I personally think the price you paid for the fanclub version is a bargain considering it's a lot of footages in both DVDs

I guess something didn't work right, so imo it was pretty clear they wouldn't include it.
If all I'm only sad they didn't include more songs from the encore apart from LIT. Lady Go! or WIND e.g.

There are all staple songs except the medleys on the 2 special discs (XXX probably is in the MPC), as well as the ballads she rotated (Promise you, On my way and Yorokobi no Kakera are all there).

I'm just imagining how much work this must have been, recording all the dates and then looking through all of them to pick all the performances out.

Please, don't misunderstand me but I think it's just unnecessary, although I know it must have cost a lot of work for the staff because they have to watch all and editing... I just thought -like Corvina said- that we would have more 'new' performances... or the second screen video of the tour (from Lippy after de Dance part and before HOTEL) something like that.

I suppose I have to wait and watch the difference between the performance included in the DVD and this 'news' performances.

And yes, the photobook is what is encouraging me not to cancel it and order the CD+DVD version, because I'm super in love with the covers

Well, I see this as a way of people getting some of their memories of her concert during the date that they attended. It might be really repetitive, and I don't think her team is expecting you to watch the whole thing, but basically that one memorable performance when you were there and it was special to you, you know?

If it was only to bring "different" things, it would be a DVD full of Sukideshite with the fans interaction, and welll, that would be boring.

I think they could have included other footages in the other 2 DVDs and for them to do something like this , it ain't easy

I can imagine everyone sitting down watching probably over more than 100 hours worth of footages , assuming each concert date last about 2 hours if more maybe even more than that

Actually, can I just get a DVD of 100 hours of Koda Kumi posing for these album covers?

Well, that's what they actually write in the description. It's for those, who went, to relive perfromances and for those, who didn't go, a way to get a glimpse from every date. Kuu also frequently changed styling (like e.g. the long violet hair at one point - I guess that was it about!) and her acting with the fans and the atmosphere are different in every concert.
DVDs 2 and 3 are supposed to be a bonus.

They could have just include all of those performances on a Music Card again, just like they did with all the MCs from Best Single Collection tour, so that you can download just one you like.
Instead we get a performance from every date (in full) for everyone.

The AND multi purpose shoulder bag is a good size bag to bring along inside the Koda Kumi Fanclub Tour ~AND~ concert venue/s

That said it looks quite small & I don't think it's big enough to put a small water bottle inside ? Not sure

If not you always can redeem a cup of beer after the concert finishes , haha

Big AND header with the FC cover from the offcial site:

I was watching the PARTY PV Preview on Koda Gumi and with the good quality I noticed in the security camera takes it says "CAMERA 93" on the corner Nice one
Also, the date says 02/28/2018 which is the album release date I love it when they pay attention to those details

[Baco__]

What does camera 93 means?

[Corvina]

Amazon Japan updated its item description and the tracklist order is different:

01. BRAIN
02. LIT
03. IT’S MY LIFE
04. PARTY
05. GOT ME GOING’
06. SWEETEST TABOO
07. OUTTA MY HEAD
08. WHO
09. ALL RIGHT
10. NEVER ENOUGH

But that's the only source with this one.

93 is a pun with her name.
She's using that since early in her career (2004 or 2005 maybe?).

[Baco__]

Oh, lol now it makes sense xD

Did she forget to turn the Caps Lock off? lol Something new in her career again - first album with all the song names in caps. I have a feeling this might also be the case for the 2nd 2018 album.

I was actually expecting NEVER ENOUGH to be the closing track on the album since the first time I heard it but I was also expecting the album to start with PARTY.

Now I wonder if the poster is going to look the same way as the wall sticker, just bigger. Wall sticker isn't small either. I can't decide where to order Blu-ray edition from, FC or CD Japan.

OK Y'all, let's stay on topic here. Back to those album covers...

[Corvina]

Full PARTY PV will be released as a "GYAO! Special Edition" on Gyao in a few hours, tonight 12 am Japanese .

PARTY (GYAO Special Edition)

https://gyao.yahoo.co.jp/player/0007...0000000003929/

Video only can be viewed for those living in Japan

I managed to rip PARTY (GYAO Special Edition) from GYAO (for the 1st time woo)

https://www.sendspace.com/file/5z5mln

The 2nd part of PARTY PV is very funny & crazy . The snap chatting (or is it Instagram ?) and the security guard trying to stop Kuu from partying are random though o_O

The last part of the PV was cut abruptly , wonder was it on purpose ?

[voltron]

Thanks for sharing the video!

The video itself is cute, and fun. I'm glad to see the song goes somewhere more than the preview showed, but it's still a throw-away song. That said, it's also really grown on me and it is fun - I just think it won't age well, and probably won't be used after this era of releases. I could totally see her opening the FC tour with it though, and I'm sure it would get everyone's energy way up from the start.

[Negi92]

Lemme turn my VPN on so I can pretend I live in Japan for 3:51min lmao

[Corvina]

Thanks, Karen!

Meanwhile avex also uploaded a different short version on youtube:


Probably the album version, extended beginning.

[ilovekodaa]

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee PARTY !!! PV IS REALLY FUNNY <3

[Isicio]

Listening to Driving Hit's 7 I wonder if Driving Hit's 8 will be released this year, maybe after the second album is released.
