このシングル(2004年)のCW『夢 with you』は1993年久保田利伸のカバー。 「feel my mind [初回版]」のボーナストラックよりもこっちのVer.の方が、R&Bたっぷりでかっこいい! 曲の始まりから終わりまで倖田來未の歌声におぼれてしまいます! 衣装で飾って「エロかっこいい」と言われるようになったのがこの頃からだったと思いますが、 この歌声は飾ることのできない本物。
It's taken me a while to track down this single (now there are only two more Kuu singles I need to complete the collection), so to find someone selling it here is mint condition???!
SINGLE REVIEW:
There's a reason all Koda Kumi fans know this song: because this is the song/single where Koda Kumi busted out of her shell and became that sexy, ero-kakkoi artist we all know today.
The lead track, 'Crazy 4 U,' is addicting, it's fun and has a dance that you will learn. Even if you think you can't dance, this song will make you try. This was actually the second Koda Kumi I learned the dance to when I was just starting out myself back in '04! This entire song from the lyrics to the PV scream erotic and fun. Koochan did an amazing job and fans will always commend her for this daring piece.
The b-side is "Yume with You" and is a smooth R&B track, sounding extremely slow after that fast-paced a-side. The song sounds like it could have fit better on her last single, but it's a nice track. Unfortunately, nothing memorable. I think this is one of the few Koda Kumi ballads that even I don't know the lyrics to outside of the chorus. (laughs)
Crazy 4 U gets its own remix and it sounds as though DJ 19 had a hand it, but that wouldn't be the case. This is Akakage's Crazy Love Remix and it has a nice, summer beat. It fits with the theme of the song without taking away from it and turns that sexy, cool song into a song you can play at the beach.
Kuu fan or not, you should own this single. Because this is where Koochan's hard work started to shine through.
