I'm sure she will be releasing something new in early 2018 , as to if it's a new single or album I don't know but I look forward to see what's her next music release

[Isicio]

New PV for the album or for a single I'm excited!

[Gustavopc]

I guess that after the singles project we're getting either a best or an album... Or at least I hope so, I want normal releases so I don't have to pay tenso so many times again

Would love to have a best album. Hopefully she follows her old best album name pattern!

[Corvina]

I don't think another best will happen.
Earliest 20th Anniversary again.
My bet is on a new album or something related to the coming FC Tour.

Pics from the PV set and styling from the FC:

[Gustavopc]

omg love the styling and it looks like a nice place to shoot as well!

[maze]

it looks like the next Ultraviolet, atrocious hairstyle and clothes. lmao

I am more curious about the next tour, since it's a fanclub tour I hope it's a 3/4-date arena tour lol. miss the queen on bigger stages

Announcement of Kuu's 1st fanclub tour in 5 years



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih84rpPb9cg

Koda Kumi Fanclub Live Tour ~Let's Party Vol.3~ will be a live house tour which's my favourite type of concert venue as you'll be able to see Kuu upclose & personal while you risk getting shoved/pushed by other fans inside , LOL

[Corvina]

Kuu just posted on Line, that the FC Tour info is out at her FC page!
Guess I'm not the only one looking for it, cause Japanese Koda Gumi crashed, lol.

It's a video, so I made a screencap of the dates:


April 29 - Fukuoka
April 30 - Fukuoka
May 5 - Osaka
May 6 - Osaka
May 12 - Aichi/Nagoya
May 13 - Aichi/Nagoya
May 19 - Hokkaido/Sapporo
May 26 - Hiroshima
May 27 - Hiroshima
June 2 - Miyagi/Sendai
June 3 - Miyagi/Sendai
June 9 - Tokyo
June 10 - Tokyo
June 16 - Shizuoka
June 17 - Shizuoka

Kuu is in the studio for the video and she says she' preparing different stuff there for the FC Tour.
Guess that means an album?
Just two dates for both Osaka and Tokyo. Imo that won't be enough and sold out very fast.
But a FC tour is meant to be something special and personal, so that might be on purpose (and it's in live houses as well).

Kuu also says in the video, that they changed the system this time and it's meant to be a tour for people comign with their friends to enjoy.
Means everybody can only apply for 2 tickets and the accompanying person doesn't have to be a FC member.
(which makes it probably even harder to get tickets...)

On Line she shared this pic with it - it's the full styling for the new PV:


Btw the jacket she's wearing there and on the other photo is her current favourite jacket as it's so warm.
It's from the Japanese Gyaru brand Kumatan, if you're interested:

Info is coming soon.
You have to be a member of the FC till 9th January 2018 though, so I guess lottery starts later in January.
As I said above, tickets are limited to 2 with the accompanying person not needed to be a FC member.

[KarenPang]

For live house venues , ticket balloting tends to be 2 tickets per person cos the venues are considerably smaller under hall , arena , dome , stadium

I'm surprised the accompanying person no need to be in the fanclub cos that's normally not the case

Live house capacities is normally 1,000 - 2,000+ people

[Corvina]

I definitely won't book a flight until I know if I've won tickets or not!

[pedronekoi]

Do we know the price of the tickets already?

Two dates for Tokyo and Osaka is NOT ENOUGH (lol)! Also Tokyo days will be on the weekend so even harder to get a ticket. I really wanted to try the Tokyo dates...

All dates are on the weekend, except for one, but this one is on a holiday.
For her last FC tour, most dates were on a week day, so that changed ( I guess probably because her fans complained).
And she had at least 3 dates for Osaka and Tokyo there.

Price is not out yet, but for Let's Party ~Vol.2~ they were 6,800 Yen for each ticket.

Ah, man, I know they always go for exclusiveness for FC tours.
Her first FC tour in 2008 only had 12 dates in live houses (the 2nd 19, but most of them on week days as I mentioned).
But girl, you just sold out 18 dates for both your last hall tours 2016 and 2017 with your FC only.
I wish everybody could get a ticket.

[KarenPang]

Estimate capacity for each venue

Fukuoka DRUM LOGOS - 1,000
Osaka's Zepp Namba - 2,090 (1st floor) , 440 (2nd floor with seats)
Zepp Nagoya - 1,800
Zepp Sapporo - 2,000
BLUE LIVE Hiroshima - 1,200
Sendai Rensa - 700
Tokyo's Zepp DiverCity - 2,473
Shizuoka SOUND SHOWER ark - 600

Wow , Hiroshima and Shizuoka's venues are very small & intimate :O

Not sure if Zepp Namba will open tickets for 2nd floor but I wouldn't sit in a concert so x)

Also when I went Zepp Namba in the beginning of 2017 , there were barriers on the 1st floor inside so it's not so bad but I was so scared I might get crushed D:

[Xianghua]

Tour starting later than I expected.
But I think April-June is a good time of year to tour.

Is it possible to join the fan club now and be able to apply for tickets? When ayu goes on tour they always mention “if you join by xx date you can apply for the ballot!” What is the cutoff for being able to apply for the dates of this tour?

[Corvina]

Another shooting today (not for the PV apparently):

Read again, your question is answered in my quote. xD
9th January.

[Ayufan11]

I feel like Ku's music has gotten way too urban for my taste that its really hard for me to enjoy. Anyone else agree? I miss her older pop/rnb style or if she did something a little more like Namie I'd enjoy.

I assume her new "style" is doing pretty well as she's been pretty urban for a while now...

I did enjoy the track W Face though. Such a bop.
