Kuu got some coverage with avex releasing material for her birthday live in newspapers as well, not only at online sites.
Interesting thing is, that those are all sports newspapers.
I guess she has a good stand with sports media and fans because of her engagement with Sagan Tosu, baseball and female wrestling.
Especially the last one is interesting.
The headline says " Megumi no Hito big streaming hit on Tik Tok - Koda Kumi gets popular again with 36".
And in the article it says that the rate of young fans, teens and tweens, at her lives increased, next to the old fans around 40 (in their 30s and 40s), especially women.
Great to hear confirmation about her gaining young fans.
I do wonder why avex keeps the more impressive performances of the tour under wraps. We only got footage of Dangerous, some ballads and end/encore songs. HAIRCUT, ScREaM and Outta My Head e.g. would show better why this tour is something to look forward to. Or also HOT HOT with the fans.
I suppose the thought is that they want to increase the interest for the DVD release by limiting those performances to the DVD (and maybe a TV broadcast).
But imo it would help more gathering interest if they showed snippets of those, so people will know what to expect. I mean, they did it in the past. Oh avex.
