But I do hope the japanese fans don't care about it, since someone said they didn't care about the single covers.

The difference with Best Second Session as well was the singles album was combined with a best album, which do crazy in Japan for some reason. Namie's fame was sky rocketed again after her BEST FICTION album (among other things of course, like her new image), and Ayu's highest selling album to date (I believe) is A BEST. So I kinda hope that Kuu will do the same format as Best Second Session next year, for her 20th by combining a new album with a best album. I think it would be a good chance to bring back fans who perhaps lost interest the past few years.

I love the preview of Merry Go Round, it sounds so chill and uplifting!

^no thats not quite true. The momentum must be right. Kumi's third universe did not do well, so didn't Namies Love Enhanced. Moreover, second session wasn't combined - it was just a collection of the 12 singles + 2 (3) more songs.

On a side note: Sam Smith released a cover of I Feel Love and it made me wish sooooo bad Kuu had release a studio version of hers Also wish the same for We Will Rock You (and since both were released on live DVDs, I guess they do own the rights already?)

I just watched the japonesque re live performance and I enjoyed it a lot. Loved the MC, she talks A LOT and speaks so damn fast lol She’s funny. Now excited to see the black cherry one

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Kuu will be performing a medley of hits on NHK Uta-con on November 12!

Glad she's doing some TV promo for this release.

I'm so happy she's being quite active on TV. Can't wait for the next two performances (Utacon and Melodix). I still hope she's doing NHK Songs and Music Fair soon as well. Sukkiri might happen as well.

@Gustavopc Covers during live performances are a totally different thing when it comes to rights, I think. I guess at some point they thought about releasing We Will Rock You, since she has a studio recording of the song anyway and it had a pretty huge tie-in with Kirin. Maybe it was scrapped after the 2008 scandal, since her campaign for Kirin was also shut down.

I would love to see Kuu be featured on NHK SONGS , that should happen

ARASHI appeared on NHK SONGS for the 1st time this year to celebrate their 20th anniversary & most recently GLAY did so for their 25th anniversary and also LUNA SEA for their 30th anniversary this year

Kuu also should be featured on Love music and also NHK The Covers . I love the stage setups going on for The Covers and CDTV should invite her back on the show too

Is that Studio Version of We Will Rock You available? I’d love to hear that!

[kaled kalil]

It was used as a opening for her a-nation performance back in 2007 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlxIvYX5ag4

Also the Kirin CM

You guys saw Kuu posting about having a fun day at Disney Sea on the weekend?
Only posting it at the end of the day for obvious reasons.

Somebody did recognize her and her family tho:



And wonders why nobody else did.

[Gustavopc]

omg her son has grown up so muuuuch I'm soft ahahah

[Diva_br]

In a pair of years he will be as tall as her

[KarenPang]

Kuu will make a cameo appearance on tonight's episode of the Rika drama

No word what Kuu will play , probably she will appear as herself ?

^Damn, she looks stunning. Literally shining with beauty. I swear, this woman only gets prettier with age.

Freaking love again both song & MV! Merry Go Round sounds awesome too. re(CORD) is shaping up like it could make it to my top 5 favourite albums from the Kuueen.

Koda Kumi Mega Hit Medley sounds like Ai no Uta ~ Butterfly ~ BUT Maybe also Eh Yo? I'm not expecting much more. I really hope she will perform again somewhere, I think this song might be an album seller for people in Japan.

[Toniayu123]

She posted on ig she’s recording again

[Gustavopc]

The full MV for k, is up for FC members. Couldn't play on my mobile phone tho :/

[ShiniTakashi]

"k," is quite cute! I like it a lot. Also liked the preview of "Merry-Go-Round" too!

[junniorkopke]

k, is up on YouTube.


Love the song and the MV!

[thinkingoutloud89]

k is cute.

I still haven't heard anything about a refund for the cancelled date and I obviously can't attend the new date sin February. This is kinda annoying.
