I know for sure Kuu wouldn't disappoint at all. I really can't wait for the Bluray release. How's the light stick? Is it light weight? Easy to hold for a couple hours? It's about the only merchandise item I haven't bought and was curious about it.


Also, off that topic, in Kuu's song NO TRICKS a lyric says "I can get on your SL drop top". Does anyone know what the "SL" stands for?

I think it is quite heavy to hold, I may have more arm muscle after this tour hahaha

By the way, I like the design which relates to the theme of the tour and light function that can change to 3 styles (red, light green, both)

I don't like any lightstick which is simple and just Geometric shapes.

^I liked the MV/song but the song itself doesn’t sound very Kuuish to me. It sounds more like 90s jpop that Namie Amuro was famous for in her debut era. I also think that TK should upload this song on Spotify instead of having it exclusively on an Asian website. That’s such a weird move to make imo because on Spotify the song would get more plays in general.

Gustavopc 14th June 2023 01:46 PM

iirc the song has a tie-in for a Chinese game and it's focused on mainland China, so I guess that until the song makes it way into an album or something we won't have it here... Don't know why avex just doesn't upload it everywhere, cause even if I didn't like the song it sure is a great music video and should be on YT already!

Corvina 17th June 2023 09:49 AM

It's a TK song (produced, composed, written), Kuu is only providing the vocals. The PV has around 7 million views on bilibili right now. I don't think it would do better on youtube.
Rumour has it, Kuu has another tie-in in China now, cause Trust Last resulted in a small Kuu hype there.

We'll eventually get the song, depending on the contract.
Most probably after the tie-in ends.

ShiniTakashi 31st July 2023 01:04 AM

Not trying to be negative, but "BLACK WINGS" should've stayed an interlude.

On that matter, I haven't really been a fan of much of what she's released since heart. I have no idea what her next album will look like, but I'm tired of this dual personality thing she's been pushing since W FACE.

I personally disagree. I didn’t like it as an interlude much but I like it as a full song so much more for some reason. :D

You’re not alone with your feelings on this. I've had mixed feelings about this dual personality concept for few years now. It was cool when she did it once with W FACE but now it's just boring and repetitive (However, I absolutely LOVE Trigger, it’s my fav from WINGS tho). I think that it's time for her to ditch this concept and do something new like she used to do with every album. Heart was a great album because it had a new concept altogether and I hoped she'd continue with changing concepts with future projects too but she just jumped back to dual personality train. I really hope that this EP/tour is the end of this concept tho and she'll do something new and exciting with her next album.

KarenPang 1st August 2023 03:23 PM

I'm not going to lie when heart was released last year , I do thought that Kuu would release another duality ish album after heart

heart was & is still great but it barely stayed on Oricon less than 2 months which made it her weakest staying studio album to date which's a real shame as heart deserves so much more

Kuu already did the duality concept 3x for her studio and mini albums & I hope it wouldn't happen again for the 4th time :s

I say the minimum asking price is expensive but yet there're still takers for the acrylic stands

But considering only fanclub members can get them , let alone the design's randomly allocated , I'm not surprised

In the end I settle for 2nd best , I got both angeL / monsteR postcards & Kuu's 20th anniversary backlog acrylic stand

Cheaper for me to afford somemore , lol

I do have a friend who went and bought a couple of the acrylic figures for some of those high prices. As for myself, I purchased a couple from the original tour goods and no longer have space for any kind of figures or display stuff of that sort, so I don't really have an interest in receiving anything else.

Hey, does anyone know if the remixes from Driving Hits Tokyo Auto Salon have leaked yet at all?

Gustavopc 16th January 2024 06:58 PM

As far as I know, it hasn't... maybe in a couple of days when overseas fans start receiving their music cards. Such an odd release strategy btw, they could have sold a physical version with a goodie on the event and release it globally through streaming. Selling physical cards at an event just to download an album seems so odd to me...

ILoveGeniuses 16th January 2024 09:07 PM

^Thanks!! *Fingers crossed*

EDIT:
BTW, I was listening to her song "Stay" from the UNIVERSE album this morning and at a couple spots something in English is said in the background. I hear "*something I can't make out* Please come back to me". Does anyone know what is actually being said there?

Gustavopc 24th January 2024 02:39 PM

^ Nice question lol I always heard "now baby please come back to me" but I'm not so sure and seems like there's still something a bit before it

Oooh I didn't expect this, that's really good news !!!

ILoveGeniuses 21st February 2024 03:54 PM

Absolutely LOVE the covers!! I've preordered my fc edition already. Plus non-kkapp members are getting an acrylic stand with their copy this time. I'm looking forward to seeing the designs of them. :heart :luv2
Only thing to slightly disappoint me is that the latest Anniversary Event isn't included with the FC edition of the album. Was really hoping to have a physical copy of it.

Isicio 22nd February 2024 11:08 AM

Great covers, but I don't see the CD only on cdjapan, I don't know why ��

The CD Only wasn't listed on mu-mo yesterday either when I went to place my preorder for the FC edition.

Btw, I have much larger HQ images of the UNICORN covers if anyone is interested. They're 2048x2048.

minkAYuko 22nd February 2024 07:12 PM

Ku's Kray! she better give us a new sound!

@ILoveGeniuses: Yes please do.

SKYia 22nd February 2024 08:17 PM

Guys, pls help. I've been to Japan many times but Kuu never had concerts back while I was there. I have just bought tickets to Japan for July and she has concerts in Chiba (12.07), Ishikawa (15.07) and Kyoto (19.07) while I'm there. I know I have just missed the application / lottery in fan club (I'm not in fan club, but I would consider joining if tickets were stil available). Any idea how can I get a ticket for Chiba and / or Kyoto? I would like to secure it now but I'm afraid my only chance will be to try in Lawsons when I'm there which I'm scared will be too late. Are resellers still a thing? But again, I would like to know I have it before I go there, maybe some app will be selling tickets? Pls help.

mi|kshake 22nd February 2024 10:37 PM

Was not expecting an album announcement! Glad we have a solo version of Trust Last! Wish Jump to the Breeze had been included but looking forward to the reveal of the rest of the tracklist!

Unfortunately general sales might be your only option. Depending when they go on sale, you may be able to use a middle man to purchase them before you get to Japan.

Sadly Kuu is really not concerned about foreign fans anymore. The KK App is unavailable outside of Japan (unless you sideload it). The ticket presale this time required membership to both KK App and Koda Gumi, the latter of which is not possible to register for without Japanese information (credit card, phone number, address).

But maybe someone else here knows something that I don't.

Corvina 23rd February 2024 03:38 PM

There is lottery rounds for both fanclubs and also one for the public (but you need to be registered to the ticket site afaik).
First was the lottery for members of both fanclubs, then for Koda Gumi, her main one, and right now it's for the KK app till February 25th. Having those three rounds isn't new, it's been like that for some years now (I think it started 2017 with the double member round? Back then with Koda Gumi and playroom ofc).
But indeed it's not made for international fans, but sadly that was to be expected with them closing down the international Koda Gumi.

The presale round for the public is March 2nd till March 6th (usually through the Lawson online site, but they haven't said yet).
General sale for the rest of the tickets then starts March 30th.
You can buy tickets from the general sale on the machines in Lawson stores, that might be an option being in Japan as well (as you said).
You find the info of the sale periods here:
https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1114084
They make announcements in the news section on her official site with the start of every round, so best to check the site regularly.
Some dates might not be available if they sell out through either of those rounds.
And if dates don't sell out, they also sold tickets at the venues in the past. But sometimes to a higher price and those seats are always in the back.
Tickets are also digital this time, so you need the Anypass app, which does work internationally.
(every person going with you needs a ticket through the app btw.)

Good luck, I seriously hope you will be able to snatch some tickets!

Thank you, it was bugging me that I was too late for FC tickets, at least I know there wasn't anything I could do anyway. I'm looking at bridge.jpn.com right now, someone recommended it to me as a middleman.

hey, does anybody know the translation to the lyrics of "Hey baby" (iamSHUM REMIX) before "atashi kodomo ja nai"? I haven't heard these lyrics before, and I can't find them online either.
(or is it from another song altogether? it sounds vaguely familiar...)

This remix is from "Driving Hit's Tokyo Auto Salon"

ILoveGeniuses 27th February 2024 07:46 AM

I just asked CDJAPAN as to the reason why they haven't listed the CD ONLY edition. My response was that it's an Official Site Exclusive.
