^oh I wasn't making fun of him! just the he reminded me of ku's voice somehow! they look very lovely!

I really enjoyed both performances. Kuu looked and sounded great in both, and it's amazing how different her voice can be, her lower register in GOLDFINGER was everything. And it's always great to see a positive reaction from the public, so happy for her.

Happy 19th debut anniversary , Kuu :spazzed

I wasn't offended by what you wrote about Aoi Shouta's voice , don't worry about it

@ALfromHELLSING #1 is a #1 to them, I guess. lol And thanks! I need to get back in doing more covers, maybe do something for re(CORD) or even finish the rest of the singles.

Last update:

I'm counting Eh Yo and LIT single versions, since they are part of the albums but the "new version" are there for the album tracklist.

It's a matter of time to GWIB to surpass Ai no Uta there, the Black Clover fandom did that.

Ah, absolutely no chance to buy any of the goods, just like I feared.
Jacket, pullover, lightstick, totebag, socks, mirror pouch are all sold out.
mu-mo started to sell in the middle of the night here, but I know from Japanese fans that e.g. the jacket and the totebag sold out within a minute, so I wouldn't have had a chance either way.
Why don't they produce more in the first place - waiting for restock.

Here's the goods line some hours ago at the venue.
And the first live is just starting in 3 three hours.
Though they stressed the fact everybody can come and buy goods without a ticket (it's always like that), probably cause they wanted less people to buy from mu-mo.

Kuu posted on Insta that they already restocked the jacket at least!
She apparently got messages from fans about it - I follow one who happily posted about Kuu reacting so quick to one of the messages she sent.
So the jacket is available again on mu-mo!

Kuu also got a small surpise already:

The woman on the far right is Takana, her manager (yeah, the one she made that amnotic fluid joke to).
Very rare to see her before a camera.

The 2nd will be different.

Big thanks to Kota. on Twitter!

First part of the live was apparently just talking.
The best concert voted by her fans is LOVE & SONGS.
The best concert voted by her staff is UNIVERSE.

Nice pick of songs, even if they went for a simple performance. Hope the second live event is just as good.

First photo shared by Kuu herself.

Just noticed - I think the fan means the Budokan live Love & Songs from 2012, cause the Billboard live was fully called Eternity ~Love & Songs~ like the cover album.
And if you look at the medley:
Step Into My World ~ Got To Be Real ~ECSTASY ~ 走れ!~ You're So Beautiful are all songs from the UNIVERSE Tour setlist, while 愛のことば~Rain ~POP DIVA were performed at the Budokan Love & Songs live.
UNIVERSE and Comes Up were performed at both.

Those must be results from the FC voting, cause the only question they didn't publish the results for in the last FC magazine was the one about the favourite live.

They've just announced additional dates for re(LIVE) tour in Osaka and Nagoya in February 2020!
Now it makes sense Kuu posted in her stories she wants to go see her Nagoya fans again cause she hasn't in a while in her stories this morning.

FC lottery starts December 12.

-------------------------------------

They've started to upload her full PVs on her official youtube account in celebration of entering her 20th anniversary year.

Big thanks again to Kota. on Twitter.

Best concert voted by her fans is TRICK.
Best concert voted by her staff is WALK OF MY LIFE.

Her husband and her dancers were surprise guests.

I was surprised to see the videos in kus forgotten channel. I was thinking that is she should release a Besto it wouldn’t be such a bad idea being 2020.

Ooh, I hope they recorded it and release it, wanna see this so bad :heart Thanks for the info, Corvina!!

You're welcome. Would really like to have it, too, but as most of it was talk, chances are probably not very high.
According to fan reports they also showed old footage in between.

I do hope with Love & Songs being popular among her fans, that she's inspired to add underperformed and old songs to her setlist next year.
Or making a poll again for her fan's most favourite songs like for Love & Songs.
Which is probably the reason it is so popular in the first place. :laugh

Yaaas for trick. Would love to see the show as well

I can't believe she sang TRICK again! I always wanted to know about TRICK lyrics and a studio version fot ir!

Love & Songs was always a unique concert series, and I'm happy it is being appreciated.

Kenji making an appearance is sweet. Did all her dancers appear, like her old ones? That's wonderful if they did.

The fans I follow on Twitter that went all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the event. It would be nice to see some footage at some point as some here have said.

Glad to also see her make up that cancelled concert in Osaka, but wasn't expecting those in Nagoya. I wonder if demand is high that it will lead to more additional dates there.

Only her current dancers it seems.

The alternate date for the cancelled Osaka concert is February 1st.
So we have 3 dates and 6 concerts in February now.

February 1st - Osaka Orix Theater - replacement
Noon - Black Cherry
Evening - JAPONESQUE
February 2nd - Osaka Orix Theater - additional date
Noon - JAPONESQUE
Evening - Black Cherry
February 29th - Aichi Prefectural Art Theater in Nagoya - additional date
Noon - Black Cherry
Evening - JAPONESQUE

Love & Songs was an one-night-only concert at Budokan.
Or what do you mean by series?

http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800...921/70rxgp.png

Love & Songs was an arena concert series. I'm pretty sure sure it was more than just one date.

According to kumiloves there were seven dates for Premium live ~Love & Songs~
And they shot for the DVD the date on her birthday

I was there, i tried only the 13th, but there was also Other days, i can remember
