This post jogged my memory of this forum from long ago. Are we allowed to post links to US music? I feel like we weren't allowed to keep the forum safe from any illegal music issues.

Oh! Oops, my bad! :dead2

glad you got rid of it; it’s not cute lol

Her new music project is getting more and more interesting! And it seems that she's taking a good time to do it, not rushing anything.

I wonder if we're getting Eh Yo's cover next wednesday, or maybe it's gonna be revealed by the time is out next week. I do have to say that I'm not that into the song right now, maybe because I was expecting something different. The best part is the second chorus for sure.

I'm SO excited for this. High hopes!

I wonder if that's my tshirt because she bought it in a thrift store lol

Kuu previewed the new FC magazine in her stories.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/HZ8gbT.png

She already showed the new design in a playroom post some time ago.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/w81GBT.png

It's ready, but they now gonna send it out next week in July, so a bit later than initially planned.

She's also shooting something today (with extensions in her hair):

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/fhwfqH.png

Might be she's pre-recording her TV Tokyo Music Festival appearance for Wednesday? It's a live show, but some performances are pre-recorded every year.

Cause she has to be in Okinawa the next day already.

I like the new logo looking so chic but it'll take me some time yo get used to it lol Looking forward to the online publication so I can take a look at those pics, seemed like there are other pics from the reLIVE shooting and I'm so down for that.

She made three posts about the shooting (which is coming soon) and in one of the posts you can hear one of the new songs shortly in the background:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzF_LiOg...d=1xoaz416sw5w

The song teasing makes me think it's the album shooting, or a single. Can't wait to see what she's gonna deliver!

Idk, might be something for her brands.
A new colour for her contactlenses or a new product for her perfumes.
That's what I thought seeing the posts and her only casually mention the new song playing in the background in the post, rofl.
She also mentions that the info is out in some days and I don't think we will get new music that soon other than Eh Yo. Maybe it's even the cover for that.

EDIT:

More pics from playroom and her Twitter.

I never thought I'd say that but she looks like ayu in that last pic lol

^ ayu wishes... but yeah, I see what u mean haah

I have a MIGHTY NEED for that JAPONESQUE promo pic in the FC mag *___*

Can overseas Koda Gumi members buy the FC mag through her store? (I should really know this by now)

Looking gorgeous as always. I also think this is for some of her products, and judging by the eye make up, it might be for a new RE: DUA product (she has mascara and eyeliner so far).

I still wanna get her unissex fragrances, specially Eternaluxe - Tropical Shower. I wonder if this line wasn't that well received, since she hasn't done a new perfume since (only the fabric softener).

I can't get over how stunning she looks in those pics above. Nice change from her funky hair coloring experiments this last year or two.

Doesn't seem like it :(

We'll just have to settle with the digital online version.

The Osaka a-nation dates are going to be broadcasted live on TV:

https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1074010

Don't you think 7 different perfumes are enough? :laugh
I don't think there's a need to release even more, if there's too many sales will probably fall.
Other products with it like the fabric softener I can definitely see them adding.


EDIT:

Loveil's official Instagram account just confirmed that the shooting was for a new colour for her contactenses:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzIHYwin...d=gstec4ybo5oo

Oh well there goes my summer release :laugh

Amai Wana, Under, Candy, Get It On, JUICY, show girl, DDD, Always >>>>>>>>

The way she used to DELIVER I swear I still listen to these songs every single day.

I could be wrong. I'm talking about a rule I think I heard back in like 2007, lmfao.

Does anyone remember the exact number of times Kumi appeared on the Shibuya 109 building? A friend and I were discussing this and neither of us were exactly sure.

With a perfume line it's not how many you have that it's important, it's keeping people interested in your brand. I mean, Britney has a new perfume every year, and people still love Fantasy and all its different versions. All the info I saw about Kumi's perfumes, specially for her Love series, it's one of the most popular celebrity perfumes in Japan, so keep it going would be pretty natural. It has been 3 years since the Eternaluxe release, so who knows. :)

Also, only 3 of them are "unissex", so yeah, a little be more would be pretty good. haha

At this point I think so long as it sells a minimum of 1 bottle, she'll release more :laugh

Naomi Campbell has 25 and Paris Hilton has 24 (?) as of right now. It's CRAZY how many they've got and still going on.

Ok, I had no idea western celebrities have so many! :laugh
But afaik the perfume market isn't that strong in Japan (but fabric softener e.g. is, almost everybody uses it), so it's just different.
From my experience you can't widely buy it and it is regarded more of a western thing.

Kuu is going to perform in the 10 pm time slot with all the popular Johnny boybands:

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/vjqRsI.png

EDIT:

Official cover for Eh Yo.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/cXHIw7.png

They've also uploaded a 45 sec. preview, but I won't upload it as we already have the radio rip and it's coming out in a week.

There's also a second Koda Gumi lottery round for re(live) tickets - but only for the 10 dates the general pre-lottery was for as well. As already mentioned the rest is sold out. Maybe they'll manage to sell out all 59k tickets with FC and pre-sale lotteries?

https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1074107

The new re(live) promo is now also the new official artist picture (though Tere no Ongakusai today uses the Japonesque promo on its site).

I thought this tour was only for 50k for some reason. Would be cool if she could sell out 69k tickets just with FC and pre-sales.

The Eh Yo cover is a mess and while I love the promo picture it makes zero sense to use it as the cover for the single lol.

Wonder if she'll perform Eh Yo today and thats why they revealed the cover/preview. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

The Eh Yo cover is odd, but the photo itself is wonderful. It is kind of crazy that Kumi is in a position where she can potentially sell 70k work of tickets with just her fanclubs.

The choice of image is kinda odd tbh. Like, are they gonna use it as a theme song of sorts for re(LIVE)? Is the re(CORD) wording in there just random or is there supposed to be some special meaning to it? So strange...

I know it's for the Japanese FC only but when I saw KODA GUMI (GFC) I freaked out a bit - thinking that it could my third chance if I don't win the public draw :laugh

That re(CORD) I think is supposed to be made as some connection with re(LIVE), like what you said maybe Eh Yo will be the theme song of re(LIVE) TOUR.
The colour of the words on the cover is so ugly.

I mean, I got that... It's just... Why? Other than the connection to the re(LIVE) imagery...

Users who follow TV Tokyo's Tere to Ongakusai 2019 Twitter will stand a chance to win a tote bag signed by Kuu if they retweet the following tweet

https://twitter.com/teretoongakusai/...45704357224449

Seeing that Kuu will not perform live in tonight's live broadcast of Tere to Ongakusai 2019 , she probably be in an Okinawa hotel watching when the show begins broadcasting from 5.55pm Japan time onwards

That said , Kuu looks really elegant looking in the video commentary clip

The 2 outfits Kuu be wearing in tonight's live broadcast of Tere to Ongakusai 2019

Kuu is performing Eh Yo! :D
And probably also Ai no Uta with that dress.

There are some fans speculating that new music project/ new album might be called like that.
But I don't think so personally. Apart from recording and planning they probably haven't done that much for it yet and it's simply the new 'record' they're releasing now, which will also be used for her re(live) tour.
But who knows.


Btw. here's a live stream:
https://mov3.co/tvtokyo/

Hope I can catch it on my way home in the train.

The outift for Eh Yo is so hot, so thankful to whoever is coming up with those looks :heart

Video comment of Kuu holding a TV Tokyo's mascot Nanana soft toy

xD

Kuu performed a hit medley.
First Ai no Uta and then Eh Yo.

Very pretty stage setting and as transition she blew out a candle, nicely done.
Also happy for her that she got such a great time slot to perform!

Seeing a lot of positive feedback online. Many applauding the song, her style, and overall performance.

Some can't believe she's 36 LOL.

Until we get a proper rip.

Ai no Uta full on Twitter:

Eh Yo full on Twitter:

Social media is full of Eh Yo, people seem not really be interested that much in Ai no Uta. :laugh

:heart

Kuu looked like she had a wonderful time onstage at TV Tokyo's Tere to Ongakusai 2019 :love

Super high quality re(LIVE) promo picture

Great performance.

I was just looking at her Instagram stories and the part where she’s in the car and after...are those previews of a new song?

Yeah, sounds like it and I think it might be called 'Put Your Hands Up'. :laugh
Seems to be the (very) happy song she recorded.

Sorry, I don't like Eh Yo. But I'm also not a fan of Dreaming Now

I’m loving this performance, she sounds amazing and looks gorgeous. New summer jam!!

The new song (from instagram) sounds pretty cool!

I loved the performance, she looked great and sounded beautifully. So far it's a good start for the new era. ♥

If you want to get the blazer that she's wearing https://www.pinko.com/en-it/clothing...B2Y5PQZ99.html

bargain :D

I like her look a lot, but Eh Yo leaves nothing for me... :(

^ Unfortunately it's the same for me. The song isn't bad but it also isn't memorable to me... Maybe the beat was a bit faster, or we had a energy level from verses to chorus, but every part sounds like the previous one. Dreaming Now! had way more energy to it. But again, it isn't a bad song.

Hoping for a DH10 to remix it :P

Yes, maybe a change in the dynamic level would help...

And ohhh... DH10: because of re(LIVE), i hope i‘ll finally get a slayin’ remix of Lay Down :luv2

right?!?!?!? GIVE MEEEEEEEE /grabby hands

She’s looking amazing! Makes up for the song and cover being pretty bad, imo :laugh

Hey guys, random question - did the original Black Cherry tour have any hall venues at all? Somehow I was under the impression that it was a mix of halls and arenas with the Tokyo Dome final.

https://static.mercdn.net/item/detai...jpg?1548242841

https://item.mercari.com/jp/m54267481540/

https://www.livefans.jp/groups/2221

KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2007 ~Black Cherry~ venues were all Arenas with the final concert concluded at Tokyo Dome

Sun Dome Fukui & Nippon Gaishi Hall names are misleading as Sun Dome Fukui is not a Dome venue as its capacity is 10,000

Same with Nippon Gaishi Hall with it having the same capacity as Sun Dome Fukui

And back in 2007 , KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2007 ~Black Cherry~ SPECIAL FINAL in TOKYO DOME tickets were sold at 7,777 Yen per ticket

The reason why 7,777 Yen is because back then it was Kuu's 1st Dome concert and it was also to celebrate her 7th anniversary in the business

https://natalie.mu/music/news/3369

Nope, only arenas.
Some arenas have "hall" in their name, but aren't halls, so maybe that's why you got it mixed up.
Her Live Tour 2006-2007 ~Best second session~ was only halls, but ended in February 2007, only about 7 months before Black Cherry Tour started, so maybe that, too.

Quickly checked the dates in her FC magazine:


And you're lucky, they opened up the second Koda Gumi lottery for the international FC today, too!
You can try your luck again for the two left Osaka dates if you have to, it's open till July 5.
They've only made the announcement today.

OH. MY. GOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE NEWS CORVINA! Now I feel bad for bothering my friend to help me out :laugh But at least I've got another option! I honestly don't have high hopes for this public draw - which the results will be out in a few hours btw!

That's probably it! I think waaay back when I first got the DVD in 2008 or so and I watched the bonus disc 2 contents, they showed some performances in those arenas with Hall in their names so I think that impression stuck. And then I was thinking that you know, if she did Black Cherry tour in halls then, it shouldn't be all that hard to recreate and then elevate that.

Can you imagine if they charged the tickets now at 1,919 or 2,020yen? :laugh

Some concert venues' names are very misleading indeed

Same thing goes for MetLife Dome & Seibu Dome , they're not considered as the 5 major Domes in Japan but rather their capacity is like Arena sized

Likewise for Kobe World Memorial Hall which KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2007 ~Black Cherry~ kicked off back in 2007 , it ain't a hall but an Arena

I don't know why Japanese likes to make things confusing at times but ah well x)

Haha you never know that might apply in a future Kuu tour after she finished re(LIVE) ? x)

I JUST WON A GENERAL PUBLIC TICKET FOR THE DATE I APPLIED FOR Y'ALL!!

Congrats Jia Rong , so pleased your prayers have been answered

To you & others who will attend re(LIVE) in Sept , hope you all will enjoy the tour tremendously

Congrats, jiarongisme! :)

Lawson is having another pre-sale lottery in July. They're having promotional flyers in their stores.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/9f7dJV.png

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/K3PH5J.png

Guess they always print those so early, reacting to sold out dates is not possible.
General sale for everything that's left starts August 3, it's mentioned on the flyer as well.

Thanks Karen and Corvina! Now I just gotta figure out how to get a ticket for a Black Cherry show...

Kuu and her team started rehearsals yesterday.
They tag her exercising "a new challenge" today and also put it in the posts about her practicing something with her male dancers (upper left pic).

YAAAAAAAAAAY CONGRATS :heart

^ Thank you!! Sending a PM regarding the reseller website in a bit if that's okay!

Congrats jiarongisme! Hope you have a good time there!

I don't think Eh Yo is a bad song, it's just not what I was expecting. I was hoping for something more upbeat like Dreaming Now!, or a more empowering song like Hero from Namie. When people said that the song had drums, I thought about Bang! from AS... haha. The second part of the song is better than the first, but still kinda goes nowhere.

Right now I'm more interested in Put Your Hands Up (TBA lol), it sounded very electronic and cutesy at the same time, it reminds me of Love Technique a little bit.

https://i.postimg.cc/2Sr53gLp/Koda-K...akusai-mp4.jpg

I like this scene from last Wed's Tere to Ongakusai 2019 where so many lights lighted up behind Kuu

Kuu looks great in both Ai no Uta & Eh Yo but for Eh Yo , I don't know what to think about the song yet although weirdly the opening reminds me of ARASHI's BRAVE , x)

Kuu's manager (her name is Takana btw.) shared a video from Kuu getting ready for the talkshow in Okinawa.
Apparently Kuu is thinking about changing her hair again and said that she really wants to ask her fans about it.
So her manager does in this post.

https://mobile.twitter.com/KODAKUMIN...60506114924546

The most popular answer is the gyaru wave and for colour the two-toned style from Best ~secon session~ era and the purple/grey from W FACE era.
Let's see what she does with it, haha.

Kuu also teased that she's going to perform Eh Yo at a-nation in the July FC video.
And maybe in the coming Music Fair episode as well? It's not clear in the way she mentions it if she means both.

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/bgy8cO.png

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/azQ9nm.png

Oh please do the W FACE hair than... the other choice is horrible :no

^ for real.

I thought she might talk in the July video about the upcoming album or whatever she's been recording lately :/ I guess we won't getting new stuff that soon.

Don't get me hyped lol, been wanting another song in the vein of Love Technique forever!

Guess there are enough people who missed it?
Thanks to WKKW for saving everything, so here they are again.

In the first one she put a filter over it I assume.
Probably cause it's the chorus?





In both stories she wrote "put your hands up" in Japanese, which is why I assume it's the title.
I guess she's also singing it in the snippet of the first story.

To me it sounds like a mix of Love Technique and Whatchu Waitin' On?.

To sum it up a bit, we already have 5 new original songs we have confirmation for in some form:

- the electronic song produced by the same producers as XXX/SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA/IS THIS TRAP? (might be the song she previewed in the Instagram post here while shooting last week)
- a very sad and very happy song she recorded together on one day (Put Your Hands Up probably is the happy song)
- the song with the candy store lyrics she recorded here
- Eh Yo for the Rugby World Cup

That song also made me think of Love Technique! If it has a cool rap just like I'll be sold :P

I've been dreaming of a cool dancey collab with another female singer for so long, I hope there's one coming.

Kuu is shooting something today!

She had to get up early, 5 am, and it's going to be a long day.
Her dancers are there as well.
She's wearing Versace and said she's singing in a changing set today.

PV? Or TV performance?
She never showed a look that clearly before for a PV, she's not hiding it at all.

COME WITH ME as a favourite cover, I can't at her Japanese fans! :rofl
But Unmei, JUICY and Through the sky as songs they wanna see live!
So happy about Unmei - Kuu is suprised about that in the small comment they included (Idk why actually - Kuu, it's one of your best selling songs digitally!).
They didn't include the results for the question which tour would you love to attend again. But they probably used that for brainstorming for re(LIVE) and what's still to come.
In the new FC magazine they now show previously unreleased (backstage) pictures from her career and started a new section with her manager Takana (sorry, noticed too late that my phone auto-corrected her name to Tanaka in my other post). You can currently send in suggestions what you wanna see or hear from Kuu backstage in that section at her Japanese FC.

The photos of fans they included are sadly only two pages and the photos I sent in weren't used. *sniff*
But they say there were a lot of participants (for the survey above, too) and thanking the whole FC.

They also share the names of her new dancers in the USJ live report - they're called Shanita, Akane, Yasuha and Haruka.

I'm SCREAMING at the side by side photos for re(LIVE). Love.

Just sharing some of the re(LIVE) photos from the FC magazine... Hope no one gets mad at me. They're too good: https://imgur.com/a/6s271Fz

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1...924/NN8y5P.png

Thinking about it, could also be interlude videos for the tour.

:yeek:luv2:luv2 thank youuuu!

Still shooting.

She's using a new male dancer, Taka, here in the back:

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/7pKc9a.png

Eh Yo is out now in Japan (and another setting of the shooting it seems)!
Not a masterpiece, but a nice catchy song to enjoy and sing along.
Once in my head I can't forget, lol.
There's a really smooth bass line in the background of the song you can't hear without headphones.
Or only when listening really loud to it, haha.

Does Kumi still have these gift-boxes after concerts? i wanna make her something nice!

With so many incredible covers, I can't believe COME WITH ME and secret are on this list. :dead2

But I'm happy to see JUICY on the songs people wanna see performed live.

It's past 2 am and they're still going on with shooting.
It is a PV, but not sure for what song (Kuu revealed Taka was in the PARTY PV as well). They're talking about Eh Yo in the stories, cause it just was officially released.
But the set looks really nice indeed.
They even have trumpet/saxophone players for it (which would speak against Eh Yo).

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/P0wl1B.png

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...923/FCPmaD.png

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/OBjXoe.png

Looking a bit closer at the set and some of the signs seem to be made out of her song titles.
There's 好きで好きで好きで and Eh Yo, I think.
Not all of them though (one of the others e.g. says 太陽, sun).

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/urDlp1.jpg

The new Koda Gumi Issue is wonderful!!! The photos are stuning ��

Kuu's dark PVs usually don't turn out well. Looks like another HURRICANE or Watch Out color wise. :(

Thanks for all the updates, Corvina. A new PV means we should be getting some news about the material she has been working on soon.

Thanks for the poll results - always interesting to know what the Japanese fans think. Was happy to see Crazy 4 U up there for songs they want to be performed live.

https://i.imgur.com/oRc0r8C.gif

COME WITH ME as favorite cover..... Okay haha. I can't with them choosing COME WITH ME over feel my mind, COLOR OF SOUL, etc.

I have to say, a small concert with the songs they want to see live would be pretty good, only good tracks and none of them are really overperformed (well, except walk). Taisetsu na kimi e and Through the sky should really be performed more.

--

Loving pretty much everything from the new PV recording. Good set, pretty good style with the clothes and all. Judging the time it might be one of those 2 or 3 PVs recorded at the same day, like it happened with W FACE and DNA's PVs. Not sure if I like this since usually one of them is good, and the rest is just okay.

--

Eh Yo is a good song in HQ, but overall I think it's missing something, idk. I guess it's because the chorus is quite weak and sounds way too much like the rest of the song, it just doesn't pop enough.

From the off-shot video she posted, it is a PV for Eh Yo, cause of the hashtags she used.
So yeah, maybe we're getting two connected PVs again for Eh Yo and another song.
Probaby a dance song the other one, cause that cyberpunk vibe doesn't really fit with Eh Yo. :laugh

Kuu just said on her instagram that it's a PV indeed and that she wants it to be out soon (unless the translation is off).

Yeah, and in the hashtags she speaks of a new dance choreo everybody should find cool, which would speak against Eh Yo again.
And another interesting info: For Kuu Eh Yo is WIND chapter 2! :laugh

New announcement for the re(LIVE) tour!

They will offer a lottery for people attending the live to come on stage and make photos after the last shows ended. Commemorative photos you can take of the stage and with the stage.
As it's a tour staying at one venue for some time, they don't have time pressure to remove the stage and this is possible.
So far they announced it for the the two dates of Fukuoka and Osaka in October (see above).
Kuu or her dancers will NOT be present.
More details at a later date.

AND they just opened a special website for the re(LIVE) tour!
https://rhythmzone.net/koda/relive/

You can get a glimpse of the lightsticks already!
Eh Yo is connected to this tour.

I think that's fake, it says re(CORD) in the Eh Yo cover so I can't see why the album would be re(CODE) lol But I do like the idea, and not to mention those rumours always get me hyped up~

I really ADORE all of the looks she had on whatever she's recording. Hoping we don't get another video edit that makes me dizzy like Ultraviolet and WATCH OUT tho... And tbh it seems to me she's doing connected PVs again. That's not a bad thing itself, just hope it's well pulled off. Can't wait to see what's coming!

re(CODE) makes sense in terms of concept, but I'm always doubtful of low follower fan accounts.

I'm excited to see the tour goods. I hope we get some really cool shirts this year.

Ok, that fansite says it was up on the official site, but was deleted again. Guess we will see.

I think it’s fake, but I wish it’s not cause I kinda prefer (re)CODE than (re)CORD for the title. :D

It's kinda early to announce an album for october anyway, so let' wait and see how it goes.

Here is the UHQ Promo pic of Eh Yo:

I like re(CODE) or re(CORD) for album titles...but like, for a self-cover album specifically. re(CODE) would be a bomb name for an album like that!

ETA: I wouldn’t put it past her team to mix up the two names; anyone else remember “H for gin and tonic!” from the LOADED lyrics...? English is not a strong suit here lol and to be fair the two theoretical names basically sound the same in Japanese

I think H for gin and tonic was in the original demo, as if the person is so drunk that he doesn't know how to spell anymore, idk. Not that her team is free from stuff like that, like announcing two tracks (for UNIVERSE and Dejavu) with the name Believe even tho she already have one in Secret, or the infamous I wanna (be) dreaming now. haha

Can't imagine what kind of thing is that for Black Cherry stick light but the one for JAPONESQUE is probably a hand fan, which means no mini lantern again. :( Anyway it looks quite interesting!

Ah, forget to mention it before, but on the re(LIVE) special website Eh Yo is called the first digital release (of a series). So there's apparently more to come.

What do you mean?
Those are lights, just in the form of a telescope and a Japanese fan. You can even see the buttons where to switch them on.
If you mean those lanterns she had with Koda Kuma in the middle till 2014 - well, Koda Kuma is not her mascot anymore, so they don't use it.

^I think the problem was identifying it as a telescope.

I thought that everyone knew this! It's pretty clear, imo.

I need that fan.
