In her past tours did global fan club members could also get picture tickets?

[Corvina]

Kuu knows how to enjoy life - Kuu and her team are having a meeting for re(live) at Elle Café.



Somebody close right now?
Go eavesdropping! xD



A fan went to the Nissan Café and got this, pretty awesome:



And another fan updated his car with the new promo pics:

Yes, in the past all FC tickets were picture tickets (our WOML Tour global FC tickets e.g. were).
This will be the first time ever not all FC tickets will be picture tickets, if that is what the info means.

Thanks! Maybe that “novelty” doesn't mean picture tickets? I don't know. At least I'm so glad to see they are still giving out picture tickets for FC members.
Recently I've just joined global Koda Gumi and I'm delighted there are many materials to watch like FC magazines and Kuu's message video every month. On the other hand I'm really disappointed on TeamAyu that I feel nothing beneficial for joining it except getting a better seat in concerts and to read that seldomly-updated ayu's blog, despite its annual fee is more expensive than Koda Gumi.

There's some additional info on the offcial event page of the tour:
https://rhythmzone.net/koda/live/tour.php?id=1001369

※本ツアーは追加公演の予定は御座いません。
*There are no additional dates planned for this tour.

※10月24日（木）宮城公演が「Black Cherry」の千秋楽になります。
※10月25日（金）宮城公演が「JAPONESQUE」の千秋楽になります。
*10/24 will be the final performance for Black Cherry.
*10/25 will be the final performance for JAPONESQUE.

Which basically says they have other plans afterwards and no matter how popular, there will be no additions.

Wonder if its because they're gonna go straight into December 6 plans...

Anyway, another question about balloting (sorry )

If I read that right, single tickets won't have a picture ticket this time, only the pair?
Which means you will always get a full pair of picture tickets, Black Cherry and JAPONESQUE, when you get the bundle of 2 concerts at once.

Any idea if this means that we can ballot for 4 days instead? Or does the ballot limit stay at 4 shows?
And also, regarding payment, how does it work for Kuu? I remember they immediately put a block on the credit card for Namie's Finally tour when you win. Does it work the same for Kuu?

Guess that was a misunderstanding.
You can ballot for up to 4 tickets per date.
For regular tours the number of dates you can apply for is not restricted.
Only for FC tours it was in the past.
Might be they'll do it for this tour as well, cause dates are limited, but usually they don't.

For Kuu you have a limited time frame you have to pay your tickets in.
For this first FC ticket round it's 06/11 - 06/15.
And then the full amount is charged.

Ah! Thank you so much for the clarifications Corvina. We get to choose which shows we'll pay for yeah? I remember I won the ballot for that FC live where she performed DITR + half of her single discography at that time and I decided not to go in the end. Didn't have to pay a single cent. Just wondering if it still works the same. I guess my question is - do I get to choose which shows I wanna go to/pay for out of the ones that I've won?

I've already said that some posts above... xD
Afaik they changed the system for all FCs - you have to pay all the tickets you won or don't take any of them.
In the past you could choose, but not anymore.
At least for the Japanese FC I know it for sure.
Even in the past - if you didn't take all tickets you've won, you would be blacklisted for the next time you try to get tickets through the FC.
And the FC live you talk about was free anyway, so of course you didn't pay anything, hahaha.

[jiarongisme]

Oh my goodness I'm so sorry I missed that. Thanks for that! It's risky then because I probably should only ballot for one weekend... I'll figure it out.

[KarenPang]

Fanclub ticket balloting for re(LIVE) will begin on 27th May til 3rd June so I'm sure by then more details will be announced on the ticket balloting restriction

But from what I know of other artistes , if you don't honour the ticket balloting , you will get blacklisted which applies to whether you ballot via their fanclub or the general ticket balloting

So you have to be careful and it's not a must for you to ballot for the maximum number of tickets

If you ballot just 1 ticket , you might get it as the odd seat here & there inside the venue has to be filled up

Only depends on if you will be on the 1st , 2nd or 3rd floors of the venue

But it's better than not getting a ticket

[Corvina]

Kuu had a shooting today.

[lovethatkuu&ayu]

Probably not, but it'd be great to see her in a CM again.

[KarenPang]

DAIGO would be pleased as he currently endorses Kagome x)

Would be cool to see both him & Kuu star in a Kagome CM together xD

[chocopockymaster]

Looking at those earrings makes my earlobes hurt

[Corvina]

Kuu is still recording:



Yesterday she was so fixated on recording, that she was about 10 hours in the studio and the song she made is a song she wants to sing with everybody together.

Today she was in the studio, too.





And after recording she went to "that certain place".

[kaled kalil]

I guess the "BEST ~fourth dimension~ + new studio album DIMENSION" is a safe bet, at this point. Or at least a new album like WOML.

[wednesday]

I always thought that she had spacers in her ears, but I think that they are actually those regular earrings made to look like spacers. Looking at her earlobes in all the new pictures.

[Gustavopc]

^ Yup it's a fake spacer, she posted about it some time ago on either koda gumi or insta stories

Kuu posted a pic with Nina Mikagawa on insta and that made me wish they would work together once again

edit: not sure when this happened but DH9 is now up on Spotify. It's just the first disc but still better than nothing.
