Kuu posted in one of her stories today, that she might have catched a cold.
We'll see if that affected her voice.

She also was in an Insta live with Exile Atsushi on his account.

The songs performed:

01 Ai no Uta
02 POP DIVA

Weirdly POP DIVA was the full song. The vocals were good in general, but high notes could be better. It's hard to judge since her mic is very loud.

Here it is a fancam of the performance:

I loved it, kuu has a great stage presence, she sounded great. She didn’t even sound sick at all.

Didn't get to watch it but saw some pics on Instagram and I'm living for how much she's been wearing Versace this season lol

[abestfah]

If I have my friend in Japan now, can she buy the tour ticket at lawson machine yet?

[Gustavopc]

After three weeks full of stuff out of nowhere she's gone quiet again for a while now lol I hope we get info about the album and related projects soon so I can know what to expect

[jiarongisme]

Now she's created this unrealistic expectation where I would want 6 more singles to be released back to back.

Although I have this feeling it might be a 'countdown' of sorts where they'll release the remaining 6 week by week to the first re(LIVE) show.
^ Just checked, if this theory stands, we could possibly get music as early as next week!

Is itunes missing BOUNCE&LOVERS?

[jiarongisme]

^ Not sure about iTunes Germany but it's available in the Singapore store.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^It's definitely missing in the German one. I already exchanged all of Namie and half of Kumi so far and both are missing songs here and there. What is the point of putting up Checkmate! or OUT WORKS when half of the songs are missing? And what is the deal with 1000 no Kotoba missing completely? urgh, annyoing.

[pedronekoi]

It's not available on Apple Music Brazil as well.

[Gustavopc]

1000 no kotoba is not on Spotify either

On another note, the FC video for August is up and I think that's the first time it's not only Kuu herself talking, but also her dancers! They interacted a lot, and video is even longer than usual. Hope it becomes the new way she makes those videos, I really enjoyed watching it.
She talked about a-nation and the tour but I want to highlight what she said about re(CORD), she said she's still recording songs and she will keep on doing so until the production deadline and then she'll decide which songs go to the album or not (maybe a couple of them are already decided, but there could be room for more). In the subtitles she even talks about "dope songs" I'm living for it lol She said there are so many songs some will get shelved (please Kuu consider releasing an album called re(PACKAGE) later if so lol).
No words about "re(CODE)", covers or even Vivin La Vida Loca.

[Corvina]

You just beat me posting about it!^^

It's not the first FC video with her dancers, we already had one here or there in the past.
If you think about it, she already had songs that didn't make albums in the past and then were used later (like Sweetest Taboo from WOML later for AND or on singles Good☆day).
I actually think that's just the way she works - recording all the songs she feels recording for on album cycle and then choose at the end.

She also confirmed in this video, that she wants to remake both arena tours Black Cherry and JAPONESQUE for halls in a way you can only experience it in a hall.

And update from the last days: She's still rehearsing every day and after coming back from Vietnam she got really sick and couldn't attend rehearsals for one full day.

And Hashire! too :\

About the songs missing on iTunes and other digital platforms - pretty sure that's a license issue.
For 1000 no Kotoba e.g. the English version was used internationally, so that's probably the reason the Japanese version was never licensed outside of Japan.
And for other songs the licenses might lie with the respective record companies and/or song writers and that's why they're not up, especially with collaboration songs.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^hu? why does it not apply for real emotion? The game has both songs from Sweetbox. 1000 no kotoba is missing in all versions (even remixes). Hashire is there tho, at least on itunes. It's on 3 SPLASH.
And I know why there are missing, it's stupid tho and now I have this weird mix of streaming songs and my own in a single album like I said before and everyone was like "oh no, every song is there". Oh well, too late and there is much more space on my hard-drive now.

My guess is that's because 1000 no Kotoba was composed by official FF writers and the song belongs to Square Enix, while real Emotion doesn't.

And I'm sorry for you - it's why I try to keep out of such discussions.
(I personally rarely use playlists, don't care about playcounts at all, have my music on my harddrive and for Kuu also own all of her CDs)

[thinkingoutloud89]

^yeah no bigggie, I figured it is probably a step in the right direction to slowly transit instead of living in this limbo of both. I have most of my music stored on another harddrive and there are only a fe songs missing.

Did not know that about 1000 no Kotoba. But it explains everything, although SE just recently uploaded all FF soundtracks on spotify.

Stills from this coming Sun's Fuji TV's Bokura no Jidai that features Kuu , hitomi & Do As Infinity's Tomiko as guests





https://natalie.mu/music/news/342155

This Sun's Bokura no Jidai episode will see all 3 ladies discuss about the early struggles they faced when they 1st debuted in the business , alongside with them talking about marriage & having kids

Coincidentally or not , all 3 ladies are under avex and seems like they don't really communicate that much outside of work so this Sun's episode will change all that
