[Koda Kumi] The 196th Thread - My music is designed from my DNA

[Corvina]

So Kuu just confirmed (again) in the short video from the venue in her Insta stories, that we should look forward to the last two days, December 30 and 31, cause they're going to be different.

But I have no idea what NG is.
If somebody knows, please tell us!

New Gachapons only for those two dates as well.



The tour ones are nice!

[KarenPang]

In drama/filming context , NG means Not Good . I don't know if this applies to what Kuu said on Twitter

And the gachagacha are nice . I'm sure they will be easily sold out on the last 2 dates of the tour & countdown live as it's so easy to keep putting 500 Yen coins non stop into the machines , haha

[Xianghua]

Oh man, I really want those gachas!

[Corvina]

Yeah, thank you, she means bloopers and funny mishaps!
Her dancers were posting about it as well in their stories and they said some more, so I now know:
- her dancers are going to take part in the MC on both final dates
- they're going to show and talk about bloopers and mishaps from the whole tour in the MC for both final dates as well.

That's why she ends with "Let's all laugh together at the end of the year!".

Btw. they're also going to sell the Anniversary shirt and the calender at the final dates, but limited to 1 per customer again.

I was expecting something music related, like different songs, but let's wait and see when it happens. I expect for this MC to be around one hour long... haha

How random it's this thing with A Star is Born. Since I don't care about the movie, or Lady Gaga, I couldn't care less, but that's nice I guess.

About the you+Megumi no Hito performance, it was okay. A lot of energy, but it still bothers me the way that she's singing some of her ballads, like she can't keep with the time of the song, or the high notes. She was singing just like this on The Artist and it bothered me so much.

I love so much the gashapons! The outtakes are pretty cool and it's interesting that she's rocking a blue/green wig (?) for the WOML Tour.

Yeah, she's taking her time to hit the notes properly and changes between soft and powerful tones.
I prefer that to her oversinging her ballads like in the past.
In 2009 and 2010 she adlibbed some of her songs to death.

And there might be more changes, she just revealed this one.

Just saw by chance.
W FACE Tour is at #40 for DVD/BluRay on CDJapan's weekly chart.



Interesting considering it was released last year.

[wednesday]

I also want that smartphone gatcha. They are all so nice, but I think if I could choose I would get JAPONESQUE. The visuals from that era are still so beautiful!

[KarenPang]

Go to Osaka

So awesome

[Corvina]

First people I've seen getting all of them:





Really don't wanna know, how much they've spent, haha.

Kuu and her dancers also got some in her stories.
She signed them and they gonna give them to fans as presents.

[KarenPang]

^ Probably a lot if fans are willing to get all the gachagacha designs . It's not unheard of fans spending more than 10,000 Yen just on it alone

That's more than enough to empty out the whole gachagacha machines haha but I know for L'arc's most recent L'ArChristmas , each fan is limited to play the gachagacha machine 5 times

Of course if you get duplicates , you can trade with others at the venue without the need to pay extra charges as you & the other party pay for the same thing at face value

The autographed gachagacha are considered a premium with them being personally signed by Kuu which I'm very sure they will sold at a premium price online if people decide to sell them away

[Corvina]

Yeah, according to fan reports, the gachas sold out over an hour ago already. ._____.
The show today just started.

They've put the autographed gachas back into the machine as a surprise to whoever gets them.
No matter if with or without autograph, they're going to be expensive if somebody resells them, cause they're limited in number.
The 'normal' ones from the other tour dates are already hard to get.

[KarenPang]

Haha omg I'm frankly not surprised about this . Nothing new there really x)

Reason why gachagachas are so popular as it's cheap and it's very easy to keep playing the machine until you get the 1 you want if not all designs

I've been there done that before so I know haha

For Kuu's case hers is already considered not so bad . Going to Animate & see all the different kuji + gachagacha from various animes , you can go bankrupt immediately

[Gustavopc]

omg the gachapons are so pretty Love the TRICK Tour one the most !

[Corvina]

Today it's even worse - the gachapons already sold out an hour ago...

Excited for the CDL!
Can't watch it live, cause I'm still at work when it starts.
But gonna replay it before I go to my own New Year's Eve party with friends.

Some small infos from the show yesterday:

Spoiler:

Couldn't find a setlist, but
- the MC is an hour long, so the whole show is a bit more than 3 hours.
- they use bills again to shoot them out, for PARTY I assume. They have an CDL design.

[kaled kalil]

The main concert is over, it's the same setlist with no change at all, as far as I know.

It's time for the encore now.

[Corvina]

Encore starts now.
Her team is awesome - fans were singing WLAK OF MY LIFE and they waited till the fans were at the end of the chorus to start the encore.^^
And now they're playing games again with the fans!
Hilarious!

[kaled kalil]

So no music at all for the countdown? Haha

[Corvina]

Happy New Year, Japan!

Idk about the main setlist, cause I turned in later, but she's adding more songs now.
Cutie Honey, currently D.D.D.
Now Loaded!

Oh, walk is really strong vocally!
And that after her being emotional in the last bit of the MC.

[Corvina]

Did I mention that I love her team?
Nobody wants to go, fans started to sing CHANCES ALL slowly and her team reacted with displaying the lyrics on the big screen! Now everybody is singing loudly! ❤
Her team probably stalked her fans at the venue and Instagram, cause the intention singing it was shared there.

DOUBLE ENCORE!
UNIVERSE now!
POP DIVA!
Vocals still so strong!

Ok, show is finished.
Replay option starts 01/01 at noon Japanese time.
They've also extended the time limit - you can replay till the end of January 3rd.
Good for me, my friends are waiting for me anyway, so gonna watch the whole thing tomorrow, yay!

[Gustavopc]

A pity just the encore was different but given it was right after the actual tour that could have been expected. Anwyay DDD and UNIVERSE are always great additions to the setlist
