Well, I wouldn't say that it's "obvious" since the line is "G for Gin and Tonic" (https://mojim.com/jpy102528x70x3.htm and the actual booklet), but for all the performances when she says the line, which clearly she says H for gin [...], they show a big H on the screen.

Spoiler:

A little bit confusing, I have to agree, but that's the way I interpreted this.

As it's a tour staying at one venue for some time, they don't have time pressure to remove the stage and this is possible.
So far they announced it for the the two dates of Fukuoka and Osaka in October (see above).
Kuu or her dancers will NOT be present.
More details at a later date.

Omg, one of them is the date that I'll be going for! I might just try and apply for the lottery!

Eh Yo is connected to this tour.

I wonder if this means that there will be 2 sets of goods, and that they'll only sell them on their respective shows... Also, has the lightsticks always been this price?

What do you mean?
Those are lights, just in the form of a telescope and a Japanese fan. You can even see the buttons where to switch them on.
If you mean those lanterns she had with Koda Kuma in the middle till 2014 - well, Koda Kuma is not her mascot anymore, so they don't use it.

What the mini lantern I mean is the original JAPONESQUE stick light.


I've been addicted to it so much and was hoping it could be remade this time, but as what you said they will not remake those products with Koda Kuma in it.

I really appreciate Kuu's team always have new idea on stick lights and goods!

Eh Yo debut positions:

#1 on mu-mo (also real time #1 right now)

Spoiler:

#10 on recochoku

Spoiler:

#28 on Mora

Spoiler:

#12 on music.jp

Spoiler:

On iTunes it cracked the top 20 (highest yesterday #13, right now #19).
Those are all the sites counted by Oricon for its digital charts.
Doing better than all her songs digitally in recent years.
Best was HUSH, I think, but it e.g. barely broke into the top 40 on iTunes.

For streaming it's harder to tell.
On Line Music it's at #29 for yesterday on the daily ranking, at #23 right now in the real time ranking.

Spoiler:

Spotify is not out yet, but Spotify is not counted by Oricon or Billboard anyway.
On AWA Kuu's artist plan is available for free right now and they added setlist playlists for Black Cherry and Japonesque tour, both to celebrate the new single (campaign goes till October 25, till re(LIVE) is over): https://news.awa.fm/jpn/2019/7/3/kodakumi-artistplan

Let's wait for the weekly charts on Oricon.

The prices went up when they stopped using regular lightstick forms.
I suppose unusual forms like the triangle from W FACE or the controller from DNA or now for re(LIVE) are more expensive in production.

EDIT:

Eh Yo is at #12 for its first day on Oricon's digital chart!



Would be awesome if the song'd be able to hold that!

[Corvina]

The new MV is coming soon according to Kuu's Insta.











That bandana mask is from the small Shibuya streetwear brand Dog.

The big dress is Versace.

Why are you mad? I said, in my opinion. I’m sorry if that came off as rude, but it wasn’t my intent.

a-nation (summer2019) goods list of Kuu has been released today

This year's a-nation (summer2019) goods incorporates NINETY THREE TIL INFINITY text inside them

Online preorders of the goods will start next Fri afternoon onwards

a-nation 2019 goods.
The ninety three stands for Kumi.

Overall (modern parachute pants)


Oversized off shoulder shirt (with fluorescent foam print - logo a '90s homage)


Muffler towel (jacquard weave)


Shadecap (reflector print, shade removable)



Logo sunglasses with large frame




Yoyo (illuminated)


Harness bag (with metal patch)



Hair-band (4 random)


I'm surprised, that the goods have the same style as the new MV(s) Kuu just shot (cyberpunk - neokitsch).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her FC announced a lottery for another circle formation before every tour date again. Only for her Japanese Koda Gumi and people with tickets for the show.
They accept foreigners as winners though.
Every winner will also get a small present.

Kuu yesterday attended EXILE SHOICHI's 1st solo tour EXILE SHOKICHI LIVE TOUR 2019 UNDERDOGG at Saitama Super Arena

The goods are interesting I am forever wanting to buy a sports towel, I think I should finally let myself have one. I like that this new one is black and white.

What does 93 have to do with Kumi?

[thinkingoutloud89]

9 = kyu (kuu) + 3= san but can also be read as (mi, 三)

I mean I couldn’t care less about the demos so I haven’t heard any of them but when you’ve got the official lyrics saying “G for Gin and Tonic” compared to her actually singing “H” // showing videos on tour that say “H for Gin and Tonic”, that to me suggests an English comprehension issue and not something ”obvious”.

Anyway.

I hate the a-nation goods; hopefully this means they’re getting the bad designs out of the way before some stellar tour goods for re(LIVE).

.

I don't think it is a comprehension issue. They do bad with english but since they actually write out the word Gin, I'm pretty sure they are able to differentiate H from G.

[Gustavopc]

I don't like any of the a-nation goodies, but that's just cause they're not my cup of tea. Hoping I'll enjoy the reLIVE ones. It'd be such a great time to release photobooks/pamphlets again

So elaborate Thanks for clarifying
