[Koda Kumi] The 175th classy Koda Kumi thread!

[ayu_ready?]

I think Back-ON has some European or kinda international tours, which is a bit surprising for me, but it's still a true fact. plus Kenji apparently sometimes writes music and lyrics and they do kinda tour in Japan too

I think they don't have probs with money and maybe Kuu really has a bigger sum to get into the budget, but I still think that Kenji works just ok

[abestfah]

This week she sold only 499 copies, totally now 47.975 -*-
Ayu's sale may pass her in a week definitely
Tour seems to not help.

[Gustavopc]

They have been selling the same amounts since like 2009? It's pretty clear they've been in the same boat for ages...

[pimenta]

A ONE will outsell WOML, but not by much, I think they'll finish the year with very similar sales as usual.

[melissalove]

Whats a couple of thousands if both are probably not even gonna sale past 65k. I just find all this "ayu will outsell kumi, by a couple of points" tedious and pointless. They both need help PRONTO. They cant even outsell their previous works (colorus, Bon voyage.) with superior material which are Aone and Woml.

If Kumi or Ayu really cared about their sales they would promote their albums on Music Station and a few other TV lives. If they aren't bothered with their sales why should the fans? At least Ayu performs on the Music Station Super Live and Step by Step has a great tie-in she's on the right track lately.

Do you need a life alert?

What are their digital sales like?

No!! Don't need life alert but maybe you should try it and tell me how it worked out for you. You would think digital sales matter as much they should.

That's totally not my point. I meant i don't see why some members get all excited about ayu almost outselling kumi by like a few thousands. Now a difference of 10,000 is more celebration worthy. I did mention how their sales need help. though. from where i'm standing both #'s look awful. It's a shame really because Aone, Woml are better albums than their previous . One last thing. Didn't kumi celebrate her #1 weekly position via line?? and this is coming from a woman who isn't bothered with sales? confused. Not trying to troll though it's written in my signature. i do apologies cause my writing tends translate as harsh..... often.

I already need a summer single I hope she's preparing one like HOTEL, which was not predictable like Summer Trip

[chocopockymaster]

The upbeat coupling songs/b-sides from her past two summer singles have slayed my life (MIMB/IS THIS TRAP?) so...more songs like those, please

agree.
this time I noticed A ONE was promoted much better and, in general, promoted, but WOML was not

[Zahara]

Yes, you do need a life alert . Their sales are bad, we knows this, but their albums aren't really promoted as much anymore. Until either one is barely selling 1,000 copies with heavy promotion, I'm ok with them at this rate. Popularity comes and goes, who knows, in a few years kuu might get popular again.

And yeah, you do come across as a troll, but you do bring up a good point from time to time, especially regarding digital sales.

Hi!

I create a project about Kuu-chan for the venue of BACK ON (and Kenji) at the Japan expo event in France in July !

I let you see the information on the facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/KodaKumiEuropeanFansProject/

but let me show you the original post :

Hi guys!!
As you know and 'cause I already shared my feelings about the come of BACK ON at Japan Expo (Paris), early july
I think WE (as Koda Kumi europeans fans) can to do something (at least more than when she is in Japan) to show her we are waiting her
Let me begin my explanation : her husband, KENJI, is a member of BACK ON group, this music group come at the japan expo and we can expect 3 apparitions : live, interview & sign.
at the interview and sign, I guess we can try to give him something for Kumi!
Moreover we know we could see him,
we know too that Koda Kumi said she was little jealous than her husband go to Mexico for live, and she is free the period around japan expo (during her live tour).
Ok, i don't think she will coming to the event, but i think it's possible that she comes to Paris
I hope we'll have some fans who will try to wait her at the airport and try to find the hotel... but this is not the point here!
I'm ok to share the informations but i don't live at Paris and I have to work those days to do it myself!!
Anyway I was thinking to give her a "folder" with european fan "files" letter
In fact, all the files as i call will be a letter in english with a picture of you near something of your country and some words in your language (french, italian, ...) and a short profile (same for everyvody : ncikname, age, country, first cd bought or things like that)
I take care to print it at home!
The size will be smaller than A4 (avout 15x20cm), in a landscape mode and the cover will be scrapbooked by my best friend (fan of ayu) with France X Koda Kumi theme and, inside the letters and a word coming from her for 15th anniversary greetings and thanksful and the resume of the people and the "to be continued" word
I already planned to give a little gift to Kairi-kun with it.
I'm, for sure, listening your ideas (I'm sure you'll have great ideas!!)
I'll put the form for the informations later (number of characters, ...) with a simplest notice,
and you'll have to send everything before the 26th June (one week to put all in one)
I promess you'll have some pictures of the result before the day
I hope you'll be as excited as me and I hope read YOUR ideas at my mail address : linoadaggayuna@hotmail.com
bye guys!
C u later!
LiDaYu Ran~

Please, share, like & join, I'm only going to share it here and on JpopCentral.

So jelly of French fans right now

Although, my one suggestion, and maybe its not even a good one, would be to make sure that you acknowledge Kenji/Back-On in some small way, like a small gift just to them, unrelated to Kuu. I just think it would be little rude to them to go to an event where they are supposed to be the focus and you give them something for someone else. I hope I didn't come off as rude explaining that, actually . I just want to make sure Back-On feels the love ❤

I totally agree..

Totally camouflage it by getting back-on something special too.

[Corvina]

I'm sure, LiDaYu already thought about that.
Btw, I'm taking part in it for sure.
And I wanna make two sites for her!
Hopefully it gets a success.

i never said the idea is perfect you can submit your ideas!

and BACK ON will find fans during all those 4 days thats not like they come, nobody come for them and i give them something... not for them
come on, they will have so much love, i'm not worry about this!

not rude at all, i'm waiting some advice/ideas for project like this!
The first goal,for me, is Kumi.So i plan it in first! but yeah i don't want to be rude with them

[Diva_br]

Well... BACK-ON was on my country (a month ago) and a lot of fans of KUU wanted to do a project like LiDaYu (and some ayu-fans too) but I was against it (and I AM A HUGE KUU FAN) because is a concert of BACK-ON not for Kuu. I'm according with happyholic★ maybe is a little rude...

I know it's a project armed with love, but in the place of the band, do you not feel sad if, instead of going just to see you, is by another artist? I think it would be disappointing... and think about her too, she could feel a little bad for it because is the concert of another artists...

I don't know, is just my point of view...
