right, good time to delete my instagram, I miss all of these things :roflmao

Kuu will be at A-Nation 2018! Nagasaki and Mie dates so far. Tokyo and Osaka line-up not announced yet but I'm guessing she'll be there as well.

http://a-nation.net/

There is a lot happening right now at her FC.

- They announced a-nation and the ticket sale for those dates.
- They're now having a resale for a bunch of tickets for the FC tour, cause apparently there was a connection error with the sales site (and people, who won tickets in the lottery, couldn't pay their tickets, that's how I understand them).
So now they sell the remaining tickets on a "first come, first serve" basis.
(cause there is obviously no time anymore to make lottery rounds). Those tickets won't be picture tickets though.
- They announced another campaign for the tour. People attending the tour can enter a drawing for seats directly on the stage for the Zepp venues!
20 people are drawn for each Zepp date.

- They also announced a campaign for renewing your membership at the venues. Plus people, who already renewed their membership at least twice, can get a special postcard with a message from Kuu at the FC booth. It will be given out one per person and date, 4 randomly types, while stock lasts.
- The tour won't have an encore section.

First people got their tickets for the first date in two weeks:

^ Is the stage seating only for Japanese FC members? I can't find a place to enter on the site, or any news about it.

Seems like there will be no encore for the AND fanclub tour :O

You can enter the drawing at the venue at the FC booth with your FC member card/number.
Winners will be annouced an hour before the show and they have to be within 15 minutes at the FC booth.
Ah, and they say you have to be ok with pics and videos being made of you.
People taking part should also consider music being very loud and it could hurt their ears.
Plus you musn't wear self-made customes and stuff with the Koda Gumi logo.
On stage at the concert you have to remain seated in the marked area.
Hope I haven't forgot anything and anyrhing is right.
Cause it's a lot of info posted and e.g. the info abput no encore is just in a tiny note somewhere at the end.

Thank you!

ok, so I've made a mistake - the announcement is actually an hour before the show starts and you have to be at the booth within 15 minutes after the annoucement (just back from work and too tired now, sorry).
The announcement times are in the chart I already posted:

What a disaster. Her staff needs an overhaul. Sad.

It actually sounds more like a mistake from the provider.
Her staff is overall a good one.
But I do agree it's unlucky for everyone.

This thing with the fans on the stage makes me think about how the stage is gonna be. I can picture it being somehow like a club/bar, something similar to PARTY's PV with the fans sitting at the bar. It will probably be like her Asia Live 2015 tho... haha

I love how some of my favorites stages from her lives are from small venues: Dirty Ballroom was awesome, a big screen is not needed imo; Second Session Release Party was lovely, with those curtains and lights (still wish we had the whole thing, and not a digest video) and First Things Tour. ♥

If you don't know what the Release Party was:

I honestly thought Best Singles Collection was an amazing small venue concert. I loved everything about it. I feel like most other people didn't like it, though.

Kuu should consider doing a Premium Night type of tour at very small club venues which're even smaller than Live House

I can imagine her performing at venues such as Motion Blue Yokohama , Nagoya Blue Note , Blue Note Tokyo , Billboard Live Tokyo , Billboard Live Osaka and singing acoustic jazz like songs onstage and these venues can only accommodate less than 400 people

Motion Blue Yokohama is the smallest as it only can accommodate 150 people

That would have been epic & the proximity of Kuu away from the stage towards you is so near it's hard to believe which's something you will not get in an Arena tour

Also back when Kuu came here to perform , even some of her own Japanese fans flew by here to see her cos the chances of her performing in Live House venues back in Japan is very rare , not counting the upcoming fanclub tour

That said I enjoy watching concerts that're staged in all different venue types but sometimes less is more

...I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to see her do it again, but she did this already??? That was the whole premise of her Eternity tour and she used Billboard venues for that.

YAS that Billboard live was EVERYTHING.

It totally was. :heart This has inspired me to pick up the bluray when I'm in Japan next month haha!

I also love that concert. she looked so classy and the atmosphere was so nice

a friend of mine wants company for the show in Fukuoka. anyone interested? id love to go but ill be in Tokyo at the time :(

nnn girl why you gotta post pics on LINE showing bad form when doing your splits??? my hips hurt just looking at it

I guess, I'm following your friend on Instagram.

Anyway, after dance rehearsals last week, Kuu has band rehearsals this week.
She has new guitar and bass players, one being from the band HighsidE (the band of Misono's husband), the other from the band Red Diamond Dogs.
Today they practiced the show for the live house venues (aka not-the-Zepp venues).
Judging by her words, it will not only look a bit different, but also has a different setlist.
