Loving all the displays as always! The FC version is gorgeous! I feel this one release where all the covers are amazing!

I wanna see Dreaming now and Lucky Star MVs... I hope someone can upload it!

Also among the latest Instagram Stories Kuu posted recently is that you PV has been viewed more than 1 million times on YouTube

Idk how often I watched her WIND performance at Kansai Collection.
Her vocals are awesome there and I love her energy!

puff having more than a million streams is interesting.
On Spotify it's around 200k, on AWA only around 70k.
So the majority of streams is coming from Line Music, Apple Music and amazon and so from a Japanese audience.
Most probably the most from Line Music as it charted in the top 20 there with release and is among her top 70 songs there now.

Kumi total streams on Spotify: 88,545,469
Number of followers: 379,381

I'm glad that Kuu still seems to get good digital support from fans, I remember her thanking fans on her Instagram stories for getting Re(Cord) to #1 on Line music. Is the FC version of this tour still available on the global FC?

@kaled Kalil Thanks so much for the AI upressed version of the AND tour btw! What program did you use to upres it, if you don't mind me asking?

I'd like to try and do upressed versions of Black Cherry and Trick tour since we never got HD versions of those I don't think.

Yes. both editions are still available!

@Ayu_Love:
Yeah, also explains why they tried to push Line Music with campaigns in the past, if her streams are good there.

Kuu is guest in the new episode of the キャイ〜ンのティア channel together with Gackt:



And they held the final of the 17Live audition!
Kuu is announcing the winner and the ranking via live stream on 17Live March 27.

Kuu's My Name Is... Tour DVD/BR ranking through the first week:

DVD 3-4-5-11-9
BR 4-6-5-out of top 10

Tomorrow last day and weekly numbers!

Adding another interesting thing about streaming in Japan:
Alright, my bad, checked which services Oricon counts and Spotify is still not included.
But they added youtube streams of songs (the official audio uploads I assume they mean, PVs and lyric videos are counted with their youtube chart).
They've updated the chart December 2020 and I thought they added Spotify, lol.

And she just posted this on Instagram without further explanation or caption:

She was in the recording studio the last two days, so are we getting a new song?

Here's the other one she posted a week ago from a shooting.

Oh, I always wondered why artists put up videos of just the full audio to their songs on YT, now I know!

Not bad sales!
She have been shooting a lot lately, and now recording... hope the queen of summer delivers this year.

Ranking today:

DVD #13
BR out of top 10

Still #13 despite the new releases!

And Kuu is in the studio again.
She shared in her stories that she has a lot of songs on her work computer.
Which probably means we get a new album!
She really never gonna stop.
Considering no new album was originally planned for last year, but only a best with 2-3 new songs, they probably follow their rough early schedule they always have again now.
I do think it's better to not have released another best.

The official account of the Nail Up! magazine just revealed this pic and the info that Kuu is going to be featured in Vol. 100!

It's one of the outfits from above.
So that was a magazine shooting.

Hey guys, any sign of the Music videos? I would love to see Dreaming now!

@Ayu_Love I used Topaz Video Enhance AI. It works better with videos that were shot in HD to begin with.

Gackt also had one video with キャイ〜ンのティア and Kumi in his channel. They do a lovely version of Ai no Uta, they all sound very good together! Now I want a Gackt and Kumi collaboration.



Also, here it is Dreaming Now PV and Lucky Star Tour version

Thank you so much!

I love the nail up pictures except for that horrid background, what an unflattering color that is. Hope they used another one for the other looks.
