[Koda Kumi] The 181st Thread - 15th Anniversary LIVE The Artist is just around the corner - Page 17

I'm happily surprised with the sound of "On And On", so far! I thought it was going to be more of an upbeat song (don't ask me why

) but considering the fact that it's for a winter-themed album, it sounds just right for the season & I can't wait to hear more.

Wanderin' Destiny sounds great!! The talking in english parts are so kuu! Great choice for her to cover.

On and On sounds cool! I like it better than what I've heard of NO ME WITHOUT YOU.

Kuu's overall vocals in that digest of THE ARTIST were a bit weak. I know she still has those powerhouse vocals. Wish I could hear more of it. This past year or so she's been sounding tired/strained. That last Ai no Uta performance (forgot what was the program she performed on) was pretty good though.

What happened to that dancer Kuu stole from beni, minami is her name I think. So sad she wasn't on the artist tour.

First week sales WOML Tour DVD/Blu-Ray

DVD
#2 13.175

Blu-Ray
#6 3.822

Total so far: 16.997

Sales are alright, on par with BV Tour.
Just a bit sad she didn't get weekly #1. Yazawa Eikichi on #1 isn't that far away.

Gustavopc · #**325** 8th December 2015, 12:11 PM

A pitty it wasn't a #1 DVD, indeed

It deserved better sales than BV Tour tbh

Corvina · #**326** 8th December 2015, 12:25 PM

Bon Voyage Tour did really well chart wise, it charted for 7 weeks and sold 23.5k in total (even though it was just #3 weekly in its first week).
If WOML Tour can do similar, I'm more than happy.
But it'll probably do a bit waeker.

pimenta · #**327** 8th December 2015, 12:48 PM

Sales are good, hopefully she can chart a couple more weeks and get closer to the sales of the last tour.

btw, she's #2 on the DVD+BD music combined ranking as well

kaled kalil · #**328** 8th December 2015, 02:40 PM

Good numbers overall. Now I just need a decent rip from the concert.

melissalove · #**329** 8th December 2015, 02:53 PM

^ you read my mind

Minttulatte · #**330** 8th December 2015, 02:56 PM

Getting #2 on the chart is really good in my opinion. Of course, a #1 would have been more awesome result but I'm glad she got into top 3. Maybe her next concert release does better then. <3

And yes to that rip of the DVD or Blu Ray. I really want to see this concert along with all the other ones starting from Premium Night ~Love & Songs~. Yes, I know I'm late but in the past couple of years I have been unable to concentrate on these so I have only collected them but I never watched them. Not that it really bothers me. Now I can get a overdose of Kuu amazeness by having a concert marathon, lol. *____*

Corvina · #**331** 8th December 2015, 04:07 PM

I've translated the lyrics for NO ME WITHOU YOU into English.

NO ME WITHOUT YOU

Spoiler:

It's my first time translating something, so keep in mind that Japanese isn't easy to translate in right context.
If you have something to add or correct, go ahead! I'm grateful for all feedback.

The first verse was really tricky. It's hard to translate, but I guess she means, she's standing there, hiding nothing, coming so far, but still have so much to learn. Something like that.

melissalove · #**332** 8th December 2015, 05:16 PM

It sounds like kumi might be talking about her current state in the music industry. But that's just me making things up.

kaled kalil · #**333** 8th December 2015, 11:11 PM

Thanks for the translation, Corvina. The lyric is really lovely. I can see this song playing next to walk for her next tour.

You guys, after the news from The Artist, and what I'm about to announce was supposed to be "released" at the same day of Kumi's debut, but I'm so busy lately that I'm still finish this project. And since I know you guys were interested on this idea, I decided to ask a little help so we can have the most complete database for Kumi:

I talked to you guys a couple of months ago about doing a website like Ayu's Eneabba Seasons, with screenshot of her performances / music videos / concerts, and some more information. Since the idea was kinda good, I decided to expand this and make a whole database about her, with information about her albuns, singles, anyway... Everything.

Koda Kumi - The Artist Database

I have, already, most of the albuns done and singles as well (big thanks to GustavoPC) and I'm also uploading pictures of all the performances that I have from her. And since the idea is bring more information for those who might not know much about her, there is also some things that many people might have never seen before.

I hope you guys like the idea and maybe we can have a good place to have everything about Kumi!

And btw, since most of the covers iTunes friendly that I uploaded a long time ago are off right now, I'm uploading all her covers in this style.

kaled, very nice !!!! thank you so much for your time to that big project

I'll post it @ my facebook page ^^

Corvina, nice translation, is a wonderful song

Corvina · #**336** 9th December 2015, 05:50 AM

Thanks guys.

Kaled, it's funny, I actually started to make a info site for Kuu as well.

Sorry, only Tudou, as it's from Kinot on Baidu.

pimenta · #**339** 9th December 2015, 01:25 PM

Kaled, that's awesome, thank you for doing this!
I can't help much with pictures as I don't tend to keep those, but I could try to help with the releases information... Also I have access to all Oricon's ranking database information, I could update the albuns/singles/etc with the sale numbers

freedreamer · #**340** 9th December 2015, 05:20 PM

Wanderin' Destiny is AMAZING!!
On and on is rather sigh... Likewise, wished for a proper winter ballad like Yume no uta or Koishikute
