[Koda Kumi] The 181st Thread - 15th Anniversary LIVE The Artist is just around the corner

[Gustavopc]

A side note, according to Koda Gumi the capitalization for the new song is simply "Cupcake" and not all in caps

[Diva_br]

Guys,I really REALLY hope that she releases a new album in february or march.

[Minttulatte]

I really don't think adding the tracks from SoL or WoL into a new album is a good idea after what happened with Ayu's LOVE again. I don't want that sort of a shitstorm to arriive to this thread because it wasn't a beautiful sight. That's why I hope the new album is made of 100% new songs. But if she decides to use those songs, then I'm just going to relax and watch the fandom meltdown while I eat popcorn.

As for the new pics from the concert, I really loved them all. I like the outfits we've seen so far. They have been classy and fabulous.

[ayuPanda]

Can someone help me maybe?
A friend of mine will be in Japan next April and hopes that Koda is giving her first live of the year, while she stays there.
Has someone a clue how to get tickets for the concert and is it maybe like ayu with a lottery? Thanks in advance

^ The dress is cool, but that hairstyle ruins the whole thing for me

The other outfit is beautiful though.

OMG TABOO LOOKS AMAZING

I hate the hairstyle for the ballad section, but everything else is slaying yay Kuu

Everything looks classy and beautiful. I'm eager to know about the new album. Hopefully is a studio.

Wow , On And On live performance snippet at last night's concert looks really grand & so cool

Kuu looks great when she sang you & Ai no Uta too

[jiarongisme]

Damn she sounds so strained in Ai no Uta. On And On sounds like it could be a really pretty song.

[Corvina]

Weren't you saying that for every Ai no Uta performance this year?
Guess you don't like the way she sings it nowadays.

That last high note for On And On!

[Uknow!]

Incredible.

[Gustavopc]

OMG THAT SONG IS AMAZING I AM SPEECHLESS RIGHT NOW

Okay, got my breath now. Damn, I love those drums and all the drama around this song, this might be one of the best things she's done in years. This globe tribute album is gonna be great omggg

[Corvina]

Is it me or is her voice too loud for the first verse compared to the music?

I love, love, love that she's the one doing the spoken verses!
Really looking forward to the full thing.

Well not really. Just the Asia tour and this. She sounded great in the MSta performance. Just really love her velvety voice on this song but it sounds like she's struggling in this somehow (like in the Asia tour ones).

I'm really curious about how the globe cover will turn out. It's so ominous and mysterious!

You mean the FNS Kayousai one?
Each to his own then, cause I don't think it was better there.
