I was too. Well middle and high lol. I was lucky my mom was nice enough to take me both times because she knew how much it meant to me. Luckily KKC was on easter weekend so no school that friday lol.


It was interesting seeing how popular she became within a year and how strict the company got with her in that time frame.

I hope she comes back too but who knows. I've been to cons where avex artist where the singing guest and one thing i noticed is the more popular they are the more strict and demanding they are. At ushicon when Kumi wasn't as big in Japan as she was in the US they let people take there time with her like talk and see her in groups, she took photos with the lucky ones who saw her in the halls, they allowed no flash photographs during the concert. She also did I wanna say 3 autograph sessions. She even signed people's names.
But at Kamikazecon when she was really popular if they saw you with a camera they would take it, they seemed to rush you when she was signing autographs, only one person at a time (they had security and curtain so only you could see her), while she was walking around they had security on all sides of her so no one could even go near her (I saw her after autograph session and security kept yelling for people to get out of the way) The Q&A was different with like ushicon anyone could raise their hand and talk but at KKC you had to get in a line and ask into a microphone and even security was at the mic.

For everyone here are the photos and links to galleries with photos of Austin.

trying on wigs




The guy next her is the one who planned on bring her to Ushicon and later kamikazecon. She bought both of them the roses as thanks and wrote them a letter (in english thanks to her translator) thanking them.

I need to still go back and find Kamikaze stuff but these are the photos from austin that I have found again so far. So if anyone is interested please let me know

Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

Welcome! There were more on the blog but I never saved them all there were a lot of her trying on wigs. The blog said the girls who worked there thought she was so funny because she kept doing all kinds of poses. I have her Best First Things tour book and noticed there are so many photos from Austin and Houston in there. That is also around the time the blog just vanished..

New single and Billboard live on DVD!
I couldn't believe it when I saw the news mail from CDJapan this morning, I first thought it's the new album. XD
But so far away, in February...
Anyway, already preordered everything. :3

Waiting for the album to be announced!
And DMP has to show up in a full release somewhere, it is so good even in short.
It's my current favourite now, I totally love it.
And I'm sure Avex won't let slip that chance away.

Except for that it's totally awesome right?

I wonder what the PV of POP DIVA will look like. I hope something like JUICY

[Minttulatte]

ANOTHER BOOK? 0_0 What a release monster she is.

[KarenPang]

with those 3 future releases of Kumi , it gives people a good valid excuse to preorder them early as this month , everyone's a festival mood 8D

it's only when next year comes & then everyone will see a huge big hole in their bank accounts haha D:

[Kaiouforever]

I really hope that the PV is something like show girl + JUICY. <3
