[Koda Kumi] The 196th Thread - My music is designed from my DNA

[Gustavopc]

I was thinking the same about her showing no new music recording on her social media and stuff, and I guess she might be preparing for her 20th so we might not get a lot of new music next year. I can see a fourth BEST or all-time best happening in 2020, so maybe we will see another BEST+album combo? I'd looove to see a self-cover album from her as well, it'd be so amazing if she paired it with a normal cover album! Or even with the BEST, or a new album Just do it, Kuu!

If all we get next year is a mu-mo single and a cover album I guess I'd be happy But if there's not much that's okay as well, putting out four albums in two years is a lot, so if she needs a break I get it.

[Corvina]

Haven't watched the show yesterday, but seeing comments on her posts.
Apparently she talked about how she'd like to cover "迷惑でしようが" by Tunnels from 1987.



The talk part is part of the song.

She also recommended Shekeel Plus, some shaping pants, and fans are thanking her for it.
Queen of random talk, lol.

That's a very interesting point.

I wouldn't mind an all time best for her 20th like someone mentioned.

Kuu will be singing Yuki no Christmas together with miwa & LiSA on next Wed's live broadcast of 2018 FNS Kayousai

Yuki no Christmas was originally sung by DREAMS COME TRUE

Because the DNA Café & Shop was so popular, they decided to do it again, this time in Nagoya and in collaboration with CoLaBoNo.
Between December 1 - December 25.
Located at Nagoya's shopping mall Sunshine Sakae.
(argh and I'm not there anymore... *sob*)

Menue is the same as in Tokyo with some additions such as a morning menue for breakfast, a second burger and a black pancake.

And playroom/Koda Gumk revealed that Kuu is performing Megumi no Hito together with Masayuki Suzuki at FNS Kayousai.
She's also going to join LiSA and miwa to sing Yuki no Christmas by Dreams Come True for the big Christmas & Winter medley.

[Gustavopc]

Excited to see her performing those on FNS, can't wait!!

[Xianghua]

wow i'm interested in seeing her sing with miwa!

[Corvina]

Today and tomorrow FC fans can send messages to Kuu for the 19th Anni event next week.
Sadly it's not up on her global FC.
I did write a message though.

But they've finally updated Kuu's blogs on the global FC!
They skipped right through the months till October for her personal blog and August for the "favourite room" blog though. And the staff blog wasn't updated.
But at least something is happening.

Guess Who Is Back is her new hit, but she's still paying dust to the song. It's more for the international audience, because of the anime, but still. And there is your answer why she's still singing Ai no Uta.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I want her to perform “you” again... such a great example of Jpop in its prime.

Go to Miyagi

I wish I can wear Tartan prints so effortlessly like Kuu cos it's not an easy print to carry off well

[Corvina]

I want her to sing Suki de, Suki de, Suki de and Anata dake ga more.
Both songs are great, both songs were hits, but she rarely does them. Or Ai wo tomenaide as well.

Agree! I love all three of those songs, Anata dake ga is my favorite ballad of hers. Either way I'm looking forward to her FNS performance.

And after releasing the last double albums, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a short break in new material. I feel like she's been releasing so much recently (not that I mind).

Yes, this is THE Kuu ballad for me! It's on my Winter Playlist.

So cool to see she's performing on FNS too! Great to see Colour the Cover is on Spotify - I love Shake hip too!

[Corvina]

This is too cute again.



A fan of Kuu can't go to this tour because of basketball training and games, so he/she decided to write a letter to Kuu and share some pics (of their dog) with her. His/her mother went to the tour and brought it Kuu today. Kuu is wishing the fan all the best for the games.

Before Kuu already shared another wish of a fan in her stories. That fan wrote in the tour questionnaire, that he/she wants some news about her dancer Ooba.
So Kuu went to him before the show and asked him to say some words to fulfill the wish.

[kaled kalil]
