You remember Kumi saying things on Radio about rotten amniotic fluid?
and she got suspended for one month but finally it will last 'til april
she made public apologizes but it didn't really change something I think
and her BC Tour will come out by the end of the month
also, we will see her in a magazine soon, the first since she decided to put everything on hold after this 'scandal'

[AyuHamasaki01]

^OMG! I didn't know that...
when did she say that...? tell me more

[minna]

Kumi Koda comment goes "rotten," suspended for month

Pop star Kumi Koda has found herself in trouble after making a careless remark on a radio show earlier this week. As a result, Koda will be putting all of her activities on hold for the time being.

The comment came on Tuesday night while Koda was hosting "All Night Nippon." The topic of her manager's marriage came up, and Koda was asked about when her manager was planning to have children. She made a seemingly light-hearted reply that "when women turn 35, their amniotic fluid goes rotten, so I'd like them to have a child by 35."

The inaccurate statement sparked a lot of criticism among listeners, particularly on the internet. Koda issued a public apology on Friday through the websites of Nippon Broadcasting System and Avex, but the damage had already been done. Cosmetics firm KOSE has temporarily removed her presence from its Visee site, and promotional events for her new album "Kingdom" have all been canceled. Koda was also scheduled to appear on a Tokyo FM show on Saturday, but she has been replaced by fellow Avex artist Ami Suzuki.

However, some of her television appearances will go on as planned, such as the already-recorded "Koi no Kara Sawagi" on Saturday and "Tetsuko no Heya" on Thursday.

According to Avex, the length of Koda's self-suspension has not yet been decided but is expected to last until the end of this month. Koda has a national tour scheduled to start in April, so she hopes to resume activities in time for rehearsals in mid-March.

so she said that on the beginning of february
but she didn't want to be mean or anything
it turned out that it made a big scandal
Kose stopped their collaboration (I think), the site is now without her
and before the site was down
her website has no 'layout' - apologizes and the main things like discography
she stopped for 1 month but now it's going to last longer
they didn't know if she would do her Tour (at first, but Avex said she would)
and she made public apologizes which didn't really change the opinion of people
and her fans were really angry

oh and they stopped the promotion of Kingdom!
(poor kuu )

thanks for the info..
it will surpass 600K

[waterballoon]

Kingdom is going strong!

And AyumiHamasaki01, ACTUALLY, no "news" really appeared... just the Black Cherry concert tour DVD (which has like 32 songs whoopee) coming out in late March... and as minna has posted, the amniotic acids scandal... bad start of 2008 for Kuu...

[AyuHamasaki01]

How is the tour for 2008 called?
So, actually, there is no Koda news because of the suspension and stuff?

[KarenPang]

wah are you sure or not ? where did you read that from though ?

btw , Kingdom has dropped to no.44 in the daily albums chart

Yes, it's called Honey Flash. I didn't read all 8 pages but I think the thread title is good enough.

[minna]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh HF power !

yep! Except about the Tour release
and there was a rumor about a remix Best but I don't think this one is confirmed

we probably won't have news until she decides to stop the suspension which means April

[AyuHamasaki01]

damn that sucks....
Well, from the positive side; she does have time for herself and now she can see what real clothes look like

[minna]

yeah well it's true but from what we've heard she was more depressed than anything

[DestinyWishes]

I remember seeing that interview where she apologized, she was crying and I felt like crying, she didn't even look like Ku anymore.

[milky_way]

I want new single news!! *is impatient*

[DestinyWishes]

It feels like we've been waiting forever!

[minna]

yeah but I don't know if we we'll have something before summer
If there was something about a single coming soon, I am wondering how people would react in japan

[v3lun420]

I can;t wait her come back. Why is her suspension extended til 4/12?

[Amai Yume]

Yeah I wonder about that too. I mean she's been on suspension so she's paid for what she said. I mean what more could they want from her. They'll have to get over it. I hope we get another 4-A single somewhat like 4-Hot Wave. Like 4 different sounds. I miss Kumi but I'm glad that BEST got postponed / cancelled. B&L was un-necessary, this is just ABSOLUTELY un-necessary.

EDIT: Yeah I know it's wiki but I didn't know April 12 is the day LIVE TOUR ~Kingdom~ starts and that's why the day keeps coming up. I thought it was just some random day...
