[Koda Kumi] The 206th Thread - My Name Is...

[Corvina]

Isn't this exactly what some of you guys wanted after she said in interviews she likes the (mix of) sound she has as an artist and doesn't want to change it?
Creating a band and doing more rock and anime.

Announcement is probably coming out soon.

[Gustavopc]

This is something I had been hoping for since agessss I am so happy!!! Kuu sounds great on this song, I cant wait to hear more from this project Cant believe ir took her almost 10 years to do this tbh

[jiarongisme]

This sounds BOMB. I can't for more!!

10x!

Kuu is in Osaka today as part of her talk show tour so nope

MISIA is performing at the Olympics ceremony later on though

MISIA looked so pretty! and her voice!

I loved the opening ceremony! hopefully they will make it big for the closing ceremony!!! I just want japan to show off everything they have and are and our faves!!

Kuu's manager announced a bunch of radio appareances for the We'll Be Ok release next week as well as one TV morning show on a Hokkaido channel.



And on her official site they also announced another J-WAVE Groove Line radio appearance on 08/16, where they will premiere Doo-Bee-Doo-Bop, two days before its release!

Really like this so far. I hope they release this as a proper physical single under Blank Page since Avex seem so afraid to release a widespread CD release under Kumi's name.

The video has decent views so I really hope they don't waste it. I feel Guess Who's Back tie-in wasn't used at all.

Really like enemy too.
It’s interesting the song is under a new band name. It’s maybe a good way to have better exposure for anime songs.
I wonder, how are BACK-ON sales nowadays ? Better than Kuu’s?

The 2 mascots social distancing dancing alongside with Kuu xD

[Xianghua]

The bop of the summer is here.

[_XXKK_]

love koda kuma but ugh that robot. They changed the 20th anniv logo too...

[Gustavopc]

Wish they had brought Koda Kuma back instead of that robot but it looks fun either way ahah Cant wait to see more!

[kaled kalil]

She looks so pretty, but the song still does nothing for me. I haven't listen to the song since the day of the radio interview.

[Corvina]

It's written at the end of the preview - PV will be out on Youtube on the release date!

[KarenPang]

We'll Be OK PV will be uploaded on YouTube tomorrow night 9pm Japan time

This campaign giveaway will start tomorrow til 17th Aug

[kaled kalil]

Song is officially out.

I don't know what's going on with the mastering of her songs lately, it has the same noisy quality of No One.

[Corvina]

Kuu is scheduled to perform Sayonara no Mukougawa in a collab with Ikusaburo Yamazaki at the Music Fair episode on 08/07.

Info is coming from Aoi Shota's official staff Twitter, so it's not clear if that's all or why they are sharing that info about another artist at all (other than he being a big fan of her and being on the same episode).
Nothing official yet from Music Fair or Kuu and her staff.

[kaled kalil]

The composers of We'll Be OK: Atsushi Shimada／Albin Nordqvist／Louise Frick Sveen

Albin and Louise worked with Kumi previously, they did the song HUSH as well.

[Xianghua]

I like it, it’s catchy

[ALfromHELLSING]

I love WBO - very fun & summerish, can't get it out of my head already. I hope we will get at least one TV performance then We'll Be OK.

This is awesome. Since they are using a different name, maybe there's a chance we could at least get an EP and not just one song. I guess it depends on how it performs, surprised there's still no news. Either way, a rock EP from KK would be a dream come true.
