[voltron]

For some reason the name & makes me think of b-sides or left-over tracks.

[a❤martian]

[jiarongisme]

^ A B-side compilation sounds great. Wouldn't mind another Out Works & Collaboration Best album too!

I think it’s saying how that dude (a baseball player) is a big fan of Ku’s and he wanted her to come to some sort of opening ceremony. He joined the fan club and when she heard of that she sent him signed album. I think it says something about his journey toward the Olympic’s and Ku must’ve said she wants to support him on that.

It's making some headlines today, not only in newspapers, also online on a lot of sites.

This is the baseball player using Life so Good!! as appearance song before all of his games.
It's cute. He's saying he joined her FC at once with his first salary last year and already re-newed.
Kuu not only sent him signed albums, but also some flowers for his birthday last year.
His name is Yuta Kuroki and he's playing for the Orix Buffaloes in Osaka.

Great promo for her, especially as he's also talking about her two new albums.

[pedronekoi]

So cool! <3

Where's the first picture of her from? Never saw this outfit before!

[Gustavopc]

^ Girls Awardsback in 2013, it was around Let's Party Vol 2 and iirc where she first performed BRING IT ON lol

I like "&" as the new al name, that's something new in her discography or maybe it's gonna be like BYP's Energy Never Dies "E.N.D."

It's cool that one of her fans is a baseball player and that he's promoting her FC too right before the FC tour. Very clever. lol It seems like her fanbase isn't completely dominated by girls anymore, at least that's what I noticed from her recent live tour Blu-rays & DVDs.

I was wondering if it possible that she's doing a small scale tour this year 'cause Namie's doing her biggest tour yet, which is also her final tour. I'd assume many of her fans might want to attend Namie's Finally Tour more than once since she'll never tour again and Kumi will most likely have another live tour early next year.

Title of Kuu's new album that will be released on 28th Feb - AND

I'm a little sad that the new FC Tour isn't Let's Party Vol. 3, I love how she sang some underperformed songs during Vol. 2. I hope this isn't just a tour to promote the album.

[thirduniverse]

I’m travelling to Japan during May-June, and I was hoping to see Kumi on her Fanclub tour. I’ve not attempted to buy concert tickets prior to this, so I’m finding it a little challenging. I’ve signed up to the Koda Gumi Fanclub. Are tickets usually available from there? Is it a difficult procedure to obtain?

Info for the two songs on the music card is out as well.

1. The opening song of the W Face Live Tour.
2. Short version of a song not included on AND.

On the FC DVDs will be 57 songs from different venues of the 2017 tour in total.

The composer of the opening is on Instagram.
She already posted about it some weeks ago, but I didn't think it meant somewthing back then.
Gonna search that post now.

[Akutenshi]

What a terrible title, but hopefully the music and covers are good!

[Corvina]

So this is the post the composer called Nana made about the opening of W FACE Tour:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BcWQkxxl...-by=nana_music

She says it was a dream of hers to make something for a big stage and she thanks Kuu for making that dream come true.
She was also able to see it live in Tokyo.
Plus she mentions at the beginning, that it was the 2nd time for her to work for Kuu.
First one was called "So Sexy" - I assume that this was the working title for "So Fever", cause the credits for it are as following:
Words: Kumi Koda
Music: NaNa★MUSIC / TRAK STA
Arrangement:EQ

If i sign koda gumi today, will I have a chance to enter in any lottery of this 2018 fan tour? I'm confused and just found about this tour today!

[ALfromHELLSING]

NaNa★MUSIC needs to compose more songs for Kuu, that W FACE TOUR intro is LIT AF, so is SO FEVER.

As for the title "AND" doesn't sound / look as cool as "&" unless there's some meaning behind each of 3 letters. It's also annoying AF that after buying the ultimate edition for 10,000 yen you still don't get both bonus tracks, technically you need to buy two copies of the FC edition for 20,000 yen to be able to download both tracks. wtf Only avex can do something this ridiculous in this time & age. Those bonus tracks better not be exclusively downloadable through Sumapura appl.

You only can get tickets through one of her three FCs - playroom, Japanese Koda Gumi, Global Koda Gumi.
Last join date to be able to enter the lottery was January 9th.
I'm sorry, but you're too late if you're just doing it now.
Unless they're going to make a second round, but so far it doesn't look like it.

If you joined right in time, lottery starts tomorrow, January 16th, and goes till January 22nd.
Tickets are limited to two per date.
As it's all live houses, the venues are rather small, so probably it won't be too easy to get tickets.
You can find the link for the form to enter with your credit card from the date the lottery starts on the FC page. Usually they also send an e-mail.

@Negi
LOL, yes, it's the dance segment.
