She said she'll make a comeback live around her birthday date, so there will be something this year But it's sooo far away ):

I'm still loving all JAPONESQUE songs, I even started loving the ones I didn't give attetion previously, like Brave and Everyday

[happiholic★]

I never did get the hate for Everyday. I think its really cute.

[ren'ai]

^Everyday definatily grew on me, I'm loving it now, didnt really care for it at the beginning. The only song that still hasnt grown on me is Brave. Still loving all the other tracks though <3 Kuu and Ayu have killed me this year.

I'm more than happy that I got the CD LTD. version of JAPONESQUE.....the photobook is so beautiful and the calendar is cool, too

JAPONESQUE is my favourite album this year and it is simply EPIC ♥.♥

yeah, i know. But I'm sure it'll be difficult to get the ticket on that day, since it's her comeback. And I think it'll be something like a one-day show (like Fantasia)

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I hope she does it at the Tokyo Dome but it seems like she wants to do a whole ballad show at Budokan.

[kaled kalil]

I'm hoping for at least something from JAPONESQUE Tour, since she was worried about not fit in the outfits, maybe some things are already done. I kinda don't want the Budokan thing, a concert with just ballads is too much for me, but I'll like anyway, the comeback is welcome in any way. XD

About JAPONESQUE, now I'm really into the album, I wasn't that excited when leaked and I heard for the 1st time, now it's a really good album.. And even more when I put Say Her Name before Slow, the album get even better. Just a flawless era, for sure.

"Slow" (both the original and the remix from DH4) is amazing. One of her best songs so far.

TRUE THAT

Koda Kumi, who is pregnant with her first child, appeared healthy on Hoshino Aki’s blog as she attended a ‘Mama Party’.

The group of mothers and soon-to-be mothers had lunch at Kanda Uno’s house. Kanda recently had her first baby last October. The members of the “Mama Party” were Kanda Uno, Hoshino Aki,Nakanishi Mona, and Koda Kumi. Kanda and the other women were able to chat and discuss questions and concerns they have about motherhood.

Kanda also posted a March 17th blog entry that she visited Koda Kumi’s house and had a fun lunch with Koda and her husband KENJI03. Kanda took a shot with KENJI03 and posted, “Kuu-chan is here with no make-up on, so I didn’t want to be rude and take a picture.”

Koda Kumi is expected to deliver her baby this summer.

omg...driving hits 4 is so good! i think its the best of the series by far!

[Heavenly]

I'm really in love with the remix of JUICY ! ♥

[Minttulatte]

I've learned to worship every song on JAPONESQUE and to me there's no filler songs in there at all. Definitely the album of 2012 for me. I do love Party Queen too very much, but Kuu really blew me away million times better so nothing can beat JAPONESQUE. Kuu's albums has always blown me away in a totally different way than any other. She really makes me go more or less "wow" with every release and that's what I want from the Queen of my Universe~

And Driving Hit's 4 is still amazing. I gotta listen to it through again tomorrow if I can. *_* I've been so busy with school that I haven't really had time to listen Kuu's new releases as much as I had planned.

[daybreak123]

She's looking totally adorable and healthy in the Mama Party pic

I'm not really feeling DH4 to be honest.. I don't really care about remixes in general, so it isn't a big surprise. I'm loving the Poppin' love cocktail remix though, although I can't stand the original song lol
I like the Hot Stuff remix too

JAPONESQUE is still sounding as good as it sounded when I listened to it for the first time. I've been listening to especially Lay Down a lot recently.

[Gustavopc]

I think her live comeback will be similar to Dream music park, which recycled UNIVERSE Tour, but it could be smaller, with the usual length of her tour concerts. Since I can't go to Japan to watch her live, I prefer a one or two date show, cause I can get its DVD earlier
I don't think it'll be her live at Budokkan also, when you think of "Koda Kumi comeback" a ballad-only concert sounds so wrong d: Maybe next year, for xmas or valentine's day?

FINALLY listened to the entire album
Is All for you supposed to sound really quiet and strange? I don't like it tbh

ESCALATE and Lay Down are really boring filler tracks tbh, No Man's Land is ear-gasmic omg, dat chorus <3 Interlude is so sexy unf and I LOVE Everyday and IN THE AIR, so light and fluffy. Poppin' is awful, KO-SO-KO-SO is still sexy, Ai wo is cute.

[emi♡]

^I think that's the one that's live.

I liked the idea of live songs...but idk about that song lol

[NintendoHTF1242]

It's awful tbh, I cannot stand her voice.
