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

When Walk of my life starts playing, does anyone else start singing Boku ha kuma in their head? lol

[Gustavopc]

^ omg now everytime I'll listen to it, I'll hear Boku wa kuma instead for the first seconds

I wonder if for the next concerts (this week, I suppose?) they'll already be selling those pictures with Kuu in the tour outfits, I'm so curious to see how the rest of them look like

[kaled kalil]

That picture we got it's probably from the "rock" section, the pose reminds me a lot of the TABOO pose. I can't wait to see more pics too!

[Kaiouforever]

I sort of hear "walk" in her "walk of my life" song. Not sure why, some of the melody seems to remind me of the other.

I don't know if we already have scans or something, but just in case, here's an unboxing of the live tour pamphlet (also the A2 poster) ♥

For her 10th there was UNIVERSE Tour from April to June (which is pretty much how this tour is gonna last), then Dream music park for two days in July, which was a kind of extension of UNIVERSE Tour yet not a Special Final. Around October (iirc) there was ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~ at Billboard Live, which were simple concerts in a small stage, I guess there were like eight dates only. Finally, there was FANTASIA at Tokyo Dome on December 5th (one day before her 10th anniversary).

My guesses/whishes for this year are another FC Tour, cause she always perform some forgotten gems on those, and a special concert in December. Not necessarily a dome, I think they're too big and it looks a bit empty without a proper stage, but still something bigger.

Sorry for the late reply, not been on much. But thanks so much for all this info!

I wonder how quick she'd sell out if she did one night at Budokan or something?

You're welcome! And yes, apparently he started uploading videos to youtube recently! (They're mostly about kuu ♥)
Btw, if you guys need a translation of something of the video (I'm also spanish), just let me know!

She sang Ai no Uta today during the Song Menu part of the concert. The rest was pretty much the same.

[CoriKaru]

Finally heard "PIECE IN THE PUZZLE" and I like it but I hate that they wasted the last 30 seconds repeating the same thing over and over again and she can't even pronounce it. I skip to the end to get the playcount at that point. No time for the entrance of basicness.

One date concert for Kuu would be sold out quite fast since the dates for Kuu's tours are always sold out pretty soon after they're announced.

I'm happy that the Song menu thing is used again. One of the things why I love Kuu so much is that she brings fans on stage with her and they choose a song for her to aing. That's really nice of her.

I kind of agree. I think she should have sang "the piece in the puzzle" once, and then let the instrumental play out the rest of the song rather than repeat it a ton of times. But I don't really notice it.

[jean-baptiste]

I think it's time I revisit WALK OF MY LIFE. Haven't heard the album since I got it in the mail. I was a bit underwhelmed by it, excluding Dance In The Rain and HOTEL which still haven't gotten old for me since their respective releases last year. I wanna give it some love and try to appreciate it - I mean I paid for the damn thing lol.

Yeah, either do what you say and then cut the 30 seconds by 15-20 seconds or keep the length and have her ad lib some interesting notes or go off on a whole 'nother tangent altogether to catch us off guard.

Omg I wish i could unread this

[kaled kalil]

The demo song had only instrumental for the ending, it's not like Kumi's version.

My only problem with piece in the puzzle is that I was hoping for the real lyric (at least at the end of the song) "I'm the missing piece in the puzzle", it sounds way better. And also the climax of the original, it was better in the demo song.

The lyric is SOOOO different, it's funny to see the original song had such a different meaning. haha
