I'd use a middlemanservice. Some don't order perfumes and other liqiuds, but some other do. My regular one does, at least they did with perfumes I won at auctions: http://www.shoppingmalljapan.com/
But notice - liquids aren't allowed to be shipped with Air Mail/ by plane, just by ship. Means it will take longer to get to you. But it works nevertheless.

A bit off the topic but I just check Kuu's page at generasia and someone messed up all her Digital singles topic :S She had several songs released digitally before the albums, but they weren't digital singles, right?

@Corvina Thanks but in that case i'll pass. i dont trust anything less than airmail from overseas.

I hate how japan forgets about the rest of the world sometimes... what is this, sakoku?
I just want that perfume.

Oh awesome. i just realized Kuu and I have the same 2 favorite colors. :D :heart

And about the perfume i really want it too but im not trusting the ship thing from overseas. had too many problems with it in the past. i already have two bottles of LG's perfume and would love to have Kuu's as well but guess i can only get it now if i get super huge lucky and find some asian store selling it or if i can get to Japan before they stop selling it. :(

Bigger pics from the making of the new PV(s):

What about Get It On? That was an intro on he album, but to get the full song it was download only, no? That's the only one I know about, though.

ah thanks for making the thread corvina :)

she looks amazing in the second pic of those about the new PV, reminds me of her Kingdom era, can't wait for more material yay~

I'm excited to hear the next HIRO song for Kuu is erokakkoi style :D I hope it's the A side of the next single! A double A side or 4 A side like '4 Times' would be AWESOME, looking at these PV previews.

Yeah, as far as I know it is her only digital single so far. But generasa lists half of JAPONESQUE album tracks, Watchu Waitin' On? and Lovely as digital singles, when iirc they were just released a few days before the albums for promotion...

There are just 3 digital only releases:
01. KODA KUMI REMIX ALBUM [2006.02.22]
02. Get It On [2006.03.01]
03. Hey baby! (TV version) [2010.12.01]

It's in the first post. :)
Besides all other songs are just digitally released first for promotion like you said, not separate.

can't wait for the new single *o* sexy kuu please~~

Does anyone have more pictures of Kodas hair this color?


http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3450848.html

Has anyone bought from Mu mo using the international shipping??? I missed out on the pamphlet on yesasia and cdjapan... and Mu mo has it??

Which pamphlet are you looking for? I know YesAsia still has the one for the Japonesque tour.

EDIT: OMG! it is gone on YA!! I never bothered ordering it as it didn't really interest me, but i never thought it would be the first item to sell out. I already had the Kumi face tshirt ship and the Koda Kuma Strap & Acryl Hangul along with an Ayu item are about to ship real shortly.

Yea.. It sold out recently.. They had it yesterday... Its gone on cdjapan too

That sucks. :(
Well I do have a few friends in Osaka. I can ask them if you'd like. :heart

That would be awesome haha. I so went on ebay and asked a person,in japan if they do special orders hahaha!!

LOL! I've done that before. I'm personally still trying to find the JPN Press of Ayu's RMX WORKS Ayu Trance 3 CD, which is
out of print EVERYWHERE. -_-

Anyways, back on topic, but I'll send them an email and see what they say about that Kuu pamphlet. While I'm at it, is there anything else you needed?

Bigger pic from her new PV taken from playroom

http://d1uzk9o9cg136f.cloudfront.net...fa54_large.jpg

Lovely outfit

She looks so happy~

There is stuff im looking for but on yahoo japan auctions there is nothing listed right now haha.. I JUST WANT THAT PAMPHLET. If only Mumo had a better shipping for overseas lol! gosh I cannot believe I waited this long and it sold out :(!

I was worried about that with some of the other items which is why I preordered right away. I've missed out on stuff countless times cuz either i waited too long or due to my time zone I was asleep when they got listed and sold out before i woke up in the morning. -_-

Anyways, I've emailed them so I'll just wait til they give me a reply. :)

love it, clearly a new single

hopefully cute ~~~~~

oh and she is having live performance on youtube !! / http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/4789023.html

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...3fqJUicf7y4pWo

Koda Kumi (5/3 @22:00)

^ Omg that's amazing :heart

But @22:00 in which time zone? :P

Saw that yesterday on facebook, but could't believe it.
They're going to stream Kuu`s JAPONESQUE Tour on 05/03?
That would be too awesome!

And it's probably japanese time.

guys I don't think they're gonna stream the JAPONESQUE tour o_õ

too good to be true.

They're just speaking of Live in the original japanese news.
But Kuu's having a tour concert on that date, so...

Anyway, whatever they're streaming, I watch it. Already set an alarm! :D

Hmm Im 14hrs behind Japan.... so then id have to be awake and on there at 8am, right?

This is awesome. just hope they make it available to this part of the planet.

Me too lol And if it's the JAPONESQUE Tour I'll try to record for those who can't catch the concert on time. :)

If it's Japanese time then it's perfect for me cause I'm 12 hours behind Japan, no need to wake up~

they'll be stream her last MTV Isle live

Guys, do any of you have a link to watch Premium Night Love & Songs DVD?

No, MTV Isle of Miyakojima will be broadcasted on 05/12.
Nobody knows yet what they'll stream.

Here's one:
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/b...eId=0_06_02_99
PW: PN320

And here another, but I don't know the password fot that.
Both from baidu

I just read that actually for Ayu old performances are going to be broadcast, maybe for Kumi it will be the same? >_<

Saw this in the comments there: http://youtu.be/ddmYVqScv6g

Eh, I have my driver's test on that day. I won't be able to see it.

Ahh I'll be in school when it's streaming :( but I guess it wouldn't hurt to skip first period to watch the queen

Kuu's concert stream on youtube? Awesome. I wonder which one it's gonna be. If it's a old tour I won't be watching because I've seen all of them. I pray it's something that hasn't been seen yet. :3

Gotta check that one out when I've downloaded Ayu's CDL12-13 so I can watch three concerts on the same day. :D

THanks for doing that for me :) I just kept putting it off buying craft stuff instead O_O!!!!! So thanks again!! :)! I normally wouldve just ordered it but yea! Im suprised they sold out! They still have a pouch from Dejavu tour!!

Anyone?? Lol

I think no one answered because there isn't more photos of her with this hair color / style. It was during the JAPONESQUE Promotional Era and she didn't any public appearance or live performance. ^^

But the hair is almost the same of this one:

guys, do you know where I can find romanizations of kuu's songs?

figured it was worth a shot to try it again XD ty though

Try here: http://www.jpopasia.com/celebrity/kumikoda/discography/ ^^ All the songs with the little script icon next to them have lyrics when you click on them, I believe most, if not all, are romanized. ^^

For anyone who wanted the pamphlet and saw it was sold out even on cdjapan.. Cd japan got it back!

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview....EY=NEODAI-3486 So get it before its gone. I just ordered it!!! :)! I wanna thank SoldierofSilence for trying to help me out!!

So is she actualy streaming Japonesque or is it an older tour..gotta know if I have to stay up hahah!!

OT, you guys remember this video? I rewatched it and lol'd so much, it's sooo random

My fave part is kumi on the toaster. Kuu has some really weird videos, you guys have a favorite weird/random kuu PV?

fav weird Kuu pv would be this SHAKE IT UP


the plot is still ???, she is a doll made up of like gummy string dancing for twins then in a clock then dance break but still one of my fave pvs from her

new LOVEIL promo pic, credit: Lidayu (JPC)
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/2333/imageproxy1.jpg

something is off but cute but still :/

She kinda looks like Ding Dang in that pic

@Princess_of_Roses. Yw. ^_^ :heart

btw, awesome link. just question. i did a search for the kumi goods on cdjapan. tried every related keyword i could think of but they're not coming up in the search engine, and if i go under Kumi Koda complete listings only Goods it shows is a few of her old calendars now out of print. anyone else having this trouble?

Btw i think one thing off about the ad is it says theyre for color contacts but shes obviously not wearing any...

^That "random girl" was her little sister misono. :D

That Loveil promo pic looks a bit odd, her eyes look too big or her face has been photoshopped to look less round or something. o.O Otherwise this photo is beautiful. :)

she doesn't look like herself lol. I still like the pic though, but too much photoshop

@love in music: My favorite 'weird and random' is ECSTASY, that pool with that white thing... Awesome lol

--

The problem with the pic is that they removed the blue light on her eyes, it would affect the color of the contact lenses. You can see that all the black parts are blue except her eye makeup and the lenses. And she's using them, but in photos it always looks kinda fake.

More pics:

The Music Card with Pink Spider and ESCALATE from JAPONESQUE Tour leaked on baidu, and has that chinese password again. Also, someone from that went to the concert and recorded some songs and posted there, with password too. So, I haven't listened any of them to say something about the quality. :)

omg I love those pics :thud

Has someone figured out already how to get the songs from the music card? :thud

If someone figures out the password, I'd like to download those songs too♥

pommy, what is the password for this pleasee http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2283915555 ~o~

very classy pics for loveil. I love her hair!!

omg the youtube concert is a re-airing of FANTASIA ....this isn't the reality I wanted :thud:thud:thud

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news2/201...n-of-live.html

^ Meh .__.

i have the fantasia concert on bluray. watched it several dozen times already. -_-

I love those new Loveil pics! :heart

Oh, it's so sad that we don't have the password for the fan recording of JAPONESQUE Tour. Or the Music Card recordings of Pink Spider and ESCALATE.

I got my Japonesque tour koda kuma phone strap & chopsticks today! :D :heart

They're GORGEOUS!! :heart

it's like they slightly ayufied her in those pictures lol a LOT of photoshop, kinda like if one of us had made a graphic with her and topazed the **** out of it lol


She still looks good though. I love how they did her hair. And the color palette, and the effects.

Opening + So Nice + D.D.D. JAPONESQUE TOUR ---> http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/13ILzBDD5Fw/

pass : yhrl

other --> http://www.tudou.com/home/_47375348/

Someone please rip the audios from the Tudou videos :)

^ omg God save your soul for posting this :heart D.D.D. sounds SOOOOOOOO AMAZING

The D.D.D. arrangement is TO DIE FOR. :heart

nihongxixi

Absolutely hate the D.D.D. arrangement... I love everything about the original, it's one of those songs that came together perfectly. This sounds like something you'd hear while cranking a jack-in-the-box.

It's not working for me :(

It won't finish loading for me :(

omg so glad to hear this so soon again!! :heart
D.D.D.'s japanese version is so good and the Love Me Back Jazzy Nightclub Verision as well!
i hope they'll post a KO-SO-KO-SO rip cause the Blistah rap intro it was so effin' amazing!!
hope someone rip these! xo

thanks so much for all the links!!

Even though they are overly photoshopped so that it looks apparent, the loveil pics are beautiful! <3

And I can't wait to see JAPONESQUE TOUR ^^

Thanks for the link but i wanna wait for the Bluray and watch it all at once on my large tv. :D :heart

I was kinda expecting that they will be airing FANTASIA for some reason tbh. XD

idg Chinese sites tbh can't dl T__T

anyway gonna wait for the dvd as well

Thanks for the links!
It's just so LQ for the opening, D.D.D. sounds richer in better quality.
The audience is going nuts with Pink Spider, it's just such a great performance, everyone was like "wow"! :laugh
For Boom Boom Boys she has so much energy, you can really feel it through the recording! And the fans singing with her like she wanted. :D
I'm so hyped that I can listen to it again, ah, good memories~

The new arrangement for D.D.D sounds really awesome :heart

The whole tour sounds great :)

In love with D.D.D.'s arrangement!! :love Thanks for the link! :D

I can't wait to watch this concert omg
Pink Spider live is divine.

Dunno if someone has posted this but here's the live version of PINK SPIDER from JAPONESQUE TOUR: http://pinkspidah.tumblr.com/post/48...-live-it-slays

Just loved it! Now I'm hating the studio version because of those auto-tuned vocals :S This version with her real voice is so much better!

ESCALATE live
http://cheongster.tumblr.com/post/48740585333

where are these from btw? It clearly isn't from fancams lol

^ From the JAPONESQUE LIVE Music Card

May I ask what's that? XD

^ I think it was a music card sold at tour venues and you could access those two live versions.

No one ripped it yet? I'm trying but no luck :(

EDIT:

I downloaded, tagged and uploaded: http://mrraphachan.tumblr.com/post/4...ive-music-card

Hey dunno if anyone's still wanting it, but YesAsia has the Japonesque Tour Pamphlet back in stock now.

http://www.yesasia.com/us/koda-kumi-...0-en/info.html

^
Exactly! The only times I could listen to the album version of Pink Spider were because of the video, which I adored. With her voice the cover is very good!

Hello

It is on June 22 in Osaka (original price)

(PS i also have 2 tickets for ayu on June 23 in Kobe which is quite close to Osaka)

Thanks a lot! the Japonesque Live Version of Pink Spider is amazeballs *___*

really wish Colla the Cova was doing better, her best thing since Japonesque

T_T

also somebody keep re-uploading Pink Spider to youtube, it gets taken down within the week but each time it gets like 50k views or more....ugh stupid avex Pink Spider potential was so huge

will never forgive for not tapping it

I was hoping that CTC could reach the 50k mark, but I doubt it will happen :(

--

One more Koda Kumi product: Fake eyelashes

http://www.d-up.co.jp/lovecherie/

Dear God, the photoshop on her hair is a mess lol They changed the hair color but also painted her ear and forehead.

I heard CTC is doing so lousy cause it didn't have much of any promotion. Dear-G Avex, Kuu just got back from her maternity leave like a few months ago. Give the girl some real super major promotion and put the Queen back on top in her place. We all know she sells major numbers if you just put in the effort to promote the woman. :D :heart

@KaledKalil OMG Photo in white on the right her eyes scare me. Looks huge like bulging out of her eye-sockets like those really old cartoons from over 50 years ago. O_O

^I agree with you 100%.

hey I doubt it and bit random, but is it still possible to get my hands on any of those hats that Kuu was giving away or whatever during the promotion of the Gossip Candy single? I see people in the crowds wearing them all the time.

Stop releasing those cosmetic things and announce your single baby I need to schedule my wallet for this summer asap D:
