Other artistes also announce tours before any of their new releases are out , not just Kuu
And the fact that a considerable amount of dates are sold out for KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2017 ～W FACE～ , that's a good thing isn't it ?
I personally like live house venues out of hall , arena & let alone dome due to the close proximity you get (even though you have to watch out for getting crushed to death if you're in the audience
) & even if you're far at the back , it's not so bad
Also for hall venues , even if you're seated on the 2nd/3rd floor , you wouldn't feel you're missing out on things . You still can get a pretty good view
