Bumping this for you. I'm not sure myself, but I'd be interested to know too.

This show showed the best selling female artists in Japan (only counting albums sales) and Kumi was top 20 with almost 8.500.000 units sold. For someone who had such a short peak as Kumi, she sold pretty well. Also is worth noticing that, from artists that debuted after 2000 she's number 1, the rest in the top 20 debuted during the 70s, 80s or 90s.

Great achievement! Especially considering how late and short her peak was compared to the others!
Do you have the complete top 20? I’m curious to know


Does anyone heard this mega mix?
This is so awesome!

Kuu's music is part of Instagram music for a while now.
Insta music displays the lyrics of the chosen song. And the Introduction for Trick is part of it, at least the chorus, the main part!

So here are the official lyrics for that part:



Party People Bounce
左から右に
止まるなdance
派手にぶちかませ
はまってる
あたしの呪中に Trick Trick
それが My Trick

So now only the verses are missing from the studio and the full live version.

Xianghua & her friend are currently inside Nippon Gaishi Hall

She sent me these pictures which she said I'm allowed to post them on here

Spoiler:

Xianghua said she's so near the stage :O

Nagoya's replica ticket



And she received this fanclub item a while ago as a birthday gift

[Corvina]

First concert started!
And I'm happy, the stream is already a lot better than in Osaka.



Arena looks really full - but 4,000 people is almost half of Nippon Gaishi Hall, full capacity is 10,000.
Or they went with more as it's allowed again.

[Corvina]

I absolutely love her energy today!

Vocals were strong till she started crying in Moon Crying again.
Well, at least it's genuine crying.

Also starting with Suki de she has problems with one of her ear pieces, WON'T BE LONG now and she still has those problems and took it off now.

The change in the ballad part
18. BRIDGET SONG
19. 好きで、好きで、好きで。

I recorded 好きで:

Alright, Kuu just announced a new album!
Or better several.



Called angeL x monsteR.
Two mini-albums for each theme, being one full together.
Release date December 2nd!

4 versions
Mini-album angeL [MY NAME IS...]
Mini-album monsteR [MY NAME IS...]
Package 2 mini-albums + DVD angeL x monsteR [MY NAME IS...]
FC limited package mini-albums + DVD (Blu-Ray) [MY NAME IS...]

Looks like only her FC gets the Blu-Ray this time!
They played a preview of a new song with it, it's the one she showed to one of the fans in one of the Insta lives she did.

Seriously loved her energy today.
Her dancing in Dreaming Now!, wow.
Her vocals are good again in the last part, real Emotion, Lucky Star, girls, Butterfly, WIND!

EDIT:

Kinot made a better screencap:

[minkAYuko]

God Damn it!!! YES YES YES!!! she looks again amazing!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!

[KarenPang]

Xianghua was literally screaming inside Nippon Gaishi Hall earlier on xD

She said the full body shot image shown on the screen is the fanclub cover for the 2 mini albums package

So happy for Xianghua that she was able to attend today's afternoon concert with her friend

[Corvina]

The theme of angeL is light, the theme of monsteR darkness.

Release date is December 2nd.

I assume it originally was planned to reveal the info in the 2nd Nagoya performance.
Cause in the 1st performance it all started with Kuu drawing the FC fan question, how she's working on/creating new songs, took WHO as example and then went on to new music...asking someone from her staff next to the stage ( I suppose her manager?) if it's alright to do it now.
And then they announced it.

[thinkingoutloud89]

I don't want to address the elephant in the room.
Still excited and the fan-club album makes more sense now.

[Corvina]

There's going to be a limited online store at mu-mo for the tour:
https://shop.mu-mo.net/avx/sv/list1?...edium=referral
For the Nagoya performances it's going to be open from today 11:59 pm ~ October 18.
The Tokyo dates sale period will be announced later.
They plan to sell special items for each venue of the tour there as well.

FC goodies are:

mini-album+ DVD - B3 clear poster
for every single mini-album - jacket size sticker

[KarenPang]

Xianghua :

Fans were allowed to record videos at the beginning before Kuu came on stage

Taken at the end of today's concert 1st session



And the image used of Kuu in today's issued replica ticket(s) , it's not included in the MY NAME IS album booklet

The same thing applies to Osaka & Fukuoka's issued replica ticket(s) too

Images from the MY NAME IS album booklet

Spoiler:

Wished there were more :s

[Ayu_Love]

Watching the evening Nagoya performance, despite performing a performance already her vocals and energy is amazing!

[kaled kalil]

@Darkifrit The link I posted has the top 100

@RainbowFive Thank you for the link!

We finally have our own LOVE again moment haha. With 4 PVs, we have only two spots left, right? Since XXKK and puff already having PVs.

I don't like those white lines in the CD only covers, but the photos are great. The DVD covers are great, somehow the photos reminds me of BOUNCE & LOVERS, maybe because the dark pictures with very bold and saturated colors.

Is it crazy to expect that the final Tokyo dates will have the angeL + monsteR tracks?

[minkAYuko]

Gackto and Ku!!

[thinkingoutloud89]

^Corvina said 4 PVs for new songs tho

[Corvina]

True, the info says

また【L盤】と【R盤】に新曲MV(4本)
が収録されたDVDがセットの「angeL + monsteR [MY NAME IS...]」もリリース。

"MVs for new songs (4 pieces)".
Question is if they count puff and XXKK as new songs.
But I also expect that, cause imo it would be strange to not have the PVs of the songs on their respective album.
