[Koda Kumi] The 190th Thread - W FACE Tour 2017

[kaled kalil]

Thanks for the review, Corvina! It seems that the concert is more interesting than BSC Tour, which wasn't that innovative. Can't wait to hear Stand by you, it's my favorite ballad of W FACE. Also, the white two-piece is way better than that blue one with a weird sleeve.

I'm curious about the song, the description isn't that interesting, thinking about the title and what they are saying about the song only comes Say Her Name in my mind, but it's not really a dance song.

I don't mind the cover, I don't know why. It's okay for me. haha

^They mention autumn, dance and only DAnce in the rain comes to my mind but then there is that lip on the cover and I dont know what to expect anymore. I just hope it is better than Lit

Thanks for the concert review corvina, sounds fun!

[Corvina]

Dance In The Rain was marketed as a 'dance ballad' though.

And you're welcome, guys!

I've uploaded the full Kuu part of KICK THE CAN CREW Fes on mediafire. Enjoy!

Edit:
Just saw on her official site, that the concert I went to was sold out after all. Guess they sold the last tickets that evening at the entrance.^^

I'd gladly take another song like Bassline, I looooove it! Surprisingly I still can't get enough of LIT. While I love LIT this era definitely has her worst single covers, I wonder if the 3rd single will have a cell phone next to her face or a tear.

I love KICK THE CAN CREW live & setlist but damn that crowd was dead indeed, at least it looks like Kumi herself had fun performing there and I'm so happy we got full live in HD. This is awesome.

And thanks for the review Corvina, I can't wait for the Blu-ray.

I'm happy to see that 10 out of 17 songs came out this year! And damn, Yume no Uta needs to be performed live again but I'm glad that it was at least featured in one of those special throwback MV clips from BEST SINGLE COLLECTION Tour.

Same and yea, she better have a new album ready in early 2018. I don't think this project is special, I think they are releasing singles this way to generate more interest from the fans. I don't think her fans have much interest in buying regular singles anymore. I hope after these 3 they will prepare something interesting for next year again. I also want new Driving Hit's 8 in 2018.

When will W FACE LIVE TOUR be broadcasted? September or October?

[Gustavopc]

I'm afraid we'll have a singles best, the last real single compilation is from 2010

[thinkingoutloud89]

^honestly, i wouldn't mind. It could turn out great with loads of bonuses, revamped or remastered versions or whatever. We never know.

[Gustavopc]

If that were Namie, I'd think so too, but Kuu doesn't have the habit of revisiting her songs on compilations. Usually just two or three of new tracks with their videos (which is not bad at the end of the day)

October 6th.

And I disagree - her fans would probably buy regular singles as well. But with the concept of a limited singles release, avex makes higher profits with the same sales as the costs are smaller.
In the end it's her team though, who has all the infos about sales, tour popularity and so on. And Kuu is very invested in all of it as well (when thinking about the interviews from this era, maybe even a bit too much?). I'm sure they know, what they're doing.

[Gustavopc]

Yup, they must have much lowers costs and sales inside Japan probably haven't been affected that much, in the last years her singles were all selling the same so it's safe to assume it was the same fanbase.

On a similar note, they haven't announced yet what we'll get by buying the three singles, have they? I was thinking of waiting for December to get HUSH and the last one but I'm not sure if that would allow me to get the bonus.

You'll get an original designed totebag.
There are 2 different designs for playroom and Koda Gumi.
