Omg I love turkey but ham is vile. Well, actually I like turkey lunch meat, real turkey isn’t all that great.

The PV looks like it has zero Christmas spirit. No aura of winter to be seen anywhere. Guess it will be just a bland ballad in the vein of Kana’s most recent. Ugh.

Well, in one of the tweets the PV is described as having a 大人っぽい雰囲気 - a mature atmosphere.

Blogpost from yesterday and today.
Last day is tomorrow. As the USJ live will be tomorrow, the last blogpost will be about it as well.

USJ rehearsals!
2017.11.24

Today we have rehearsals for USJ on the 26th!

First, vocal training.
Well, it got remarkably cold. (T ^ T)
(Note: It's around 10°C in Tokyo right now and last year they had snow for the first time in about 50 years)



Then moving to the studio!

I'm able to offer the USJ Live for the 4th consecutive year!
As always I've also been weaving in dear old songs, too.

This year there will be this not-heard-for-a-long-time song, and also that song. *laugh*
As it corresponds with the last day of this Ameblo blog, I gonna post about it then. ❤️
It's enough dancing. *laugh*



When rehearsing was over, it was time for the usual 'Danshari' (Note: It's a form of giving away things somebody doesn't need anymore - term by Yamashita Hideko).
The dancers give away clothes, they don't want anymore, about 3 times a year. *laugh*
There are so many colourful things, things you can say are cute and pleasing ones.

Well, see you!

Quote:
Tonight from 12 am onwards
2017.11.25

Continuing from last week (Note: BSC Tour got aired last week), tonight from 12 - 2:30 am, "KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2010 ~ UNIVERSE ~" held in 2010 will be broadcasted within the "AbemaTV SPECIAL 2". ��

The theme for this live was UNIVERSE! Space!
It was made as a travel with 'KODA AIRLINE' to escort customers.
Seven years ago...I was 27 at that time.
It told a story! *laugh*
It's always so much fun to direct a live. *laugh*
Going to a comet, having a production using water, falling in a dark hole and having a night or daytime CA as much as you want...
I think it's as interesting and fun, cause it's such an impossible setting!!!
I'm doing tours for about 10 years now, but this one is among my TOP 3!
The performances and the setlist have all sorts of contents!
The easily accomplished robot role...
As a matter of fact Fujiwara's Mr. Haranishi was doing it! *burst out laughing*
I believe it's a live to laugh at, cry at and getting cheerful with!

This time broadcasting is pretty late.��
Nevertheless as it's such an interesting live, I of course want you to see it. ♡

I have to get up at 6 o'clock tomorrow to head to USJ in Osaka (laugh), but of course I gonna watch it in real time myself. ��
See you!
We are waiting for the boarding of KODA AIRLINE! *laugh*

I'm taking my must have item, the Mokomoko cap, with me for early morning rehearsal tomorrow!
I gonna give my best!

I didn't translate the post about BSC Tour last week.
Do you want to read it as well?

By the way, she hasn't promoted HUSH in any ways, hope it will be perform at Universal.

KODA KUMI SPECIAL LIVE at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS JAPAN setlist







https://twitter.com/KODAKUMINET/stat...83152488251392

It's rare for an artiste's staff social feed to post their artiste's setlist (SID & FLOW also do that too) so it's nice that for once this has happened to Kuu

Nice to see HUSH & LIT in the setlist and yay for you

Also Kuu looks so pretty in the photos

More photos from today's USJ special live

https://ameblo.jp/koda-kumi-blog/entry-12331639180.html

Kuu looks very pretty onstage . Also she's quite daring to take The Flying Dinosaur ride cos I've seen it personally when I went USJ beginning of this year with my sister & it was so scary that I didn't took it D:

My sister did as she's quite gungho so x)

I bet she's talking about ECSTASY, which she sang a couple of years ago but not for a "long time"...

She looks beautiful and the stage is quite nice as well. I wish we could watch those concerts.

Btw, the blog is gone already.

^ Nope, nothing besides a few pics each year :/

What is that something-ALENCE outfit? Is it a movie poster? Looks cool, the kind of stuff Katya would wear

Setlist is really nice, again.

Did anybody save the last post of the blog?
Guess I gonna look at the fanssites.
The Phillipine FC site on facebook might have it.
Never imagined they'd delete it so fast. ;_;
Especially as it was quite successful.
It was #1 for artists for the whole time and #2 in the general ranking, just after one of the ex-SMAP members.
She even got some nice articles about it.

When did she perform ECSTASY the last time?
I believe that was her last FC tour. In 2013, 4 years ago.
Imo, that is long.


Setlist is really nice. I love, that she included LIT and HUSH and other recent songs.
But her setlists for fans instead for the general public are mostly better.

We only ever got a small snippet from her LINE account for the 2015 one.
I've uploaded it back then.



EDIT:
Foudn the last two posts from yesterday at the German Kuu site on facebook.
Gonna translate that into English then.
I mean, I've also read the posts yesterday, just didn't have the time.

Oh wait, they deleted the blog? Why? *facepalm* They could just leave it with no updates for a week or so.

Well, either way, nice to see it grabbed some attention. Maybe she'll consider doing that once again?

Alright, here's the last blogpost from yesterday.

Quote:
USJ, Koda Kumi and Kumiko
2017.11.26

Now it's almost over!!
USJ!!
I had mixed feelings.
I was quite worried because of the different stage this time. T^T
Last night I was able to rehearse at that stage.



Thank you all so much!
It was an amazing live performance!





You cheered for me from every intro of every song (till the end).
The song selection was totally worth it.





I was able to see all of your faces and had a lot of eyecontact!
Or am I imagining things? lol

As we were in Osaka anyway, some members of my family and friends of my family came from Kyoto!
And guess who else came!!!
At 7 am Misonosuke (Note: Nickname of Misono and her husband Nosuke) came by Shinkansen, just to see me!!!



Together we had a small tour through USJ!
First the flying dinosaur.
I had to do it!
I really don't like high places, but I rode it nevertheless! lol
Everybody was excited.





Noooooooo~
So that's how you feel on the back of a Pteranodon! lol

Oh, it was really cool!!!
I hate high places, but I love all that screaming. lol
However, it almost was too easy!!!
Again! Again! On that thing!!!
I'd want to ride that attraction again.
It really was awesome.



From there we went...
To the Minions!! Cool!!!
I wanted to go to an audition to become a Minion!
There's a story about that, but sadly the attraction doesn't cover that one.
I personally own all DVDs and also play the mobile games, but you really feel like entering the Minion world!
You're getting entertained while waiting.
I'm waiting in line and the excitement rises. It's done really well.
I gonna make notes about that.



Honestly! I can't describe it thoroughly, you have to experience it for yourself!
Those unreasonable Minions, there's always a hint of disaster in the air.
I could cry... Gru's magic.
Gru. I could cry.
Actually my dancer Minami and I did cry. lol
USJ is the best place there is!
I feel like I'm back in my childhood.
For Christmas I certainly gonna come back, for Santa alone!
It was one of the best days of my life!!!

The 10 days limited Koda Kumi blog is now at its end.

For everybody reading this, it was a lot of fun and I was at least a little connected to you! *laugh*
Thank you!
Maybe I gonna start writing again someday!!!

I wish you all a very happy Christmas.

Much love from Koda Kumi and a Minion.


(I love that black outfit and her hair so much!)

I love her USJ outfits and the tracklist. It's such a shame these performances are never recorded. Would have been awesome to have at least this last one on the 2nd DVD for the next album, I mean she even performed HUSH there. Damn.

I wonder if we should expect new album announcement early January or February.
