Daaaaaaaaaaamn Kuu, everything bout this outfit is on point, I absolutely love it

No kidding! I saw this on FB today. Boy, oh boy she looks so friggin hot!
And I'm glad she removed navel piercing again, I don't find it attractive at all.

[ayu_ready?]

she looks gorgeous with that hair. but did she get rid of her old dancers and why?

[Lee^ChaN]

^ No, she didn't.
Some of her old dancers are still working with her backstage, and sometimes show up on stage. (i.e Jungle, Fuuko, Shintarow)
Some of them are not anymore (maybe pursuing different path) like Sexnosuke.

Because she needs more "on-stage" dancers for her 15th anniversary, she had the audition. Plus it gives chance for newcomers to enter the showbiz and also new ideas/style for Kumi herself. She also had the same audition for her 10th anniversary (Fantasia) last time.

Koda Gumi vol. 27 was added today to the Koda Gumi website

I guess you can't download it, yeah? There are some outtakes from the HOTEL shoot that are simply gorgeous, I guess I'll print screen them

[Diva_br]

^Can you? PLEASEEEEEEEEEE *^*

I hope that in January I can join the club (I'm poor right now *laughts*)

[kaled kalil]

So, won't she announce anything till the end of the year? That is a new thing, there's always something to look forward. I know she's recording the album and stuff, but still. haha

[Corvina]

Well, she started to do things a bit differently this year (just an album and one physical single, no ballad, no proper news till now and so on).
Which is great considering she got pretty predictable.
I'm craving for some news regarding releases, but it's a great anticipation!

[Gustavopc]

I wonder if she'll come back with those singles released right before the album, but I myself couldn't care less for it. They made a big buzz back then but I don't think it's worth at all releasing them nowadays... A summer single is almost certain, but I'm still expecting this 15th to refresh her release pattern a bit

[chocopockymaster]

Yessss going with Lee-chan, MissElin, and some other friends to the tour final in June!!!

I CAN'T WAAAAAAAAAAAIT

[Toniayu123]

^So lucky! Does she usually extend her tours? I wish she'll do a concert in July or August so I can go...

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I think because the album is being released around Mid-March (as far as I think anyway) instead of Feb we won't get any big news until a week or so after New Years

Seeing that this is her 15th anniv tour, all bets are off--no one really knows if she'll add dates or not. I hope you get to see her someday, but I hope she doesn't add any dates because I want to go to the final

[KuuXAyu-fan]

If she doesn't extend the tour perhaps you could see her at A-Nation with Ayu

[Gustavopc]

If she has plans on doing OS dates, it'll be unlikely she extends het tour, but it's not impossible

[Corvina]

I guess she won't add dates. The tour happens in the first half of the year and is shorter than usual. Seeing that, I do have the feeling they' re planning something different for the second half.
But it's just a guess.

@chocopockymaster:
Then I'm one of those friends!
Won tickets for the tour final in Saitama as well! Wohoooo!

[Toniayu123]

seeing the final is on 28th june maybe I can go a week earlier...how did you buy tickets corvina?

Ahh that's so exciting! Can't wait. よろしくね！

[Gustavopc]

Sorry it took me so long, I forgot about it hahahah I finally print-screened the Koda Gumi Magazine pages from the HOTEL shooting, and here are the .png pics

Spoiler:

-edit-
Oops, just after posting I realised photobucket shrinked the pics, the originals are ~1300px wide. Does anyone know where I can upload these without having to shrink them? Or if anyone wants the bigger pics I could try email-ing them or just uploading a .jpg...
