Here's a little bigger one but with a water mark :P

Corvina 31st October 2020 12:05 AM

Hiroto Kuramasu is a producer and professional Japanese cosplayer and in his line of work one of the producers of the Senpai Club.
He's actually the one working on getting Kuu on the show as he's a big fan of her for half his lifetime!
He wrote a 5 page long essay to the company behind the show to make it possible! :laugh

https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-iDhqB...d=7r593ryzmd9p

In the Japanese part of his post he's mentioning that the episodes with her are going to be uploaded in 4 parts every week starting on her 20th anniversary day December 6th.

Working mainly to produce stuff for overseas, his English is fantastic.
We can be sure he's going to translate the English questions well into Japanese.

KuuXAyu-fan 31st October 2020 04:07 AM

Looks like both the DVD and Blu-Ray fanclub bundles are sold out. Both have disappeared from the shop. Glad I pre-ordered in time.

Interesting. Both are missing from the global fanclub shop. Hope they didn't cancel orders lol

minkAYuko 31st October 2020 09:46 AM

Guys did you buy the blu-ray version using World shopping or mu-mo, cause I see that there's no option for overseas users with mu-mo and the "world shopping" doesn't appear on the fc versions on mu-mo

:/

chocopockymaster 31st October 2020 05:20 PM

Hmmm. I’ll reserve judgment until I hear the version with vocals.

Not sure how often people are frequenting the Downloads section these days but I ripped all of the videos from the fan club version of re(CORD) and posted them over the past couple of days...hope you enjoy :) And thanks to tony for posting the playroom mu-mo shop links a couple of weeks back so I could finally get my hands on this beauty!

Diva_br 31st October 2020 06:41 PM

^ Oh! :0 Thank you so much!

In these days I will ordering mine, I ask a friend to buy my copy ; ;

kaled kalil 31st October 2020 07:23 PM

I got all the making of/documentary, thank you so much for ripping 'em! :) It was nice seeing the recording process of the album, funny how k, was still referred as its original demo name "Cake", even tho she didn't look that excited talking about before the PV recording haha.

Even if it has been almost a year after the release I still love re(CORD), so I'm hoping that some of the freshness that the album had with some of the songs (like OMG) are still there for Angel+monsteR.

Gustavopc 31st October 2020 07:41 PM

Thanks a lot for the pics, guys!!

Wait, the FC version isn’t being released at all? Or are they just cancelling it for overseas members like they did for re(CORD)?

Diva_br 2nd November 2020 04:03 PM

^ It's only the FC editions for overseas.
The other versions appears at the FC Shop, or maybe they will cancel all? That explain why they put the EP at CDJapan at least.

Well... I'm just gonna cancel my subscription.
I mean, whats the point? They don't update the blog, I can't buy FC products... I'm sad.
And I know that we don't pay the same as japanese fans but it feels like we don't deserve be fans either support Kuu ; n ;

minkAYuko 2nd November 2020 06:22 PM

^ well it's over u_u, if they had the products out there for other stores they wouldn't have to worry about shipping right? maybe it's a big product or heavy it'll be super expensive I guess. Or maybe it's the pandemic? too much waiting.

I'll guess I'll have to wait and do the "ahoy" thing! xD

lovethatkuu&ayu 2nd November 2020 08:07 PM

That's unfortunate, but we can only speculate really.

With Covid cases rising in the United States sharply and the United Kingdom going into a lockdown, it could be the Japanese postal service restricting international shipments again. I've never ordered from the FC shop, but I would assume it would be mailed through the Japanese postal system.

chocopockymaster 2nd November 2020 09:13 PM

But it sounds like it’s only the FC editions that are getting cancelled.

It’s fishy as hell tbh

Diva_br 2nd November 2020 09:43 PM

If the issue is the COVID or copyright again, then they should cancel all the overseas orders (CD, CD+DVD) but they only cancel the FC editions, so... it's another thing.

A new PV for Suki de, Suki de, Suki de ~Urusei Yatsura Collaboration Version~ is out, basically is an AMV, but it has images from the manga. In the description it says that Kumi has been a fan of the story and that she likes Ramu-chan, and some other things.



Work, I guess. Why couldn't it be for a new song? Whatever.

KuuXAyu-fan 6th November 2020 03:48 AM

ILoveGeniuses 6th November 2020 04:44 AM

this amv is such a stupid reason to cancel the FC edition preorders for 2 reasons I can think of atm. Firstly, my cousin owns this series. She bought the series here in Canada years ago so it was released internationally. Two, the AMV is already on YouTube for people to watch globally.

Diva_br 6th November 2020 04:59 AM

I hope that is not the reason, but if it is, yes, it is very stupid.But it could be that they only paid for "domestic use" rights (I don't know if that's what it's called, but probably is the same thing as the Sean Paul's dong, with copyright within the national territory?)

minkAYuko 6th November 2020 06:00 AM

Ew... definitely I’ll torrent this...

Corvina 6th November 2020 08:04 AM

Kuu's three photobooks are being released for digital purchase starting today!
November 6th Maroc, November 17th KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2009 ~TRICK~ photo collection and Novemver 24th Brazil for 2200 Yen each (without tax) on all e-book stores like amazon, Rakuten kobo, Sevennet and so on.
News is out everywhere, e.g. here.

Also a new round of Kloop goods for Round 1 game centers are being released on Kuu's birthday November 13th:
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/6...922/P9KFVL.jpg

Regarding the new Suki de MV and the FC edition - well, rights for the manga might not be cheap or even the mangaka Rumiko Takahashi herself might have a say in this, how it's going to be monetised (ok on youtube, but not ok for avex to make bigger money through it with a release worldwide?).
Takahashi is one of the most famous Japanese mangaka in Japan and one of the richest Japanese persons altogether...
Great collab for Kuu tho as it's a wide known and popular old manga.

She picked Suki de for it as the lyrics fit the best to the story.
Kuu directly worked with Rumiko Takahashi for this and Takahashi thinks Suki de is a powerful and fitting ballad.

Guess they might have worked on this collab for a longer time and now that it was made possible they simply put it on the next release being out as a special, lol.

KarenPang 6th November 2020 11:50 AM

As a Kuu fan for quite a long time , this's a mixed bag of emotions on this matter

It feels as though avex overlooks the fact that Kuu have fans outside of Japan , not just domestically in the country

Joining any artiste's fanclub , it's supposed to be a good happy thing

But when you're unable to buy the fanclub releases due to wide variety of reasons while you're in the fanclub itself , it contradicts why you join the fanclub in the 1st place

If you're not in the fanclub but you couldn't do that , then that's different

I could say more about this but I leave it as so

kaled kalil 6th November 2020 01:33 PM

It if was for something interesting, it could be justified, but it's just a glamourized AMV, and might not even be for the full song. lol I wasn't planning on buying the FC version, but this is very bad.

chocopockymaster 6th November 2020 02:02 PM

I cannot believe a fucking anime MV that is wholly unrelated to ANYTHING ELSE ON THESE MINI ALBUMS is why they’ve gone and made the FC unavailable to overseas members.

avex can get bent, honestly, like who even asked for this in the first place?????

True & if it's a 1 off thing then ok that probably could be overlooked

But it already happened to re(CORD) last year & now the 2 mini albums so it could happen again in future :x

Gustavopc 6th November 2020 03:37 PM

Two years in a row and her team is having problems with overseas copyrights... never would expect that from an artist with almost 20 years of career. I mean assuming they didnt know beforehand and simply do not care about overseas fans.

thinkingoutloud89 6th November 2020 04:22 PM

Oversea fans don't bring any money. its just a very small fraction so there is nothing to force here.

kaled kalil 6th November 2020 04:44 PM

Since the Global FC is pretty much abandoned, I believe they just don't care.

kaled kalil 6th November 2020 06:04 PM

To be honest I always felt that FC is something that should have stayed in the 2000s. It is no different than famous people doing OnlyFans nowadays.

Maybe I feel this way because the way things are sold in her FC are pretty much tie-in sales, which are prohibited by law in Brazil.

Indeed. And as Kaled pointed out I feel like it already came a bit too late, it was around HOTEL that it went global iirc? I regret renewing earlier this year so much... I think I'll just do it again when I have plans to go to Japan again and that might happen only in 2023 or later. A pity.

And omg 13 years from LAST ANGEL means it's almost 13 years since I became a fan of hers, I remember it had been just a while the song had been released. Almost half of my life. The nostalgia is making me feel a little less mad her now hahahaha

jean-baptiste 6th November 2020 07:02 PM

When I saw the FC release, I was actually planning to join for the first time. The irony.

Diva_br 6th November 2020 07:13 PM

You can look at it the other way round, too.
Why should they pay for worldwide rights if only a bunch of the FC edition is sold overseas through her FC?
It's not profitable.

Their big mistake is and was tho that they put it up for preorder although it wasn't setteled at that time and now they have to cancel.
Could have prevented that with waiting like with what they told CDJapan in the beginning and then put it up later after negotiation and only putting it on the FC edition.
Still sucks for overseas fans not being able to directly buy it ofc.

Gustavopc 6th November 2020 08:06 PM

Yup, you're pretty much right, it should have never been put to pre-order in the first place :/ But it looks messy to start selling something and decide to add stuff like this. In the end I know overseas fans arent that many but it's frustrating cause it's not just a product in a shop, cause I pay a signature to that shop and can't buy it. Probably it's not even worth the trouble of making an overseas fc version so they just canceled it all. A pity.

It seems to be Kumi's standard to announce albums while still finishing them tho. I can recall that happening in the last years, so maybe that's part of the problem.

ILoveGeniuses 6th November 2020 09:23 PM

I'm honestly surprised LAST ANGEL MV was added since Tohoshinki aren't together as the full 5 members they originally were when this came out. Still I'm super happy the MV is up on YouTube now. I still remember the day that the single arrived at my door. However I think my most fondest Kuu memory is when my copy of TAKE BACK first arrived at the end of January 2001. I heard it for the first time from an exchange student at my school 2 weeks beforehand and immediately went and ordered my copy after school that day.

Darkifrit 7th November 2020 09:31 AM

^ Woow! Nice to see some people here were able to support Kuu from the start!

digital photobooks are nice, but you know what I really want? the japonesque photobook that was released w the album in HQ and live performances (also (re)live). it is her best look and tour imho.


also I have to laugh about the urusei yatsura × suki3 situation. it is SO random. an old song with an even older manga. i love rumiko,l and urusei yatsura, but this makes no sense. sorry to all who can't get their FC editions bc of this mess.

Corvina 8th November 2020 11:57 AM

Indeed it's celebrating 40 years.
The first volume of the manga was released in 1980 (after its successful run of its first part of chapters in a weekly magazine) and Takahashi received the renowned Shogakukan Manga Award for it in 1980.
It was her first series and at once her first hit.

- real Emotion (FFX-2 copyright probably)
- Ai no Uta (single version)
- Dance in the rain

They might have skipped SHAKE IT & 24 from secret except if they would update it for girls~Selfish release later this month.
They also did not updated the dance version of the PV from Bounce & Lovers with the exception of Hot Stuff (that was pretty successful for her standards).

NEVER GIVE IT UP
Kimi Omoi
Love goes like...

Diva_br 8th November 2020 04:08 PM

^SO FEVER and NEVER GIVE IT UP are not official releases (along with Kimi Omoi -until Shhh!) That could be a reason

Darkifrit 8th November 2020 04:18 PM

Also didn’t they updated Love goes like... but the video was not reachable via her page ?

I wonder if they will updated (re)CORD video that were included in the (re)LIVE DVD.

KarenPang 8th November 2020 04:18 PM

And W FACE PV is not included in the main 2 albums' DVDs/Blu-ray discs either , provided if you buy W FACE at the concert venue/s & then you get the DVD with the PV in it

Don't know the reason for Love goes like... . Kimi Omoi was odd choice for its PV not to be uploaded online since the song was eventually officially included in W FACE inside

sitara 8th November 2020 04:23 PM

when exactly was Love goes like... pv released? was it just a tour screen or is the pv found on an album/single as well?

Darkifrit 8th November 2020 04:30 PM

KarenPang 8th November 2020 04:38 PM

Background videos also if you want to count them in :

- POP DIVA
- Black Candy
- AT THE WEEKEND
- Crank Tha Bass
- Lippy

Kuu made a number of PVs over the years which were screened like interlude movies during her tours but were not included in the physical release of her main albums

Also solo version of Twinkle PV too that only features Kuu , without Show Luo in it

ILoveGeniuses 8th November 2020 04:42 PM

I think the Single Versions of "anytime" & "stay with me" are also missing from YouTube as well. Oh and that alternate version of TABOO too.

Also, bit off topic, but does anyone have a large HQ textless picture of the Kingdom CD/2DVD cover?

hud 9th November 2020 05:14 AM

did SM Entertainment and Kuu buy the same demo? lol.

the teaser for "RUN":

NINGNING from the new SM girlgroup aespa in a video released yesterday to showcase her singing skills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bONr7tZ7VIU

I recognized it from the spot. if you play NINGNING's video from 0:42 and Kuu's teaser from the beginning you can make them sing the song together, lol.

minkAYuko 9th November 2020 05:29 AM

^whaaaaaaaaaaaat haha even ku makes a cameo on the other girl's video, the 3D looks like ku in the gray hair.

HAhaha Very interesting!!

kaled kalil 9th November 2020 02:34 PM

Not hating on Ningning, but the song sounds better as a ballad. This midtempo style sounds very so so. The final part of the chorus (watch me run, run, run) sounds so much better as falsetto like Kumi did.

Gustavopc 9th November 2020 02:34 PM

I love those coincidences hahaha Also cool to see how the same song had such different approaches. But the high notes on Ningning's were a bit too much lol

Hoping this will bring some stans from SM to Kumi btw hahahah

Maybe Dance In The Rain will be added on the 12th, because the physical FC edition of the single came out on that day. The video was also up on iTunes in full so I think we will maybe get the MV on the 12th on youtube.

Should be 1 of the days , not all 4 days

UVERworld was also featured in something similar back in May ie. YouTube Music Week STAY HOME where 49 artistes' concert videos inclusive of them were featured

Of course it will make things even more meaningful if Kuu is featured on her debut date which so happens to be on the last date of YouTube Music Weekend

Sorry for bother you m(_ _)m
I need some help to buy the new EP through mu-mo shop.
When I go to the order they asked about my mu-mo ID+
I have mu-mo account and my member account (Koda Gumi Global)
What's the difference between the three? Which should I put?
If I buy the special edition (FC) with the mu-mo or mu-mo ID+ I will get the bonus item?

Sorry, but normally a friend buy my items from the Global FC and now with this I have to ask to another friend (she lives in Japan but doesn't know about fan clubs and that lmao and we don't understand how to buy it from mu-mo)

Oh! And will she have to make a mu-mo account to buy it?

minkAYuko 11th November 2020 01:10 AM

^ that whole mu-mo ID+ is a mess It took me several days to make the account. Hopefully someone can help ya I can't :/

Well... I just ordered the monsteR+angeL pack with dvd :( (I wanted so bad the BR) from hmv it has a discount and hopefully I'll get the "novelty" beacuase cdjapan still was advertising to have the first press goods but I sent them and e-mail and they said they didn't no more and they updated it the page.

so... yeah, also I shouldn't make a fuss about it, I dun even own a BRplayer xD or a DVDplayer (it broke xD) I've been looking for those with region unlocked.

I need some help to buy the new EP through mu-mo shop.
When I go to the order they asked about my mu-mo ID+
I have mu-mo account and my member account (Koda Gumi Global)
What's the difference between the three? Which should I put?

If you want to buy the FC edition, you can get it here with mu-mo ID+.

https://shop.mu-mo.net/avx/sv/list1?...ateg_id=800207

Again, they don't ask for playroom membership questions.

If you try to order FC edition with an error, change delivery address. Sometimes, they recognize tenso address and won't ship there.

For example:

番地:千住曙町42-4
建物名・号室:TSOOOOOO 転送コム

Change to

番地:千住曙町42-4 [TSOOOOOO 転送コム]
建物名・号室:

If you order now, you can still get pre-oder items.

Diva_br 11th November 2020 05:12 AM

^Thank you! We'll try it again!

RainbowFive 11th November 2020 01:09 PM

Please do not share the link on facebook, twitter and other sns, hope avex staff won't find it out and we will get the fc edition

You will get the 2 A5 sized clearfiles bonus giveaway that HMV Japan is giving away . You will not get them if you see the bonus item being strike out at the bottom of the link under Product Description

https://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Kumi...me-Is_11285000

I thought of ordering the mini albums via CDJapan but they do not give further special discount for members unlike HMV Japan aside from CDJapan not giving away the bonus item giveaway but that's secondary for me

If you buy angeL + monsteR [MY NAME IS...] 2 CDs + DVD in the physical store in Japan , it's ¥6,600 inclusive of tax

HMV Japan charged me ¥5,400 which's quite significant as the ¥1,200 discount , I use it to offset the EMS shipping fee which its starting base fee used to be ¥900 a long time ago :s

With today being 11.11 , many including CDJapan jumped in the special discount campaign but even with the discount , I will still pay so much more as compared to HMV Japan

Anyway to each his own , I all the while prefer HMV Japan a lot more than CDJapan & I only use CDJapan if I have no other choice or if HMV Japan are not giving away further discounts for members regarding certain artistes' releases

Lastly for the video disc issue , I never watch DVDs directly as my old laptop cannot read DVDs anymore . I just use DVD Decrypter to rip the VOBs from DVDs & watch the VOBs via Potplayer

I own an ALL REGION Bluray Player which will play any region of Bluray or DVD disks as I import stuff from multiple countries. Bought mine from Amazon for a reasonable price. Didn't even have to pay shipping.

But this was the link they shared at the official entry about the EP. I will no share it but they put it to the public

KarenPang 11th November 2020 05:00 PM

Nowadays electronics & IT devices are reasonably priced & they're also getting smaller physically as each year goes by

I remembered years ago when USB thumbdrives were 1st released in the market , I had to pay 60 bucks for a 2GB thumbdrive which was crazy & that was after the school subsided o_O

Those were the days ha

Dance In The Rain PV has been uploaded



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDKdOL6cREs

Gustavopc 11th November 2020 06:16 PM

So happy DITR was uploaded! Still one of the most gorgeous music videos I've ever seen. What a gem.

kaled kalil 11th November 2020 06:29 PM

Dance In The Rain sticks out like a sore thumb in her videography, specially after Bon Voyage. The Oculus Rift gig probably gave her such a different budget for it that, even other times where she worked with YBKX later DITR clearly looks much better than anything else.

I know it's about different visions and concept, but it's hard not to notice how HAIRCUT/WATCH OUT wasn't as polish as this one. Even WOML isn't that polished as well.

And it is kinda jarring going from that to W FACE, where all the PVs kinda sucks, to k, with its poorly done backdrop (I still can't wrap my mind around how badly the backdrop is, with the gaps and everything). Can't compare with the ones from angeL+monsteR because of the pandemic and blabla.

Darkifrit 11th November 2020 06:44 PM

Glad it was updated. It’s indeed one of her best video ever released.

I feel Dance In The Rain is one of her personal fav songs. She performed the song in most of her last live tour and each time the performance was outstanding (the WOML Tour one is her most impressive acrobatic performance IMO).

minkAYuko 12th November 2020 04:51 AM

Dance in the rain is SO good! it's one of my favorite songs ever. I think the video would have benefited from being more wide screen? it almost looks square to me. The scenery is really good.

yeah, I love to order from HMV tho CDjapan has been good to me too. costumer service is SO good in both. The only thing from HMV that I really don't like is that they fold the posters they don't roll them up like Cdjapan. Also sometimes is less expensive!

Will look for them I'm scared that they won't read the disc so when I visit stores I've takn my discs with me and try them on there! xD.

Yes , HMV Japan loses out to CDJapan in terms of shipping , packaging & payment options

But cost wise HMV Japan wins

I don't mind posters being folded

Killer monster sounds kinda lame so far. :(

Edit - You can't comment on the video, is set for Youtube Kids. Can they learn how to use Youtube properly?

Curious to see the countdown edition of the concert.

My thoughts about the previews:
Alarm sounds nice, loving the chorus. It has a tropical beat vibe.
I don't know why RUN clicked so much with me, it's probably my favorite song from the album so far.
for... got an r&b instrumental for the chorus, hope it develops more during the song, because the piano is kinda generic.

Killer monsteR's chorus is lame, the verse sounds alright.
WORK IT! is kinda spooky haha. The beginning is very noisy, but as it goes it gets a halloween vibe, it's something that could be on Turn Of The Lights from Kim Petras
FliCky so far is the best for my taste in monsteR, is similar to Shhhh but more uptempo, mixed with Winner Girls.
No One sounds like the remix of Damn Real on Driving Hit, liking so far except the sound is a little LQ, hope it's just the preview.
Sing the truth is that song from her InstaLive, nothing groundbreaking so far.

KarenPang 12th November 2020 12:52 PM

Other than the 2 main mini albums songs that have got PVs , I'm not going to listen to the other new material's previews

I still feel if I didn't keep & listen to any of the digital released songs prior to the release of re(CORD) , I probably would have liked the album a lot more :s

Killer MonsteR feels underwhelming but Kuu looks so pretty towards the end of the RUN PV

Corvina 12th November 2020 01:11 PM

Kuu was just announced as performer for FNS this year!

https://mobile.twitter.com/fns_kayou...40411281911811

December 2nd, so the first night.
Maybe she's gonna sing a new song (RUN?) as it's perfect timing with the release date!

I really like Killer monsteR so far!
I actually like all of the previews!
Really dig that mix of laid-back urban and electronic sounds!

Surreal17 12th November 2020 02:03 PM

So far from the previews, I like I'm Lovin', RUN and WORK IT! RUN has potential to be one of her best recent ballads, hopefully the full version won't disappoint.
