She's probably saving the bigger summer single for her 15th anniv :P

btw last night I dreamt this single was a special single called "Color The Single", a 3 a-sided single with all tracks being covers, and included a cover of ayu's SEASONS :laugh Kinda weird, but still I think it was somewhat cool

Yeah, I prefer she saves all the budget for a kickass 15th anniversary!:D
I'm fine with just two/three songs, since I still have Bon Voyage to shake my ass with this summer, lol.

Kuu is doing quite a lot promo in Taiwan.
Apart from the press conference, she was on the MTV show "Idols of Asia", which will air next wednesday, and tonight on a radio show from HIT FM Taiwan.
And on another show called "Show Biz", which will be aired on Friday.

Some pics:



Also, Sankyo confirmed, that there will be a new Pachinko machine with Kuu!
It's the 4th in line and has the name "CR FEVER Koda Kumi Ⅳ FX".

I LOVE HER OUTFITS!!

That's the point. I'm pretty sure this next summer single IS for her 15th anni. They wouldn't be teasing a new project since March if it wasn't with the next release lol

YAY a new pachinko! Can't wait to see more gorgeous photos...

Kuu is smart to promote herself in Taiwan. Her Japanese market is getting smaller, and she has an "in" in Taiwan, her husband. I'm sure the people of Taiwan like that.

She looks adorable in the first pics, but those high braids are SCARY, lol.

Did you guys notice the single is set to the 6th day of August, and her debut was on the 6th of December? I wonder if she'll do something like ayu did, preparing a series of "countdown" releases all in the same date monthly...

I really hope not. It ended up a disaster for Ayu so I hope Kuu doesn't do it.

Well, generally speaking, I think Kuu's people do a better job pulling stuff like that off. If she did a countdown thing it could be like her 12 Singles Project.

Her 15th anniversary is next year what are you guys talking about? lol
I know she has already teased but I don't think this new single is part of something
She started and finished her 10th anniversary celebrations or whatever during her actual debut year (third universe, dream music park, brazil, eternity, billboard live, fantasia)
I actually believe she will release 3 more singles so her 60th will begin her 15th anniversary project =P
Who knows maybe another studio album even

Well, by the "project" I got the idea of something that will lead to the actual 15th, just like ayu's releases were NOT made during her actual 15th, but ended up in her 15th :P And I also agree with the idea of a 60th single during her 15th :yes

I don't mind if she did a countdown thing to her 15th Anniversary. Kuu does those kind of things so much better than others. It's because she makes it actually feel different and exciting which is what anniversaries should be♥

I agree, after what Ayu's staff managed to do with those five releases, I don't know if I'm hoping for something similar for Kuu.
But I think Kuu can pull it off better, too. Mhhhh...

I see your point, but still kinda seems a little early to me unless she's planning something like 12 releases in 12 months (I wouldn't doubt that actually :ytongue)
And Kuu's 10th anniversary project wasn't set in motion during her actual debut either but did start on that year so that's why it seems a little early for her to release something tied to it right now. It would make more sense to me if she started it early next year like she did with third universe
Hopefully she's planning something special, the anxiety is killing me lol

she looks fabulous on this picture. give me that summer single kuuchie

15 singles for her 15th anniversary. :laugh

is there any news about which day Kuu will perform on a-nation? I wasn't able to find any...
I hope it's the last day like Ayu and SJ-Donghae & Eunhyuk, because that's the day I'm planning on going.

^ She's not going to be on a-nation this year, so far.

You guys... It's Koda Kumi we're talking about. haha
She loves to use any date/anniversary/whatever to do something special.... Or you guys already forgot about her 7th Anniversary? With the Special Final at Tokyo Dome with the tickets being 7,777 yen.
