You mean DNA.
Kuu showed the DNA Tour flyer once in a Insta story with the caption,that her son brought the flyer to her with the words "I found mama!".

It's interesting,that they promote the tour so early already, considering general ticket sale doesn't start before August.

Yes, I also saw at a Lawson near home. I'm fact, after listening to the previews I was thinking of reading the flyer, but I just went there to buy my breakfast and it was gone =(

[Zeke.]

They had that flyer at my LAWSON like 2 months ago already. I kept thinking to grab it but put it off. Finally I decided to grab it about a month ago and since that time they haven’t been there anymore.

Afaik there are no flyer for AND.
Only for DNA, but they use the AND photoshoot pics for that.
So I guess you thought it is for AND, cause they use the AND pics for it?

^I have to look it up but I'm pretty sure the album flyer from that "mall" was for the album AND - the lawson one could be for DNA Tour yeah.

[Gustavopc]

Fun fact: I mentioned a couple of days ago it had been ages Kuu hadn't released an album in this time of the year, and indeed, just checked she *never* had an studio album that was not released between december and march. I wonder if she herself is aware of that

[indigochild]

Just listened to the previews. Feels like a standard Kumi album (not that that is a bad thing). Work That however I can already tell will be the standout track for me. The preview is DOING IT for me

[Uknow!]

This live is near 2M



And it has 400.000

[Party_King]

I need some help guys!
I regularly order my Kumi FC Versions by a German Facebook site...
This time they won't order because of time issues...
Is someone here who would order DNA FC Version for me?
Even if I don't get the bonus anymore I'd like to have the FC Version.
Please let me know via PM if there's someone who can help me out
Thank you in advance!

[kaled kalil]

I was getting happy about a-nation next week, but looking around I saw that the show isn't gonna be broadcast live, only the august dates...

[~angel*ayumi~]

To the ppl here who are in the FC, is or worth for a casual fan? I listen to Kumi alot at the beginning og her carrer, then lost my interest but latley got into her again.
So what has the international FC to offer beside ordering FC Version of CDs and getting Tickets?

I've been a member of both FCs and honestly there's not much else for the international one. I've complained about this once before (lol) but I was disappointed giving up my domestic membership. Sure the international gets updates but not as often and not as much. They don't always have the same content, most recent example the DNA previews weren't uploaded like they were with domestic Koda gumi. I also don't like that they don't send out news emails to the international FC.

If your priority is getting tickets and ordering fan club products then it's great to join, but if having the latest info is important to you then it's not really a benefit.

However international membership is cheaper than domestic so there's that.

*oh also the international gives you playroom content which is a separate thing in the domestic FC. I don't go on playroom so I don't know the content of it so well.

Like Xianghua said, it depends on what you want with it.
The international FC has everything of both Japanese FCs, except the physical mag/goodies and the news mails.
But they're usually late with uploading. Can happen that they upload 2 months of blog entries all at once. Sometimes they're faster.
E.g. the mentioned DNA previews - they were uploaded, just two days later.
Tho the international costs just half as much as the Japanese main FC, Koda Gumi, and is pretty cheap altogether.

To sum it up:

Playroom (mobile FC):
- All blogs by Kuu and her staff
- FC ticket rounds
- Games
- FC shop
- All news & info, also as mail
- Monthly videos, calender pics and wallpapers

Japanese Koda Gumi:
- All news and info, also as mail
- Physical FC mag and goodies (for the digital mag as well you have to pay 500 Yen extra)
- FC ticket rounds
- FC shop
- Bedhind-the-scene videos and also sometimes wallpaper

International Koda Gumi:
- All blogs by Kuu and her staff
- FC ticket rounds
- Games
- FC shop
- All news & info, but not as mail (only birthday mails)
- Monthly videos
- Digital FC mag
- Wallpapers
- exactly same layout as playroom

Also seeing that I support both Kuu & Hey ! Say ! JUMP , I couldn't help but feel torn about this :x

But HSJ's SENSE or LOVE is significant to the group to a certain extent as this will be their 1st album as a 8 member , not a 9 member group

JStorm could have picked other dates in August to release their new album , heck even on 1st Aug , on the same day as their new single COSMIC☆HUMAN but they chose not to

[~angel*ayumi~]

ic ic.... I will think about it^^ 2000 yen is not that much to try it out^^

Kuu showed the DNA Tour flyer once in a Insta story with the caption,that her son brought the flyer to her with the words "I found mama!"

This is so cute!!

[Corvina]

Someone on Baidu also managed to make some screenshots from her story, where she's flipping through the sites of the photobook:




Also, did you guys notice the poster hanging behind her in the story?



Looks like it is from the W FACE ~outside~ photoshoot.

[ayumi_croatia]

The photobook looks stunning!

[Gustavopc]

I just LOVE those pics where she's sitting behind the chair <3
