[Koda Kumi] Fans are getting SO much FEVER in The 171st Thread

[abestfah]

Why doesn't she attend A-nation2014 at Japan this year, by the way, merchandises at Taiwan so simply....

[Gustavopc]

Probably cause she was touring from March till July in Japan and in August held her Taiwan finale, she probably wanted some time for herself and her family.

The HOTEL t-shirt is so plain, boring and just bad. I wouldn't wear it even if I got if for free. Ayu's long beach t-shirt looks super original compared to it at least her face is on it.

Don't worry, you're not the only one who hasn't watched it. I still haven't watched her performance from last year's a-nation either though I downloaded it. I also have Premium Night and JAPONESQUE TOUR which I still haven't watched. I need to schedule myself a Kuu concert marathon.

[owlflight]

I finally listened to Bon Voyage and I actually liked it. I have been a casual fan/listener for a while as I am still not a big fan of her singing voice (though her low notes are awesome). This album makes me think of being on my boat so I will have to play this the next time I am cruising around the waterways.

Ever since I first learned about Kuu, I have liked her photoshoots/visuals (when they are not so super sexualized) but I have had problems with her voice. I feel that when she sings higher, her voice gets shaky and almost squeaky when she forces a note. Her lower range singing has always impressed me. Part of my issue could be the genre she generally sings in which I feel is more hip-hop/R&B than straight up pop or rock (which she does great on!). Granted this is my opinion as I slowly listen through her entire discography. I will say that no one does attitude and approachable confidence better than her.

[emi♡]

don't really care for the new songs so much, so haven't been fangirling out lol

but I like the image and stuff, and once again, I like her weird mix of sounds. I know she'll eventually figure out a good mix, so. meh.

I think there are times when Kuu tries to force a voice that is cuter than hers really is, something more "J-Pop", when her voice just isn't. Like, Rain compared to Ai no Uta.

Boo~ I want a free tote bag

[mi|kshake]

I need to finish watching Let's Party Vol. 2. That shit happened like, last Halloween

Still need to finish watching that - I'll save it for next month!

[orangeakira]

I love Lets party volume 2. What an amazing concert. She never does Halloween themed stuff. I want a studio version of Lay down. The little additions they added like the guitar riff during the pre-chorus were such nice changes, and I liked the church bell chiming in the background, and the sounds of bats flying, and I believe I can also slightly here an eery wind. I ripped the song and labeled it "Lay Down (Live Halloween Version)" on my computer.

[Gustavopc]

And those who live on the other side of the globe and got into Koda Gumi on the first weekend get nothing? Humpf

I wonder if she's preparing a new single already, it'd a good timing for my wallet to have Bon Voyage Tour and a single coming out in early November

[happiholic★]

^And even if it was released world wide, you'd still have to pay for middle man charges

Whatever, at least I can get FC editions without group buying.

What middleman charges are you referring to?

Kuu's fanclub uses Tenso, a middle man service, to supply international FC members with their physical stuff, like CDs and goods.

[Gustavopc]

Talking on tenso, does anyone knows if sends our packages as if they were a natural person or a legal person? I heard they only ship things through EMS and with this kind of shipping from a legal person you almost always have to pay a importing fee here in Brazil...

Could you possibly share this version of Lay Down? I've been looking everywhere for audio mp3 of the concert and can't find it. I LOVE Lay Down

Hm, I have used them once, but I'm useless because I don't remember if it was EMS (although, I thiiiiiiink it was?) and I don't remember if I had to pay an import tax (I don't thiiiiiink so?). However, I live in Canada, so I'm even less help
