Other than that, she was in the studio a lot during July and early August, but she seems to be on some kind of summer break these days. Guess she'll be announcing stuff soon! Also, there was a rumour around twitter about a concert on her 40th birthday, iirc there was an arena/hall (?) which had the date reserved for Kumi according to its website. But I dont remember the details and the tweet got deleted :P |
Quote:
The other is Budokan. No official announcement yet, which is probably the reason the fan deleted it again. Her Japanese fans are pretty strict with that. Here is the event site wih the dates, it's still there. KODA KUMI SPECIAL SHOWCASE 2022 - 13th November https://www.livebu.com/event/453464 KODA KUMI SPECIAL SHOWCASE 2022 - 2nd December https://www.livebu.com/event/453462 We will see if it is going to be true. Kuu did tease another event around her anniversary date this year. |
I'm watching Love & Songs 2022 and it's so good, I wasn't that much into the new album but the new songs sound so much better live, I also watched the Premium Symphonic Concert 2022 but even though it was nice it kinda lacked the energy. I never managed to finish watching the 20th anniversary concert so Love & Songs 2022 is first since re(live) 2019 that I can fully enjoy.

Kuu today performed at Kishidan Banpaku 2022

So...I just happened to come across this random person's video on YouTube showing bits of Kuu's show in Montreal back in early August. First I heard of it (late September).
I honestly don't know what to think. WTF kind of promotion is that? I would've killed to have been there; I'm barely 2 hours away from Montreal. Someone explain to me the logic behind this whole "keeping it a secret" thing. I was rather annoyed (to put it mildly) not to have heard of this until now. |
^ A few months ago Kuu went to France , London & Canada to perform as part of blank paper
blank paper is a collaboration between her & BACK-ON which her husband Kenji is in the band I have no idea why up to now avex don't want to outright promote blank paper but if you're in the know in Kuu's fandom then blank paper is something that has been going on for a while Then again when blank paper performed overseas , they did performed a few Kuu songs other than original band material but even with the rather over the top disguise , it's quite obvious it's Kuu , vocals wise x) |
KODA KUMI 21ST→22ND ANNIVERSARY EVENT will take place on 6th Dec (Kuu's debut date) at Tokyo Dome City Hall

I'm quite excited about this concert, hopefully there will be a new release around it so she can promote it! Would love a new EP with Trust Last, Winds, It's K Magic and some other songs, or even a new cover album~ I'm always down for those!
|
Oh, nothing updated almost a month ��

Yeah, she's been pretty quiet on official releases...
She teased a new song on insta, saying she finished recording a song she wanted to record for quite some time already, which makes me think it's either a cover or a collab. But since she was also at her home studio, a cover seems more likely to me. And also on instagram, she said she did a lot of shooting these days, with many sides of "Koda Kumi" being shot, but we don't know if it's music related, and if by "shooting" she meant pics or videos. But she did imply she'll announce it at the anniversary live, so I guess until there we won't have much news from her? Hope Trust Last gets a proper release soon as well. |
Honestly I'm hoping for her next studio album by end of the year. Btw, is "It's K Magic" an official song?
Also I know I'm probably in the minority, but I'm not getting into "Trust Last". |
I am not either, I hope a full version make it sound less chaotic, seems like chunks of the song were chopped off. But then the song might as well be like that in the end...
And I see It's K Magic as an official song, just with no release plans like Bring It On which was performed live for years before getting a studio version. |
I dunno if anyone already saw, but the new merchandise is announced and on mu-mo for preorder. I already preordered the long sleeve tee, bomber jacket, bucket hat and neck warmer for myself. :heart
I wanted that light up neon sign too :luv2 but too expensive for my budget. LOL https://rhythmzone.net/koda/goods/detail.php?id=1002073 |
I love the colors for these goodies, finally we are getting more than just black and white hahahah Hope this also applies to whatever shooting she was doing these days and the covers/sleeves of upcoming releases. Such a looong way until December 6th, hopefully we'll get something until there.

Excited!!
The preorder is up on Yesasia: https://www.yesasia.com/global/wings...0-en/info.html But nothing in cdjapan |
2022 FNS Kayousai will take place on 7th & 14th Dec
Kuu will perform on 7th Dec https://twitter.com/KODAKUMINET/stat...55743102357504 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fhn-E-Ta...jpg&name=small https://twitter.com/fns_kayousai/sta...23478435237889 No word for now what Kuu will perform but considering Aoi Shouta & Mizuki Nana are also performing on the same day as her , maybe either 1 will perform together with Kuu again ? If not maybe with Kudo Shizuka ? Quote:
~_~ |
Quote:
Anyway if Yesasia have the album for sale overseas, why not CDJapan? I hope they will put for preorder in the future. |
Excited about the WINGS physical release, I might get the mu-mo version cause a friend will be in Japan this January... I just hope it will still be up for pre-orders when we know the address he'll be staying at :P
Also glad she'll be again at FNS, I always love her performances there especially when she is singing with other artists. Would love to see her performing Blue Velvet with Kudo Shizuka, and maybe they can also sing Ai no uta or another song of hers? Or even a duet with ayu *dreaming too much* |
Quote:
It's the same with YesAsia & also HMV Japan (which I did received the order email from them about WINGS last Sun) I'm on the fence in getting WINGS via mu-mo especially since I downloaded the full billboard classics KODA KUMI Premium Symphonic Concert 2022 that WOWOW aired on Aug & it probably be the same concert included in the physical release Also charging 11,000 Yen for the fanclub version of WINGS doesn't felt it's worth the price Anyway , this's not the 1st time Kuu made her PVs fanclub exclusive which eventually were re-included in her studio album too Even the non fanclub version of WINGS is not cheap either . 5,500 Yen is a studio album release price & both non fanclub versions of heart are + angel / monsteR 2 CDs & DVD are sold for 6,600 Yen each Let alone I'm sure the other 4 songs in WINGS will be available digitally avex has been losing $ the last few years which their financial situation worsen further when the pandemic happened & for them to do the whole 'cannot allow overseas customers to buy their artistes' releases' , it's ironic to say the least |
The FC version also comes in a special package and includes a photobook, so it's not like the extra bucks are only for the rest of the symphonic concert. And yeah the concert is the same one that aired but probably it'll have a different edition? Usually the TV versions and their final releases have some differences and fixing (even tho this one doesnt need fixes at all lol)
|
Why they do this I don't get it, fans will buy it anyway from a japanese proxy
|
Quote:
And also the editing but as to how different or similar it will be edited it's hard to tell for now Anyway Kuu is not the only artiste that's facing this issue ie. including more contents in her fanclub releases Others are also in the same plight as her & this seems to increase more after the pandemic happened Prior to that , avex could have invested in other artistes instead of relying on Ayu , Kuu , LDH to try to stop financial bleeding from happening I'm sure billboard classics KODA KUMI Premium Symphonic Concert 2022 could have been a standalone release but I guess avex has other plans :s |
ayu and koda preform at the same night?
iconic. |

So happy with everything, from the live album to all these announcements!! I feel like this tour will be what W FACE wish it had been hahahah
|
Such a good fan club edition! Excited about that!
Not super glad about her doing Ai no Uta again. I’d be happy if she did you like back in 2020. I loved that and innocent starter that she did with Nana Mizuki. Or another one of her many winter songs. Or a medley like Ayu likes to do. |

So excited about the new album and tour !!

1. I am happy to know Wings will have interlude and would be happier if there would be also Introduction. Kumi never disappoints me on them.
2. Not sure if I should be happy 2 lives on the day, it would be happy for fans who can spend whole day with her but care about her health. After re(live), her voice seems to be damaged a lot. 3. Is there setlist for her anniversary live? |

I really love the koda gumi kanji thing on the new merchandise. Such a cool throwback to when she had it on a ton of her merchandise back in the day. Already preordered a couple shirts and the bath towel. :D
|
^ I thought the same! So tempted to buying the towel and shirt, but I also loved the other regular shirts and wont be able to afford all of that PLUS the mini album lol

https://twitter.com/KODAKUMINET/stat...99795182198784 Much as I want to buy the non fanclub version of WINGS to support Kuu , I will not do so Especially since I already have the full billboard classics KODA KUMI Premium Symphonic Concert 2022 file that WOWOW aired back in Aug Would have been nice if avex included backstage or behind the scene footages for it but no such luck And chances are both Wings & Trigger PVs will be included in a future studio album of hers just like what happened to SUMMER OF '21 , Dance In The Rain & MONEY IN MY BAG but if that didn't happen , I'll be really surprised |
I don't think those will be on an album cause it's not being marketed as a single. Sometimes avex turns mini's into singles and put the tracks on albums afterwards, but Kuu didnt do that before, so I don't expect it now...
I was tempted on getting the FC version more cause of the poster and two photobooks bonus, to me those are even more interesting than the show cause as you said it's already aired and I have it on my hard drive :P |
Are they selling tickets to the international FC for this one?

Afaik they don't sell tickets at the global FC this time.
Don't know why cause they did again for the anni live as Japan is open for tourists again. Maxbe becsuse of the extra regulations. Though tickets are hard to get anyway. EDIT: We don't know for sure, but I assume we will get some kind of live stream again. With the anni live we had the number of people, who bought a ticket and watched (around 63k). That's a nice number and explains why we got a (paid) live stream for pretty much everything she did in recent years. I mean, she does make some millions with the streams alone. So with the limited amount of tickets for this tour, it's reasonable to expect this again, I think. Only question is with what service.... after avex closed their own service (mu-mo streaming), she changed with every stream. We talked on the Discord about it and KyuLeon counted 17 different streaming services for her tours and special performances! |

I remember W face tour. I was in Japan and could buy the ticket at Family Mart a day before Hiroshima round. Besides, I saw the ticket booth outside the hall too. My seat was at the third floor, far but didn't mind because the venue was not that big as well. I am planning about this tour in March at Osaka, but just want to make sure about the ticket. |

This hall tour is much shorter than W FACE, which had 60 dates. |

That wouldn't happen anytime soon Fanclub ticket balloting for KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2023 ~angeL&monsteR~ will close next Tue night |
Do you know if I cannot attend concert because I cannot get the ticket, will I be able to buy tour merches at the venue?
I already planned to visit Fukuoka in May. Hopefully, I can ask my friend in Japan to help me get the public sale ticket after ticket balloting will close next Tue night. |
Quote:
There will be one for playroom after that (and hopefully for the global FC, too) and usually there are 2nd rounds for all her FCs if there are tickets left. Only after that will be a regular ticket sale. |
Quote:
If not , you most definitely can buy the tour goods at the concert venue despite having no concert ticket on hand However since fans could preorder the tour goods online , there's a possibility certain items will not be sold at the concert venue due to overwhelming demand As for buying concert tickets via the general sale , you have to wait until all the fanclub ticket balloting is over then you see if there're any leftover tickets available Right now it's still hard to tell if you can do that or not |
Thank you for all answers to my post from everybody :)

Change my future is now available digitally
The digital release date of Change my future coincides with the movie release of Kamen Rider Geats × Revice: Movie Battle Royale Kuu wrote Change my future https://i.ibb.co/Dr6rtHn/Change-my-future.jpg https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1105071 https://twitter.com/KODAKUMINET/stat...42675240370178 |
Love the new song! Very chill in the same vein as Wings which I am digging lately. Curious as to why this just wasn’t included on the EP.
|
Trust Last from the Kamen Rider series also didnt make it to the EP, I guess they'll be released later on in a full album? Or maybe another EP with a different theme... Would be cool to see a summer release~
|
That true. I hope more comes out with blank paper as well! Their latest song is also pretty good!

I am so mad that blank paper catalogue is still so small... what are they even waiting for? They toured across the ocean already and yet nothing came out after it... Hope this doesnt turn into a shelved project :(

Ku looks SO DAMN GOOD!
|
Change my future is so good, I miss songs like that, her vocal is so delicate especially at the beginning, insta love.
|
Change my future is totally different from what I was expecting lol Thought it's be anisong-like or just rockish, but it's a nice chill pop tune. A pity it won't be on WINGS (cause tbh I dont feel like buying trust last lol)
|
There's now a ticket round for the global Koda Gumi together with the one for playroom for people interested!
Change my future is such an amazing song. And unexpected, the way it is. Indeed a big surprise considering what it's the theme song for. The single is probably going to be her best charting release in a long time, doing well on amazon and Co. |

Love the clearfile pics, makes me wonder if the backcover of WINGS will actually be an alternative cover like she did for Promise/Star and Suki de/Anata dake ga instead of an usual backcover. Would fit very well the concept.

She started it with feel my mind and never dropped it totally lmao x) one could even argue it started even before, both affection and grow into one have shoots with Kuu on mirrors... but those are not dual in the yin-yang sense as she usually did after,

I guess as an album, maybe the interlude was added to reach a length criteria?
and she looks stunning for this video, even if it's just this outfit and "scenario" I will absolutely adore it. |
Hi guys, I would like to share with you some remixes that I made for the "Change my future" song.
I can't wait for her new album, and remixing some of her new songs. :luv2 |
I absolutely love the images I've seen with this release. Even the images of the bonus items. Just I must admit that I'm disappointed that the bonus items are just post cards and a clear file. I preordered the FC edition and was hoping for something nicer and more useful. Honestly I miss the days when Japan was giving out stuff like posters and such all the time. The WINGS image would definitely look amazing framed on my wall. :heart
|
^ Other artistes such as B'z & GRANRODEO still give away a wide variety of bonus items for their releases such as Bromide photos , mega jacket covers of the release , keychains , ticket holder & etc
I guess Kuu could have done that but I think she decided not to When you have too many choices , the bonus item giveaway sometimes turn out to be the main reason in you getting it & not the actual release itself Golden Bomber also said the same thing for their upcoming new album that will drop next month on 8th Feb too Quote:
|
@KarenPang Yeah I can definitely see that happening a lot. Personally I'd get Kuu's release no matter what. Truth be told though, I'm now at a point in my life where I'd rather turn down a non-useful bonus item or not get one at all versus having something I'll most likely need to sell or throw out. I just dislike clutter in my home. I used to keep promo slips, obi strips etc. Now I just toss em. The clear files I have been using to sort personal stuff, so at least that's something I'd have a use for. Plus I do love the design. I will however admit that I have wanted a newer Kuu poster on my wall for quite awhile. Lol

Is being a member of the Koda Gumi global fanclub enough, like for TA global fanclub ? I'd love to attend her next tour (she was never touring when I was in Japan before, bad timing), so I'm really thinking about joining the global fanclub for tickets... |
@thinkingoutloud I keep the ones that fit inside the case. I have had a few that don't though cause of their unusual large size. I've purchased used Jpop CDs online many times and can't control whether or not I get 'em with obi strips. In fact, my used copy of A BALLADS came without the slip cover which kinda disappointed me.
@Sim I've joined the FC and get notices right away about tours and merchandise etc. This is also how my friend got tickets for Kuu's 2019 Tour. I do recommend it. Also if you do want to purchase her albums and/or merchandise then I recommend signing up for the mu-mo ID+ as well. You'll earn some points to save you a little money here and there. |

This time, she keeps this album secretly quite good. Nothing leaks or even PVs released for months til the anticipation is less by time. I admit I am excited to Wings more than other albums in years even though I don't like the song -Wings- or the cover much
