crush all who stand in their way. Vodafone Japan is now called "Softbank" and they have a regular package with Apple's Ipod bundled, obviously even Koda couldn't help them out of their hole...
She's such a typical tokyo girl... they all have these mad painted nails and sexy hair... its really quite crazy, but anyway... watch for her gem studded mobile phone ( in the DVD ) details like these are so common in Japan you could literally drown in sparkly stuff as these chicks rush past you in Shibuya with mountains of square shopping bags hanging from each elbow...
Is Koda Kumi big outside Japan? Could be with this one as it seems to all be in English.... dribble dribble... scuse me... brb
