[Koda Kumi] The 154th Thread – Go to the top (10/24) + New Winter Ballad Single (12/05)

[ExodusUK]

First mini-album

[Gustavopc]

^ Mini albums does not exist for Kuu, those are maxi singles

I don't feel the urge of a new album, I'm still into JAPONESQUE and she ''came back'' less than a month ago... I could wait until December 2013 for the 11th album

[milky_way]

I would love a mini album

[isthisLOL?]

Her outfits could not be any tackier. Why are her PV/photoshoot outfits so good and her live outfits always so awful? I don't get it.

[emi♡]

they're always weird

I like the pink...white...corset thing. And the A COMPLETE dress is alright.

I don't care for the center stage. I said after Ayu's concerts with it...but I'm anxious to see what kuu did with it...And I'm hoping it's not the same...as what Ayu did...

but then, how much can you really do with a center stage. And the tracklist with all of it's ballads. Oh well.

I just miss my koda. I don't even care. I just want to see her perform again.

[Twinkle !]

I WILL GO TO JAPONESQUE TOUR . I WILL . I WILL .

I liked most of the outfits, tho I feel like I saw this silver dress before. And encore outfit is "erm what..." as usual.

Could you possibly upload it somewhere? Not sure if I want to download whole show in HD just for the talk part. I will watch it like once & that's it.

+1

That dress is totally ayu's, I think it's the one she wore for Days at NLTour

[do it again]

happy birthday kumi!! she betta work at the JAPONESQUE tour and give those songs the love they deserve <3 need a repeat of best ~ss~ tour with her dressed in her diva kimono being carried down by her minions...

[setsuka]

I love the outfits actually XD

especially the mermaid dress and her showgirl outfit

I really liked Ayu's use of the center stage and with dancing for some parts it should be interesting

[jyujiw]

I saw ayu in this silver dress... xD

Not really a good choice in her outfits this time.

But oh well, JAPONESQUE Tour will retain my love for her for all the next year

[4minute Girl]

She looks terrific! She really has that mother's glow and she looks happier than I've ever seen her before. It must feel great for her to be back on stage! I'm glad to see she hasn't lost all of the baby weight yet, it's dangerous to drop it too quickly. But she was too slim and overworked back then so it's refreshing to see her in a healthier state.

[emi♡]

pff I thought she was lookin damn good before she was pregnant.

Her tummy an legs were amazing.


Is that really Ayu's dress?

On November 13th, singer Koda Kumi celebrated her 30th birthday with a concert, ‘KODA KUMI premium Night ~Love & Songs~‘, at Nippon Budokan.

This marked Koda’s first Nippon Budokan live as well as her first birthday live since debuting in 2000. The fans celebrated her birthday by singing “Birthday Eve” and calling out, “Kuu-chan, happy birthday!” Koda responded in tears, “It’s the first time holding a live on my birthday… this is the best.”

During the live, Koda was presented with an 1.5 meter (4.9 ft) tall birthday cake with a diameter of 1 meter (3.3 ft). After blowing out the candles, she took a commemorative photo with her fans. “Being Koda Kumi for over 10 years, getting married, and having a baby. Is it okay to be so happy? I don’t think there are any artists who is loved this much. I’m a very fortunate person.”

Koda performed a total of 32 songs which included 30 songs chosen from 500,000 fans and a special medley. She also charmed the fans with 8 different outfits throughout the performance. Finally, Koda announced that she would be holding an arena tour (11 shows, 8 locations) starting in March of next year.

that silver dress also reminds me of the one she used for Yume no Uta @ Kouhaku 2006

I actually love these outfits, even the encore one (those legs ) I think the only tour of hers that I totally disliked the outfits choice was TRICK 2009 (with the exception of the show girl medley one - flawless) plus the hair = big no.

I'm all in for a mini-album, would be so cool and good for a change. one more a-side for a total of 8 songs (5 new songs) with PV for all the tracks. 8D

Oh, yeah I was thinking about Ayu's dress and this one too. Man that was one perfect performance. And that one jaw-dropping dress.

[Minttulatte]

Am I the only one who can't see slightest pit of Ayu in that silver dress? I actually remember a similar pinky dress from Black Cherry and Kingdom Tours. I really love the outfits, they're awesome as usual♥

And yey for JAPONESQUE TOUR. I bet it's gonna be the most epic thing of 2013 for sure haha♥ I can already imagine all that epicness overload that only Kuu can deliver to me. I'm always the most excited about her concerts. *___*

I personally want to wait a little bit longer for the next album. I'm still in the JAPONESQUE Mode this year and also because if they wait for a while longer, they would make a even more amazing album. And I definitely don't like the idea of a mini album in Kuu's discography for some reason. Somehow it just doesn't really sound very Kuuish thing to do so I prefer full albums with lots of songs. Of course, if she released a mini album I would still love it because I'm a stan. 8D

[do it again]

she should release a mini-album / multiple A-side single in the spring / summer, so she can feature them at the JAPONESQUE tour!! and then drop a full-length album in the fall / winter, with another tour in the spring / summer!!! and then 3-5 singles in between... that would be perf!

This outfit is pretty, but it has too much white
