[Koda Kumi] The 186th Thread - 60th brand new single on the way

[Zeke.]

Shit, I just got back from going out tonight (well 3 hours ago) and broke it down to Kumi's sickest grooves.

Driving
Under
Taboo
Introduction + Get Up & Move
Black Candy
Lollipop
D.D.D.
Love goes like...
BUT
Candy
This is not a love song

Even Shake It Up, which I always disliked. But it was pretty fun to dance to!

I think there was maybe more cause I've just been sweating nonstop rolling through the bops of hers for a really long time. It's 5:30am now. Lol.

But yeah, Kumi's music is THE BEST to dance to. I would die to have a Ku dance party.

Weekly position/sales update for Best Single Collection

DVD - #24 ; 510
Total 4 week sales - 14,929

No numbers for the Blu-ray

Also it's odd that avex Taiwan hasn't schedule to release Best Single Collection DVD yet in Taiwan , they probably might only do that until mid Jan 2017 ?

They never took this long to release a Kuu DVD D:

[Earth_maiden]

^I've been keeping an eye on YA and 5music for it, I was wondering why it wasn't out yet.

My friend subscribes to avex Taiwan e news updates on new releases so she kept me updated on a regular basis

She has already gave me updates on what releases will be out in Taiwan until 6th Jan 2017 with no mention of Best Single Collection DVD :x

[kaled kalil]

Damn! That's amazing. I always forget how huge Koi no Tsubomi was, selling over one million digital copies.

[Corvina]

Koi no Tsubomi was actually certified for 2,250,000 digital downloads.
For comparison: Flavor of Life - ballad version- by Utada, which is at #12 in that recochoku 15 years ranking, was certified for 2,750,000 digital downloads.
For the Top 10 of songs you do need around 3 million and more - which sadly isn't possibly today anymore to achieve.

Btw. here's Kuu top Karaoke songs for 2016 by Joysound:
https://www.joysound.com/web/search/artist/5289/ranking

Top 10 for 2016:
01. Ai no Uta
02. Cutie Honey
03. Moon Crying
04. you
05. Butterfly
06. Suki de
07. Saigo no Ame
08. Koi no Tsubomi
09. Someday
10. real Emotion

They also have an age and gender graphic of people singing her songs (so basically also a graphic representing her fans):


Most of her fans are middle aged - but she does have a significant amount of fans in all age groups.
That's also what I've observed at her concerts.
Btw. she mostly has female fans, but the male fans she has are some very dedicated groups of males from my experience.

Also, Ai no Uta is the #46 most sung song for 2016 in DAM's Karaoke ranking:

[Corvina]

Sorry for double posting, don't want to make my last post even longer. xD

Kuu just posted this photo:

Spoiler:

とある撮影！

She's shooting something today.

[a❤martian]

Even though it's a LQ picture, everything about it looks on point and I'm pumped!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[Isicio]

I hope is a PV related shooting, I'm bored to wait till the new single/album news, I'm glad she is selling tickets for her next year tour, but please say something about new music u.u' I know maybe albums are not the most important thing since she doesn't sell too much but well I hope she will release something soon.
