Someday
WIND

She wasn't perfroming for CDTV for a long time, so she was pretty nervous. Though it was a lot of fun.
It will be on air 03/26.

pimenta 10th March 2016 12:57 PM

Thank you for making the new thread, Corvina!

I love the setlist for the CDTV Special Live :heart

Gustavopc 10th March 2016 01:10 PM

yaaaaas for I'll be there! :heart That song deserves a lot more of love than it gets hahahaha And since she's already rehearsing for her tour, I am hoping these songs (especially the first three) make it to the setlist. Also, I really liked her hairstyle.

abestfah 10th March 2016 01:15 PM

Outfit for show is very perfect but It's so so setlist for me

Corvina 10th March 2016 02:06 PM

Somebody on Baidu commented that the logo on her nails might be the new tour logo?
A K in a triangle. Looks similar to a diamond.

Btw. I'm waiting for the tour goodies. Should come any day now!

~StarCatcher~ 10th March 2016 02:09 PM

I would like that logo for the tour. And maaaaybe a triangle stands for the third best album? ;-)

Her hair at the CDTV live is gorgeous and her look is fierce as usual <3

jiarongisme 10th March 2016 02:34 PM

^ Except that ~third universe~ was already released...? :laugh

BANGS!

~StarCatcher~ 10th March 2016 03:30 PM

Ahhh you are so right :-D

I was totally manipulated by the triangle symbolism^^

kaled kalil 10th March 2016 08:23 PM

Nice yellow shoes! The setlist is okay, nice songs but I'm not dying to see a performance of any of them. I just hope that she goes to CDTV more often again, it's my favorite music show.

maze 11th March 2016 04:55 PM

MY GODD I just hope she keeps that hairstyle for the tour :heart it's so perfect.

Setlist gives me old good memories, how I missed those fun songs :') With your smile is another song I hope she performs at the tour

Does anyone know if the 10th Anniversary DANCE NATION will be broadcasted? I remember there was a date for a TV broadcast bit still nothing

Reminds me of her a-nation t-shirt design from last year. Hmmm, I wonder if it's really a new logo. People will be like, she's a member of illuminati. lmao

@maze:
I took it from the gallery of KumiLoveS. Take a look there.

Some of the KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2016 ~Best Single Collection~ concert goods can already be seen via http://shop.mu-mo.net/st/special/koda2016/

jiarongisme 14th March 2016 12:24 PM

Looking very '20s/The Great Gatsby! Pretty cool.

Xianghua 14th March 2016 12:28 PM

It's so cool that she has themed towels for each region of Japan! I can't wait to get my chubu region :) I was hoping she would do something like that.

Corvina 14th March 2016 01:47 PM

Goods are inspired by live stages and Art Deco this time.
Full line will be announced on 03/25.

Apart from certain standard goods, there will also be 4 seasons themed special goods for a limited time.
Spring goods will be available from 03/30 - 05/28.
Summer goods will be avaulable from 06/04 - 08/27.
And Autumn/Winter goods will be available from 09/03 till the last concert date on 11/13.
That's for the concert venues, I don't know if it's like that online as well.

kaled kalil 14th March 2016 02:21 PM

The theme for the goodies is soooo good! Love the penlight, still sad that there is no Koda Kuma inside it anymore. I guess this time there is no pamphlet? There is a stamp book, but I don't know....

I would love to have the towels with all the colors! Such a beautiful thing to have a collection. The white one with the golden style, amazing.

And YAY with already all those dates sold out!

This! They surely look very The Great Gatsby :yes It makes me feel excited to see how the concert is gonna look like.

Gustavopc 14th March 2016 04:31 PM

Those look like how the goods from The Artist should have been :laugh The towels and lightstick look AMAZING, if only I had the money... Also, really hope there's a pamphlet coming up

And why are they still making KLOOP goods???????? I thought that thing was just for her 15th anniv, I can't believe we're getting more stuff from it and nothing from Koda Kuma :(

a❤martian 14th March 2016 09:05 PM

#TeamKloop

Please don't bring back Koda Kuma.

maze 15th March 2016 01:30 PM

9 colors for the lightstick is a bit too much ._. but I like the fact that it seems to be '20s theme. hope for some luxurious, retro, classic, back to basics costumes and song arrangements. love her with dark hair! just make it longer and straight and will look like black cherry era :b

Isicio 16th March 2016 03:45 AM

She look amazing!

ALfromHELLSING 16th March 2016 05:18 AM

Does anyone know if there was a First Press edition of WALK OF MY LIFE FC version?

I prefer Koda Kuma but KLoop starts to grow on me slowly. I might actually get the plush.

Oh man, this sucks. I just placed an order at Koda Gumi mu-mo shop and the fact that there might have been a First Press for this edition didn't cross my mind until I received a confirmation email. Oh well, expect my non-first press copy to pop up on eBay as soon as I get it and I'll go searching for a First Press copy on yahoo auctions.

Corvina 16th March 2016 02:54 PM

As far as I know the FC edition didn't have any First Press, it should be always a digipak.
The regular editions had digipak as First Press.
Guess Karen didn't read that you meant the FC.

There's a very heartwarming article, which was published in a japanese newspaper recently.
http://imageshack.com/a/img923/1993/qRXF7d.jpg

It's about a Kuu fan (a housewife), which was diagnosed with cancer last year.
Living in Hokkaido, this fan is more than happy and very determined to fight her cancer (surgery isn't possible) to be able to go to the concert in Sapporo with her family as Kuu is coming to every prefecture this time.
She saw The Artist last year in Osaka and Kuu is giving her strength to live and see her once again.
(it's a very rough translation)

Source:ちかり @ Twitter

Hope Kuu is able to see this article somehow. As she's normally bringing one or more fans up to the stage at her tours, it would be really nice if she could surprise this fan (if she's able to go).

KarenPang 16th March 2016 03:22 PM

Marika , I know that ALfromHELLSING was asking about the 1st press aspect pertaining to the fanclub edition of WALK OF MY LIFE

Just that I saw on Kuu's website , they stated 【初回仕様】豪華スペシャルパッケージ &【初回盤・通常盤】豪華ブックレット28P封入予定 , similar to what the non fanclub editions have as well 1st press wise

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/discograp...php?id=1009571

I don't own any fanclub editions of Kuu's material so I wouldn't know . If I'm wrong on this again , then I apologise

On that note , that news article on the fan is inspiring and despite her illness , it's great that she said Kuu is giving her motivation to carry on in life , despite the little amount of time she has currently

Corvina 16th March 2016 03:31 PM

Just took a look in the japanese FC store and the FC edition is called FC限定盤 (FC limited edition). And there's nothign else said in the description.
It was like that in the past, that FC editions are limited in itself, just available for a certain amount of time and that's why there isn't something like First Press.

But I guess we will see when ALfromHELLSING gets his edition, just tell us then.^^

pimenta 16th March 2016 05:06 PM

yuck, more Kloop and no Kuma? :(

I like the other goods, but why is the KXVK logo still being used? Is she going to keep it until she completes the 16th anniversary? If that's the case it feels kinda odd considering she started using it before completing 15... Two years with the 15th anniversary logo?

ALfromHELLSING 16th March 2016 06:11 PM

Thanks for the replies, Corvina and KarenPang! I've emailed mu-mo, but I have a feeling that they won't reply to me or will reply too late. It seems like I can't cancel my order either, so I guess just like Corvina said I just have to wait for my order to arrive. I sure hope it is the digipack edition. I should have just ordered it when it came out, but at that point of my life I thought I'll be collecting music digitally only so I didn't and not only that but also sold a whole bunch of Kumi's cds 'cause of that just to realize later that it was a very bad idea. I should have just sold Ayu's cds since I barely listen to her anymore. Now I have to buy all the releases I've missed and buy back the ones I've sold. Something like this could only happen to me. lmao

Man, I really hope Kuu-chan will come across that article. Maybe she can at least invite that lady backstage or something.

There wasn't. All of FC releases are just limited editions. Even if you're pre-ordering you'll not receive any extra content or goods.

I hope there are some TV CMs for her make up line! Looking good and feeling gorgeous! And I hope it sells as good as her contact lenses and her perfume line.

Corvina 18th March 2016 04:14 PM

You always forget her fake eyelashes! ;)
The fake eyelashes are really good quality (in fact the natural ones are my favourites alltogether). So I'm curious to try eyeliner and mascara out some day.

Lenses, eyelashes, perfumes, body cremes and now her own cosmetic line - you can't deny her name is a successful brand. And as long as the quality is good, I'm fine with it. I do like that she's only producing things she herself uses.
Just drop that hilarious English promo slogan, please.

The first tour goodies went online today.
All the Kloop goods are already sold out.
Btw. all older tour merchandise (Bon Voyage Tour, Let's party 2, even some of Japonesque Tour) are currently on sale at mu-mo!

Gustavopc 18th March 2016 05:48 PM

Gorgeous pics! Am I wrong or it seems like the Valentines' Day photo is from the same shoot as the second one?

The English slogan doesn't bother me that much, I think I've grown used to it coming from JPop artists lol But I do wonder where that tile came from :laugh

ALfromHELLSING 18th March 2016 07:42 PM

She looks stunning on both pics! I especially like the one with the dark background!

Hey Corvina, did you ever try buying those body creams from Japan? I was told by Noppin that they contain ethanol and cannot be imported. The only Kumi brand product I was ever interested in buying cannot be imported what a bummer.
You said that all older tour merchandise (Bon Voyage Tour, Let's party 2, even some of Japonesque Tour) are currently on sale at mu-mo! I don't see any of them on sale at Koda Gumi store or am I looking at the wrong place?
It really sucks that that KLoop plush has been sold out, I so wanted to get it. By the time I went to actually buy one it was already gone. Did they have like 50 copies. Oh man.

The tour merchandise is on sale at the normal mu-mo store. Take a look here, I picked the page where it starts with Bon Voyage Tour goods:
http://sp.shop.mu-mo.net/mumo/list1....HDA&sale_date=

For now I didn't buy any of the body cremes as I wouldn't use them. But I did buy two of her perfumes. Liquids aren't allowed to be shipped by plane, but they are by ship. So I just asked my regular middleman service ( I use Shopping Mall Japan) if they'd ship by ship and they did. Takes a lot longer than by plane, but it works without problems nevertheless.
Don't know, how it is with Ethanol though. It's pure acohol nuff said, so maybe it isn't allowed to be imported into your country? Idk.

Sold tour goods normally get restocked at least one more time. You should keep your heads up, so you won't miss it.^^
And me too, rofl, as I really want of those Kloop plushies as well.

Thanks for providing the link! Can I order from the regular mu-mo using Tenso or do I need to use middleman service?
I found a couple of big KLoop plushies on Yahoo Auction but now I'm debating if I should bid or just wait for the restock. lol

Edit: Nevermind my question, I've found the answer. Tenso works with both Koda Gumi & regular mu-mo. It's weird tho, that all those Bon Voyage & JAPONESQUE goodies aren't available via Koda Gumi's mu-mo shop.

kaled kalil 18th March 2016 11:26 PM

@Corvina I remember the fake eyelashes, but I didn't know that they were successful as well. I know that her perfume line and contact lenses have really good reviews and all.

Minttulatte 20th March 2016 12:15 AM

I'm getting hyped over Kuu again because of all these cool things recently. I can't wait to see that CDTV Special Live. I hope I can stream it in full somewhere then.

WALK OF MY LIFE's been playing in my head a lot recently. I think I should listen that album through again along with SoL and WoL~ :heart

Random comment, but I'm still not used to watching Kuu perform wearing boots with no heels... I guess I'm just too used to her wearing heels all the time haha

Gustavopc 22nd March 2016 05:14 PM

I am kinda glad she's not overusing hells (which I first noticed in 2014, with Bon Voyage Tour), she may look fierce as hell but dancing on heels put a lot of stress on your legs and mainly your back. So I think it's better she doesn't pull herself too much nowadays so she won't be regretting it later :P Plus, for that hip-hop-ish dance style she's been doing recently sneakers and boots do look better to wear than high heels.

I agree it's better when she's dancing so much, but I'm still not used to it on her haha
The sneakers are fine, it's the boots without heels that I find so weird to see her wearing... But I'll get used to it eventually.

Honestly, I said MIMB specifically over ISH and Under for the fact that I feel the rapping is only a small element of those songs. MIMB, however, I feel strives to be more hip hop/rap. Regardless, my main point is that I wish she would rap more. Not here to discuss the amazing song that is Money In My Bag. :P

Looks like the stamp book is the pamphlet this time.
And loooots of home goods.

Xianghua 25th March 2016 12:55 PM

Stamp books are used to collect seals from temples and shrines, and it looks like they are also advertising it to put the "stamps" on the receipts in the book since each prefecture will have it's own design....like it is your "pilgrimage" to go to the shows throughout the different prefectures. I think that's a great marketing strategy actually. I don't see any info on it being the pamphlet though. Which makes me question where the pamphlet is. Unless I've missed something, of course @_@

Corvina 25th March 2016 01:43 PM

Yeah, there's no mention of a pamphlet. It's a bit strange having no goods with a photoshoot and pic of Kuu.

I wonder if Shhh! is a new song?
It's on the jacket and the checkered shirt with her other song titles.

I hope she'll announce it as a new single next week at the first tour date! It would be odd to have that there with her other song titles if it wasn't going to be a new single.

Some of the goods look great!

I just hope that most songs aren't going to be cut and that it won't be a big medley or first verse-chorus(-maybe bridge)-last chorus medley. I want her to sing almost all songs in full!

I'm debating whether I want/need that shirt or not. It looks cool but weird at the same time, not to mention it says Lick me and POP DIVA on the back of it. lol
Hooded jacket looks dope, if it's not sold out too fast and I have money I'll grab it.
OMG Koda Kumi underwear. I'm sold. lol Colour doesn't matter.
And when are they going to restock Kloop plushie already. I want one so bad.

Goodies aside, question about Beach Mix. Does anyone know/remember if the first press came with the sticker? I had it sold but now buying it back and can't remember if it did or didn't. Anyone? Thanks.

The design for the FC shirt is nice, love the smoke effect. I want the travel pack so bad!

I really thing that SHHH! is a new song, it's even there on the hooded jacket.

I forgot to mention about the possible setlist, it's nice to see Trust Your Love and love across the ocean there <3 If she could add So Into You I would die of happiness.

The Artist booklet scans from Baidu (with watermark):

The DVD is at #4 today.
I still wonder why releases of single concerts sell less altogether than Tour releases.
WOML Tour sold around 20k altogether while charting for 8 weeks (we only have the numbers for the first 3 weeks). The Artist will surely do less than that.
It's a pity.

I love this tour's merchandise a lot, i wanna own many items.
I think i will order light stick (i still wonder how change colors) and check shirt.

If those songs on it is actually setlist, i'm a little bit disappointed. Most of them are the songs she often performs, but i'm ok there are few favorite songs such as Lollipop and Dreaming now.

thanks alot for the scans they look great:love

Watched THE ARTIST Blu-Ray. An amazing show overall but it's still saddens me a bit how her vocals have declined since her pregnancy. 2011 was the last year of her vocal prime IMO. Ever since Premium Night ~Love & Songs~ I was hoping that it would only be temporary but I guess it's time to accept that Kuu's current vocals are here to stay. Oh well. Hope she takes extra care of her voice this year.

Some women experience some changes to their voice during/after the pregnancy.

I don't think her voice has deteriorated that much but during last year she did have some struggles.

Anyway, I hope she will announce a new single so I can bundle the BR and the single in one package before the first press for THE ARTIST is out of print

Minttulatte 26th March 2016 08:39 PM

Kuu's vocals didn't change that much due to her pregnancy lol. Adele is the one whose vocals went shit after pregnancy. Kuu, on the other hand, still sounds great live.

Gustavopc 26th March 2016 09:36 PM

^ She also went through a surgery on her vocal chords, didnt she? That might have really had something with it, bit either way her vocals did not go THAT bad not even a bit :laugh


I don't think her voice changed much, I didn't even notice a change tbh lol She sounded great as usual imo on both JAPONESQUE and BV Tour, had some troubles on the 2nd limited live (but then she was sick, that's another issue), great again during WOML Tour and then she had some missteps towards the end of the year, but I think that's cause she was singing the hell out of her, she was really busy last year. I hope she recovered properly since THE ARTIST and won't pull it too much on this year (but thn the tour goes on till November........)

And about those songs on the jacket... A year ago I'd have said "of course they're gonna be on the setlist, why would they put those names there and not use them?", buuut ayu used some songs lyrics on the TA Tour goodies and they did not make it to the show, so I'm not sure this time :laugh But I do think SHHH! is gonna be a song name, it would TOOO random if not. If it's gonna be a single, I hope she releases Cupcake with it!

I think Adele sounds fine, even after the surgery on her vocal chords. She said her vocal range got even a little better after the surgery, so yeah, I think she still sounds really good.

The problem with Kuu is that her latest songs are quite loud, with a lot of shouting, but when she sing songs that are more soft and with her regular tone, she sounds good like always.

The only thing that is bothering me is the way that she's singing her ballads right now, like she has a delay of one second with the instrumental. It's this new way that she sings Ai no Uta, but it doesn't stop in just one song. The performance of you, Moon Crying and Brave during The Artist, it's like the song get even slower. The upbeat songs sounds fine, but the ballads... I don't know if you guys can understand what I'm trying to say. haha

This is exactly what I'm trying to say! Her ballad performances use to be effortless and smooth and now it's like her voice can't keep up. :(

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pD93la8QiE compare this to Walk's performance in THE ARTIST and the difference is obvious.

But this hasn't anything to do with her vocals, that's the style how she's singing it.

Thank you so much, YukiUsaki! :heart
