The tracklist souns a bit odd lol Reminds me of mashup or cover songs
|
I like the tracklist, I can't wait for the album
|
So weird seeing the tracklist from other sources than her own website/fc. haha
The names are okay, I'm curious about SWEETEST TABOO, BRAIN and OUTTA MY HEAD the most. |
are all song titles in caps? I love it tbh I hope they are
|
Quote:
It's probably serving as a breaker to get some air, if the rest of the songs really is so upbeat. With that I can see the first half being more EDM/Urban and the songs after NEVER ENOUGH more pop like LIT. |
I don't hate Party. I don't love it either. I will see how I feel about it over time. The real test will be how it sounds when I'm blasting it in my car.
I like the PV though. Its fun! |
Lol some silly titles eh. All right, got me going'(?), who, brain?, its my life :laugh. All of them sound unoriginal but I hope the music is good. Since Hush will most likely be on the next album I hope it's full of bops<3

Finalised tracklist for AND has finally been updated on Kuu's official site , inclusive of new AND promo picture
https://s10.postimg.org/4tpdb2xqh/ne...ge_1058229.jpg DVD footages tracklist in the fanclub version of AND , consist of 57 tracks all handpicked by Kuu herself Spoiler:
Total duration for both discs - 218 minutes http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1058229 |
GOT ME GOING' is a Blues/R&B number written by Jessie J.
|
Promise you almost didn't make the cut again; just one performance, in comparison of 6 performances of TABOO...
|
I wonder what will be different on those selected tour dates to make the DVD so worth it x__x

V.I.P. Sometimes dreams come true GOT ME GOING' They also met 2014 in Tokyo, https://www.instagram.com/p/ukRSiLw0UT/ |
I didn't know about Sometimes dreams come true. I actually like that song a lot! nice to know. ♥ they look lovely in that picture. I lost track on Jessie around that time so I for sure missed this lol
|
I wouldn't be surprised if GOT ME GOING is the demo 5 Down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avhHigzE4J8
For the description it sounds pretty much how the song is, and the chorus is "'Cos you got me going ooh", so who knows. |

I'm just a bit meh about this But I've preorder the FC version, my fault I guess :rolleyes |

I personally think the price you paid for the fanclub version is a bargain considering it's a lot of footages in both DVDs |
And you get a big hardcover photobook, which usually costs between 2,500 and 3,000 yen on its own and a special packaging.
Plus she only sang Jounetsu on the first date and removed it after. I guess something didn't work right, so imo it was pretty clear they wouldn't include it. If all I'm only sad they didn't include more songs from the encore apart from LIT. Lady Go! or WIND e.g. There are all staple songs except the medleys on the 2 special discs (XXX probably is in the MPC), as well as the ballads she rotated (Promise you, On my way and Yorokobi no Kakera are all there). I'm just imagining how much work this must have been, recording all the dates and then looking through all of them to pick all the performances out. |
I'm pretty much getting it for the PB tbh, I'll just wait till next week to pre-order it. But tbh what is bothering me now is I just realised this version won't include PVs //: I hate it when avex makes those FC Versions without the PV disc so we have to get more than one of the same album. W FACE made me happy cause you could buy only one CD+BR version and have all videos, so I was kinda hoping there would be a "complete" version for AND.
|
It does include PVs - the FC version has the CD+DVD version of AND.
|
She probably record almost all her performances. We saw that during TRICK Tour making of, when she's watching the concert from some random date. And even the DVD has raw recordings, such as It's all love and BBB. This is usually for the big screen, or just so she can have control of everything that is going on, on stage. It was probably planned all along tho, after each date she would watch the concert and select the best performance of the day and keep it. Not much of a hard work, to be honest.
|
Oh, I misread it then :P Glad it has the PVs then hahahah
|
I see kuu has announced her FC tour for this year, but won't she be doing a normal one?
I want to go see her live!!! |
@ Gustavopc - wouldn't blame you for being confused cos fanclub versions don't tend to include PVs in the footages but at least the fanclub version of AND will
Quote:
|
when you say later on, you think there might be dates before the end of october?
That's when I will leave Japan çç |
Quote:
If so she probably will do an Autumn/Winter tour to promote it ? :confused |
Quote:
No time frame yet though. |
She mentioned a hall tour later this year on the W FACE Tour final, but we have no dates :/ Only guesses
|
let's hope for that one then! thank you guys for your answers. Sucks i can't go to this one! I guess it's too late even if i sign up for her fc, isn't it?
|
Quote:
You can always go to the concert venue/s to see if anyone will sell their tickets at on the day itself , provided if anyone writes about it online I don't know if there will be any on the day sale tickets made available but probably not cos the venues for Koda Kumi Fanclub Tour ~AND~ are Live House and they're not as big as Hall venues |
^ yeah thought so!
Still won't hurt to give it a try I guess? Keep you guys updated and if I do get to go I will write all about it ;) I hope she does something between september and october! I would love to see her live, she's one of my fav. |
Quote:
Gonna be interesting to see which quality the recordings will be. Hopefully better, cause I also think they probably planned that all along.

I suppose I have to wait and watch the difference between the performance included in the DVD and this 'news' performances. And yes, the photobook is what is encouraging me not to cancel it and order the CD+DVD version, because I'm super in love with the covers :luv2 |
Well, I see this as a way of people getting some of their memories of her concert during the date that they attended. It might be really repetitive, and I don't think her team is expecting you to watch the whole thing, but basically that one memorable performance when you were there and it was special to you, you know?
If it was only to bring "different" things, it would be a DVD full of Sukideshite with the fans interaction, and welll, that would be boring. |
Quote:
I can imagine everyone sitting down watching probably over more than 100 hours worth of footages , assuming each concert date last about 2 hours if more maybe even more than that |

Quote:
DVDs 2 and 3 are supposed to be a bonus. They could have just include all of those performances on a Music Card again, just like they did with all the MCs from Best Single Collection tour, so that you can download just one you like. Instead we get a performance from every date (in full) for everyone. |
The AND multi purpose shoulder bag is a good size bag to bring along inside the Koda Kumi Fanclub Tour ~AND~ concert venue/s
That said it looks quite small & I don't think it's big enough to put a small water bottle inside ? Not sure :confused If not you always can redeem a cup of beer after the concert finishes , haha |

I was watching the PARTY PV Preview on Koda Gumi and with the good quality I noticed in the security camera takes it says "CAMERA 93" on the corner :laugh Nice one
Also, the date says 02/28/2018 which is the album release date :P I love it when they pay attention to those details |
What does camera 93 means?
|
Amazon Japan updated its item description and the tracklist order is different:
01. BRAIN 02. LIT 03. IT’S MY LIFE 04. PARTY 05. GOT ME GOING’ 06. SWEETEST TABOO 07. OUTTA MY HEAD 08. WHO 09. ALL RIGHT 10. NEVER ENOUGH But that's the only source with this one. Quote:
She's using that since early in her career (2004 or 2005 maybe?). |
Oh, lol now it makes sense xD
|
Quote:
I was actually expecting NEVER ENOUGH to be the closing track on the album since the first time I heard it but I was also expecting the album to start with PARTY. Now I wonder if the poster is going to look the same way as the wall sticker, just bigger. Wall sticker isn't small either. I can't decide where to order Blu-ray edition from, FC or CD Japan. |

Full PARTY PV will be released as a "GYAO! Special Edition" on Gyao in a few hours, tonight 12 am Japanese .
http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1058366 |
PARTY (GYAO Special Edition)
https://gyao.yahoo.co.jp/player/0007...0000000003929/ Video only can be viewed for those living in Japan I managed to rip PARTY (GYAO Special Edition) from GYAO (for the 1st time woo) https://www.sendspace.com/file/5z5mln The 2nd part of PARTY PV is very funny & crazy . The snap chatting (or is it Instagram ?) and the security guard trying to stop Kuu from partying are random though o_O The last part of the PV was cut abruptly , wonder was it on purpose ? :confused |
Thanks for sharing the video!
The video itself is cute, and fun. I'm glad to see the song goes somewhere more than the preview showed, but it's still a throw-away song. That said, it's also really grown on me and it is fun - I just think it won't age well, and probably won't be used after this era of releases. I could totally see her opening the FC tour with it though, and I'm sure it would get everyone's energy way up from the start. |
Lemme turn my VPN on so I can pretend I live in Japan for 3:51min lmao
|
Thanks, Karen!
Meanwhile avex also uploaded a different short version on youtube: Probably the album version, extended beginning. |
i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee PARTY !!! PV IS REALLY FUNNY <3
|
Listening to Driving Hit's 7 I wonder if Driving Hit's 8 will be released this year, maybe after the second album is released.

DH7 is still on daily repeat here ❤️ |
DH7 has grown to be my fav on the series, it's incredibly good. If there's a DH8 I hope she keeps house nation out of it again.

M-ON! TV tonight will broadcast PARTY PV
2/9(金) [MV] さよならエレジー / 菅田将暉 青空ばかり / 斉藤和義 PARTY / 倖田來未 http://www.m-on.jp/program/detail/sakidori/ Not sure if this version that M-ON! TV will be airing will be the same 1 that GYAO uploaded though |
Did you guys notice what's written on the flyer in the longer PARTY PV preview?!?
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/qTkIdU.jpg King Devils Party 2018 13th November Line Up TBA + Special Guests Is this a hint to a special concert this year on her birthday? Maybe through her next hall tour with the 2nd album? Maybe the 2nd album is going to be a collab album after all...? Probably not, but intresting to see. :laugh ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A special programme was announced today. A Koda Kumi PV collection airing on 02/28 on SKY PerfecTV!. http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1058441 https://www.skyperfectv.co.jp/ |
Wow, I noticed the name of the party but didn't pay attention to the rest! I'd love if that's a hint on some upcoming stuff!!
|
And here's the other edition of the PARTY PV aired by M-ON tonight:
Sadly deleted again. So this version (which is probably the album version) is basically a full one compared to the GYAO edition. The outfit she's wearing while dancing in the club is Moschino btw. |
^ the link has been deleted , I can't access it via my mum's netbook and/or my handphone :x
|
Quote:
Gonna change the link, when it's up again. |
Love the PV, really fun and high energy. Wish Ultraviolet was this good. Still haven't listen the song, can't wait for the whole album to be out. ♥
I do think that the flyer is a hint to something, she already did something like this for GTTT announcing that her "new single" would be a ballad and be released by december. |
Quote:
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/5547199135 And I ripped the PARTY PV from the link https://www.sendspace.com/file/2m8unt Seems like only the beginning & ending of PARTY PV were cut from what was uploaded on GYAO! The quality that I managed to rip is not that good , hopefully the .ts file will be uploaded soon |
^Thanks, Karen. I love the MV, it's very entertaining and fits the song perfectly. Instagram parts in the second half reminded me of what Demi Lovato did in her Sorry Not Sorry MV, I believe she used snapchat there. Can't remember.
Speaking of .ts / HD, does anyone know if there's an HD rip of W FACE TOUR Final or there's only that low-quality version on facebook? Quote:
|
PARTY lyrics , inclusive of Romanji & Traditional Chinese translations
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/5547489009 The song is almost 95% English |
Quote:
Cause usually then we also have the credits of the song. And imo in 2 parts I hear something slightly different. |
My friend today sent me the updates on what releases avex Taiwan will release next month and unfortunately Kuu's W FACE DVD is not on the list
I guess it's safe to say that avex Taiwan is not going to make it :x I hope they will make AND though W FACE is Kuu's 3rd DVD that's not getting a Taiwan press , what a shame |
PARTY .ts
https://i.imgur.com/Bb7Emdw.jpg http://www.mexashare.com/r1fok4nxbvrm/party_mon.rar Source - jpfiles I converted the .ts to .mp4 for those who don't want big file sizes like me http://www.mexashare.com/fc1qrb771mt...mi_-_PARTY.mp4 Also someone on Baidu commented that Kuu said the word PARTY 45 times in the song itself , LOL |
PARTY has surpassed NEVER ENOUGH's views in two days.
(76,636 vs 66,908) |
^That's great. I was hoping LIT would have 1m views by now but it's at 722k right now, which is still pretty good.
So AND has no tie-ins except for LIT (with that mobile RPG Dragon Nest or whatever)? Sucks, altho W FACE -outside- didn't have any either and still sold better than -inside-. |
Quote:
|
I can't with another song talking about gettin wasted on alchohol :(( But she looks stunning and the production was really good!
|
Funny coincidence.
WALK OF MY LIFE PV was uploaded in full on the avex channel 2015/02/28 (Japan only though), 3 years before the new album is dropping. It currently stands at 1,526,701 views. |
Two weeks 'till the release and not a sigh of promotion going on, except for the PV being show on TV. Not a single website (such as barks, oricon, or any other) has even promoted the album in some way, showing the tracklist and the covers. I know this is a release for the fans, and pretty much only the FC, but damn, that's kinda of a off-putting time to be honest.
I guess the music needs to speak for itself at this point. |
Let's hope she at least does a LINE live for this album. Those have always given her a small boost.
|
Kuu will be singing Japan's national anthem at Meiji Yasuda Seimei J1 League before the football teams Sagan Tosu compete against Vissel Kobe
This will take place on 23rd Feb at Tosu Stadium / Best Amenity Stadium http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1058502 |

W FACE had lots of tie-ins and TV performances and it didn't do much (and the album with the tie-ins sold less). Most people buying her relases are (hardcore) fans anyway, you don't have to promote for them. But she had an interview on January 30th, where she spoke about every song. We probably get that soon. I assume it's an online interview like the two big ones we had for W FACE. I do think it's going to look a bit different again for the 2nd album though. Edit: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...924/1SthWH.png Kuu is going to be on Toshi's ( from X JAPAN) radio show on February 19th. |
I know that it doesn't help doing TV performances or even radio interviews, but those things are more for the fans anyway. We always see them in the audience, so it's nice to see things like this happening and making the album release less uninteresting.
As for the websites giving a shout out for the album, I guess it does help since nobody is talking about the album anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if the album hits 10k and that's it. Even a YT teaser would be nice, at this point. --- Btw, the radio show that she's going on february 19th is the infamous ALL NIGHT NIPPON. I don't remember her ever attending since 2008, did she? |
It's surprising the album isn't FC exclusive anyway.
The online promotion is probably coming closer to the release date. Something like a LINE live is also coming closer to the release date, if we get one. 2 weeks are a lot of time for the internet, lol. |
Since the album is so closely related to the FC Tour I was not even expecting promotion at all, I guess that for the second album she might go outwards a bit more, but still as Corvina pointed out, it doesn't make that much effect so just a couple of live performances and I'm okay
|
Quote:
I love promo stuff for her releases, it helps get me pumped. The radio show is certainly intriguing... |
|
Kumi looks stunning.

This woman is pure beauty, my gosh <3
