Now that Ayu also had a video I noticed that Kumi´s Digest video has a unknown logo at the end too.

I’m so proud of kumi. Doing a successful arena tour during a global pandemic will surely go down on her history as an artist.

mi|kshake · #45 1st March 2021, 12:03 AM

Really enjoyed the digest! Forgot how many great songs she performed!

visionfactory · #46 1st March 2021, 06:29 AM

^^^Is the logo of Japan's government music globalization programme

I get jealous of her skin. She looks good with that light skin with different colour hair.

If I dye my hair, I would look like a gangbang member doing something illegal.

Corvina · #48 1st March 2021, 08:15 PM

Watching the monthly Kumiko episode and she's showing the FC edition of the tour.
Looks absolutely amazing!
There's also a poster included they didn't announce for it.
Tho ofc folded or it wouldn't fit in.
The making of is about 85 (!) minutes long if I understood it right, she just mentions it shortly.
Kuu says, the cover is from the ballad section as this was the favourite styling for her FC fans.

Gonna post an update of her streams in the next few days.
Line Music still doesn't show stream numbers, but they do have a ranking on every artist's page from most popular to least popular, tho like AWA they count songs released on multiple releases separately.
Here's Kuu's:
https://music.line.me/webapp/artist/...f143d18/tracks

The most streamed are ofc め組のひと, 愛のうた and 好きで.
Most interesting is 最後の雨 being under the top 30.
Newer songs in the top 100 are 君想い (31), WOML (46), LIT (61), puff (63), Eh Yo (64), GOLDFINGER 2019 (66), HUSH (72), STRIP (82), Ultraviolet (83), BRIDGET SONG (85), again (88), 心からi love u (95), PARTY (97) and GWIB (100).

Is Kuu going to have a goods sale on Mumo as well? I swear I’ve read it somewhere but can’t remember...

There are a lot of songs having streams between 100k-300k, so people are probably listening to a lof of different songs of her.
Some of the discrepancies are also very interesting, e.g. WOML is pretty high in streams on all music streaming sites, but on youtube the PV is low (60k).

Nice to know is that LINE Music is generally more used by the younger generation as it's the app used for incorporating music in TIK TOK in Japan (besides they have a special offer for pupils and it's for Japan only).

The 17Live audition is over now and the final with the best and Kuu is happening soon (date in March to be announced yet).
I hope someone will be able to record and share.
And Kuu's Kansai Collection performance is this coming Sunday!

KuuXAyu-fan · #52 4th March 2021, 02:01 AM

How many Spotify streams does Kuu have in total?

Corvina · #53 4th March 2021, 08:32 AM

Idk cause I don't know any tool that can do that.
The ones I know either don't include total streams or you have to pay.
Guess we have to ask Evan Odinson which one he uses, if you wanna know..

KLJames · #54 4th March 2021, 12:16 PM

off topic, did anyone know whats the video play in backdrop when kuu perform 'come back' @ FANTASIA? for many years i thought it was the pv for it, but now i realized im wrong because they didn't upload any video for it for the past year for her youtube channel.

Gustavopc · #55 4th March 2021, 03:25 PM

It's really cool to see those streaming numbers, thanks a lot for the update, Corvina! Ai no uta and you being on both Top 3 for Spotify and YT don't surprise me at all, but I can't keep wondering how an actual PV for GWIB would be rn if she had released one back when the song came out. Always seems to me it could have been a nice performing single if she released it as such. Also, love how Ienai Yo is so well on Spotify, I love that cover so much!

mi|kshake · #56 4th March 2021, 06:44 PM

That is quite a solid Top 20 on Youtube!

Corvina · #57 7th March 2021, 09:06 AM

You're welcome, Gustavo!
I also think it's interesting to see what songs are doing well on different sites.
SHUTOUT e.g. is on par with Rich& Famous on Spotify, but on Line Music R&F is much higher.
Which probably means it's the international fans pushing SHUTOUT on Spotify.

Similar to GWIB.

Kansai Collection is currently happening and there are official live streams for it.
This Japanese Twitter user summed the links up:
https://mobile.twitter.com/reiko_sak...10905050222593

The 4 live acts are performing around
14:45 (2:45 pm JST)
16:00 ( 4 pm JST)
18:15 (6:15 pm JST)
19:30 ( 7:30 pm JST)

Kuu is the first one, the top batter.
Currently performing Megumi no Hito.
WIND now.
And OMG as last song!

(Also doing nice on Line Music scratching the top 100

)
I just woke up, so I didn't catcht the beginning of her set.

Full set:
01. XXKK
02. DO ME
03. Megumi no Hito
04. WIND
05. OMG

All performed in full!

Pics thanks to piro-kun on Twitter.

Btw. WIND is part of a new Sakura compilation album avex is releasing this March.

RainbowFive · #58 7th March 2021, 09:39 AM

She looks gorgeous!

Corvina · #59 7th March 2021, 10:37 AM

She also sounded great, strong and powerful.
You can find clips on Twitter and Insta, don't know if we get a rip.
Reactions are very positive according to fans on Twitter attending.

Kansai Collection is taking place @ Kyocera Dome in Osaka.
All tickets are sold out, tho they still have hygiene restrictions they're following.

Toniayu123 · #60 7th March 2021, 12:07 PM

She looks and sounds awesome. I didn’t know concerts have resumed in Japan (kinda) it feels so refreshing seeing so many people again.
