But it's always just the first disc on all streaming and download sites, also the Japanese. Disc 2 and 3 are probably supposed to be physical only. That's also why it's only called Driving Hit's 9 there and only the physical edition is a special edition. :P |
Entered for the JAPONESQUE show in Fukuoka on Oct 2nd! Crossing all my fingers and toes...
|
Kinda reconsidering my September 21/22 ballot to avoid typhoon season... Any advice guys? :laugh
|
Quote:
|
LOL Fair enough, though I might just change my ballot to the Osaka dates.
|
For some reason I think the Fukuoka dates for re(LIVE) might be the easiest to get as compared to the other prefectures
Except if you live in Fukuoka , you have to take a domestic flight within Japan if you live in Tokyo so you have to make the extra effort to do so Kanagawa probably might be the hardest to get as from Tokyo , you just need to take a train to Yokohama Station which's about under an hour or so give or take |
Yeah I’m hoping the fact that we went for a midweek Fukuoka show will give us the best chance. (It’s also the only show while we’re in Japan, so there’s that lol)
Also, Kawasaki is only like 9-12 minutes by train from Shinagawa lol, it may as well be in Tokyo proper |
Welp, just cancelled my Kanagawa ballot for the first weekend in Osaka. Hope I do win tickets for at least one of the days. Haven't been to Osaka as well!
|
re(LIVE) dates for Kanagawa are all on the weekends except for 16th Sept which's a Mon but a public holiday in Japan
So yeah tickets for Kanagawa no doubt I feel will be the hardest to get hold of For re(LIVE) concert dates that will take place on weekdays , it might be a bit easier to get tickets as compared to weekends but you never know how high the demand is for the 1st round of fanclub ticket balloting |
Thanks for translating the message, Corvina.

Now that the tickets lottery is opened to the Global FC does that mean that Japanese FC Members already got their lottery results and these are the tickets leftovers or everyone will get the results together mid-June? |
Fanclub ticket balloting for re(LIVE) was only opened yesterday
According to https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1072723 , fanclub balloting results will be announced on 11th June ; 3pm Japan time 11th - 15th June is the payment period fanclub members have to abide to Fanclub ticket balloting began yesterday on 27th May til 3rd June Those who're not in the fanclub had to join by 21st May in order to enter the ticket balloting |

They've updated it at the same time, probably cause the message is categorized as news and not as a blog entry. :) Quote:
There were also a TON of fans asking for another Aishou performance - because of the sheer amount of people asking I'd be surprised if she's not going to perform it. |
I applied for the 12th in Osaka with two double tickets. What are the special goods they talk about? is it the special-picture-ticket?

Kuu posted another video from recording.
This time with sound! But only her voice, no music. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByAetojgN7k/ https://twitter.com/KODAKUMINET/stat...63055960547328 From those lyrics alone it sounds like a song like Cupcake or HOT HOT. She also posted a video on her Insta stories how she is singing "K's" for the chorus of the song. Probably background vocals. :laugh In the post she says that this is one of the songs she wants to make a MV for. |
were Color The Cover and Beach Mix always available on Spotify? I don't remember. if not, they're there now.
|
It's been a time. When her discography was uploaded they were not included, but they were a couple of months ago, praise the Lord. Now I just need 1000 no kotoba to be uploaded :(
|
^as you mentioned it - why isn't grow into one complete and why is feel my mind missing?

I honestly have no clues why :( It's even stranger to me cause real Emotion is there, so it doesn't look like a copyright issue with Square Enix to me...

Has Shake Hip gone viral in some way? I'm looking at her youtube views and it's so weird that the video is about to hit 1kk views....
Even some songs that I don't think were that popular are with very high number views. SHAKE IT 3.60kk JUICY 2.3kk Promise 1.4kk and so on. |
So, does it seem likely we will get KK17 this year? Or are we looking at getting a new album in 2020?
I sure wish she'd go back to releasing singles again too. |
Quote:
Shake Hip! is also one of the rare full version uploads. Let's take a look at her youtube stats for official uploads in general. 01. Megumi no Hito (1 chorus version) 9 million 02. you (short version) 5.68 million 03. Butterfly (short version) 5.18 million 04. Cutie Honey (short version) 5.15 million 05.

No Regret (short version) 1.43 million Quite a lot of videos coming with about 1 million views (like WIND, Ai wo tomenaide, Yume no Uta, Lick me, Dreaming Now!, Physical thing, Cherry Girl, BUT...) after that. For her newer songs: LIT (full version) 1.2 million HUSH (full version) 725.432 PARTY (short version) 737.788 Haircut (short version) 514.215 The DNA Tour spot/CM is at 326.259 views, which is pretty good for a tour, too. For comparison - the TRICK Tour spot from 2009 is around 600k views, the WOML Tour spot from 2015 at around 180k, for The Artist at 90k, BSC Tour from 2016 at around 100k and so on. avex is uploading full versions of older videos on youtube premium now, so the short version tactic probably won't change in the future. Interesting to note, that avex created its official youtube account only in 2008 and Kuu got her official youtube account only in 2010 - ayu e.g. was faster with 2005. |
A new month has started and a new video is up on playroom and the global FC.
Kuu is sharing some more info about the re(live) Tour there! The hall in Kawasaki is the very first hall Kuu played in. Rehearsals are starting July 7 and are going to take about 2 months, set and other things are finished already - it's a new challenge for her and she thinks that's necessary for her to grow further. |
I love her mindset.
|
Whenever a new tour comes along, she always sets out to better herself and tries to outdo the previous tour. I really love that about her, which is why her lives are always so enjoyable. They may be quite derivative at times, but at least they're new and she's willing to try them out. Queen of live!
|
Kuu shared in her stories yesterday, that she is going to be featured in the TV programme はじめて東京に行ってみたら for 06/04.
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/ChKIry.png Or better it's about a big 29 year old fan of her and her 5 person family, who'd love to meet her. They're the first time in Tokyo and searching for other big Kuu fans through social media for it. And maybe there's a miracle going to happen? Here's the official site of the show with info about the episode: https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/broad_tvt...906041900.html |
Kuu is recording live music today, strings!
And she didn't mute the video, so you can hear the melody! Sounds not like a typical ballad, but more like a happy midtempo tune. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/RdqF1c.png https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/KaEPej.png https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/N0NmGB.png (and she tried a dark silver colour for her hair) Ripped it: |

Also thank you for explaining the ticket balloting to me, I've only just seen the post! I'm still a little bit confused, though. Does balloting on her FC go live first so that fans get first dibs on tickets or something? If you don't win a ticket, can't you buy a ticket from Viagogo or something? That's where I was looking since I'm not part of the global FC. I also wanted to ask if anyone knows where to buy previous tour goods? I really wanted to buy the W Face tour demin jacket from Yesasia, but I just looked and it's not on there anymore. :C I imagine they wouldn't be available anymore since it was so long ago. It was my fault for not buying it sooner. |
Quote:
In Japan , it's done based on a balloting system which's like a lottery so doesn't mean if you ballot early your ticket balloting will be successful Likewise if you ballot late , you still might win the ticket balloting It really depends on your luck and doesn't mean you have to ballot for the maximum number of tickets If you ballot a single ticket , chances of winning the ballot will be higher as the organisers have to fill in the odd seat here and there . Only thing is whether will you be in the 1st , 2nd or 3rd floor inside the hall venue As for Viagogo , I don't think you should get hold of Kuu tickets via there . You will only get tickets 2 weeks before each concert date & prior to that you will not know how good or bad your seat is If you want to get tickets via the black market , it will be online via auction sites & only in this scenario you upfront will know your seat no. disclosed by the seller although sometimes that will not be made known Quote:

The variety show with Kuu aired today ( and she watched it while being in the studio again - for summer songs?!?):
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/SLtABX.png https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/z36ynX.png https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/fEd4uF.png snippets of it on social media: https://www.instagram.com/p/BySYZplH...d=1etjy8dxxbfg https://www.instagram.com/p/BySb687H...=1aqsaqpm396pa https://www.instagram.com/p/ByScurrn...=1dfk58s6pjml4 https://www.instagram.com/p/BySZuP-H...d=26i3ztvuvges https://www.instagram.com/p/BySdTr0n...d=97tse2kjlhss So the fan went with her family to Tokyo to search for places Kuu visited as well. Kuu actually didn't know about it - her manager planned it meeting them there! Kuu invites the family to drink with her then. It's so cute how the 3 sons are so happy about it, too and one even starts to cry when Kuu is sitting with them together and signing CDs. Hope somebody uploads it in full somewhere. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/TmXrXl.png @Ayu_Love So you saw my summary post? Still some questions? FC lotteries always come first, general sale always last. First FC round is already over though. |
Kuu just made a post about today and casually dropped some info again.
It was a very tiring recording today. Yukiko Tanaka, her former background singer for past tours, joined her - she's not only her English teacher now, but she's also looking after the background vocals for the tour. So I assume she's back for re(live)! Kuu also shared her day schedule again: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/j62nYv.png Lyrics validation Meeting for tour goods Recording Break Composition meeting Fixing make-up (and in between she watched the show) My guess is that the composition meeting and maybe also checking the new lyrics was with Yukiko. Maybe writing Kuu on her Insta in Japanese that she needs to work on her English lyrics helped. :P https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/Q4s8Bp.png https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/ov5NsX.png https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/RB0vhV.png |
^ I did Corvina, thank you! From what I understand:
- you apply for tickets, you don't know where you'll be sat. - FC always go first, you can apply for tickets from the Global FC. - One you've been allocated a ticket, you must pay for it. - You won't know where you're seated until you get your ticket. Did I get that right? XD Exciting to hear that Kuu is learning English, I'd love it if she made some English songs like Namie did. |
Ayu_Love, you got it! :cool
Yukiko Tanaka basically just confirmed that she's back as background singer: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...924/0MTYTy.png |
^im happy yukiko is back, I love how they sound together. It makes sense she would though hence yukiko was present in both black cherry and japonesque.
|
This TV show was so cute!!! It reminded me of myself when I, by chance, met Kuu in the street lol
|
I love the snippet of the new song with the strings, sounds amazing. We should get the announcement of whatever is coming prior to her a-nation performance, so she can promote the new songs there.

^ YAS @ Jounetsu!
Also, thank you to Corvina and Karen once again for patiently answering our (repeated) questions about getting tickets for the tour! |

And then he starts to loose and hide it. Kuu goes over to him to hug him and ask what's wrong and he cried cause he always liked Kuu and now was able to meet her -he says he's just happy. Him crying makes Kuu tearing up, too. :laugh When Kuu invites the family to drink with her the boys are actually the ones asking if she could sign stuff - they all have shopping bags, so I assume they've bought some Kuu CDs before. :) At the end you can also see that Kuu gave the re(live) promo she was carrying with her to the boy who cried as a present. The show calls this whole part "the family who loves Koda Kumi" and the family seemed to have been asked about what they want to do if they really meet Kuu somewhere before, cause the show is like ticking the box with everything they do with Kuu. :laugh ______________________________ Guys, what do you think the release she's preparing is going to be, well, announced or released? ALfromHELLSING thinks about an announcement before a-nation in July. I actually thought the whole time we might get that album or a combi release with new songs in December with her 20 anniversary starting and she's just recording now the whole time cause with rehearsals starting in July she won't have any time anymore till November till the tour is over. But now that she said something about summer songs and studio I'm not sure anymore, haha. Maybe a summer single before in August? Or maybe she's all planning and preparing for next year already with this and we won't get anything except tours and concerts this year. :laugh Edit: She's recording again today and says slowly she gets tired of recording. Before she had vocal lessons. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/V2Abrc.png |
I think we will get a summer single before a-Nation this year.
Maybe even a maxi single after many years. And maybe on december 06th we will get the fourth BEST in combination with a new original Album. Anyway I am so excited everytime she Posts about recording again <3 |
I guess we just got the answer for one of the new songs!
There's the Rugby World Cup in Japan this Autumn and now 100 days before it starts there will be a commemorating event at Tennoji Park in Osaka. Kuu will be performing at this event and the support song (the Hanazono song) Kuu wrote especially for this will be presented for the first time! Hanazono (which means flower garden) is the name of the the rugby stadium in Osaka. Osaka is one of the host cities for the world cup. At this event they will also present the world cup trophy and have a talk event with rugby players, the mayor of Osaka and the govenor of Osaka prefecture. The Rugby World Cup is the third biggest sports even worldwide, together with the Olymipc Games and the FIFA Soccer World Cup. The 2019 Japan tournament is the first world cup in Asia and also the first world cup outside a country where rugby is not a tradition. It also is commemorable as the first tournament since the seven-player rugby became an Olympic sport. Event will take place 06/15, entrance is free, but you have to apply beforehand. FC members have the first chance to get their hands on tickets for the priority area, lottery runs from 06/05 -06/09. https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1073498 They're using the re(live) promopics for the event on her official site, so maybe that's a hint she's perfroming the song on tour, too? :mischief |
That's great news!! Someone has got an eye on next year's Olympics theme song lol
|
haha actually my family and I are goiung to japan for the Rugby World Cup lol
|
Who are the black back up singers that Kuu uses sometimes? I've seen a few over the years on tour with her, but I've never thought about them until her Japanese one was mentioned. I think I've seen at least one female and one male, but my memory is crap now that I'm an old lady.
|
It would be good a mid summer release, around end of july. A double a-side would be enough, I don't see her releasing a maxi single near in the future.
As for the album, I think it will be announce around the end of the years and the release date might be around the beginning of the 20th anniversary celebration. I'm guessing it's going to be a BEST + original album combo again, but maybe a "all singles" kind of album (3CDs) and another one for the original songs. I'm excited about the new song. If it is half as good as Dreaming Now, which was for Volleyball World Grand Champions Cup, I'll be happy. |
Kuu's day yesterday:
https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...922/gxl1Wb.png Vocal lessons Transport & meal Checking mails and pictures Recording Sound validation Checking the new Koda Gumi FC magazine Quote:
Went through my DVDs, cause I only remembered three. Best ~First things~ - Momoko, Yukari Black Cherry Tour- Yukiko Tanaka, Daniel Morgan Kingdom Tour - Yukiko Tanaka UNIVERSE Tour - Yukiko Tanaka, David King and Brenda Vaughn Eternity ~Love & Songs ~ - Yukiko Tanaka, David King and Brenda Vaughn Premium Night ~Love & Songs ~ - Yukiko Tanaka, Argie Martin-Phine Dream Music Park - Yukiko Tanaka, David King and Brenda Vaughn JAPONESQUE Tour - Yukiko Tanaka, TIGER The Artist - Yukiko Tanaka, David King |
About the TV show, don't know if it was said here but the ide behind it was that this family that loves Kuu would "chase" her around Tokyo going to the places she would post on Instagram. And then they finally met her "by accident" but it was actually a scheme between Kuu's manager and the TV show. So neither Kuu or the family knew about, that why both get very surprised and Kuu is asking: "what's this?" haha And yeah, as Corvina said, the family did a list of things they wanted to do if they met Kuuchan and one of them was to sing Ai no Uta with her. So funny when the mother asks kuu to sing with her and Kuu pretends she don't remember which song is Ai no Uta lol
|
Quote:
Thank you Corvina and Karen for answering my ticket questions! It's helped me a lot. |
^I bet Japan remixes a song from Namie lol
|
If Kuu is given a chance to perform or be involved in next year's Olympics opening and/or closing ceremony it no doubt will increase her platform presence on a global setting
But I guess it depends on the Tokyo Organising Committee . Already some early details for next year's Paralympic Games navigators coverage have been announced but it's only via NHK at the moment I don't know for the other TV networks in Japan though |
To be really honest I think it's more likely Namie getting back for the Olympics than Kuu being there :laugh But I'd looove it if it happened of course hahahaha
|
I don't see it happening at all lol. It would be awesome, but I guess it's probably gonna be someone who pushes the "kawaii" or "edgy electronic" agenda, like Kyary or Perfume, for the opening and maybe a comeback type of thing for the ending ceremony, like the Spice Girls reunion that happened.
|
I think there's 0% chances of Kuu performing in the Olympics. The names I've heard from what people are expecting here are Perfume and Sheena Ringo. Some people even say Utada as a possible performer but definitely not Kuu.
The average public don't really knows much about Kuu here. They don't know about all her amazing lives and her constantly feel for creating new stuff, they only know her as that ero-kakkoii figure. Nowadays people don't really remember/know anything about her besides "Cutie Honey". And that's why, imo, it's impossible to have her in the Opening. |
I'd find it very strange if Sheena Ringo would be performing or doing a song, cause the woman is part of the committee making the decision. Would leave a bad taste.
I've already talked about it in the Asian Music thread and also shared an interview with Ringo there. There she talked about the idea not to rely on big acts, but showing the diversity of Japan from different prefectures with different acts. But this was some time ago and it was just an idea they had for the Games. If they take big acts idols like Perfume and boybands/girlbands are the most likely decisions. Or maybe a male act like Gen Hoshino (Kenshi Yonezu can't because of his autism). ------------------- Kuu news! There's a HMV opening in Okinawa and Kuu will be part of the talk show event! They invite 30 Koda Gumi members to go with her. Lottery is running now. Quote:

Before SMAP unfortunately disbanded , quite a lot including myself thought they might be involved in next year's Olympics in some capacity but alas no
Right now Johnnys wise , ARASHI & TOKIO are already earmarked to be involved in the Oympics Solo wise , I think YOSHIKI might be chosen as he has great stage presence & X JAPAN has been around for a really long time |
Yeah, I have to agree unfortunately. My comment was more of a pipe dream, lol.
They're probably going to choose some weird obscure acts no one has heard of or western people will just think is odd. But here's hoping. |

What's boring to you might be not boring to others & vice versa
Akimoto Yasushi sits in the Olympics committee as well so you can be sure AKB48 will also be involved in next year's Olympics to some extent I don't listen to AKB48 & also its numerous sister groups . Don't I want them not to perform in next year's Olympics ? Yeah but it's what it's |
^AKB is fun tho..these boybands on the other hand...
|
Like I said it depends on personal preference . I've been in the Johnnys fandom for more than a decade and I like that each group I support has relative stable structure
Whenever a member leaves a Johnny group due to wide variety of different reasons , J&A don't capitalise that for financial gain and make it a graduation ceremony which led to it being sold on video , unlike what goes on for AKB48 + their numerous sister groups Likewise even the number of releases each Johnny group put out , at least they have limits . I'm sure ARASHI could have put out 5 if not 20 different versions of their upcoming 5x20 All the BEST!! 1999-2019 but they capped it at 3 And for the record , my sister used to like AKB48 earlier works but once the most prominent members started to leave 1 by 1 , she stopped supporting them as she found it hard to keep up on who's who still left in the group Anyway I should leave it as it's cos this should not be in Kuu's thread , it should be in elsewhere Also you support AKB48 , I don't but I'm not going to sway you to listen to Johnnys by hook or by crook cos Johnnys group are not your music preference & vice versa And who knows perhaps next year's Opening & Closing Olympics will feature both Johnnys groups , AKB48 & LDH groups === Kuu did recording today https://twitter.com/KODAKUMINET/stat...19099338375168 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByciF0RArx9/ I like Kuu's OOTD , casual laidback but still polished |
^haha I knew you would respond to this as you biased. I'm not an AKB fan but a big chunk of their music at least is somewhat good. I tried to find a good song by SMAP, ARASHI or any other Johnny group so many times over the years but they are just straight forward bad, cringy or badly produced. Even when I watch the Top 100 charts for the year in JPOP I ask myself how this can happen.
Anyways, I prefer neither of them to perform and them choosing something that shows a different side of J-Pop. J-Pop lacks the quality and interest K-Pop can create for quite a time now. |
Not sure what songs you came across Johnnys wise . Not all the singles they released are terrible but their entire discographies ain't perfect
NEWS & Kis My Ft2 have been releasing albums on an annual basis but in return the quality of their music suffered but Kis My Ft2's latest album they released this year is quite good to me as I did not like their last 2 albums Also V6's last studio album was unexpectedly great & that goes for KinKi Kids material too but there was a period of time where their music was boring ,same thing with Arashi Johnnys fandoms are not forgiving online as some will say everything they release are all great but I'm not like that Anyway there's still time before next year's Olympics began . Perhaps the organising committee will announce some surprises eventually |
^from some of them I have the whole discographie. It's just terrible. I would always say these boybands are the worst thing J-Pop has created. But it's another topic.
I'm still waiting impatiently for the announcement of the tickets. |
Fair enough , let's agree to disagree alright ?
If not this will be never ending and it will go on forever especially since I don't agree on what you said in that the entire discography for all Johnny groups is terrible which to me , it's not true I don't know for LDH groups so I will not say Fanclub ticket balloting results for re(LIVE) will be out this coming Tue afternoon ; 3pm Japan time |
aaaaaah we’ll have the ticket results 24 hours from now...crossing all my fingers and toes!
COME THRU, FUKUOKA |
Ahhh I really hope I win something too. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
|
urgh can't wait!
|
Japanese fans have their results for an hour now.
There are fans on Instagram and Twitter searching for tickets already, lol. The playroom lottery round starts tomorrow. Lee^chan and I, we actually have a theory for years now. Accounts taking part in the lottery for the first time always win tickets - let's see if it is like that this time as well! |
Wow strange. My Livepocket profile page still says "Lottery Waiting".
Corvina if your theory is right then there's a high chance I'll win it then! :laugh |
^because you are probably a playroom member?
|
Nope, the only international fanclub is Koda Gumi. Maybe the international lottery is at another timing. Have you gotten any updates?
|
no, me neither.
|
International results are always a bit later.
3 pm was it for Japan, so maybe 3 pm in your time slot? ------------------------ New announcement! Kuu is going to perform at TV Tokyo's music festival 2019! It's a special for the 55th Anniversary of TV Tokyo this year and runs 5 hours on June 26. Theme is "Songs you wanna sing without thinking about it - the 100 strongest hit songs". As usual they also plan collaborations for the show. News on official site: https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1073676 Offici event site: https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/ongakusai_2019/ First wave of performers announced: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...923/UaijG1.png |

^I don't know. Ever since the application-process it says mid-june and not June 11 on their website.

It is for the new song, she said on Instagram. Looking great BTW

Anyone know how the Japanese ticket lottery results went? I'm curious to see how ticket sales are going and if people got rejected.

Quote:
There are posts about not winning tickets at all, posts about applying for a bunch of dates and only winning one, but also about winning more dates than expected and trying to give some away ( cause remember, you have to take all of them). A look at the comments of her newest post gives the same impression - people being happy about winning and unhappy about not winning. I'd say it's doing well. But it is a small tour after all. To answer your question - yes, people got rejected. Just to give you some samples - went quickly through the first bunch of comments on her newest Insta post: Spoiler:

Thanks Corvina! Glad to see the tour doing well. Hope everyone here who's waiting for results wins.

I continue to be annoyed by the lack of an update. Our lottery happened over the same dates; why the fuck don’t we have our results yet?
|
I'm kinda worried too.
|
I probably am coming off like a psycho but I can’t plan the rest of my trip until I know if we got the tickets or not...I sure as hell am not wasting two days getting to/back from Fukuoka on my sister’s first trip to Japan if there’s no Kuu waiting for me there (especially when there’s a RWC match on the same day)
Gaaaaaaaaah |
^haha no why psycho. same here. My family is holding off from booking and planing.
|
I don't think there's anything to worry about.
The global Koda Gumi says results are coming mid-July. So you should have it till the end of the week. Usually global fans with tickets are seated next to each other in halls, so maybe they're doing it now after they assigned all seats to the Japanese winners. Something different - don't know if anybody noticed, but the kimono Kuu is wearing in the promo is a custom-made kimono with her current K logo as pattern. For Black Cherry she's wearing a belt buckle with the K logo. |
hey I have a random and off topic lyric question, I hope it's alright to ask here?
in "koso koso" what is she yelling before the "ooooh" part? I can't understand it acoustically and can't find this little part in any lyric online. |

Well, you can always write a comment - on Instagram for Kuu reading it herself or Twitter for her manager/team.
Already seen some single comments asking about it, when the results are coming. Kuu reading all the nice comments on her way back today: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/BLgAPQ.png She's thanking everybody for always commenting. And the fitting for Satuday already looks really sexy! :heart https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/DmJUUV.png |
urgh, it#s annoying because I really need to plan my trip - but there is nothing we can do.
I'm already thinking I won't get any tickets anyways. Looking forward to new music tho. She looks hot. |
Kuu wants to dance with everybody together on Saturday, so she made a small video with her male dancers.
Going to be uploaded tomorrow. https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/8...921/DyCThS.png Today was the last day of rehearsals. |
She's been recording for so long unless it's a new single project it has to be an album. Although, it doesn't make much sense to release one now since she's using re(LIVE) pictures as promo pics everywhere and tour won't have new album name. Unless it's going to be part of the tour the way Color the Cover was part of JAPONESQUE tour.
I also hope we won't have to wait 3 years for the studio versions of the new songs like we did with Bring It On. Quote:
