[Koda Kumi] Reliving her past in her 198th Thread

[Ayu_Love]

Yeah, I have to agree unfortunately. My comment was more of a pipe dream, lol.

They're probably going to choose some weird obscure acts no one has heard of or western people will just think is odd. But here's hoping.

ew, I don't like any of them. So boring.

[KarenPang]

What's boring to you might be not boring to others & vice versa

Akimoto Yasushi sits in the Olympics committee as well so you can be sure AKB48 will also be involved in next year's Olympics to some extent

I don't listen to AKB48 & also its numerous sister groups . Don't I want them not to perform in next year's Olympics ?

Yeah but it's what it's

[thinkingoutloud89]

^AKB is fun tho..these boybands on the other hand...

[KarenPang]

Like I said it depends on personal preference . I've been in the Johnnys fandom for more than a decade and I like that each group I support has relative stable structure

Whenever a member leaves a Johnny group due to wide variety of different reasons , J&A don't capitalise that for financial gain and make it a graduation ceremony which led to it being sold on video , unlike what goes on for AKB48 + their numerous sister groups

Likewise even the number of releases each Johnny group put out , at least they have limits . I'm sure ARASHI could have put out 5 if not 20 different versions of their upcoming 5x20 All the BEST!! 1999-2019 but they capped it at 3

And for the record , my sister used to like AKB48 earlier works but once the most prominent members started to leave 1 by 1 , she stopped supporting them as she found it hard to keep up on who's who still left in the group

Anyway I should leave it as it's cos this should not be in Kuu's thread , it should be in elsewhere

Also you support AKB48 , I don't but I'm not going to sway you to listen to Johnnys by hook or by crook cos Johnnys group are not your music preference & vice versa

And who knows perhaps next year's Opening & Closing Olympics will feature both Johnnys groups , AKB48 & LDH groups

I like Kuu's OOTD , casual laidback but still polished

[thinkingoutloud89]

^haha I knew you would respond to this as you biased. I'm not an AKB fan but a big chunk of their music at least is somewhat good. I tried to find a good song by SMAP, ARASHI or any other Johnny group so many times over the years but they are just straight forward bad, cringy or badly produced. Even when I watch the Top 100 charts for the year in JPOP I ask myself how this can happen.

Anyways, I prefer neither of them to perform and them choosing something that shows a different side of J-Pop. J-Pop lacks the quality and interest K-Pop can create for quite a time now.

[KarenPang]

Not sure what songs you came across Johnnys wise . Not all the singles they released are terrible but their entire discographies ain't perfect

NEWS & Kis My Ft2 have been releasing albums on an annual basis but in return the quality of their music suffered but Kis My Ft2's latest album they released this year is quite good to me as I did not like their last 2 albums

Also V6's last studio album was unexpectedly great & that goes for KinKi Kids material too but there was a period of time where their music was boring ,same thing with Arashi

Johnnys fandoms are not forgiving online as some will say everything they release are all great but I'm not like that

Anyway there's still time before next year's Olympics began . Perhaps the organising committee will announce some surprises eventually

[thinkingoutloud89]

^from some of them I have the whole discographie. It's just terrible. I would always say these boybands are the worst thing J-Pop has created. But it's another topic.

I'm still waiting impatiently for the announcement of the tickets.

[KarenPang]

Fair enough , let's agree to disagree alright ?

If not this will be never ending and it will go on forever especially since I don't agree on what you said in that the entire discography for all Johnny groups is terrible which to me , it's not true

I don't know for LDH groups so I will not say

Fanclub ticket balloting results for re(LIVE) will be out this coming Tue afternoon ; 3pm Japan time

[chocopockymaster]

aaaaaah we’ll have the ticket results 24 hours from now...crossing all my fingers and toes!

COME THRU, FUKUOKA

[jiarongisme]

Ahhh I really hope I win something too. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

[thinkingoutloud89]

urgh can't wait!

[Corvina]

Japanese fans have their results for an hour now.
There are fans on Instagram and Twitter searching for tickets already, lol.
The playroom lottery round starts tomorrow.

Lee^chan and I, we actually have a theory for years now.
Accounts taking part in the lottery for the first time always win tickets - let's see if it is like that this time as well!

[jiarongisme]

Wow strange. My Livepocket profile page still says "Lottery Waiting".
Corvina if your theory is right then there's a high chance I'll win it then!

[thinkingoutloud89]

^because you are probably a playroom member?

[jiarongisme]

Nope, the only international fanclub is Koda Gumi. Maybe the international lottery is at another timing. Have you gotten any updates?

[thinkingoutloud89]

no, me neither.

[Corvina]

International results are always a bit later.
3 pm was it for Japan, so maybe 3 pm in your time slot?
