I know it's a project armed with love, but in the place of the band, do you not feel sad if, instead of going just to see you, is by another artist? I think it would be disappointing... and think about her too, she could feel a little bad for it because is the concert of another artists...

I don't know, is just my point of view...

I perfectly understand this point of view, but i really want to do something.
the idea is to give him this but only if there is a right moment...
i already said that i'm going to her live tour next spring and i could give it at this moment...
but because her husband come at the japan expo, we thought abitt her at this moment so its cool to make the project now!!

I'm sure LiDaYu knows, what she's doing, and won't be rude. If she's giving it her now through Kenji or later through her staff.
Besides, don't you think, Kenji will be happy for Kuu?

[Chibi-Chan]

If someone was giving me at MY concert a present for my husband I would be VERY pissed off. Not to mention that I would be VEEEEEEEEEERY pissed off if the present would be for another of my band members husband. I'm sure that LiDaYu won't be rude and that she just wants to give Kuu a lovely present. But her nice intention doesn't matter if her action itself is simply rude.
If you mean it or not, it makes the impression that you don't give a fuck for BACK-ON as musicians and that you're only there because you love some pop diva.
Maybe neither Kenji nor some other band member would be bothered by it. Maybe they would even think it's cute. But you can't know what they would think. It could be very likey the other way around.
So if you even have the chance to give the present to Kuu some time later, just give it to her later.
I for one would not want that the present I made with a lot of love would come off as rude. And in a worst case scenario Kenji would not hand it over to Kuu or Kuu would agree with him and don't like it for that reason.

[Corvina]

I don't see a problem. She's giving it to Kenji , not Back-On, or even Kuu or one of her staffif she's there backstage as well. And if I understood her right, she also has a present for him. I really don't see a problem.

[thinkingoutloud89]

I also agree..its kinda rude...or hurting in a way.
They, Kenji too, came for their fans and are happy to see them and veen if 100 fans came for that reason, that one that will be like "can yoz give this to kuu" will be likea worm in an apple.

[Chibi-Chan]

Furthermore like Diva_br mentioned LiDaYu isn't the first one with that idea. I'm sure already a lot of people thought of that. At first it may seem cute, but after a while I'm sure it gets damn fucking annoying when people constantly ask you at your concert to give a present to your partner.

I do think that Kuu is now considered an "associated act" with Back-On, and I do think that they are all really supportive of one another. The point I was trying to make was include Back-On, too. I would present their gift first and then add on like, "oh and here is something for Kuu, too". I think the band members would all be okay with that.

Lol I can't help but imagine giving BACK-ON something rather small, and "oh, by the way, before I forget, I have something for ku too." *hands elaborate hand-made multi-fan-participated book of fan letters and bouquet of roses.*

[Corvina]

I guess there are a bunch of people getting to know Back-On and getting fans of them because of Kuu. If you look at Kenjis Instagram account, there always are comments related to Kuu or from her fans, also supporting Back-On. And judging from Kenjis comments, he doesn't seem to mind.
And btw. he's openly supporting his wife on his account here and there.

Also, Japanese artists tend to make a difference between japanese and western fans (just look at Ayu e.g.).
Back-On and Co. probably know, it's hard for western fans to get hands on a japanese artist.

I respect that some people are against it.
But as long as it is done with respect, I don't think it's bad.
Maybe there is a way at the Expo to do it without bothering too much.

[Diva_br]

And Kuu made an entry at her blog with the title "Mexico" and she posted a pic with the items that Kenji bought for their child from here, not with the gifts for her O_O I understand that is a opportunity for get more closer with Kuu, but just sayin'

Just be prepared for everything.

I think this is the perfect solution to any possible issues.

That said, Koda and Kenji are both adults, and I assume they have bigger things to worry about than getting gifts for each other at their concerts. It'd really be a silly thing to get upset about. They each have their own dedicated fans and given how long both have been celebrities, I'm sure they're accustomed to the quirks of being famous and of being married to another celebrity.

[Gustavopc]

Not really getting into this discussion, but BACK-ON also came to my country, in an Anime Festival thing, and a friend of mine is a fan of them and also Kuu. He made two fans to take to the concert, one written Kenji and another one with Kuu's name. He said when Kenji saw him, he pointed at him, had a laugh and made a thumbs up showing his ring. A gift is different, but still I would expect him to react happily.

Lmao, I actually had the same image in my head, too

[Gustavopc]

On another topic, I was looking at the tour setlist and I hope she effing releases BRING IT ON this year, she has performed it more times than HOTEL and MONEY IN MY BAG, which were singles from this album and are the only tracks from the album that were not included (interlude aside) Also, a shame there's no TURN AROUND on the setlist, the song is so good It's like Kuu is trying to erase the existence of the single

[Diva_br]

^I'm not surprised for that xD HOTEL was single with horrible numbers on the charts D:

Guys, do you think we'll have notices about a new work soon? I want a new single, at least :/

[Gustavopc]

^ Were sales bad for digital charts as well as Oricon? Cause physicaly it did almost as Summer Trip did

I would like to have a Summer single by July, but with the Asia Tour it could be released in August only... ):

[Minttulatte]

I hope there will be a summer single, because Kuu's summer songs are always my summer jams. I will probably be very sad if there is no single from my Queen. I need that in my life.

And DH7 would be awesome, too.

[Luck16]

If she (or ave$$$$$) decides not to release any more summer singles I'll be very sad too.
An era of my life (and hers lol) will end =(
