Exciting news! I wasn't able to go to Tokyo in the end so this is great. Hope I can get tickets for both shows through the Global Fanclub. I imagine a lot of people will be trying to get tickets.

What would be a countdown edition for DNA tour?
Different setlist? Different cool effects? |
Probably the same show but with the countdown part. I wish the concert was in Osaka Jo Hall, which is an arena, but oh well.

Quote:
Porno Graffiti are having their countdown concerts there this year. There are quite a lot of artists in Japan having CDLs every year. But like that Kuu can sell out both dates without a problem. |
If Rhythm Zone was willing to take a risk , Kuu could have hold her 1st countdown concert at Kyocera Dome Osaka cos nobody is performing there on the last 2 days of 2018
But with Osaka Grand Cube being a hall venue , Kuu should have no problems selling both dates out |
@Corvina I guess they didn't even considerate Osaka Jo Hall, since the stage is shaped for a hall tour and not an arena. It wouldn't be the first time they would have to "reshape" a stage for a bigger size (Black Cherry Tour becoming the special final), but I wasn't expecting this at all tho.
@KarenPang That would be cool but risky at the same time. If it was for her 20th anniversary, they could expect at least one of the dates do sold out. I remember with FANTASIA that they created new seats after the last batch of tickets, and I think those you couldn't even see the stage properly, but that was 8 years ago. And yeah, it's probably gonna be sold out pretty quickly. |
I love the tracklist 4 DNA tour. I was concerned that she might not perform NEVER ENOUGH but now that I know it's her fav song from the album there was no way she wouldn't have. It's my fav song from AND as well, it's simple yet amazing. I love the lyrics, they are so deep, meaningful & relatable.

Well, AND charted for 8 weeks and DNA is only at 5 now and sold the same amount.
Guess we can see it for another one or two or even more on the charts. Guess Who Is Back topped Ai no Uta on Spotify. It's at around 7k plays everyday right now. But the majority of those streams must be from outside Japan, cause with those daily numbers it should pop up in the daily Spotifiy chart of Japan and it doesn't. Which means the streams are not by Japanese accounts. The song is popular overseas. The opening of BC is at 1,6 million views on Crunchyroll France on youtube alone. Bonus: A screenshot from the October FC video! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/Hhr2eV.png |

Clip of Kuu performing WATCH OUT from the tour. The tour already looks more high budget to me than W FACE. |
I think I get it now why she talked about getting tickets on the second floor, if the screens get too horizontal you might not see it properly. And indeed that makes it look like an arena tour. She might reuse this idea next year or in 2020, who knows ~

Once this batch is sold out, they won't restock again. It will only ship out at the start of December, so people are asked to consider that while ordering. |
XXIMUꓘ? 20th anniv already? :P
|
Sprite-version Kumi is cute :laugh
|
Don't know if you guys noticed, but the ring on the shoulder bag is for decorating the bag with the gashapons (or other keychains). ;)

I'm just rediscovering Kuu's B sides...
Already listened to It's too late (from colour of soul) and Sweet kiss (from you)... |
Omg, this 8-bit art is so cute! <3

30th Sept's KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2018 ~DNA~ date at Rohm Theater Kyoto Main Hall that was cancelled due to Typhoon Trami has been rescheduled to 30th Dec at Grand Cube Osaka Main Hall
Kuu's website acknowledged that the venue for the rescheduled concert is not the same so they will reassigned new seats within Grand Cube Osaka Main Hall for fans For fans who want to get their $ back , that can be done and the refund period time frames differ which depends if the tickets were balloted via Kuu's domestic and/or international fanclub(s) , or via general ticket sales like Ticket Pia , e+ , Lawson Ticket & etc https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1066099 |
Refunds for the Kyoto tickets are eligible till October 15.
So I guess we will find out if the Countdown editions of the tour are made for real or stay planned, when they're going to officially re-sell the refunded tickets for 30th December. More news! Due to the typhoon avex has delivery problems with some of Kuu's new goods. So the two hoodies sadly won't be available at the Tokyo shows this coming weekend. They're really sorry for every fan, who was lookign forward to those. https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1066146 They're also opening a combined DNA Café & Shop for a limited time! It's located at Tokyo Sky Tree, opening will be tomorrow and it will run till November 02. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...921/YaETrA.jpg Apart from the DNA Tour goods they're also selling some of the goods from her earlier collabos with Betty Boop and Tweety. There's also a new Kloop x Sky Tree plushie offered! https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/7w5rqR.jpg Here's the menue of the café: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/OGMwqk.jpg If you order something at the café, you'll also get a random sticker (placed at the bottom of the menue). News: https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1066149 They're really going all out once again with Kuu. She already had her tour goods shops for a limited time for her last two tours there. And they sold her a-nation tour goods along with some other artists this year at Sky Tree village as well. Plus the W FACE Tour collabo with that Karaoke bar chain and the hotel last year. They indeed keep to try to offer fans as much as possible. Interesting to note that AAA has a café & shop up right now at SKy Tree as well. |
That guy could be Kuu's brother!
Also, I am alllllllllll the way here for 8-Bit Kuu! |

They announced a special Anniversary event for December 6.
Quote:
There will be a special present for the people attending, a 'high five' from Kuu for farewell and more. It's taking place at a United Cinema in Tokyo. The DNA café is open and if you wanna see more pics, also from the food and drinks you only have to take a look at Instagram or Twitter. The stuff looks awesome. Edit: Misako Uno from AAA went to see Kuu live today as well. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/M4TyaP.png |
All of this is awesome, I wonder if avex really is starting to invest more into kuu because of namie's retirement, or if the reason is simply that it's a solid time in kuu's career. Anyway, it's pretty inspiring to see her journey. I feel as if it's a comeback of some sort.

Bah humbug. I didn't see that bit lol. Oh well, there's always Nakano Broadway.

^ In Treevillage maybe you still find some goods even the official shop isn't there anymore. I went in april and I found some goods from W Face Tour. There was a space from avex or mu-mo. I don't remember very well hahaha
On the other hand the screening event is only from fanclub members? I'll be in Tokyo that day and I'd love to go <3 |
Kuu and CKay look so fierce together, now that's a collab I'd loooove to see
|
The concert is EPIC !! So so so so so better than another hall or arena !!

For the event they don't directly say it's only for FC, but as it's a screening for her FC Tour I suppose so. The last paragraph on her official sites says tickets for the FC are coming soon with more information of the event. ------------------------------------------------------------- Kuu got big flowers from Music Fair. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/hAIYsE.png She says she's taking them home with her. :laugh Interesting that they're sending her flowers backstage and not like usual outside at the venue. She also thanking her fans for making her presents. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/tqvASO.png She also got some from overseas fans. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/JayOWe.png She also got privately flowers from Chara yesterday: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/OZ4yFY.png |

Yesterday's setlist
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/5905403592 Also sadly the morning TV shows will not be airing any footages from over the weekend's concert tomorrow , based on the tweet updates I've seen online from the usual suspects like Asadesu , Mezamashi TV , ZIP! TV & etc :s |
The concert for the DVD/report will probably the CDL, with three performances for the same place it's the best way to get the most footage possible.
|
She received my gift from Chile !!!!! I’m crying !!!! (Super 8)
|
|
Anyone know if the AND tour is on any streaming sites? Usually I come across hidden youtube or facebook links.
|
Quote:
Could happen they use the best of those recordings for the DVD release. Or we get the concert built together from different dates - I hope not tho. Considering they also include backstage footage for every date for the special tickets, we'll probably get a fully packed DVD release. Already looking forward. :laugh The CDL is not confirmed yet. Kuu posted a lots of pics with other artists/models/athletes coming to her tour yesterday. For CK she wrote she keeps wanting to sing with her someday. So just do it! :laugh For Misako Uno she wrote a thank you for her coming to everyone of her tours. I didn't know Misako Uno is such a big Kuu fan! The (Gyaru) models Kumicky and Marimo went as well. I remember both being in the audience in one of Kuu's TV performances some years ago. The camera showed Kumicky so damn often back then, it was kind of distracting, lol. |

Kuu x CK collab PLEASE!!!!! I'd fall over and die happily.

Oricon only counts a third of all sales from each date, but considering about 10k people went at the weekend, it may have caused the boost. |
The lottery for the Dec 30th date is now open. Before I reserve I just wanted to know what is the difference between a family seat and general reserved seat? Thanks.

Kuu posted on her insta story a questionnaire that was filled out by a Taiwanese fan. The fan's message and kuu sharing it is really cute, it's nice seeing her aknowledge her foreign fans more and more :)
http://i64.tinypic.com/w12q7l.png |
That's so sweet . Based on what the fan wrote on the Q&A , the fan is a male Taiwanese fan from Taipei . He's 30 & he attended last Sun's concert in Tokyo Kokusai Forum Hall A
|
I love her outfit. Very similar to my personal style. :)
|

Quote:
( you can name up to 3 artists) Is this a hint for another collab song that may happen? |
Wow! I'd love to see that collab with Crystal Kay happen.
And of course the first artist on my mind is Ayu but unfortunately I don't think their styles would mesh together very well. In fact I'm sure that song would be a mess :dead2 |
They could always do a ballad together. I need all the ppl to write ayu, tbh. I want that collab to happen. Might be unlikely but oh well.
|
She is looking amazing in that Instagram picture!
That question about the collaboration does seem intriguing but I don't want another Namie situation! |
Quote:
|
Quote:
And I'm also pretty sure her Japanese fans won't mention Ayu often. |
Quote:
|
I'd love for her to collab with VERBAL again!!!
|
^ Same! m-flo as well, especially now LISA is back :heart I'd also love a collab with CKay, Thelma Aoyama, or Miliyah... And as I much as I love ayu and Kuu, I agree it'd be hard to match both of them in a song, but a rock-ish song might be a good try, more than a ballad imo
avex should do something similar to SM Station and having its artists to collab/cover each other on a frequent basis, there could be so many great stuff coming out of this. But then avex loves physical releases and those things are mainly for YouTube and Spotify, so I think that's unlikely to happen. A pity. -- Oh, and it just came to me... Where is Driving Hit's 9?? :cry |
Quote:
Anyway, I'd really love a collaboration with Miliyah :love Although Kuu herself posted some time ago a story at Instagram with a caption about the latest Thelma Aoyama's album, maybe she like her too? |
I definitely see Koda and Ayu doing a song like Ayu's W.

I think a song between Ayu and Koda would be kinda of "Dream ON" 2.0 lol Not a bad thing tho but I don't see it happening :( I would live for a collab with Crystal Kay, Thelma and m-flo!

A collab with Crystal Kay would be dreamy. With BoA as well - they could have a dance-off in the PV or something.
I think hers and Ayu's voice would not sound good together. And my personal pipe dream is a collab with DOUBLE. |
I forgot to mention FEMM and FAKY, I'd looooove to see Kuu doing something with them!

She's seriously praising Kyoshi Hikawa in one of those new posts, how good of a person he is. It's cute.
|
That purse (?) from the Osaka look is hella big but this aside she looks flawless, I almost always love her off-stage fashion choices <3
The setlist for the festival is okay, I just thought she was going to cover one song from Akiko Wada but that's okay. The megumi no hito performance was expected but still loved she did it. |

I'm so glad that she performed NEVER ENOUGH at WADA Fes. I didn't expect that at all. I thought she'll sing Ai no Uta & Butterfly + a cover song. Can't wait to see her part in December. Hopefully, someone will record it in HD.
She looks awesome in both outfits and she also looks like she the youngest performer at the festival. |

She looks so good for the WADA fest! Can't wait till December to get footage of it. I hope they don't cut Love is Over and NEVER ENOUGH.
I like that she often wears her own Goodies. They are very fashionable anyway, so this adds a little more to the value of them. Answering the question of weeks ago, on what she's wearing for the FC Edition of DNA (talking about the shoes), and it's the YELLO "FROSEN LONG" piece: https://www.yelloshoes.com/products/detail/8200092 --- Can someone upload PD's MORE demo? I lost it. :( |
