[Koda Kumi] The 197th Thread - Hits for Driving

[freedreamer]

I saw this on line and i was like WOAH what on earth..is she redoing her two best tours ever?!?!

[thirduniverse]

Is it too late to rejoin the fanclub to apply for the first round of tickets? This looks incredible!

[pedronekoi]

Omg, two different concerts in the same day?? I can imagine the stage being the same with addition of props and huge screens. I hope she keeps "Candle light" in the Black Cherry one <3

[minkAYuko]

you can call me st*pid! but I don't get what's going on. So... she is redoing both concerts?? like probably same setlist same props etc? that's all we know right? that sounds amazing indeed!

[kaled kalil]

^ No one is gonna call you that, we know pretty much nothing as well. lol

More like revisiting both concerts. We don't know for sure what's gonna be remade and what's new. It's a safe bet that she might be singing more of the songs from respective concerts and doing similar sets (like first act, second act and all), adding new songs here and there. The main idea, as far as I know, it's to bring the "arena" feel to a hall tour.

Both concerts are going to be happening during the same day, as it seems to be. It might be two small sets, two whole concerts, we know nothing about the concert except that it's a "re-live" of both experiences.

She did something similar with her Taiwan Live, back in 2009, but it was a cut from the first act of Black Cherry Tour, with the ballad section of Trick Tour. Similar in reusing the same costumes and songs, but we don't know if it's gonna be like this (probably not, judging by the new outfits).

Just found out about this! I'm super excited, the promo pics look great! Two different concerts in one day seems like a lot of work for her though.

[KarenPang]

It's not unusual for artistes to do 2 performances on the same day , well based on from the ones I listen/support to

But to redo old tours' concepts into current old new ones , I never seen that before so that's no doubt a 1st for me if not most of us

[Corvina]

The only info about the concept they gave so far is this:

あの衝撃が蘇る！
“進化した倖田來未”が2007年開催「Black Cherry」、
2013年開催「JAPONESQUE」をどう2019年にre(LIVE)するのか？
乞うご期待！

The impact is being revived!
How is the evolved Koda Kumi going to re(live) Black Cherry Tour 2007 and JAPONESQUE Tour 2013 in the year 2019?
Stay tuned!

In hindsight it's pretty clever - with a look in the social media comments it's clear that for a lot of fans Black Cherry was their first Kuu concert.
And there are also a lot of younger fans who weren't able to go to these older concerts at the same time.
Considering Japanese media reported she gained young fans with her viral hit last year even more so - getting to know her better and see something from her past.

This also might explain why she has so many dancers now. I can see her working with two different teams for both shows.
She already rotated single members of her team within a tour in the past. E.g. last year for the AND FC Tour Waka and Achi did different shows - Waka got married in May, so Achi did the April and May shows and Waka the June shows.
For the FC tour last year she also had two shows on one day for several stops.
But this was the same show and with 1,5h a bit shorter than a normal show.
She really has to restrict her MC and restrain herself from talking too much, lol.

Full schedule should be out soon.

The deadline for joining the FC for the tickets is May 21st.

Yes, if you notice the hairstyle for the black cherry one it is!

The costumes are better than the originals too. also if she recorded a bunch of new songs probably a new album is on the way and she will just keep the concept of both tours yet she will perform new songs + old songs? as this looks like an entrance for her 20th I think the main purpose is just to revive her popularity a little bit, so she can do an arena tour + dome concert for her 20th celebration next year.

[Ryusei]

I don't think she'll do 2 in one day she'll probably just have dates for both right next to each other like one on the 21st and the other on the 22nd for example.

No, it's confirmed by the media that she will.
2 a day on weekends, weekdays one each day.

Here's the snippet from modelpress e.g.:
単に1日2公演であればさほど珍しいものでもないが、まったく違う演目で1日2公演を行う。この2つの演目 はテーマはもちろん、楽曲も世界観もまるで違うものである。セットはどうなるのか？照明は？演 出は？
※平日は1公演の予定。詳細は後日発表。

In less than one year, the numbers are getting bigger and bigger. Spotify is really taking off in Japan I guess. BTW it's a top 24 because 24 is a good song and also to show a remix is there as well. lol

[wednesday]

The new concert concept sounds cool! I would also have been okay with a Universe tour revamp

ai no uta power!!

Yes, Spotify is getting really big here especially because you can post what you're listening on Instagram Stories and people love it.
