[Koda Kumi] The 186th Thread - 60th brand new single on the way

[thinkingoutloud89]

ao I applied for the 12th in Tokyo. Since I had to leave my credit card and they said they'll deposit the money in case of winning, I think I'm not going to enter for the 13th too.

Yeah, looks like they changed the system.
Like that they can avoid people not paying for won tickets and avoid banning people from winning tickets the next lottery.

YEYYYYYYYY

The idea of doing a "best singles" concert before a regular one promoting an album was really good. It's like they were testing the water before jumping into it. Hope this one is a success as well.

I'm still holding well the excitement of getting a new album, since we know so little about it. I hope the song Sirens make the cut, it's a cool name for a song, even a ballad.

My friend subscribes to avex Taiwan e news updates on new releases so she kept me updated on a regular basis

She has already gave me updates on what releases will be out in Taiwan until 6th Jan 2017 with no mention of Best Single Collection DVD :x

Damn! That's amazing. I always forget how huge Koi no Tsubomi was, selling over one million digital copies.

[Corvina]

Koi no Tsubomi was actually certified for 2,250,000 digital downloads.
For comparison: Flavor of Life - ballad version- by Utada, which is at #12 in that recochoku 15 years ranking, was certified for 2,750,000 digital downloads.
For the Top 10 of songs you do need around 3 million and more - which sadly isn't possibly today anymore to achieve.

Btw. here's Kuu top Karaoke songs for 2016 by Joysound:

Top 10 for 2016:
01. Ai no Uta
02. Cutie Honey
03. Moon Crying
04. you
05. Butterfly
06. Suki de
07. Saigo no Ame
08. Koi no Tsubomi
09. Someday
10. real Emotion

They also have an age and gender graphic of people singing her songs (so basically also a graphic representing her fans):


Most of her fans are middle aged - but she does have a significant amount of fans in all age groups.
That's also what I've observed at her concerts.
Btw. she mostly has female fans, but the male fans she has are some very dedicated groups of males from my experience.

Also, Ai no Uta is the #46 most sung song for 2016 in DAM's Karaoke ranking:

Sorry for double posting, don't want to make my last post even longer. xD

Kuu just posted this photo:

Spoiler:

とある撮影！

She's shooting something today.

[a❤martian]

Even though it's a LQ picture, everything about it looks on point and I'm pumped!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

[Isicio]

I hope is a PV related shooting, I'm bored to wait till the new single/album news, I'm glad she is selling tickets for her next year tour, but please say something about new music u.u' I know maybe albums are not the most important thing since she doesn't sell too much but well I hope she will release something soon.

[Corvina]

Kinot from Baidu says, they were using a new kind of camera today (source: the staff report from playroom), so it's pretty sure a PV.

that's great to hear, Kuu is always trying new things when it comes to her PV's...
i mean she started the 360 music video thing even before Björk lol

anyways i totally knew she gets inspiration from Beyoncé's Lemonade which is all i wanted!
serve me your Sorry/6 Inch Heels/Daddy Lessons mama kuu!

she looks amazing, her hair is amazing, love her nails and the sankyo promo is flawless!!
wish we'll get another oriental/banghra style song for her next record!!

[Princess_Of_Roses]

I have a question for anybody shopping the sale. When does yours say it will be delivered? I ordered something not on sale and its already at tenso waiting to be shipped. The other stuff (sale items) say wont be delivered till like 27th and 29th... is this something i missed. Are they delaying shipping because its a sale? Any answers will be appreciated !!

[maze]

That look is cool, different. It's probably for the ch-k ch-k cha song XD

The fact that she's number 2 in the recochoku ranking (just behind Exile) is beyond great!! Congrats Koddess
