Yup. She mentioned that she wants to alternate between hall and arena tours every year.

Another question to international members, all those FC members exclusive editions you can only get by using tenso middleman services? As far as I know they can only ship using FedEx, could someone confirm? I'm thinking of renewing my membership. Thanks!

To answer your questions.
No, the international FC doesn't get any physical goodies, only the japanese. But the international gets stuff digitally , like the FC magazine (though now the japanese Koda Gumi gets the FC magazine digitally as well).
And yes, you can only buy via tenso from the international FC. Though I don't know, how they ship.

Edit:
Winter of Love 6th week sales:


Just one more week till 30k.

TOUCH DOWN from TA is pure S E X ...
i think soon or later i will forgot how the original version sound like lol~
btw, im so happy Maiko is back as her dancer, she always so powerful...

[kaled kalil]

^ I was sad when I say WOML Tour and Maiko wasn't here. Now Fuko is gone (she had a baby, iirc).

About her Hall vs Arena Tours, I think it doesn't really matter, since her Arena Tours are usually with a more simple stage, just the screen and props here and there.

I tend to like her Hall tours more, since the stages are usually really well put together. The Bon Voyage stage was soo good, with that boat and all (and it was sad that she used the boat part of the stage for just half of one freaking song).

Btw, I feel I'm the only one who don't feel that passionate about the Japonesque Tour. It's good but, I don't know... It's not great. I don't know if it's because the boring ballad section, or that ugly hairdo during the dance section.

Guys, can I buy tickets for Kuu shows at reseller store? I've been wondering for quite a while now.

[chocopockymaster]

Yes.

About Cupcake wich I recently listen the song, I noticed that in the music are a Nicki Minaj sound from Roman Reloaded album xD

Here are all photos from the 15th Anniversary photoshoot officially used:

The first promo pic to promote her 15th anniversary, the 15th Anniversary History DVD book cover, the Artist DVD/Blu-Ray cover.



And they use it as birthday card and for the new Visa Card you could apply for at WOML Tour:

KODA KUMI 15th Anniversary LIVE The Artist trailer



I like the photoshoot photos Kuu went for her 15th anniversary . It was a very understated look she had but still very glamorous & sexy at the same time

[salina]

thxx for the trailer awesome

[ALfromHELLSING]

Thanks very much for the info Corvina! I've re-joined the fan club again, going to try ordering a few things from Koda Gumi's mu-mo store later. Too bad I wasn't a member in Feb, as it is when my birthday was. Would have been nice to get even a generic message from Kuu-chan. Oh well, next time I guess.

Does anyone know if the first press edition of Driving Hit's 3 came with a sticker? CD Japan doesn't have any info about it.
And does anyone own first press edition of Bon Voyage Tour on Blu-Ray? CD Japan says FP comes with cover featuring hologram artwork. I'm trying to grab one from yahoo but they all look the same to me. Thanks!

Is a hologram sticker, it's cool

OMG I want now the DVD, but I don't have money

The Bon Voyage Tour BR cover is kinda similar to Black Cherry and TRICK Tour. Here is a link of BC Tour, BV has a similar effect but with shinny lines instead of dots, don't know to describe it better

edit: This one has the holographic cover, but it's veeeery subtle in the pic, you can see some shiny "x"s which are the lines I was talking about

I was looking at this exact auction earlier this week and I could never tell that this is a first press copy. Nuts! lol Thanks for the info. Yeah, the glittery effect on BC Tour DVD was impossible not to notice, compared to this one.

According to HMV Japan Driving Hit's 3 only had some kind of lucky draw for Koda Kumi car goods but didn't have sticker inside like some of the latest DH albums. Can anyone confirm on that one?

Same here, I wanna buy Blu-ray version but with the current exchange rate it's so damn expensive. I'll probably get used one a few years later.

it's very subtle. you have to tilt the cover around to see it. but it looks really lovely

[Corvina]

There's going to be a new Cute Honey Live Action movie called "Cutie Honey -Tears-" with Mariya Nishiuchi as main character. Coming autumn 2016.
I'm wondering if she's covering Cutie Honey as well for the film? Or provides the theme song altogether. As she's also a singer.
Would also be great if Kuu would do something for it, but chances are slim.^^
Info from here:

Alright, and some other good news.
Kuu is part of the new Google Play Music TV CM. The On And On PV is featured
Starting airing on 03/07 (today) in japanese TV across the country.

Winter of Love is at #23 for February for albums on recochoku (#11 for January):

[pimenta]

Damn, I didn't realize the Bon Voyage tour cover was holographic... It took me years to buy TRICK and Black Cherry's tours, because I only got those when I eventually came across the holographic versions... Oh, well, one day maybe I'll buy it.

[Gustavopc]

Getting ready for Cutie Honey (2016 Version) Anyway I do hope she's featured on the movie, either on the OST or actually being on it~

Great to see WoL charting well, Kuu must be really proud of it <3

[Corvina]

Kuu is featured in the current March issue of Nikkei Woman:
