Thank you so much for the file as well!
But I don't have any audio when downloading the file.
Anybody having the same problems?

btw. have Internet again, so here's the MP3 for the Ai no Uta Live Soul version from Best Artists 2009:

thanks for the mp3
:love

I really enjoyed the performance

Fuko did the choreography for the FNS performance. She posted it on her instagram

IIRC last tour she was a dancer was in JAPONESQUE 2013, then she became a mom

That was a good performance, I loved BUT! :heart

New collab between Kuu and WOWOW, there will a lottery and people can win an exclusive tumbler.

http://i.imgur.com/AwUDgxP.jpg

And as I said before, the broadcast will be on 09.04.

At least I hope that the arabian writing style of this tumbler means a new arabian themed song.

4 HOT WAVE 2 ? :P

Isn't she using this arabian type for a while now?

I loved the live!! Her body is slayingggg. <3

^ iirc she's already used them on the first summer goodies of the tour yup

Sitting on a beer bottle again? Juicy :P

I think those kinds of pyramid symbols are just trendy. I feel like Kuu has moved past those kinds of songs (sadly).

Sadly Kuu is moving on from releasing songs period lol. Looking forward to the tour broadcast.

That FNS performance was pure gold. Flawless Queen. I've watched it like 5 times already - So Perfect.

KuuXAyu-fan Maybe they are trying a new strategy at avex to see if it can boost her sales? Like, giving people a little break from her releases and then release something big - e.g. 4 a-side single. I can only hope so. I can't believe we still don't have studio version of BRING IT ON... It's been what 2 years now. Crazy.

Anyway. I just re-read SANKYO news and realized that there won't be any new songs but videos only this time around. Boooooo. I was hoping for more songs like from FEVER LEGEND LIVE.

Just to finish with the buyee/tenso subject and how was my experience: it took less than two weeks to my package arrive, and it was SAL, so that was quite unexpected. The package was fine and everything, and the price was pretty much what I thought I was going to spend, so it's a good service after all.

Anyway, thank you guys for the help! And this is what I got, around 250 pages of Kuu's magazines:

I love all the Kuu-chan's goodies! Her team is really good creting it!

That round towel is amazing!!! I totally want this.

I love the bandanas :heart
the earrings are really nice too.

Does she turn to be a merchant, not a singer recently?
I'm joking but i can't stand releasing new musics.

cool goodies:luv2

l o l

hahaha I was looking at her mu-mo store and there's even underwear! :yeek i love it.

http://img-shop.mu-mo.net/images/9/A...9_t_01_400.jpg

^Queen of Everything, seriously. Music, Lives, Style, Merchandise, etc, etc.

Still I'd love to hear something about "the upcoming this year" 60th single...

As some people in another forum said, maybe it'll be released on Take Back's release date when her 17th anniversary begins

^I hope not x_x I really want new music...

But well, Kuu is focus on her japanese fans right now and I feel a bit disappointed, but I thinks it's normal.


I will be waiting for a new single / album / whatever u_u

There are so many unreleased songs now.. I'm really curious how they'll handle the release of all that

I kind of doubt we're getting any music this year. I think she may announce a new release in Jan or Feb of next year at the earliest.

The summer goods for the tour are also the goods for a-nation. Plus 3 new items for FC:
http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4687400516?...ngpost=0&pn=0&

42 dates of the tour are sold out.

I love it how with Kuu's tours most dates are always sold out before the tour even ends. It's a great thing and it makes me so proud of her. I bet she gets millions from this long ass tour. :D

Also, I wouldn't mind if she released something in December. It would be awesome. Even a mini album would be nice. :) Of course, I'm still obsessed with the songs she has released in 2015/2016 so far so if something isn't released, I'll just continue on listening to those. :)

Well, so far she's released 3 songs in 2016, Namie has released 4 so it's not a bad thing...? She's just behind the own pattern she set of always having a summer release, but maybe SUMMER of LOVE intended on ending this chapter of her career? Like, I don't mean she'll never do a summer release again, just that she doesn't feel the need of doing a maxi single every year anymore.

I guess we'll get some new music by the end of the tour or until December (I like the theory of the 17th anniv tbh), so for now I'll focus my energies on new songs from BASTILLE and OneRepublic and relax a bit on Kuu :laugh

I think a mini album would be cool. It's something she's never done before.

Mini compilation album a-nation 2015 BEST HIT SELECTION was released digitally last night

https://s32.postimg.org/y26l966id/ne...ge_1038583.jpg

a-nation 2015 BEST HIT SELECTION will be sold online until 6th Sept

1. Time goes by / Every Little Thing
2. Poppin' love cocktail feat. TEEDA / 倖田來未
3. SUMMER DAYS / Do As Infinity
4. EZ DO DANCE / TRF
5. LOVER / AAA
6. Summer diary / 浜崎あゆみ

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1038583

The songs that made the cut are not live recordings from past a-nation concerts

I wonder what's the reason why they chose Poppin' love cocktail though. Doesn't she have summer songs that are way more popular than that one? o.O

Exactly. It would be fun to see what kind of a "Koda Kumi Style" mini album could be like. She does have a lot diversity when it comes to music styles so a mini album with that type of diversity would be fun to see/hear. :) I personally believe that it would be great but then again, I love everything she does (but I tend to listen some of her songs to the point where I get annoyed lol)♥

Summer diary from Ayu is there as well, and it's not a hit at all.

I don't care for a mini album, to be honest. Her maxi-singles are her mini albuns. They are usually with 4 or 5 song anyways.

Hmm, I didn't notice Summer diary there at all. They probably just added these songs there because people do know about Ayu and Kuu probably more than those others on the list.

As for the mini album... I said it mostly because as much as I love her 2015 and 2016 songs, I still want new music from my queen and a mini album sounds like a great idea in my opinion. :D

I've been out of the Kuu loop for a while and tried to catch up via this thread, but I think I'm somehow missing the download link to her latest release. Did Shh! get put online at all? That's her most recent release right? Have I missed anything else since she released Walk of My Life? Thanks! :)

^she released SUMMER of LOVE and WINTER of LOVE as part of her 15th anniversary celebration, there are 3 new songs in SoL and 2 new songs in WoL. The rest is a collection of her best summer/winter songs

I also would like to ask for the complete Shhh! single including kimi omoi, both in mp3. anybody please! :3

I have my rip of the single but it's .m4a, if anyone wants it just shout out and I'll upload it to my Google Drive (and the copies are not here with to re-rip again, sorry)

Call me lucky..
Got to see Kuu & Kenji's baby boy in real life!
Got seated 4-5 meters away from Kuu's mom & son.

He has Kenji's long face and eyes.. Kuu's plump cheeks when she was younger.
But I guess he looks like Kenji than Kuu.

No new announcement from today's show.

Awwwwww! Sounds like you finally got better seats, girlfriend :P

Yeah, this time was better, but didn't get the confetti tape :( .. just 2-3 seats away.
Got 1st floor but close to the sound system area, so I could spot Kuu's mom & son sitting there, also some other dancers like U&G, Maiko (without make up!) and Fuuko.
My best seat was still Dejavu one... 1st floor, hall seat, 6th row

Omg that's so cool that you got to see them!! Kinda super jealous lol!!

Woah, the last date of the tour in Okinawa just went on sale and is already sold out!
This was fast, but the last date is always popular.
Plus another one sold out as well, so it's 44 sold out dates up to today.
This tour is a success.


@Lee^ChaN
Totally lucky, happy for you, especially as you're such a loyal Kuu fan, going to her lives every year for years now! :)
Would probably be distracted seeing her family near me. :laugh

Awesome! Doing better than Bon Voyage tour right? If I remember correctly Dejavu also had a lot of sold out dates.

I started scanning some of my magazines, if you guys want something in special just let me know. I have some inteviews from 2000 - 2004 btw.

thxx for the scans:love

wow, thanks for the scans, Kaled :heart

OMG Lee^ChaN

Really lucky indeed :heart So enyous! :laugh

I bet I'm the only one here who doesn't give fuck of what Kuu's kid looks like. :'D

^neither do I ...I gave up with when Namies son still was at opic

...are you looking for a Special Snowflake award or something? Your comment came off as super rude, FYI.

Not to purposely call you out but I noticed it's not the 1st time you have made comments in Kuu's thread which I might find offensive , insensitive if not rude

It's just that I didn't want to say anything but I feel what you said this time round cross the line especially when you're talking about Kuu's son

Granted , you have no interest in knowing out how he looks like (neither do I as his privacy should be respected) but I don't think it's necessary to use the f word in order to convey your opinion on this matter

Also please remember that I'm not the only 1 reading yours & other people's posts on here (not just in Kuu's thread but others within AHS) and I'm sure others might be offended on the choice of words you use

I would be grateful if you can rip in mp3 when you have your physical copy, and thank you so much in advance! <3

Kaled, thanks for the scans! she was so hot during Love me Back era

Kuu, please quench my (our?) thirst :dead2

I'll have it next week, in case no one rips it until then I'll surely do it then!

I confess I am a bit thirst too... Today I got an email from HMV saying there was a new Kuu release in August and I was like ''oMG WAAAAAAAAT" but it was just that nail stuff :dead2

Here you go, the single in mp3:

I saw her son because of that photo that it was taken when she was performing in Singapore iirc, and it didn't have blur on his face at all. I don't really care because it's her private life and I think she likes to keep all of those things in private (and that why I didn't even bother to save the picture and spread it all over the internet).

@maze I love her hairstyle during that era, it's so beautiful <3

Oh my god, thank you so much Corvina, Gustavo and Kaled, you guys are so great

Kaled: I know right! she looked mature yet sexy during that time, it reflected on her MAMA performance though the outfit was a bit unflattering imo

Fun performace of Twinkle, no Kuu tho.

Event will start at 5pm Japan time

Ansious for the setlist! Hoping for BUT and something from JAPONESQUE

I don't understand what's so wrong about being curious as to what a celebrity's kid looks like. As someone who can't wait to be a mother, I think it's understandable to be curious, as Kuu herself always seemed as keen as I am. I've always just liked kids. I totally respect that she wants to keep it private, and I'm not so crazy that I'm going to track it down. I don't stay up at night wondering and scouring the Internet lmao

SO EXCITED!! BUT IS A MUST.

SUMMER KUU FTW.

Still waiting for her a-nation setlist. Do As Infinity just ended their performance.
And I don't want BUT in the setlist. I love it, but it's overperformed and she not only performed it on TV recently, also at her current tour and last years tour.

After 4 months being released, Shhh! single is charting (again) on mu-mo:
http://imageshack.com/a/img924/3897/bQPuoX.jpg

I'd really like to know the sales of this single.
Too bad avex probably won't release them.

EDIT:
Alright, Kuu is now performing.
One Baidu user updates setlist.
First song is Mercedes.

01. Mercedes
02. UNIVERSE
03. WON'T BE LONG
04. IS THIS TRAP?
05. LOADED
06. Poppin' love cocktail

And that's it. TRF is now doing the finale.

The setlist is awful. :no She's singing the same songs since Summer Trip, I can't.

https://media.giphy.com/media/kZD8cN1MycfKw/giphy.gif

Updated tracklist:

01. Mercedes
02. UNIVERSE
03. WON'T BE LONG ~United Colors Remix~
-MC-
04. IS THIS TRAP?
05. LOADED
06. Poppin' love cocktail

Thanks to KodaKumiSpain @ Instagram

He even used the hoverboard just like Kuu hahah

If she don't want to show her son to the world why the hell would I try at every cost to see it? We should respect her decision. :)

EDIT:

Her stelist of FEVER a-nation by SANKYO:

1. Mercedes(御札有)
2. UNIVERSE
3. WON'T BE LONG
MC
4. IS THIS TRAP?
5. LOADED
6. Poppin' Love Cocktail

Source: @i9or3i from Twitter

Interested about Mercedes and the WONT BE LONG remix, the rest is more of the same... At least they're not songs I dislike :P

This photo as well as the ones from the other artists are from the a-nation offical facebook page:

I wonder if she's gonna use something different for the actual festival, this is not very 'summery' at all.

The setlist for the SANKYO a-nation performance is awesome. It just annoys me that Poppin' love cocktail is there and that there are no ballads included but at least Mercedes and WON'T BE LONG got performed so this isn't perfectly the same setlist from last year, haha.

Also, I like that black outfit very much. <3

I totally agree. It annoys me when people here are always so eager to see a sight of him. Kuu doesn't want to show him to the world so I have no interest in knowing anything else except the name and birth date. That's how much I respect Kuu's decision to keep that kid out of spotlight. I don't even care about what Namie's son (I only know his name and birth date too) looks like because he is kept out of spotlight, too. That's all the information I know and I'm perfectly fine knowing nothing else because their private lives should stay private no matter what. I think people needs to learn to deal with this and stop bitching on those who aren't interested in these things lol.

I'm not a fan of the setlist . Kuu should have done her older Summer inspired works & let alone Shhh! as the general public assume she has not released anything new this year (even though technically she did , sorta)

Although props to her looking fantastic as ever in that black outfit , she looks great

she loks good like always:luv2

The official setlist was

1．Mercedes
2．UNIVERSE
3．WON'T BE LONG～Red Cherry Version～
4．IS THIS TRAP？
5．LOADED feat．Sean Paul
6．Poppin’love cocktail

http://mdpr.jp/music/detail/1602705

The setlist could've been better, that's for sure. I don't really mind it tho, except for LOADED and Poppin' love cocktail, over time I've come to dislike these songs live.

I love Mercades live, I enjoy it so much more than when listening to the album. Glad to see it on the set list.

I don't think any one here is "eager" or "trying at every cost". That's an exaggeration. I would say everyone respects her decision to keep him out of the spotlight. No one is hounding her or taking pictures. No one is losing sleep searching the Internet. A brief description is harmless. We also respect that there are people who don't care, but I don't think our idle chit chat that happens once and a while hurts anyone. It wasn't us that started the bitching, we just stood up for ourselves when others started bitching unnecessarily.

The setlist seems nice enough! I do love Loaded and Poppin Love Cocktail!

I hope she changes everything for the outdoor stadium concert ~_~ her summer lives are not as fun as they used to be, sadly

I like the setlist, if i would have been there i would have been thrilled the whole time since all songs are moodmakers

+1

I don't like this setlist, why doesn't she sing other songs like 'Come With Me', 'Dreamin' Now!' or i don't know, 'Choi Tashi Life!' -for say something- ? At least for a little change xD

UNIVERSE is one of my favorite Kuu songs, so I'm happy to see that song on the setlist, but other than that.... :no

I like the songs on the setlist but I think the main problem is that she has been doing them so frequently in recent times it's getting repetitive

I would love to see her older Summer inspired songs on the list which would bring back great nostalgic memories

===

From Facebook



https://facebook.com/KodaKumiOfficia...482413/?type=3

I don't mind IS THIS TRAP? and UNIVERSE getting overly performed lol. Those songs are perfect♥

I actually really like and respect the celebs that don't make money on their kids or family or relations, I think it is wise. I guess in Japan they repsect it too, I think it's kinda common there.
Namie Amuro doesn't show Haruto too, but he must be going to school and then uni soon, I wonder if anybody even knows, like, in his class or something, that his mom is a jpop singer, or maybe he studies abroad?

I love how all the metallic parts of her outfit match so well. It's like she took some inspiration from past outfits and took it to a higher fashion level, I just love it.

From LINE:



Summer is here and she wishes everboy a nice one.

I think he studies abroad cause I remember a magazine where he son said something about her English?

Just saw the TV report and she even used the same screen projections as WALK OF MY LIFE Tour. I wish she have created something new for a-nation, with a new surprise. But I'm happy with whatever Kuu does. :)

The setlist is pretty similar to last year's a-nation:
01. UNIVERSE
02. Is This Trap?
03. Money In My Bag
04. Megumi no hito
05. Bring It On
06. BE MY BABY
07. LOADED (feat. Sean Paul)
08. Poppin' love cocktail (feat. TEEDA)

As is Ayu, duh.
Kuu performed Mercedes, which only was performed there at the tpour before. And I do think the setlist for a-nation stadium will be different as it's the main a-nation show.

Btw. Kuu had another money rain for her part of the show:

Thanks to Elcra from Baidu

And Kuu and Yuki from TRF after the show:
http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640...924/6TJu84.jpg

From TRF Yuki's Instagram

I can see a diferent setlist for a-nation' stadium as well. I mean, not thaaat different, probably she'll keep 3~5 songs out of this setlist.

Yuki said that Kuu always goes to her dressing room and it's been a tradition for her to go and eat her bento there haha

Kuu's style is always on point. Even when she's dressed super casually.

I feel like I've seen her in that BIG shirt before. Or maybe it's just that everyone is into 90s rappers these days. Not that I don't like 90s hip hop, but I am a West Coast kinda girl.

omg that's so cute :heart

I think it'd be cool if Kumi added To Be One to her setlist - I always find that song kinda Summer-y.

She used the same backdrop from Trick Tour during bling bling bling during the last time she performed the song on a-nation, so yeah, she likes to do this quite often.

I loove that song and its a total summer Bop

I've always loved To be one!! It was the third kuu song I've ever listened to, so it's super special to me. I think it's well produced too.
