It's not that I'm not happy - but what is there to be happy about? She teased the 60th single at the first concert month ago and now we did not even get a date or a real preview.

That there would be a 60th single was pretty clear - should I start celebrating that or what? Its like throwing a party for the next album that will be released someday too.

You have all the rights to be disappointed.
But you were able to watch the whole Encore from the final date for free today. And if nobody of the western fans, who went to the tour, would have talked about the 60th single being displayed at the end of the shows, you'd only known about it now.
Getting a preview today probably means it's really near. It being shown live at LINE is somehow lika a official annoucement ( as the Encore was cut from the WOWOW broadcast). Also for (Japanese) people actually able to go, another all country tour surely is a big announcement.
And actually I just find it interesting, how differently people react to such things, hence the smiley.

I'm happy with the announcement. At least it's confirmed. And sounds good!

Nobody is complaining about being able to watch the final act of the tour, but it's again how the hype doesn't match the announcement (for some people). I feel like complaining doesn't make anyone less fan of her, it's a natural thing to expect something and being a little disappointed if what you expected doesn't happen. It's not her fault tho.

As everybody knows, she will release something eventually, and it's getting sooner and sooner, and at the end of the day we're all waiting for something to happen and everybody reacts in a different way.

What is the major news? 5 seconds of the new single? She doesn't say a date or something about the release right? So we don't have any announcement finally from what I see. We all know she will release the 60th single.

[kaled kalil]

^ The announcement is that she's doing another tour with dates for all the 47 prefectures again next year, and also the new single.

[Luck16]

Just as was predicted, nothing major. I had even forgotten about it lol

Nice that she announced the new tour, so it's pretty much confirmed a new album is coming early next year, as it was already expected.

Yes, I forget it.

Omg love that tiny sneak preview of the 60th single, it sounds badasss! And the Birthday Eve perf was so cute, just when I've been listening to this song non stop. You don't know how much I miss her -kawaii- stuff (Milk Tea is also on repeat).

Another freakin long hall tour is not cool tho, imo. I was expecting a super amazing arena tour (again) with less dates for her not to get too exhausted and work more on new releases *sighs*

Wait, 60th single?? Wasn't the last one Hotel?

No, after Hotel she released Dance In The Rain and Shhh! (but both are 'special singles')

It's just announced as 2017 tour yet.
Could be a mixed tour with halls and arenas. We have to wait till we get further info.

I don't remember how it was before. But since JAPONESQUE we always got the tour info first and later the one for the new album.

[Zeke.]

The preview for the new single sounds good but I must keep my expectations low; it could be one of those tracks with a great buildup but falling flat in the chorus. It's been aaaaaaages since I loved a Kumi track that sounds like the style this new track shall be in, but those kind of tracks (when they actually are full ON) are my favorite.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I have to say I'm a little nervous. I'm scared we'll get a limited mu-mo/tour 60th single and the tour will be called Best Single Collection 2 (to go along with the 2nd prefecture tour theme).

We deserve a PROPER (no mu-mo exclusive) 60th single and an album after how boring things have been for Kuu musically since Summer Of Love. Yeah the songs were nice and all but the SOL and WOL weren't exciting releases at all...

[Corvina]

Having SoL and WoL before the BSC Tour, a Best Tour was to be expected to be honest.
This time we only have a single announced. So I do believe we'll get something else before as well (an album probably or maybe another Best, but I don't think this is very likely)

[LiDaYu]

Fyi : live history trailer don't give us a release day... only january 2017...
