[Koda Kumi] The 204th Thread - 20th Anniversary Tour 2020 MY NAME IS

[Corvina]

Ok, that's strange, cause you can order from overseas through the global FC and also e.g. through HMV online Japan.
I just directly preordered both CD only editions on HMV Japan with my overseas adress without problems.
Here's her site there on the english page:
https://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Kumi...0000000169477/

I've already bought my re(LIVE) special edition there without any problems.
Even shipping to Germany was fast.

But you know, that usually means there's going to be a collabo or a featuring on the albums avex doesn't want to pay the global rights for, just like for re(CORD), rofl.

[KarenPang]

I ordered re(CORD) beginning of 2020 via HMV Japan which I didn't had any issues in doing so

I don't know if the same thing will happen for the 2 mini albums :s

No wonder I was suspicious why CDJapan has not listed the 2 mini albums on their website

I have other artistes' albums that I plan to buy in due time which CDJapan already listed them for preorder but not Kuu

[ILoveGeniuses]

I'm not sure if it is cause of a collaboration. When that happened people couldn't even order the FC edition of re(CORD). However I bought my CD+Bluray edition from CDJAPAN. This is just really odd and I hope for a proper explanation soon.

[chocopockymaster]

Amazon JP won’t send the mini albums to me either and I’m in the states

Fuck these jive turkeys

It's still early days before both mini albums eventually get released in Dec

I do agree it's so odd avex imposed the whole only can buy if you're living in Japan rule in recent years

They never done this before , so why now ?

Knowing Japanese's mentality as my mum deals with them in her line of work , theirs is they will beat around the bush without giving you a proper answer -_-

I sure hope this will not apply in this context

Does mu-mo require you to enter in a membership number to buy FC editions?

So if you have the link to the item, you can purchase it directly?

I'm not entirely sure but you might need to go in through the FC itself. You'd definitely need to enter some membership number I think for the FC edition to even appear for you to be able to order it.

[pommy48]

^ I’m not in the fanclub, but I saw someone shared an Avex website and they said Avex linked to the FC mu-mo, so all the FC products shows up

[Diva_br]

You need a mu-mo account, right? I think you only need to be part of the FC of you want one of these editions

where

[ILoveGeniuses]

There's this new video on YouTube which explains how to shop on mu-mo and the Koda Gumi Global FC for international fans. Found this quite helpful to myself and thought I'd share this to help anyone else that may need a little help.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Didn't the global fanclub also have Re(CORD) up for pre-order and then they took it down and cancelled all the pre-orders from the global fc? I'm afraid that will happen here as well now that CDJapan confirmed they won't ship overseas.

[Diva_br]

I was reading that right now Tenso have some issues with the shipping, so anyone know if I can buy it from the global fc shop and sent it to my friend's house in Japan?

You might need to ask your friend to order it for you then. I think the shipping address and billing address has to be the same. As for the post, I'm in Canada myself and finding the mail from Japan is just being slow. EMS is taking an approximate additional 2 weeks to arrive.

[Diva_br]

^Thank you! I will do it then Although it's still been a while since I ordered something from Japan, so I don't know what the situation is like here with the mail.

I hope that CDJapan and Amazon could sell the album, because many fans don't have access to another stores ; ;

[aVeel]

If avex doesn't want my money and that's why most providers forbid selling the product, then that's the way it is. I will not now switch to providers that are not comfortable for me ... neither avex nor Kuu apparently need to serve all fans.

Other artists will certainly be happy if their CD is sold outside of Japan and in the future I will pay much more attention to how the companies treat ALL fans.

I don't like to force memberships or to use a certain shop ...

[minkAYuko]

^ yes we go the extra mile most of the time trying to support our fave artists, but experimenting out there it's kinda dangerous

[KarenPang]

Kuu & other artistes will be featured in an upcoming Paradox Live CD titled Paradox Live Exhibition Show

The Paradox Live franchise was created by avex last year & it has 4 groups within the franchise

Paradox Live Exhibition Show will be released on 25th Nov

The song that Kuu will be featured on vocals wise is titled EMPEROR -WE ON FIRE!!- & she will sing the song together with Akan Yatsura , a 5 piece member group

This should be interesting and Kuu is the only female artiste featured , aside from AAA's SKY-HI , DA PUMP's ISSA & Mitchell Kazuma

[kaled kalil]

I find Paradox Live kinda weird, it gives me "Vocaloid but with real people singing" vibes, but well, it might be an interesting mix.

[Gustavopc]

I feel like this could have a really interesting outcome. Hopefully it also helps bringing some attention to the mini-albums lol
