Japan’s sexy singing queen, Koda Kumi will be having her first overseas concert on the 3rd and 4th in Taiwan’s arena. Yesterday she arrived at Taiwan and was welcomed by hundreds of fans at the airport with their yelling and screaming. She was so happy her eyes became teary and said she’s really touched. This time coming to Taiwan, she will meet up with Show Luo, who many years ago have sung the duet ‘Twinkle’ with her. For both shows of the concert, she has invited Show to be the guest artist.

Koda Kumi, who’s competing with Aymi Hamasaki to become the Avex big sister, has a total of 130 Japanese crew members coming with her to Taiwan. Compared to Otsuka Ai, from the same company and who performed in the same arena, Koda Kumi has 50 more people. Adding the Taiwanese crew members, in two shows, there are 150 crew members. But Koda Kumi is extremely easy-going and does not have any special requests in terms of hotels or restaurants.

Yesterday, dressed in a sexy leopard patterned outfit, with a beautiful smile on her face, she saw many fans, dressed in custom-made traditional clothing, welcoming her. At the airport, she was extremely touched and even cried. When fans saw their ‘Chief,’ they also cried and screamed even louder. Koda Kumi repeatedly said “I’m really touched” eight to nine times.

Koda Kumi directly went to practice for the concert. This concert in Taipei will have a completely different design; the contents will be different from the concert tour in Japan.
