[Koda Kumi] The 178th thread - Summer of Love 2015

[melissalove]

Awesome setlist, a mixture of new and old!! Kumi never disappoints live.

[Gustavopc]

(it's kinda funny how people here are happy and even satisfied with this setlist while there are other people mad at ayu for singing old stuff on NHK SONGS, jeez)

[Zahara]

Kuu's setlist is pretty good. I still want her to sing the remix of Shake It Up dirty ballroom again. Underrated song.

Does anyone know if the single Real Emotion has some of the Final Fantasy X2 songs on it?? I'm trying to find FF music and some of the songs I'm missing are from the Real Emotion single, apparently. Same goes for the Come With Me single. If anyone knows/has downloads I would be really happy!!

The thing about Ayu's setlist is there are 3 really old songs out of 5 and then 2 really new ones while Kuu's is very balanced
UNIVERSE (2010)
House Party (2015)
BUT (2007)
Shake it up (2005)
D.D.D (2005)
LALALALALA (2013)
WALK OF MY LIFE (2015)
EX TAPE (2015)
IS THIS TRAP? (2013)
BE MY BABY (2011)
Poppin' love cocktail (2011)

Sounds more balanced and modern than
SEASONS (2000)
M (2000)
Evolution (2001)
MOWY (2014)
Step By Step (2015)

I can see why people are generally not satisfied with Ayu's setlist and think this one is amazing tbh..

a-nation island Koda Kumi 15th Anniversary Premium Live change of timing

Old timeslot：Doors open 4pm／Starts 5pm
↓

New timeslot：Doors open 5pm／Starts 6pm

http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1024641

No change on the date (2nd Aug) though

And SUMMER of LOVE stayed put at #8 over the weekend

[Gustavopc]

Wonder if a Weekly Top 3 is unlikely for SoL. Top 5 is a safer bet for it...

[Marcelo]

Number 7 weekly with 17 954 copies sold

[Gustavopc]

rofl nevermind

[oaristos]

Well, I guess that's okay.

Looks like SUMMER of LOVE is strictly for diehard fans in the know D:

The main problem is that instead of release them as single they created ANOTHER best/collection album. People may feel confused and think that's the same summer song collection which was already released last year in digital form.

[Corvina]

Well, Kuu herself called Summer of Love a single in the Line Live Cast.
And the sales are pretty much like her last single sales.
So, you can think for yourself now.

[happiholic★]

I was watching that last night, and I noticed it that she called it a single, too. But, it depends on what chart it was on. If Oricon charted it under and album, its an album.

[Ryusei]

Maybe she didn't know it's an album lol

Summer Single Collection 2013 was released 2 years ago & not last year digitally lol

That said , I'm not surprised SUMMER of LOVE sales are low . When I saw the tracklist , I was already quite put off by it . It's the 3 new songs that serve as the 'carrot' for fans to buy the release

I think the sales will be even lower if there was no presence of new material included in SUMMER of LOVE

Oh well it doesn't matter now since Kuu considered it as a single & its 1st week sales were almost on par with what HOTEL sold :x

[Gustavopc]

These sales just make me a bit afraid of having almost no new releases on the second semester... I know she's the Queen of Live and stuff, but 2010 was real good when we talk about the new songs she put out, but now I doubt she'll keep it up since it seems her budget has been moving from music to concerts d:

It doesn't matter was it 2013 or 2014 - they released enough crap like that in past 2 years. Point is that putting 3 new songs don't really help to sell this album and fans will have to pay again for the rest of songs they already have on other singles/albums. And yes - that's ALBUM. It was released as album, it looks like album and it's promoted as album - no matter how she calling it now.

I'm waiting for her next upcomming release: "WINTER SONG COLLECTION" (maybe we'll find there 2 new ballads)

BTW I've just watch "HURRICANE" PV but I couldn't enjoy it. Camera is changing too fast so it's hard to see any dance. It's just blink blink, new scene each second, lights up lights down. They should put warning on the start that it shouldn't be watch by people with epilepsy.

[Gustavopc]

^ People said ayu would release A WINTER BEST also and it didn't happen I think that's very unlikely tbh
