[single] 恋のつぼみ - 倖田來未

Koi no Tsubomi-Koda Kumi

This is Koda's first release after her spree of 12 singles that was released weekly and chart performance-wise, it did relatively well by debuting at Number 2 on the Oricon charts.

Koda sounds very sweet and demure on this song, ditching her slutty/skanky image for once. The song reminds me of a strawberry lollipop, sweet but but not so extreme that it will give you diabetes (read: Morning Musume songs).

All in all, it is a nice single, worth a few spins and that's about it. Not hall of fame material.

Rating: 3/5
