First pics of the JAPONESQUE Tour DVD!



From Koda Kumi French Fans Page on facebook

Those Let's Party vol 2 pictures are amazing: she's so sexy! She's wonderful in black. I need a DVD of this!

Oh, that JAPONESQUE TOUR DVD cover design is so simple yet beautiful at the same time♥

^ ikr! It looks so edgy and classy :heart Cant wait to get my copy

*________________*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh, the packaging is :luv2

Now that time has past since the Dreaming now release I think I've finally formed an opinion.

Dreaming now! - I felt the song wasn't bad but it wasn't remember able. I don't really find it catchy tbh.

XXX- the lyrics are kind of dumb and I felt that chorus part could have been waaaay better but it is super freakin catchy. I hope we get a remix on the next driving hits.

I want a new single before the next album. I just feel like with the Color the Cover, enough singles haven't been released yet to bring focus to the next album it still feels like she's in Color the Cover interregnum.

^ Well, it's very usual for her to release an album after three singles, like with TRICK, Dejavu and JAPONESQUE, and she's already dropped four singles. Five would throw back to the Black Cherry / Kingdom golden days when she used to sell a lot... So I don't think they'll put out another single, especially when the pre-album singles sell poorly and her sales are already not that high :shrud It's possible, but very unlikely imo Also she usually releases her albums between January and March, so the album may be released soon...

I hope this time we won't have the same drama with the JAPONESQUE Tour rip how was with the Premium Live... Only now we have a blu-ray rip and I don't care about Premium Live anymore to download it.

If the album is being release on january or february, this (and the next one) are the weeks for the announcement.

I have to say the PV helped me a lot appreciate more Dreaming Now!, it gave the song this "trybal" feeling that really defines it, making it "darker", somehow less generic and more powerful.
I always love more Kuu single tracks when they're included in an album and being given a precise direction thanks to the tracklist. I don't know why.

I wish I liked DN more, but everytime I play it all I can hear in the first line is:

I WANNA DREAMING NOW. CAN'T DO IT. WIN A CAR.

You don't hear WIENER CUP? lol

First time I heard "WIN A COKE" :roflmao

That's what I hear.

Two more days!, I'm checking JPS every 30 minutes :D I want Japonesque Tour in full asap :)

It would be such a beautiful thing to see the Japonesque Tour DVD and the Japonesque album (limited edition) just side by side :luv2

wow, the DVD is gorgoeus! The slip case is really beautiful :)

Ive got the limited edition ill do it :) lol (but I got the bluray...so same thing!)


My bluray is in shipping process! Hopefully Ill have it Thursday!! FedEx is always super fast for me! HURRY UP!!!

My copy of JAPONESQUE Tour is probably also being shipped, but it's being delivered to my cousin's house along with other things he's buying [he bought the tour for me yey], but I'll be only putting my hands on it in January so whatever :laugh

I dreamed last night that they had announced her new album for late February [dont remember if there was an specific date] and it would have five versions. Guess someone here is too ansious hahaha :P

Edit Saw on FFP@FB that Dreaming Now! got #48 for its third week, with 2.3k copies. Now the total sales are 25.572 copies. Officialy surpassed Koishikute and Summer Trip :)

^I hope your dream comes true because I'm ready for the new album already. :D

Nice! I'm glad, because I like this single much better :D

Also saw a picture of the DVDs and BDs on sales and it seems the BD does not come with a slipcase :grumpy wtf avex? I'm so mad for getting the BD now argh

both, dvd and blu-ray come with a slipcase in first press.
some stores have them up for display without, and yes, regular press does not have it either.

^ Oh, thank God them :laugh Thanks for the info :P

I don't know why but I'm really curious about the title of this upcoming album.

Me too! She always comes up with amazing concepts for her albums, and the photoshoot is always well produced also. I'm hoping for dark colours this time~

Someone requested this XD!!

Kuu on the cover of the January edition of Edge Style, from French Fans Page @ FB

https://scontent-b-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/...86779129_n.jpg

Edge Style likes too overphotoshop her, huh?

Oh, one more thing: JAPONESQUE Tour BD was item #28 on CdJapan annual ranking of Jpop BD/DVDs! Premium Night was #56 btw

Almost done watching my bluray. It was awesome.. wait for the escalate preformance!!! And they added a lot of camera extras (slow down etc..) really makes it.. they stepped it up this tour!

I am disappointed though.. they didnt show the videos while she was dressing and im at the end (2 songs left) and she has only has talked twice... thats not normal for kuu.. she talks alot! Seems like a Wowow preformance :(

Also.. when u watch it.. keep watching its never really over lol

:luv2
Thank you !

I like how Kuu can match her albums with her tours, and makes the whole thing so cohesive !

^^^ OMG What did they do to her face on that cover?! If you hadn't said it was her, I wouldn't have recognized her.

Welcome!!!! Yea it matches pretty great!!! Its the exact feel and everything. I love it!

The Hall Tour will start on March 12th 2014 in Osaka with total of 44 dates.
And it seems that they already decided on the theme.
Tokyo got 3 dates.. guess have to be patience until June or July :(
why on weekdays!!!

When I first saw the cover I had the same reaction :laugh

Oh god, I haven't been here in a while. Any new song from the last couple of months? :D

Thank you so much for this!

Can we talk about the cuteness of those Kuu e-mails? I CAN'T. New album, omg, can't wait!!
And lol at that EDGE cover, she doesn't look like herself at all! XD

^ She released Dreaming Now! just a month ago and both the a-side and b-side are amazing imo :yes

Is it me or has Kuu dyed her hair once again?

https://31.media.tumblr.com/b36631f3...qyuyo1_500.jpg

Hopefully it's for the album photoshooting :banana1

Edge Style cover is nice but it's true that it's way too photoshopped lol. :D and I really like that brown hair. I love how Kuu never gets so obsessed with that annoying blonde color Ayu is so deeply in love with lol. :D

PLEASEEEEEEEE ;___; !!

@Gustavopc:

Kuu had a photoshoot a day ago, probably for the album cover. :)
Would love one with that brown hair too!

She doesn't look like Kuu at all :thud

EDGE cover is not that good, but, God, the pics inside look amazing! <3

Are there HQ covers available of Dreaming Now?

OMG THE INSIDE PICS :thud :thud :thud

And yey at a photoshoot done this week :D I'm so hoping for the album announcement next week, even it's only give us the release date

http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/3378/jg50.jpg

Blu-ray iso is on JPS ~55GB, still waiting for some 4-7GB .mkv or .mp4

Kuu recorded today! :)

If you could measure anxiety, there wouldn't be a big enough scale for me rn :laugh They need to announce it this week, Gosh! Hope we get Bring It On on this album, I really need that in my life

Wow. :D Awesome photos♥

I love this song so much♥

Congrats for #1 in both categories*-*

So proud of her!!

I can't wait to finally get my FC copy and watch this show, but unfortunately it still has not shipped!

yey, more #1 DVDs for Kuu :D

Yay good to know that! Btw, there is a rip of the Blu-ray on Baidu, but it's with those chinese password.

Finally, .mkv version of Japonesque Tour is on JPS, the main part is ~5.65GB, extras are around 2GB, downloading right now :)

^ Thanks for letting us know, I'll download this night as well :D

Yay awesome thanks. =D

I still want Kumies Dolls to be a thing. Just saying.

Aaw, JAPONESQUE TOUR topped the charts as I expected would happen! :D And it's really no surprise because her concerts are the best♥

7Gb .mkv file is a bit too big for my taste. Maybe I will wait for a moment for a bit smaller file because my laptop is getting old and can't play those huge files. :3 And since I can't access Jpopsuki nor download anything from that place because of their weird rules, I hope someone will upload the concert in parts here and preferably on MEGA or mediafire because those are the best.

I wonder when she'll announce the new album?

^I hoped for today, because it's wednesday.

But unfortunately she only announced the HAPPY BOX through the FanClub.

http://jpfiles.eu/2013/12/11/bdrip-%...sque%EF%BD%9E/

I think it's the same file, but for those who can't go to jpopsuki.

I'm trying to download that jpfiles file, but those parts are so huge it takes a lot of time. But since it's Kuu, it's all worth it♥

What's missing between KOSOKOSO and VIP? because there's only few seconds between those two songs and there was a costume change, I mean what was there during the concert? silence? some video? anyone knows?

I cant download in JPS or JPF. Can someone please upload into mega !?
Thanks in advance

They actually skipped the screens in the main part of the concert? This is so confusing, watching them outside the context is weird but on the other hand they don't seem to fit the concert, I'd probably skip them anyway :p

what! no interlude movies included ?? thats weirddd

Ai no Uta

pass: 1207

She is so energetic! loved it :heart

Didn't they skip somethig on Black Cherry Tour DVD as well? I remember there was a skip before GO WAY!! Performance. :)

And I hate to download from Ryushare. It takes 6 fuckin' hours to download one of those parts argh. -.- I wish jpfiles used Mega or mediafire instead but no can do. :(

^ I remember that a segment was cut where she sang some commercial songs because of her scandal.

I mentioned earlier there was no movies and they cut stuff... makes.me mad becaue ur buying this tour because u didnt go see it so u need to see all of it..not it chopped up :(

The concert is like 2:40 withough the screens, the screens are 40 min or so, maybe they thought it'd be too much, for me the making offs were more funny than the actual screens :)

Yeah I was wondering how come she changes so fast :laugh

thats so awful, she never did that for a concert before u_U but I guess they were right since her interlude movies arent that great anymore since kingdom tour (except for universe/dream music park)

the segment that was cut from black cherry tour was not her performing, it was the screen showing some CMs that were not allowed anymore because they were cancelled after the 2008 scandal. it was after the talk with Tohoshinki and before Butterfly, there was a costume change between those.

Don't know how that works though.

Dreaming now is doing fine!

What were Kuu's rankings on Recochoku's year end chart from last year?

Is Kuu a better digital seller than ayuma and namie ?

Yes, I'll look for the statistics later but Kuu is the best selling female artist digitally and the 3rd most overall

Please Kuu just dont pull out a Beyonce and release your new album out of the blue k? But shooting [again] videos for all songs is still a good idea :laugh

btw I was thinking of what would they include in a limited edition of this album and... Do you guys think it's possible for her to make a CD+PVs DVD+FC Tour Live DVD edition of the album? I'd love her to do so :D

CD+PV+FC Live is a must.

Ohhh, why do I kind of want that to happen, lol?:D

The edge scans are beautiful! I love them <3

Thanks for the Edge Style scans. Besides the broom hair in one of the shots, she looks AMAZING!!!!

Kuu's Recochoku rank is out, she's #20 this year for artists!

Popped in TRICK to my car stereo after a long time of not listening to that album. I forgot how great Moon Crying is.
