Thanks for creating a new Kuu thread , Gustavopc !
Finally , avex Taiwan will release Koda Kumi 15th Anniversary Live Tour 2015～WALK OF MY LIFE～ DVD on the last day of 2015 http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=436495679119 I like the play of Kuu's name in the Chinese title of WOML , let alone avex Taiwan kept the 1st press aspect of the DVD intact too |
1600x1200 version of the Merry Christmas pic:
Spoiler:
She looks so thin, I wonder if they streched the pic lol |
^ Was wondering the same thing. She looks unusually long too. Not tall, but long :laugh
|
Idk about that but this is some of the most amateur use of Photoshops glow effect I have ever seen.
|
^ The edition in terrible indeed. It's like they started removing the background around the finger and "nope, too much trouble" and decided to leave the rest with a white border and put a random glow around :laugh
Though, judging by the hair, they had already removed the background from the picture, so I just don't get what they were trying to do lol Thank you for the new thread Gustavo! |
Everything on jpopsuki is freelech now, so go ahead!

Found these old photos that I took exactly 3 years ago
http://i67.tinypic.com/2r7y8lt.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/ncf8ll.jpg I remembered seeing the Koishikute promo truck parked outside of Yoyogi which was a rare sight as it was the 1st time I saw something like this and for once , the promo truck wasn't zipping around Shibuya which I normally see online But what memories & I still feel that Koishikute is quite under rated :3 |
SETLIST FOR DANCE NATION
1. HOTEL 2. Cupcake 3. TOUCH DOWN MC 4. LOADED |
TOUCH DOWN is the Remix Version from the Artist live.
Fan photos: http://i64.tinypic.com/qx2jrm.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/14y39km.jpg Small fancam video from HOTEL: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/f...eId=0_06_02_99 a-nation island premium live spot: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/p...eId=0_06_02_99 All info from kinot on Baidu |
thxx:D
|
The outfit looks hot! and lol at this gurl finally performing HOTEL on lives one year and a half after it came out :roflmao
I wonder if Cupcake is gonna get released soon in 2016, for her to have sung it twice already |
^ I hope so too because I don't want it to end up like Bring it on which is just a song performed on concerts..
|
The fancam is in such a great quality, that it should be the full thing like that.
And I can't at how they cut Sean Paul's name on a-nation premium live just showing the audience. haha Do you guys know if DANCE NATION is going to be broadcasted? |
She sings Hotel sound like audio version, great!!!
|
|
@kaled I'm almost sure it will, I remember seeing it being posted somewhere/when, but do not recall when is the broadcast
@Karen omg the poster is pretty! :heart |
This is the official promo poster for the tour next year.
Btw. Kuu also mentioned in her last Line entry, that the she can do lota of nostalgic and missed songs at this tour. |
Quote:
|
The poster is nice!
Ever since Bring it own I get worried with those songs she performs live without any information about when they might be released... #PrayForCupcake lol |
will there be new songs on her winter collection ?
|
^ Yup, first and last tracks of the disc, On And On and NO ME WITHOUT YOU
|
Considering Kuu will be doing an extensive long tour in 2016 , I will be surprised if she will be able to put out new releases in between
Also has she been performing Bring it on for a few years now ? It's strange that she hasn't put out a studio version of the song , I wonder why Then again other artistes I know also performed songs during their concerts but some took almost 4-5 years before they finally included the songs in their single and/or album |
^ Yeah, performing a song live before its release is not uncommon, especially for bands, but for Kuu it's pretty uncommon. I can only think of songs that were right next to be released, TRICK (which never got a performance again or a studio ver at all), BRING IT ON and now Cupcake. But I myself think this one will be released in the first half of 2016, I guess she has recorded some songs prior to the tour to keep on releasing stuff during the year. At least that's what I hope to be the case :laugh

Namie also puts out a single during every tour. Its not that unheard of. And she just performed Cupcake twice. its obious it does not fit on WoL, so calm down.
As for BRING IT ON - it obiously did not fit the style of her last two albums and there may be issues with the song owners (which should be BACK-ON!). Maybe she is just waiting for a release that will fit that song. Its not like BIO is such an awsome song that i can't live without. |
^ I think copyrights issue about BIO are done cause if a song is included on a DVD and put to sale, you should own the rights to it already. When alan performed My Heart Will,Go On at a concert, for example, it didn't make to the DVD release and I think that's why. I also think she's waiting to include it later on a release that fits better with it.
|
I personally like Bring it on and would love to have a studio version.
But the way things are it seems like she just doesn't want to release one. Digital would be fine for me too tbh. |
Like...is she saving BRING IT ON as a bonus track for her next best album? idgi. It's been so long since she started performing it and it's downright weird that it's still unreleased.
|
I remember someone saying Kuu had mentioned Bring it on would be live exclusive and wouldn't be released... But I don't remember where it was said Kuu mentioned it, probably an MC.
|
One release we are definitely getting next year: her summer release. Even when she was pregnant, she released something.
About BRING IT ON, I can see the song being released during the summer. It has that rockish style of her usual poprock summer track. Maybe she's trying to make people know BRING IT ON better, and then release the studio version, so people sure knows that the song is good. It Cupcake is how people are describing, I can also see this as a summer release. |
Quote:
|
She performed BRING IT ON the first time at Tokyo Girls Award Autumn/Winter 2013. Still remember it very well as we did get a really crappy fancam of it. It sounded much more electro driven in it.
Btw. it isn't a BACK-ON song. There is a short demo from them, but it's not theirs. One fan ( I guess it was maze) asked Kenji about it on social media and he answered it isn't. And even if they wrote it, they've also could have given it to Kuu. Poppin' love cocktail was written by them as well. Also never heard Kuu saying BIO would stay live exclusive And I seriously can't imagine Kuu releasing nothing next year. This would be strange. But with this tour theme, no new album next year and the covered up summer single this year - I really don't know, what to expect. I just know I want studio versions of both songs! |
^ I dont know about maze asking Kenji, but I did ask Teeda on twitter and he said it wasn't theirs :laugh And last time this live-only issue came up I think it was drdolce who stated it? Sorry if I'm mistaken
And I remember that fancam, I thought the song was much more electro-driven also, but maybe it was the low quality that hid the rock instruments? |
The poster *_*
I think she's gonna release a new best album with THE ARTIST in DVD |
@Gustavopc
Haha, sorry, it was you and TEEDA then! Just remembered it was someone from here. :laugh It was either the low quality of the fancam or they changed it a bit later. Without a proper studio version we won't know officially, how it should sound like. |
She could've done like UNIVERSE. Best album and an original album.
|
I thought the rumor about BRING IT ON being live-only came from a mistranslated blurb from one of the FC magazines where it listed it as unreleased but someone interpreted it as "never to be released"...?

Kuu will be doing an α-STATION＆KODA KUMI W ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EVENT ! 『WINTER of LOVE in Kyoto Station Building』on 19th Jan 2016
【EVENT DATE】2016年1月19日（火）17:30-START 【PLACE】京都駅ビル駅前広場 【TALK SPECIAL GUEST】Koda Kumi 【MC】 森 夏子 http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1030563 It will take place the day before WINTER of LOVE gets released |
Quote:
she looked great in the DANCE NATION performance, I hope we get to hear Cupcake sometime soon |
On And On PV will be uploaded tomorrow Japan noon time
Quote:
For now it has been uploaded on playroom |
^It's in LINE too
Kuu is gorgeous *_* http://i.imgur.com/D0ap9rf.png http://i.imgur.com/SEzeh7I.png http://i.imgur.com/K0akKlN.png http://i.imgur.com/a3HlRj0.png http://i.imgur.com/tOVptdw.png |
Is this promotion? Is this just fantasy?
I thought avex had actually forgot HOW you promote new releases. Well for Kuu they remembered. |
Same message on LINE - together with the 30 sec On And On MV preview (Smartphone Version). Looks like it's the end of the MV.
I really like the random shots of the city and other stuff in between. |
^The scene with the shoes *_*
|
I have a question. I added her LINE but I cant seem to see any videos?
|
Videos are shown just like pics directly in the LINE chat.
Do you have a good internet connection? If there isn't, there can be blank spaces instead of videos and pics. And if you've added her after the message from today, you won't see anything. You gonna see the first message she does after you joined. |
Kuu looks pretty but I can't help but think of xoxo.
|
^xoxo was slutty trash, this isn't
I'm not liking what I'm seeing so far but still cant wait for the whole thing (dvd version). also I noticed Kiseki and hands fit perfectly after On And On, R&B Kuu :heart |
On and On PV is love judging by the preview. It's lovely. It makes me think of Koishikute's train station scenes. :D
XOXO PV is definitely one of my least fav Ayu PVs. I do like the song but to me Ayu in that PV is unbearable to watch lol. |
On And On (for mobile) - short ver. -
Even though a smartphone was used to shoot the On And On PV , it still turned out quite well and Kuu looks really pretty I just wonder the version that will be included in the WINTER of LOVE DVD/Blu-ray , will it be the same version as the above version or a different 1 ? I'm intrigued |
The idea of using a cell phone to shoot the video and having it vertical is pretty cool, really "now". But I didn't really like how it only was her holding the phone, the whole video.
Sure that's one could expect but Namie also used the cell phone/tablet thing and made something interesting with it; Epil High also had a vertical video that played on that phone/tablet thing and they used it in a different but still interesting way. Anyway, she looked great! I'd use that video as a fashion reference :laugh I really like the song as well :) |
Quote:
I really like the video, especially the parts of "video call" but the scenes with she stand with the phone not much |
Quote:
Pretty sure the normal one will be on the album. The short mobile version is interestingly cropped. I wonder if and how they will release the full one? The second verse of the song is missing in the short MV. |
The DVD version will be different. They said the PV has two versions.
She looks sooooo pretty! Her fashion for this video is amazing indeed. |
it says "FOR mobile" short version, pretty sure the one included in the dvd will be the same as this, just in the normal TV size
I really love the song but the PV not so much, she looks tired |
I honestly wanted a better PV, I hope the second version is better, because I really adore the song
|
Quote:
+ for people wondering how she'll release an album in the middle of the tour: she won't promote on TV anyways so why not? She'll finish recording and shooting before the tour and then it cn just get released |

Skipping through the newest FC magazine. Random info, but the pale blond hair for Summer of Love isn't a wig, it's her real hair (with extensions)! They shot SoL in May in between the tour dates and they washed out her pastel hair colour for the shooting. She went back to it after that. They also shot Happie Nuts around the same time, that's why she has the same pale blond hair there. And don't know if anybody noticed, but she changed the pastel hair from pastel blue/pink to pastel purple/pink for the two final dates of the tour. I didn't pay attention! :laugh |

The idea of having a "for mobile" vertical video is really cool, and she looked great but....the song is awful! Such a wasted opportunity in my opinion.
|
|
I seem to release an original album in the middle of a tour of the best singles does not make sense.
It seems that Kumi is taking the path of Ayu as to stop throwing singles at the moment and we may see a new album without singles as ayu and namie made. |
Quote:
Anyways I hope she'll release something during the tour. Even if it's just a single (with cupcake on it I wanna hear that song) |
I took the first preview and the video short version and TA-DA! full song is out:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_...TJYWUllZk5kaGM -- @Corvina: I can't imagine how this girl is not bald already, with so much things she did this whole year with her hair. haha |
I like On And on
has been a while since I like Koda's song |
Ah, I totally love the mobile version of the "On And On" PV, so far! :heart Not only do I love the song (and how gooorgeous Kumi looks! :luv2) but I think the part I may love most about the PV...are Kumi's clothes. :heart Her fashion is so totally on point! But hey, what else is new? :P I can't wait to watch the regular PV! :)
|
The winter of love finally began here where I live with freezing rain and slush.
|
@kaled:
Yeah, it was clear she wouldn't stay too long with pastel hair, cause of the necessary bleaching process before. From black to blonde is even the worst.:dead2 And thank you for the song! There's apparently a CD rip(!) of On And On out on Baidu, but as usual recently I can't read the password, rofl. |
Marika can you post the baidu link so that I can have a look and hopefully I can decode it
If not I will ask my Mandarin speaking friends for help as I'm not good at reading traditional mandarin words unlike my friends |
Of course! :)
It's here in the thread for the short version of the PV: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4239169972?lp=5028&mo_device=1&is_jingpost=1 |
As expected my friend eventually helped me cos I don't have a Weibo account & I suck at reading Mandarin Chinese
The full version of On And On is actually uploaded on Weibo & not on Baidu The download link & password that the user provided , it's for a super HQ version of the short mobile PV version of the song which's really odd Anyway , here's the full version of On And On via Weibo streaming http://video.weibo.com/show?fid=1034...635bab120449a7 I ripped/uploaded On And On from the Weibo video --> https://www.sendspace.com/file/dan1os |
Thank you so much, Karen! :heart
Even though kaled's version is better quality.^^ I love On And On. It has such a warm atmosphere and is easy to listen to. Her voice is amazing. |
No worries Marika . Actually I can rip the Weibo video a more higher quality if you want , it's just that for me mp3 / 128kpbs is fine although some must have everything 320kpbs
Song wise , On And On is ok even though it gets repetitive after a while |
Thank you kaled! it's an amazing song, although I loved so much the little bit acapella part from the short ver PV
|
The new song is nice. Its kinda smooth, good for the weather outside. Is this the only new song from Winter of Love?
|
^ There is one more song NO ME WITHOUT YOU, and it's more like a power ballada with a piano instrumental.
|
From Koda Gumi
https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...35&oe=570A323F https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...b8c3ecc2aef3bf Happy new year, guys :heart |
Happy new year guys!
Idk if it's just me but for some reason I really get the feeling that Kuu will promote On and On on TV at least once. |
Does [is this TRAP?] have a PV? If so, could anyone share it? Or tell me which release it's on?
Thanks |
^ It's from Summer Trip, it doesn't have a PV though.

Kuu's 2016 new year message
https://twitter.com/KODAKUMINET/stat...97958857424896 She's so adorable bless her :3 And happy new year everybody :D |
Happy new year! :)
On And On is chosen as promotrd song for January at FM Osaka! They wanna push good music, so they're chosing 4 songs for every month. The other three songs are Koshi Inaba with Hane, Yuzu with TOWA and Ganbare! Victory with Seishun Hero. http://www.fmosaka.net/_ct/16927086 |
a-nation Premium Live spot No. 2 (UNIVERSE):
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/RRqlPL-rxpE/ |
Kumi's stage presence and overall preformance is the best out of the three divas hands down.
|
Great performance of UNIVERSE, as usual.
I hope On And On is like a small hit, at least it has the quality to be. I can see her performing the song on Music Japan or whatever. It would be awesome if it was on Music Fair or Bokura no Ongaku, to have a special episode with 3 songs (two old songs and On and On). Or Music Station, but who knows.... |
So I woke up and thought, gosh, I want to listen to V.I.P.
I'm now having an existential crisis because it's been FOUR AND A HALF YEARS since 4 TIMES was released. D: D: D: I'm going to die. I'm going to die and I will have done nothing with my existence. D: |
Quote:
It's like she was born for the stage. |
Quote:
That performance of UNIVERSE is awesome OMGGG |
4 TIMES was such a brilliant summer single man. It's comparable to 4 hot wave (my favorite) imo. I really enjoyed Summer Trip too.
|
4 Hot Wave and 4TIMES are definitely her best summer singles out there. I love them so much. Gossip Candy is probably my fav #3. :D
|
ViVi will interview Kuu on their March 2016 issue of the magazine
It will be published on 23rd Jan http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOBK-1887782 |
My favorite summer single is still 3 SPLASH, I adore the 3 songs. I remember I highly disliked 4TIMES when it came out. I love all the songs now, but it took me some time to get into that single... I also disliked Gossip Candy and Summer Trip at first. 4 Hot Wave is brilliant and I adore FREAKY as well.
|
4 TIMES is srsly so good and it was followed by my favorite Kuu album
