^ maybe it was STRIP?

kaled kalil · #**422** 15th September 2019, 04:03 PM

STRIP was performed during the JAPONESQUE reLIVE, it's another song, it seems like.

Picture of the stage, right after the show: https://www.instagram.com/p/B2bBqQHDDfO/

It seems that it has few steps and a big screen in the center.

EDIT-

JAPONESQUE reLIVE ended and it was the same setlist from yesterday (from baidu), except the end was with WALK OF MY LIFE. I think I was right with the idea that the first show will have WOML as the end and the last of the day will have walk.

Music Fair preview for next week is up on their site:
https://www.fujitv.co.jp/MUSICFAIR/

I'm still a bit mad at her that she made a PV for the cover song and is performing it now on TV when she has new original songs out (and good ones while we're at it).
Though everything looks and sounds good.

More info about reCORD: the album will have a total of 13 tracks https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07XVBN8ZD

Nana Mizuki just announced her 20th anniversary tour for 2020. And it's a mix of halls and arenas and the final is in the dome in Nagoya (18 dates altogether).
I wonder how long Kuu's arena tour will be and if Kuu is doing a special final as well? Or rather does special lives in December?
Nana Mizuki is selling better with the general public, but I guess Kuu's fanbase is bigger.

I think it'll be pretty similar to her 15th, starting the year with an arena tour and having a mini concert series in Decemebr. At leats that's what I'm hoping for (and saving money for lol)

Same with me, that's the reason I already think about it, cause she announced the arena tour already.

I attended WOML Tour 2015 and it was the right decision - WOML is probably my favourite tour I attended (and JAPONESQUE overall weakest, but honestly it's nit-picking, every Kuu live was worth it).
So unless there is a dome performance (never attended one in Japan), I'll probably go with the tour.

And btw. you were right with your thoughts about the tour theme!

She also throws balls this time, she never did that in a hall before:

This fan got one of the golden keys:

Tho people with black keys/passes have a chance as well with the ticket inside them her dancers are looking for.

Groteskou · #**428** 16th September 2019, 08:28 PM

Mostly a lurker, but I attended both shows today and can answer any questions you guys have. I really loved both shows and the new songs are hit and miss for me, but the video/performance of GET NAKED is absolute fire. It blew me away.

She gave her all even more than usual and it was moving to see.
I also know Japanese and she spoke a LOT during the MC, so any questions about that, feel free. She mostly was just grateful she still has fans that support her as much as they do. She also said she goes to see foreign artists overseas (like Gaga) and wants to become like them because she respects them so much.Well, she already is in my opinion, she's the whole package and sad she's not more well known worldwide. But thinking that way inspires her to do even better. Thought that bit was most interesting.

jiarongisme · #**429** 16th September 2019, 08:50 PM

^ I'm really curious on whether she has updated her outfits like she did with the promo pics? And also, how did the stage configurations work? Were they the same for both Black Cherry and JAPONESQUE?

Corvina · #**430** 16th September 2019, 09:12 PM

Kuu is going to shoot a PV the day after tomorrow, so September 18!

There must have been a German fan attending today, cause those are limited edition gummies from Germany!

She says she might be using those in the PV shooting the day after tomorrow.

@Geoteskou
Glad to hear you had such a great time!

I'd love to read a report about the shows in general if you like to do one.^^

-----------------------------------------------

Sophie from WKKW put up her report of the shows as well:

KuuXAyu-fan · #**431** 16th September 2019, 09:58 PM

So looking at the reviews for the shows it looks like STRIP and Get Naked have MVs?

I guess I'll add some notes she didn't add then.

- She does use the updated costumes. You also get to see them both together during one of the interludes (videos?), where two Kumis wearing old and new costumes are basically...singing to eachother? I believe the video with the two Oiran/Japonesque Kumi's and Kumi in the box is the music video for STRIPPED.

- Before GET NAKED the dancers come out from the sides marching when the room is all dark and they're holding up red light sticks horizontally in the air. It's kind of creepy. Then the video plays and Kumi comes out and blows you away with the performance

- DO ME uses a lot of "autotune" voice which I didn't like so she barely sings throughout the entire thing. It also sounded and felt very Kpop. The background screen has weird Grecian statues of people and dogs spinning around.

- Next is K I think? which she said stands for OK but also for...Koda Kumi, of course. It samples this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcaPu9JPenU (0:39)
That part is cute, she bounces on the big rubber balls during it. Her and her dancers roll around with the balls a lot it actually looked kind of dangerous sometimes lol the moves they did were great. She then throws balls into the audience. Background screen is very colorful, like a ball pit.

- Eh yo? was fun, don't remember much. She asks the audience to sing the chorus bits but I couldn't tell if people remembered and did it or if it was just the track.

- Living la vida loca and GOLDFINGER. Not sure why this happened but I guess she digs it. Wasn't a fan. Performance was okay, her standing behind a mic mostly and theres a mini dance break in between to slow trip hop type music and goes back to livin la vida loca? It made no sense.

- OMG has a screen in the back that looks like a computer/phone screen or something. Her dancer Akane sits on colorful fabric hanging from the cieling then turns upside down, Kumi goes on top of her and they go up in the air together. She lies backwards on her? And then Akane comes down and just Kumi goes up and spins around really fast. In the 2nd show I think they did something wrong cause she didnt go as fast and it seemed like they were trying to get her to but couldn't.

-During Twinkle the music video plays in the background

-ESCALATE of course has the chess board video screen.

-She cried a lot during Walk of my Life at my show. Little sobs in between.

- The stage for the pirate ship during Black Cherry was very cool, of course, with canons that shot out smoke rings which was my favorite effect. Glad they went all out even for the hall. There is a loud pop/explosion at one point that was too loud for a small hall I think, it's quite startling and just noisy.

Corvina · #**433** 16th September 2019, 10:52 PM

Thank you so much, Groteskou!
A bit strange with DO ME, cause at a-nation she sang 90% of it live.
Sounds a bit like she uses it to rest her voice a bit in between here.

And I guess you're not following her much, cause Eh Yo and Goldfinger were singles already and she performed them often in the same manner.

So now we have the full setlists finally confirmed!

Black Cherry

Spoiler:

JAPONESQUE

jiarongisme · #**434** 17th September 2019, 07:39 AM

Thanks for the report Grotesku and Corvina for sharing! Interesting how it's WALK OF MY LIFE OR walk. Wonder how that plays out and why she decides to perform those on certain performances.

kaled kalil · #**435** 17th September 2019, 07:58 AM

^ walk is for the last performance of the day, and WALK OF MY LIFE is the last of the first concert, I guess.

Thanks for all the info Groteskou! Can't wait to see the GET NAKED performance, it must be pretty good! As for DO ME, as Corvina said, it's a song with a heavy autotune back track.

Maybe the album has around 5 or 6 PVs, that would be quite a good number.

kaled kalil · #**436** 17th September 2019, 03:47 PM

Next single is OMG and will be out tomorrow! The preview is up on FC.

Corvina · #**437** 17th September 2019, 04:35 PM

Cover of OMG

Description:
GOLDFINGER2019に続き、ラテンのビートを取り入れたEDM「OMG」。
往年の倖田來未的ダンスチューン。
Continuing GOLDFINGER 2019, OMG is a EDM song including latin beats.
A classical Koda Kumi dance tune.

--------------------------------

I think the PV she's going to shoot tomorrow is probably going to be K.
Cause yesterrday when she showed the gummies from Germany she literally wrote "Maybe I'm using them in the PV shooting the day after tomorrow".
I first simply thought it's kind of a fancy way of saying she's going to eat them, but then we got the tour reports saying K has a colorful candies themed performance.
Guess the PV is going to be candies themed as well.

Hm, we also have the song with the Candy Shop lyrics...
So is this album going to be a candy themed one?
With colourful covers?

Gustavopc · #**438** 17th September 2019, 04:48 PM

Thanks a lot for your review, Groteskou! Can't wait to see this tour, seems great!

Just listened to the preview and I looove it, can't wait to hear it in full!

Nah, I knew she performed those songs already but because of my high disinterest in the original song I didn't watch them.
I feel like covering this song and making GOLDFINGER covering it wasn't her idea.

I didn't say much about the Black Cherry/Japonesque original setlists cause I guess there wasn't too much to say besides that they were awesome! As expected.

minkAYuko · #**440** 17th September 2019, 11:43 PM

The song sounds like something that could be play in Mexi radio! and I think it sounds more latin that her previews attempts!... also, does she say "Te quiero" ? or Takedo or someting like that? probably not! hahaha
