I know this may be a dumb question, but do we know if anyone will post a BD upload of WOML Tour? I'm really anxious to see what Koda did this year, as 2014's was so awesome.
|
It's interesting - she has more hits than just Ai no Uta. Butterfly, Koi no Tusbomi and Cutie Honey are also songs everybody knows from her. And Koi no Tsubomi still is her highest selling solo song digitally as well. For her 10th Anniversary she did perform it on TV.
I do wonder, why she's so focused on Ai no Uta for TV this year. Maybe they think a ballad is more suitable - but she could also sing Moon Crying, you or Yume no Uta then, they're all highly loved as well. Hm. Ai no Uta is back on daily charts for full song on recochoku. Best~first things~ is still charting for albums. |
Her website was updated with WINTER of LOVE theme, there is a player for the previews, but only to the old songs http://rhythmzone.net/koda/
@orbitalaspect There is already a rip but on tudou.com only, probably later on this week we'll get the rip on torrents and stuff. @Corvina I think that, as a ballad, Ai no Uta still her signature song, the fact that the song still charts on Karaoke Rankings, just show how strong the song is for the general public. I can see why they are choosing this song instead of Koi no Tsubomi or any other ballad. I was watching the DVD and wow, the interludes are really good this time! Glad that she's not with those funny interludes anymore. I'm watching in low quality, but the chroma seems well done for the style of the interlude. It would be cool if someone could translate the interludes, since they have no talking but have japanese subtitles. |
NO ME WITHOU YOU lyrics:
今この場所で光に照らされている 私も私で 嘘じゃない 本当の自分なんて未熟すぎて 何もなくて Baby That's me ★幾度と思う Give up fighting だけど私 Keep on trying もう一人じゃない 君が By my side ☆There's no me without you 歌い続ける My Song もがいては苦しくて泣きたくなっても There's no me without you 何度も言ってアンコール 伝わってほしい I know it's true There's no me without you この道が間違いであっても 諦めることだけは 選ばない 傷つかないで幸せなんて 強くなんてなれない Baby I think ★☆Repeat 誰もが不安抱え 生きている yeah 誰かに支えられて 明日迎えてるんだ Yeah we go cause There's no me without you 叫び続ける Love You 息ができなくても あなたのためなら There's no me without you 何度も言ってアンコール こんな私だけれど There's no me without you There's no me without you It is a song for her fans. Makes sense starting the concert with it (as well as being the closing song for WoL) and also why fans attending the live can purchase it already through mu-mo. |
THERE'S NO ME WITHOUT YOU(R MONEY IN MY BAG)

On another note, I'm also waiting for a download link BUT I don't care whether it's a Blu Ray or DVD Rip. I just wanna download it so I can finally have my Kuu concert (2012-2015) marathon asap. *__* |
^ I don't understand...
Edit: Ok, you edited hahaha sorry |
I know she doesn't sing for money but I lol'ed at that :laugh
Wanna get home asap and listen to this globe song, and then wondering how Kuu will work on the song hahaha |
I'm not here for another cover like ENGAGED, so I hope she brings something good with Wanderin’ Destiny.
|
it's just a joke I didn't mean it seriously. It just fit so perfectly in that moment haha Kuu is one of my favorite singers and one of the best entertainers I've ever seen I know she doesn't sing just for money. I hope she'll keep going for a long time from now on too and I'm really looking forward to this cover
|

The concert is really good. If you don't care about spoilers, here are the highlights (I'm not gonna be specific naming the songs that has those special moments anyway):
Spoiler:
Btw, I really like her new dancers! There is one male dancer that is so cute and handsome, it's a good replacement since Shinnosuke left. |
It was painful to listen to that preview of NO ME WITHOUT YOU.
|
Quote:
I'm not a fan of Wanderin' Destiny, but I think with Kuu's vocals it may sound great... the vocals are my main problem with the original. |
I just rediscovered my love for Driving Hit's 3. Gosh, that album is perfection.
That Bounce remix, way better than the original mix. And Can we go back.... Eargasm. haha |
^I love DH3, DH4 and Beach Mix the most out of all remix albums Kuu has released so far. :heart
|
Quote:
Totally according :o The Kuu version will be better, I know :yes |
WOML Tour DVD stays at #2 for the third day - #1-2-2
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/dm/d/2015-12-03/ Ai no Uta is rising on recochoku as full song. Best~first things~ for abums as well. And WALK OF MY LIFE is charting for RBT. For videos Dance In The Rain, You can keep up with me and Mercedes from WOML Tour are charting. A japanese fan posted a screenshot on Instagram listening to the full version of NO ME WITHOUT YOU. It's 4:08 min long in full. |
MUSIC STATION SUPER LIVE 2015 performers have been announced and Kuu is not in the list :-(
http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/music/cont...229/index.html |
Quote:
|
oh that sucks that she is not in the list:no
|
Quote:
Too bad Kuu isn't at MSta, how I regret when I complained her overperforming songs on the TV, now we barely get them on TV :laugh |
Quote:
|
No Kuu and no Ayu on the Super Live? Damn :(
|
Quote:
I will still watch it for the Johnnys groups and a few others like Kobukuro I don't know for past years but this year's line up was chosen based on viewers who have to write in to MUSIC STATION to request who they want to see on the show |
Quote:
|
At least, still has Leo Ieiri ~ Kimi ga Kureta Natsu :love
|
I'm not depressed at all, if kuu and ayu get to go all were gonna hear is seasons and ai no uta again. It's better if they rest instead.
|
I don't understand why y'all complain at Kuu and ayu performing classics on TV. It's not like who's casually watching it at home wants to keep up on her most recent tunes, and th rise of Ai no uta on digital charts show it was a nice move actually, I doubt EX TAPE would have charted if she had sung it lol At least when it comes to her concerts and festivals setlists there's more variety :shrug She's past her popoularity peak and as long as she does not gets on top again this will be what TV viewers will expect, and since Kuu is totally audience-driven on her production this will be what she will follow.
|
Aaaws, no Kuu on Music Station Super Live this year? Oh well, a good reason to skip that live then completely since I pretty much watch it only because of Kuu anyway. XD

To me the problem is other artistes might sing their own recent material on MSSL once more
You see recently on FNS Kayousai . Ayu and Kuu sang their old material but Johnnys like ARASHI , Hey! Say! JUMP & Kis My Ft 2 did medleys that included material which they released this year Something's not right as it's unfair that both ladies have to sing their old songs but yet Mika Nakashima sang Hanataba which she released this year If I'm someone that does not listen to Ayu and Kuu , I get the impression they have not been musically active over the years which obviously is not the case Maybe both ladies did want to sing their newer stuff but the organisers said no ? |
^ It's hard to say if they couldn't sing their newest songs, specially on Kuu's case since she wasn't even there for the broadcasting. Knowing how Kuu is treated on that show, she would probably sing, at least, one more song with someone else. But if that was the case, that's really disrespectful with them.
Kumi wasn't on Music Station SL 2014 as well, btw. I'm pretty sure it's not the case of them not being invited, they probably have better things to do than go there. I mean, if even BoA is there to sing, there is no way they wouldn't invite Kuu and Ayu. |
Loving how shady this thread is these days, tea is being served hawt
|
Kaled is right. The last years before, Kuu always performed a collabo with someone else at FNS Kayousai. Back in 2012 she even had 4 songs (Ai no Uta, Shake Hip! plus two other collabos).
Considering her set this year was prerecorded, as she couldn't be there having her own concert that day, we don't know, what would have happended if she had had time. |
And by the way, during 2014, she only had ONE performance on TV (SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA - Music Japan).
I'd rather see her singing Ai no Uta three times again, than no performance at all. I don't think she'll attempt Music Station Super Live as long as it's on Christmas Day like it is this year. She has a kid, and I think her family comes first during holidays. :) |
Quote:
Even though we of course don't know if she even was invited or not and decided going on vacation before or after. :P |
Quote:
Though for Kuu I don't mind so much that she's always sings Ai no Uta, because I'm just happy she stopped singing koi no tsubomi... |
I'm obsessed with the digipak packaging!!! But the sticker on the plastic wrap of my copy is half ripped off TT__TT

First Saitama concert is over.
http://imageshack.com/a/img903/139/XrcLJm.png Short video of WON|T BE LONG today: https://www.instagram.com/p/-6LjSwPicA/ Short video of the MC today: https://www.instagram.com/p/-6IqYHlVs3/ Kuu sang a bit of love across the ocean in the MC today. Audience sang Kimi Omoi before Encore as a surprise for Kuu (in Osaka it was WALK OF MY LIFE). Btw. the middle stage is also in Saitama. http://imageshack.com/a/img910/3527/A0aWMi.png http://imageshack.com/a/img907/5945/UnsrwH.png There's one happy little foreign fan, who went today, who got arena seats, 2nd row right next and beforen the stage! Wooow! *-* The two times I went, I always got 2nd level seats through FC. Well, first time it was 1st row 2nd level, which is right next to the arena seats, which was awesome. But getting arena seats is really hard with Kuu. Lee^chan is going for about the 100th time watching Kuu live tomorrow and she sadly never got arena seats. It's something I still want to experience. :laugh |
|
^ That looks gorgeous! It's like JLo's performance at American Idol, but with a good song and a good singer. And Carrie Underwood at Grammy 2013.
Today's show was the same selist. |
We'll most likely get news articles with official info and pics tomorrow after the final.
Some more general pics: http://imageshack.com/a/img908/2535/Shlr6L.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img633/8761/85Fccg.jpg And here's a chinese track by track review of the concert from Baidu, only first part though: Spoiler:
What I got with google translation and knowing Kanjis from Japanese: -Opening and interlude movies are based on concert preparations combined with interviews. - Act 1 is done in a retro style -NO ME WITHOUT YOU is performed standing above the curtains and LED in a long white dress as opening song. -SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA is done in a broadway retro style, curtain rises. - WON't BE LONG is an audience interaction song (like you can see in the short video from today) -LOADED and Cupcake are dance performances -TOUCH DOWN has a crutch dance?? -the big white dress with LED projections on the skirt (pic from today above) is for you performance. - ON AND ON is the song with the big crystal chandelier and the red dress - 2nd part of the show is a lot of dancing. Did I get it right? If somebody wants to translate properly, feel free to do so and correct me.^^ |
I think TOUCH DOWN is like a cane dance, similar to JLo's Get Right.
Curious to see if BAMBI and TOUCH DOWN are remixes, 'cause the original mixes might sound a little out of place. |
Quote:
|
wow I'm excited for the live now, lol. that was nice from her fans to sing Kimi Omoi for her. I know they're pachinko exclusive songs but would be amazing if kuu one day could perform those 3 songs :(
Thank you for all the info and pictures Talking abour fever legend live, anybody has So fever, Kimi Omoi and Never give it up in mp3 format? would you be kind to share them with me, thank you :D |
The chinese fan from Baidu just posted his second part of track by track review of the concert:
Spoiler:
Again google translate and Kanji reading: - the medley has heavy dancing - TABOO has a new kind of performance, something with electric skates or something similar for the male dancers and LED bars for the females - HURRICANE is performed at the second small middle stage - UNIVERSE and Megumi no Hito are the usual dance performance - Poppin' love cocktail is the towel dance perf - she rides the car for TAKE BACK~Birthday Eve~With your smile to the second smal middle stage and performs BRING IT ON ithere before riding the car back to the main stage (while singing IN THE AIR~Someday~Lady Go!). - walk at the end is the 10th anniversary version, walk ~to the future~ (and it ends with a moon being shown on the screen it seems) -the shows ends with the curtain falling half down - an old coin operated record player (a jukebox?) shows up and NO ME WITHOU YOU is played in music box mode. At the same time , words of gratitude are shown on the screens at the side. So the show ends like it has started. - btw. the chinese fan has three highlight performances - SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA, TOUCH DOWN and TABOO. Again if somebody fluently in Chinese wants to translate properly, please go ahead and correct me! |
My translation from what Marika posted . For me I will just overwrite what the fan wrote in Mandarin , it's upfront not 100% correct and let alone I'm down with sinus so x_x
Some parts I'm not quite sure so I will just leave them out . What I did was that all the Mandarin words , I put them on Google Translate and I listen to the audio when Google Translate read them out . I also read the words at the same time too In addition , traditional Mandarin words are not my friend -_- Anyway ... Part 1 Spoiler:
I will do Part 2 later on when I wake up as it's a lot more longer And on that note , 15th anniversary to Kuu ! |
Quote:
|
I'm just really happy for her anniversary
https://45.media.tumblr.com/52efffad...s7p4o1_500.gif Congratulations to her and all her staff :heart |
The electronic skates in TABOO that the fan mentioned, Kuu rode on one of those hoverboards that have suddenly become popular. She fell off it twice, but she did it so cutely that it didn't even matter :luv2

=== Translation of Part 2 from last night's fan account of the Chinese fan Spoiler:
Retro theme on Kuu's new album huh ? That I can't wait , hope what the fan wrote at the last part of his/her fan report will turned out to be true ! |
sounds awesome:love

TBS will broadcast Koda Kumi 15th Anniversary LIVE The Artist in February 2016 The footages that TBS will air will be taken from today's concert More details tbc http://www.tbs.co.jp/tbs-ch/oshirase...1206_1600.html http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1029453 |
Thank you so much, Karen! *-*
Seriously, this concert sounds amazing! ♥ Seems like really much effort was put in it. Can't wait to watch the broadcast in February. Still so far away though. Hopefully we're getting a DVD not long after. Lee^chan is doing a review from today when she's coming back. Let's see, if they change something for the final and actual anniversary today! |
You're welcome Marika , the Chinese fan was quite detailed on what he/she wrote
And you're right , this last set of concerts to mark Kuu's 15th anniversary sounds good and it feels as though a considerable amount of effort went into making them Hopefully Kuu will say something on her plans for 2016 tonight during the MC segment |
wow sounds amazing cant wait to watch it nex year:luv2
|
Reading japanese posts on Instagram - seems the concert had some troubles in between, so they started a new just about an hour ago!
|
Thank you for the translation, KarenPang!
The concert seems so much fun, and now that we know when they are going to broadcast it, I can't wait to see. |
Hall Tour for next year announced!
http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1029578 Coming to all 47 prefectures. More infos coming 12/14! |
Quote:
|
Does she ever take a break?? Can't believe she's announcing the next tour already... She's unstoppable lol
I wonder if that means we'll have a new album announcement soon... |
omg so many amazing news these days hahahaha The concert seems to be amazing, thanks for the translation Karen!
If she's pulling off a retro album after WoL 2016 will already be a great year for me hahahaha Can't wait to get more details on both the album and the tour! |
New album only after Winter of Love, I would say.
Girl is going EVERYWHERE in Japan! That's awesome! The Tour will be longer than Second Session and Bon Voyage, the longest she ever had. And since she'll probably perform more than one time at some places, I would say the tour will have around 50 dates! Get that coin. Am I the only one who likes Hall concerts more than Arena? Her stages for Hall are so much detailed. The Dejavu Tour and Bon Voyage Tour had stages that were so full of things going on. |
You're welcome everybody & I think what the Chinese fan wrote is true . A new studio album should be out next year , if not they will not announce a new hall tour in 2016
Her new hall tour probably will be really long as she will visit 47 prefectures in Japan oO . Probably the new album will be ready in the 1st 1/4 of 2016 I just hope Kuu will not pull an Ayu and put the new tracks in both SUMMER of LOVE & WINTER of LOVE in her next studio album x_x And Kaled , you want to update the 1st post of the thread with updated information on WINTER of LOVE & the new hall tour ? |
^well after Ayu's LOVE again mini's idk...
especially when she called SUMMER of LOVE a Single and the sales were singles like ! lol and tbh for me they are singles (but more like special singles with more content... (cause 15th bla bla) plus she wouldn't have much videos for her next album, so i think at least EX TAPE + On and On will be on her next album... so i don't understand the problem, cause no one would say something if they were just normal singles! |
Forgot to add - Happy 15th anniversary, queen! <3
I don't think there'll be tracks from SoL or WoL on the next album... If songs like Hashire! or Inside/Outside Fishbowl didn't make it, it would be out of Kuu's patern to do so :shrug Maybe we'll get a digital single after WoL just to warm things up? Either way, if she does include these tracks that's okay cause probably we'll get 10~12 new songs and that's already amazing. |
Now, also from me, happy 15th Anniversary, Kuu!
Hoping your years to come will be exciting, healthy and successfull! Made a little drawing the last night (just a photo, don't have a scanner right now): http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/280...911/GYYEtw.jpg Either we get a new album or Spring of Love with another 3 new songs... xD EDIT: First official photo: http://imageshack.com/a/img911/5696/tLIATa.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img903/397/9BrYA8.jpg First japanese articles are up! |

Two more pics:

Articles mention, tour next year will start in March.
For ON AND ON she was lifted 10 meters into the air with the chandelier. After WON'T BE LONG today, there was a 20 minutes break cause of video malfunctioning. Production and variety for the show were fascinating. |

They are the same pictures you posted. haha

Ah... got back from Saitama last day live.
As it had been mentioned by a Chinese fan (translated by Corvina & Karen) This is my review: Spoiler:
Her vocal was really great this time, much more better comparing to her A-Nation premium live in Summer. However, for the whole performance, if you have seen WoML, you may be disappointed with this tour. After all of those extravaganza things she did on WoML (flying car, piano, drum, guitar, crazy tissue dance during DitR, etc) this tour lacked the usual "WOW-ness". But overall, it was a great concert. |
Actually all those different things Kumi did for woml tour made it a bit random and less personal. So this new tour sounds much better to me.
|
Yay a new tour. I have a question for the global fan club members. Can you buy tickets with the global fan club account? If you can it it possible to pay with credit card? I want to join the fan club and try to get some tickets for next years tour. =D
|
A side note, according to Koda Gumi the capitalization for the new song is simply "Cupcake" and not all in caps
|
Guys,I really REALLY hope that she releases a new album in february or march.
|
I really don't think adding the tracks from SoL or WoL into a new album is a good idea after what happened with Ayu's LOVE again. I don't want that sort of a shitstorm to arriive to this thread because it wasn't a beautiful sight. That's why I hope the new album is made of 100% new songs. But if she decides to use those songs, then I'm just going to relax and watch the fandom meltdown while I eat popcorn. :D
As for the new pics from the concert, I really loved them all. I like the outfits we've seen so far. They have been classy and fabulous. :love |
Can someone help me maybe?
A friend of mine will be in Japan next April and hopes that Koda is giving her first live of the year, while she stays there. Has someone a clue how to get tickets for the concert and is it maybe like ayu with a lottery? Thanks in advance |
Two more pictures again:

The other outfit is beautiful though. |
Long summary of News videos from The Artist concert (with On And On preview):
https://www.facebook.com/emi.takahas...6029689953545/ |
OMG TABOO LOOKS AMAZING :thud
I hate the hairstyle for the ballad section, but everything else is slaying yay Kuu |
Everything looks classy and beautiful. I'm eager to know about the new album. Hopefully is a studio.

Wow , On And On live performance snippet at last night's concert looks really grand & so cool :love
Kuu looks great when she sang you & Ai no Uta too |
Damn she sounds so strained in Ai no Uta. On And On sounds like it could be a really pretty song.
|
Weren't you saying that for every Ai no Uta performance this year?
Guess you don't like the way she sings it nowadays. :laugh That last high note for On And On! :heart |
Incredible.
|
OMG THAT SONG IS AMAZING I AM SPEECHLESS RIGHT NOW
Okay, got my breath now. Damn, I love those drums and all the drama around this song, this might be one of the best things she's done in years. This globe tribute album is gonna be great omggg |
Is it me or is her voice too loud for the first verse compared to the music?
I love, love, love that she's the one doing the spoken verses! Really looking forward to the full thing. |

I'm really curious about how the globe cover will turn out. It's so ominous and mysterious! |
