[Koda Kumi] The 200th thread for 20 years in her career

[thinkingoutloud89]

^they probably knew. I have to agree on that, since the song is not on streaming services (at least in Germany). They will just leave it off from streaming services. But yeah, it's kinda strange those problems - whatever they may be - just now came to their attention, more over for something I'd call a bonus-song. There are middleman tho. And you can anyways get it for half the price later in Japan itself ;P

edit: as for oversea fans - this may sounds harsh, but I actually don't think they care. The part they sell outside of Japan probably doesn't even matter and they don't want to sell to other asian countries anways cuz they get their own versions most of the time. Heck, I don't even think her physical CDs make that much of a profit anyways.

[Corvina]

As mentioned there's surely going to be a Taiwan version.

For streaming services it's not a problem, cause then it will simply be grayed out, not being available, outside of Japan. Goldfinger 2019 is apparently not the problem as it's up on streaming sites worldwide.

If anybody wants the FC edition you can write me a PM.
I can order through the Japanese FC.
Just keep in mind it's going to be expensive.

again is now available digitally in Japan.
Avex also uploaded the full PV on their channel now!
The modelpress one just was early access.

[KarenPang]

If avex Taiwan will not make re(CORD) , then it will be Kuu's 1st studio album they will not make since feel my mind :s

affection & grow into one are so far the only 2 Kuu studio albums that avex Taiwan did not made

At most if avex Taiwan will make re(CORD) , both the audio & video of Livin' La Vida Loca will probably be excluded

This's the next best alternative option as compared to having no version made for Taiwan

So far as far I know , nobody has asked avex Taiwan about this via Facebook

I don't know if anyone on Baidu has pointed this out though

And for those who already preordered re(CORD) via CDJapan if you all are still worried if the album can be shipped outside of Japan , asking CDJapan's customer service via Twitter or email would be better to put your mind at ease instead of speculation

[Diva_br]

In KKFrance someone said that the issue is about Shutout not GF/LLVL but I don't understand all they're saying lol Sorry

[minkAYuko]

^ still!! or worse!!


you're ver kind Corvina

well yeah they have never cared about us, but at least they should be consistent like other artist who used to block their content outside japan or just log off internet if they really don't want our coins or love! hahaha

[thinkingoutloud89]

^I think that blocking is also not a direct attack but connected to some other things tho. They don't do it on purpose - they may just don't have it on their radar.

But you couldn’t buy GF19 on iTunes (outside of Japan) compared to the other 8 Singles. I think the rights for GF19 are just for Japan but not outside of the country.

[Marurosu]

I'm glad they put CC for strip and GET NAKED in the short PV on youtube, so we can know about the lyrics AND the translation. Can anyone confirm that putting to autotranslate to english it become reliable?

Thanks!

[kaled kalil]

I can't say that it is reliable, but you can see translation for the songs here https://shinitakashi.blogspot.com/20...sh-lyrics.html

Something interesting about GET NAKED - it is a song from 2016 and the song has two performers listed: Kumi and... Namie Amuro. Originally was just a Kumi song, but before Namie's retirement the song was also listed with her name (ASCAP ID 891029814).

[KarenPang]

Xianghua said the again PV was supposedly filmed in Yokohama

I think these even more again PV offshots confirmed it as so

This reminds me of Black Make Up being listed as a Kuu song as well. I think demos go back and forth between artists more often than we think lol

[Ayu_Love]

^ That's interesting to know! Black Make-up would have suited Kuu, but it suits Namie as well. I am glad Kuu got GET NAKED though, her voice suits it. Even though I'm sure Namie would have rocked it as well.

I love GET NAKED, it's a got a modern, catchy chorus. I feel like if it was released back in Kuu's golden years, sung by Namie or a popular K-pop star it would instantly be a hit, so I hope Kuu gets some recognition for it.

Are there any more songs Kuu and Namie shared?

GF19 is on apple music in germany, LLVL isn’t

[LiDaYu]

Both re(live) streaming are on WKKW : http://www.welcometokodakumiworld.com/actu/News

You have to log in to access.

The videos have some troubles but it still better than previews (and you can synchronize music and video on VLC)
