[Koda Kumi] 202nd Thread - Celebrating her 20th year

[thinkingoutloud89]

is there an mp3 of the artist?

@Gustavopc I wouldn't blame the editing, but rather the concept of the concert itself. As said by Kumi, the DNA stage was better seen from the second level of the hall, so you can see the moving screens and get the whole gimmick. Since it is like this, you get much more open shots with DNA footage than for BSC. It could also look empty because DNA stage it didn't have a second floor. She was performing in the middle of the stage pretty much all the time, as for BSC she was on the second floor performing Shh, or using the stairs, or the cool moment with Ningyo Hime.

Btw, I also like that shot. It's like you're there walking back to your front set and you're getting close to her. haha

To be all three tours (BSC, W FACE and DNA) had too much of this "empty" space feel. For BSC and W FACE you can understand because the concert was made to fit all types of hall, so it's a simple center stage.

a-nation will not take place this year due to COVID-19

Hardly a surprise , everyone's health is more important

[Gustavopc]

I was expecting a-nation not to happen as usual... Maybe if things get better they will host a kind of streaming live-from-home festival, who knows, but the concert itself was feeling unlikely by now. That makes me worry about Kumi's tour as well. Poor girl, right in her 20th year :/ At least she seems to be looking on the bright side of things, making videos and songs from her home, sharing a lot of stuff with us and also reinforcing the appeal to stay at home. I feel proud of her as a fan

[KarenPang]

avex did said that in place of no a-nation this year , they will do something in lieu of it

That's not mentioned for now but probably avex might stream past a-nation footages online for a limited period of time

Also Kuu is not the only artiste that deserves to celebrate her 20th anniversary this year

Others like BENI (15th) , GRANRODEO (15th) , Kame to Yamapi (15th) , UVERworld (20th) , Hirai Ken (25th) , V6 (25th) , they all should be doing that this year too but unfortunately due to COVID-19 , they have to find different ways in celebrating

And for once technology is not the enemy here

[Corvina]

Kuu just said in the tags of her new Insta post that we get an announcement soon!

Also DNA tour already overtook The Artist in views and shortly will with Bon Voyage and Premium Night, too!

EDIT:
She now also posted in her stories, that she had a staff meeting by video today for new goods.
Now she asks us what goods we wanna have.

[Gustavopc]

Oh, I hope she announces it soon! If she's excited about it, I'm excited as well

The only kind of goodie I long for nowadays is for pamphlets and/or calendars to make a comeback, she always delivered with those, but I gues it wasn't worth anymore keeping on doing those unfortunately.

[kaled kalil]

Today's How to Dance is ECSTASY again, but the chorus.



It's funny that she's teaching the choreography that she uses when performing live nowadays, and then they show the PV where she's doing the complete one. haha

[thinkingoutloud89]

ree-back

[Corvina]

They've released 6 exclusive wallpapers on each Koda Gumi and playroom yesterday. It's the first batch, we're going to get more, yay.

Kuu also announced another Insta live for 9 pm JST today. And she recorded again yesterday.

She says in her post that the chorus choreo is harder to do, so that might be the reason.

[Earth_maiden]

Watching the live now, She's sung a few snippets of songs but mostly she's just talking to guests/fans.

[Gustavopc]

She played a snippet of a new song, you can barely hear it tho

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Some more info about the upcoming announcement thanks to LiDaYu and kinotrumpet on Twitter!

She planned to make the announcement at on the tour finale but it’s cancelled. She will announce it on May 29th via instagram live and she has been preparing for it since November.

[kaled kalil]

Queen of making announcement for the announcement. Can't wait.

[Corvina]

The announcement is going to be published 4 pm JST May 29 on her FCs.

[Gustavopc]

@kaled rofl extacly my thoughts

Well here comes the all time best guys!

[kaled kalil]

New 20th anniversary project for playroom: they are looking for people to tell memories and situations related to Kumi. https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1083477

[Gustavopc]

On a total random note, does anyone know what was this event that Kumi performed (?) on last year?

http://kumiloves.free.fr/Galerie/?alb=1863

It was indeed during the time she was visiting South Korea, and I remember she posted pics of that outfit on her instagram, but I had no idea she was performing something. And there's a pic from the entrance with ayumi's name? lol

[roxaskh2fm]

Did they just removed the lives from the youtube channel? :/
