Strange that the 2 JAPONESQUE re(LIVE) photos that Sports Hochi included were not taken at Sendai but they were taken 2 Sun's ago in Osaka

Quote:
"Rich & Famous feat. Sean Paul," which samples Koda's song "CHANCES ALL."

In the jacket covers, Koda portrays an "artist controlled by music" with cords surrounding her like a cobweb
https://www.tokyohive.com/article/20...ers-for-record

So Rich & Famous will sound like CHANCES ALL but probably with different lyrics

And Kuu's website has now been revamped with a different design layout

Has anyone noticed you can't pre order any version of re(cord) from the global fc? All the editions have disappeared....

That first JAPONESQUE picture is amazing, captures the awesome opening really well!

There are some more pics floating around in articles on the net and in newspapers.
Newspaper coverage is positive, they say Kuu brings ero-kakkoii now into the new Reiwa era or they also give it a new name 艶かっこいい (tsuya kakkoii, something like captivating/ charming-cool or also colorful/shining-cool) as an evolution of ero-kakkoii
Mezamashi TV also aired footage this morning, but looks like nobody recorded.

I love this picture, too!

Interesting that the media apparently got some more info again.
That being-controlled-aspect fits to Kuu's concept for the re(LIVE) tour following her feeling of being trapped within the high expectations she set herself after her peak. Looking forward to the big interview she gave about the album, probably going to be part of the FC edition of the album again.

The album info only says CHANCES ALL is going to be rephrased, which I understand as the lyrics being used again in a way. Now the article says it's going to be sampled - we will see, but for now I stick with the lyrics.

The pictures are all stunning! You can really see how good the stage looks during the Black Cherry date. I can't wait to watch the blu-ray when it's available.

The album cover looks so much better when the background is black and has a better contrast... Quick edit of the cover:

^ I understand what people is sayin about the cover, but I do prefer the cover as it is <3 it's probably going to be printed in some glossy paper (hopefully) and it's going to look great!

The re(LIVE) tour venues were Hall which can accommodate under 3,000 fans

Black Cherry & JAPONESQUE tour venues were Arena and Dome which're a lot more bigger

Much Better

Kuu should do a fan contest and let us work with her covers because I've seen things more interesting from the fans

Woow... impressive how better the pic is with your edit! You are great!
Would you mind to work on the others covers as well?

Thanks

The KO-SO-KO-SO outfit definitely looks better than I remembered

However, I feel like it'd look better if the sleeves were part of an outer layer like the original instead of awkwardly being on the dress. I think that was my main issue originally.

Anyway, think this wasn't mentioned - not big news anyway - but Kuu just released the re(LIVE) setlists as playlist on streaming platforms. Found out about it when I was looking at the horrible new website design. https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1077922

It's lacking SHUTOUT and k, understandably. Interesting how they put in a remix of Twinkle in the Black Cherry one instead of the original (on Spotify at least).

these pictures look so amazing! I'd love to have all official photography of the tour as big file sizes, so I can print them... the costumes are so artistic <3

I am still impressed that she starts every cherry tour in the tank. I still wonder how she gets inside (does the background inside the tank lift and she dives to the front?)

I imagine it being very hard holding your breath underwater for so long with all the adrenaline pumping and seeing the audience cheer through the tank glass

So her next digital single "again" will be released on Wednesday... I thought she was only releasing eight digital singles total?

Anyway, it's described as a must-listen ballad with hope in the painful lyrics.

It was announced there'd be nine singles, so again should be the last one

About the tank, iirc they show how it works on the BC Tour DVD disc 2. The tank is divided in two parts by a wall, so she gets in using the back part, and when the bubbles show up in the front, they lift a door in the wall, she crosses and appears in the front of the crowd. And yeah she holds her breath A LOT lol

When I get home I try to do the other covers.

I think I will wait for the full album now and not listen again this week.

@jiarongisme twinkle (Japanese version) was never officially released on an album, it's only part of the black cherry tour DVD. That's why is only the remix.

Some of the Jankara stores already have promo up for the album.
Like here the one in Sannomiya in Kobe:

There was a big talkshow event for the Rika drama in Nagoya this weekend and as the theme song they of course played STRIP there.
