Corvina 9th October 2011 03:38 PM

Going on here.

Yeah, it was the same dress, but still beautiful.
And that outfit after...wooo, looked as if she would blow it up with her body, so sexy! :heart
Don't know if she gained some weight again or muscles, but gorgeous!
She had troubles reaching some high notes in Ai no Kotoba, but overall alright performance vocally. Though she can do much better than that.

maze 9th October 2011 03:47 PM

Ai no Kotoba? bleeh
can't wait to see BE MY BABY though
did someone make screencaps? I missed it ;_;

freedreamer 9th October 2011 03:51 PM

is that the Love Me Back cover??? O.O

Corvina 9th October 2011 03:53 PM

The final now, everyone on stage.
Didn't make one, but I hope somebody records it in good quality.
Kuu is wearing a long black dress now.
She's standing right beind the guy who's speaking, but you can't see her properly. XD

http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6278/unbenanntamd.png

Lol, that's the only screencap I could make just now.
All artists got flowers, but they didn't show anybody with a close up, everything from far behind. >__<
Overall the camera work was pretty bad.

Gustavopc 9th October 2011 04:23 PM

It's kinda funny that new Kuu threads pops up just as fast as she puts out new singles/album :roflmao

Well, as Corvina said, the camera was very bad, but I enjoyed Kuu's part. She is just getting more and gorgeous, not to say that she was amazingly hot :love

Corvina 9th October 2011 04:25 PM

From Ilovekuu at JPC:

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/377/2h3d8aw.jpg

:heart

maze 9th October 2011 04:35 PM

omg gorgeous :heart I love her hair and that awesome dress!

Corvina 9th October 2011 04:40 PM

Yeah, and that must be her real hair, comparing with the pics in the Dejavu Tour blog! :heart
For the Ai no Kotoba performance she just had her hair being tight up in that dress.
After she wore a black/metallic corsage with short pants and a black veil at the back of the pants, her hair was open.
I so hope pics from the performance will pop up soon at japanese news sites, she looked just gorgeous!

EDIT:
zephyrous recorded the whole lot and posted it at JPC.
Cause I can't repost it here, I just post the link to his post, hope that's ok:

Twinkle ! 9th October 2011 06:56 PM

OMG she looks amazing and magnificent :luv2

everytime I wonder if there's a word more than "Love" to describe how I feel about Kumi :heart .

ren'ai 9th October 2011 07:04 PM

^ haha I know what you mean xD

Still don't like the song choice but can't deny she rocked that stage. She looks frikkin aMAZING

maze 9th October 2011 07:15 PM

direct link: http://www.facebook.com/v/295687667124474

she sounded bad during ai no kotoba, I guess she's sick or something ): bad choice indeed

BE MY BABY, on the other hand, was perfect as always :luv2 that outfit + hair + energy omg love it!

do it again 9th October 2011 07:28 PM

blah i always hate her hair parted down the middle like that.

isthisLOL? 9th October 2011 07:32 PM

How fast does this woman put out singles? Is avex trying to milk her fans as long as they still can? o.0

ayu_ready? 9th October 2011 09:19 PM

Ai no Kotoba didn't sound as good as when she sang it last year. I think she's just tired though :)
the hair is so 2006. yaaaaaaaaaaaay

Ayu_Love 9th October 2011 11:37 PM

Aww I loved the little confusion she had at the end...adorable. :laugh BE MY BABY was awesome :) I love how formal and almost timidly cute she speaks at concerts like this. :heart

happiholic★ 10th October 2011 05:08 AM

I didn't watch it all the way through. I'm a bad Kuu stan.

Rocky Raven 10th October 2011 01:06 PM




Minttulatte 10th October 2011 03:38 PM

Yey for youtube videos when other sites are slow or just hates me~ :heart Kuu looked beautiful and she made me cry when she sang Ai no Kotoba. When she sang BE MY BABY I felt like jumping on the walls because of the energy. She looked absolutely gorgeus too! :luv2

And I want her hair. *____*

kaled kalil 10th October 2011 05:32 PM

She stepped on her skirt and almost fell off on BE MY BABY, so cute XD

Beauty4123 10th October 2011 06:53 PM

those performances were amazing! i loved kuu's outfit in the "BE MY BABY" performance. fierce! :luv2 she looked stunning.

Gustavopc 10th October 2011 11:16 PM

I hadn't noticed on the live broadcast that she's changed her hairstyle, she looks EVEN.MORE.INCREDIBLY.HOT O___O omg she is also with an amazing body, she better be looking like that on LMB PV and lives!

so cute :3

Ayu_Love 11th October 2011 01:52 AM

^That's so adorable when she recognizes the camera and smiles, I freakin' love this woman so much. :heart She was smiling at people (and probably other fancams) throughout the performance, she's such a gem. :heart

I love that screenshot, actually! Really cute expression! :D

happiholic★ 11th October 2011 02:38 AM

That screenshot is a really good picture of her. I love it!

Minttulatte 11th October 2011 03:30 PM

Kuu is such a sweetheart. :heart I love her so much <3

kaled kalil 11th October 2011 04:15 PM

Found from last.fm Kuu's shoutbox. XD

And yes, she's hot as hell. I wish I looked that hot. :luv2

kaled kalil 12th October 2011 03:36 PM

LOL at Jungle's face XD
But Kumi looks hot, she should stay with this hair for Love Me Back PV and promotion.

Ayu_Love 12th October 2011 11:06 PM

Found some little fancams of Kuu in Vietnam. :) The first vid where they all arrive I think, you see Kumi at the start and in the background, and then halfway through introducing herself excitedly to another artist arriving. :) Second vid is her getting into her taxi/car.





She looks beautiful in the black dress. :heart

Another little pic of Kuu performing BE MY BABY:

Ayu_Love 13th October 2011 01:02 AM

Sorry for the double post guys but I just had to post this. I was stumbling around Vimeo looking for Koda Kumi lives when I found these two videos. Some woman called Helen had put up videos saying that Kumi is under Monarch Mind Control and sold her soul to the devil for fame and money with the whole asian music market exposed...and her evidence for this is....because kuu likes butterflies. XD I know there's probably loads of vids on Youtube about asian artists being in the illuminati (Oh, she also has a video where apparently Ayu is an Illuminati puppet) and what not, but I found this so halerious I thought I would pass it on:

http://vimeo.com/26013669

http://vimeo.com/26014216

Where do people come up with this?? XD It amazes me how someone can take a love for butterflies and somehow turn it into a conspiracy, LOL.

Gustavopc 13th October 2011 02:27 AM

Thanks for the videos + instrumentals + charts + etc :D :D :D

lmao at these videos, they've made me night :roflmao

SURREAL__RAINBOW 13th October 2011 02:51 AM

rofl at the pictures xD


amazing

emi♡ 13th October 2011 02:59 AM

And lol at that....other girl who's back again~

happiholic★ 13th October 2011 07:07 AM

Kuu looked so hot at that event <3.

Gustavopc 13th October 2011 08:35 AM

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/110926.html

And the third track is a remix... Well, I usually like remixes, so no big deal. Just hope they include instrumentals.

AND OMG STILL CANT BELIEVE WE'RE FINALLY GETTING SAY HER NAME :luv2

tenshi no hane 13th October 2011 09:40 AM

^ "finally"? Has Say My Name been mentioned before? It doesn't ring a bell to me.

Gubsi 13th October 2011 10:11 AM

ooomg <3 thanks tsubasa!

cd-only and mu-mu edition are YUM :heart cd+dvd is still awesome too. i'm just wtfing at the goats haha

its soooo cool say her name is finally gonna be out!
@tenshi no hane, aages ago we saw Ina Wroldsen, who's a songwriter (Leona Lewis's My Hands, Pixie Lott's Gravity, Pussycat Dolls' HushHush, Britney Spears's He About to Lose Me etc) had a song called Say Her Name for Kumi Koda on her website but it never got released.. I can't remember what era this was though

Gubsi 13th October 2011 01:07 PM

^i think it was rumoured to be her spring single after BEST ~third universe~ & 8th AL "UNIVERSE"!!

Tom Punks 13th October 2011 01:33 PM

I kind of like the covers, but she looks sooo tired on them.

Corvina 13th October 2011 02:05 PM

I like CD+DVD the best, the one we already knew. The other two are a bit wtf at first look to me, but still a nice concept. :laugh
Hope we get more inside pics this time.
And yes to Say Her Name, about time!

Thanks to all those pics and fanvideos from the Vitenam live! I love her body so much now, got so perfect again. She just rocks having a bit more. And that screenshot with her smiling in the fancam! :heart

Ayu_Love 13th October 2011 02:07 PM

I love the red CD only cover the most, she looks fierce. :D And woo! Say Her Name will finally be released. :D I remembered it being rumoured for a single not too long ago but I can't remember which one...I think it might have been Gossip Candy, actually. :)

Can't wait! Single's gonna be FIERCE. :heart

jiarongisme 13th October 2011 02:11 PM

I think she looks ridiculous in the mu-mo edition cover lol. Loving the regular ones! And Say Her Name is FINALLY released omg.

Can anyone translate this? It's supposed to be the first press bonus for the single.

From her official site: 初回盤封入特典:豪華くじ引き付き!(※本人ビジュアルステッカー付き!シールをはがすとくじ 引きが!)

Corvina 13th October 2011 02:14 PM

A lottery ticket with a beautiful drawing, it's up at CDJapan as well.

Benikari47 13th October 2011 02:20 PM

CD Only is one of her best single covers in a while.

Lee^ChaN 13th October 2011 02:37 PM

Covers really remind me of BC era :heart

Kuu-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn!!!

tenshi no hane 13th October 2011 02:57 PM

I like the concept of the covers, but she looks tired imo.

Awesome covers. I love the CD Only cover the most. She's so fierce and sexy there. :heart

kaled kalil 13th October 2011 03:26 PM

I love the covers and I can't wait to hear Say Her Name.

milky_way 13th October 2011 04:23 PM

CD-only is my fave :heart

Zeke. 13th October 2011 04:49 PM

Still not a fan of the covers - they look kinda cheap. The goats or whatever they are on the side remind me of reindeer and me wishing it were a winter themed single. Lol.

Ayu_Love 13th October 2011 06:51 PM

Thank you for the UHQ covers, Kaled! I love the CD version even more now seeing it in UHQ. :heart

I think all 3 are awesome. There's only a couple or so things I find a bit off such as Kuu's head kind of blocks the name of her text and makes it feel a bit off centre (although I do see it's meant to look like shes coming out of the frame :)) And the goats and text seem to get cut off at the sides, which makes it kind of look like it's been badly cropped, hahaha. But other than that they're awesome. :heart

I'm very glad they're more creative photo's with the layout and the font. :D

Beauty4123 13th October 2011 06:57 PM

such amazing covers! i love them all! but my most favorite is the CD only. :luv2

Yumsushi 13th October 2011 09:36 PM

The mu mu cover is the best and it reminds me somehow of Cherry girl, which I really liked. Be my Baby is just too awesome, why didn't I pay attention when she released Eternity?

happiholic★ 13th October 2011 10:01 PM

I love the CD Only cover best. She looks so hot on it. Also excited for Say Her Name. Overall, I'm very excited for this single.

Gustavopc 14th October 2011 12:18 AM

Just saw this pic on tumble [user: kosokosoko]

jbrat2219 14th October 2011 12:57 AM

CD-only is the best cover. Dejavu promo looks hot!

happiholic★ 14th October 2011 01:40 AM

Is this where she preforms magic tricks? And I'm assuming that the other two girls were pulled from the crowd.

koumori 14th October 2011 04:16 PM

That promo photo is amazing. :heart This girl has been on a roll since 2009 for me~

ayu_ready? 14th October 2011 08:11 PM

omfg why this woman is so perfect!!!!!!! :)

krauterol 15th October 2011 02:23 AM

amazing promo pic!

wowow its a private channel, isn't it?
I would love to know the popularity of that tv-event since the channel is already buying all her tours since first things and broadcasting it quite before the relese date. Considering avex it's so "money money" it's rare.. but anyways it's promotion after all

I can't tell if Kuu fans are super amazing and easily pleased, or if Kuu is just epic and releases only amazing stuff. Because, I swear, the majority of the responses to anything she does is "omg, epic".

A little of both. Lol.

Minttulatte 15th October 2011 11:34 AM

^Not too bad imo.

And I don't even say anything about Kuu's epicness since I'm a stan. I seriously love everything she does no matter how bad it might be to others. 8D

Corvina 15th October 2011 12:41 PM

Oh wow, just saw FC tickets for Kuu's tour concert on 10/27 staying at about 70,000 Yen (about 650 € or 900 US$)on YAJ! And the auction isn't over yet.
I love Kuu, but that's not worth it, I'd never pay that much for tickets.
Some others are at 30,000-40,000 Yen, that's already a lot of money, lol.
Especially cause there are others just startin at 100 Yen, even though those aren't FC tickets and worse seats.

Also found some pics of the Qlix x 4 TIMES camera there:

^what is she doing there?

happiholic★ 16th October 2011 01:56 AM

^Looks to me like she is buying a hat and probably attempting to mimic some sort of hand gesture that is used in Vietnam.

Ayu_Love 16th October 2011 02:04 AM

Photo's from 'Favorite Room' in Playroom. It's where Kuu posts picture's of herself in her favorite outfits. The one from 'IN THE AIR' PV is gorgeous. :heart And I love the one with the waistcoat and glasses.

I wanna copy her style now, I'm such a Kuu stan, hahaha. Actually her clothes seem to be what I like to wear anyway, so that's pretty awesome. :heart

EDIT: OOPS! Forgot to credit Kumi-flash for the photo's. Thank you! :heart

This made me laugh so hard lol. Because it's true.

Gustavopc 16th October 2011 04:02 AM

In love with the second pic and the one with Linkin Park's t-shirt (: I didn't know Kuu was a fan of them btw

happiholic★ 16th October 2011 04:19 AM

Kuu usually dresses really nicely to me, but the outfits she deems as her favorite to me are kinda odd. But, that's Japanese fashion for you.

Off topic a bit: I have fallen in love with Anata Dake ga. After someone on here, I think it was NintendoHTF1242, referred to it as "one of her most godly ballads", I decided to listen to it again, I was like "what? this ballad isn't god- oh... oh my! This song is amazing!!!!!". I used to think it was like, boring as hell. I don't know what happened. It just clicked.

About Kuu fans. What I've noticed in us is that we are extremely happy. I like to be happy~ :heart

I'm so in love with these clothes omg. She has so many clothes that I could wear too and I really love that. And I feel such a hardcore Kuu stan now (which I've been since 2008 to be honest)~ :heart

i mean...what is she doing in vietnam?

Corvina 16th October 2011 12:26 PM

Just go to the first sites of this thread and you will see what she did there last weekend. ;)

Minttulatte 16th October 2011 01:26 PM

Hmm, did I miss something or is it true that no one has ripped Ai to tomenaide or You are not alone PVs from the DVD yet? O_O I just realized I still haven't seen either of them. :(

lacus 16th October 2011 01:41 PM

On average there are just about 3 songs on a Koda Kumi album that I would really listen to, the others are just too bland or boring imo.
But I just love her live performances, they're so energetic and fun. Ans she seems such a cute and nice person. :)
Props to this woman. :D

I think Koda Kumi is just easy to stan for. Nothing more, nothing less. Her music particularly is very safe.

Got Kumi Dejavu glasses, I didn't know how they change colour, so I tried hot water first and was disappointed XD


AyuHamasaki01 16th October 2011 03:38 PM

So I was away for a while but now I'm back. Did I miss anything big?

I love the covers for the new single btw :luv2

No problem. :) It's a good thing I mentioned the missing PVs then. ^_^

And here is a fan report from yesterday's Dejavu Tour concert:

Quote:

I went to the Deja Vu concert today, Sunday, October 16th at Tokyo Kokusai Forum Hall.

It was amazing, I still have chills from the concert.

Before the concert she came out on stage wearing black clothes and looked beautiful (it reminded me when she came out before the Kingdom tour where she came out prior to the show) she talked about the earthquake, and she said she had a special machine with her at the concert to help save power (I couldn't understand what it was though)

Then she went backstage and got ready

During pop diva she came in flying on a ladder, and then ending the song by falling in a a giant pot.

The second song was black cherry (http://kumi-flash.blogspot.com/2011/...1-setlist.html this says differently but it could have just been for this show)

The third song was lollipop where she brought some people up on stage

When she played walk to the future, during one part she was wearing a yellow dress and there were tapestry hanging above her and they fell and when you could see kumi again (which was about 5 seconds later) her new dress was made of the same material as the tapestry and her old yellow dress was no where to be found.

During one of the encores she talked about the new show that ai wo tomanaide had a tie in with, and then talked about her involvement with aiding victims from the earthquake, when she saw the refugees and all the destruction she said she felt so powerless and that what she was doing was so small, (someone yelled sona koto ga nai meaning:that's not true) and she wished she could do more to help, she also encouraged everyone to download the certain songs that will help give money to the victims of the earthquake

she also played a short preview of her new single Love me Back (it was about 10 seconds) I can't really say much about it cause it was sooo short of a preview, but I can say that the images of the singles cover are very fitting for the song. It seems like an in your face pop song.

During the second encore she almost cried the whole time.

Lick me which was the last song, was really fun, she didn't sing much of the chorus because the staff let the first floor crowd run up towards the stage, where she grabbed everyones hands and everyone in the crowd tried to touch her, so it was impossible for her to sing and say hi to the fans at the same time, but it still was so much fun (i was on the second floor so i didn't get to run up) then right before she finished the song, she kind of fell into the crowd (kind of like a real quick crowd surf) for a second and then her dancers helped her get up, and she then did her really cool exit, through a pop up book.

When Koda Kumi was talking to the crowd she said that this was her 56th show (I believe) and that this was the biggest hall she had performed in on the tour (twice as big as the second largest) she said she really wanted to do this because she wanted to be close with her fans, as opposed to an arena where she feels so far away.


Also before the concert started she was joking saying the concert was 2-3hours but with mcs it was 5 hours, the whole concert hall laughed.

Notice the mention of "Black Cherry" as the second song on the tracklist. :heart Don't know if it was a typo but if she really sang it then OH. MY. GOD. O_O

maze 17th October 2011 06:24 PM

^ they meant "Black Candy" as it's the second song on the setlist ^^

AyuHamasaki01 17th October 2011 07:08 PM

^I like both songs but it would've been cool if she performed Black Cherry :yes
