Exciting news! I wasn't able to go to Tokyo in the end so this is great. Hope I can get tickets for both shows through the Global Fanclub. I imagine a lot of people will be trying to get tickets.

What would be a countdown edition for DNA tour?
Different setlist? Different cool effects?

[kaled kalil]

Probably the same show but with the countdown part. I wish the concert was in Osaka Jo Hall, which is an arena, but oh well.

Osaka Jo Hall is long taken at this point.
Porno Graffiti are having their countdown concerts there this year.
There are quite a lot of artists in Japan having CDLs every year.
But like that Kuu can sell out both dates without a problem.

If Rhythm Zone was willing to take a risk , Kuu could have hold her 1st countdown concert at Kyocera Dome Osaka cos nobody is performing there on the last 2 days of 2018

But with Osaka Grand Cube being a hall venue , Kuu should have no problems selling both dates out

[kaled kalil]

@Corvina I guess they didn't even considerate Osaka Jo Hall, since the stage is shaped for a hall tour and not an arena. It wouldn't be the first time they would have to "reshape" a stage for a bigger size (Black Cherry Tour becoming the special final), but I wasn't expecting this at all tho.

@KarenPang That would be cool but risky at the same time. If it was for her 20th anniversary, they could expect at least one of the dates do sold out. I remember with FANTASIA that they created new seats after the last batch of tickets, and I think those you couldn't even see the stage properly, but that was 8 years ago.

And yeah, it's probably gonna be sold out pretty quickly.

I love the tracklist 4 DNA tour. I was concerned that she might not perform NEVER ENOUGH but now that I know it's her fav song from the album there was no way she wouldn't have. It's my fav song from AND as well, it's simple yet amazing. I love the lyrics, they are so deep, meaningful & relatable.

I doubt DNA will be able to hit 20K , at most it will be slightly under 19K . Hopefully it will still be on Oricon next week :s

Thanks 4 the updated #s. It's a shame it won't hit 20k. The album is fantastic and deserves way better sales than this.

[Corvina]

Well, AND charted for 8 weeks and DNA is only at 5 now and sold the same amount.
Guess we can see it for another one or two or even more on the charts.

Guess Who Is Back topped Ai no Uta on Spotify.
It's at around 7k plays everyday right now.
But the majority of those streams must be from outside Japan, cause with those daily numbers it should pop up in the daily Spotifiy chart of Japan and it doesn't.
Which means the streams are not by Japanese accounts.
The song is popular overseas.
The opening of BC is at 1,6 million views on Crunchyroll France on youtube alone.

Bonus:
A screenshot from the October FC video!

Clip of Kuu performing WATCH OUT from the tour. The tour already looks more high budget to me than W FACE.

I think I get it now why she talked about getting tickets on the second floor, if the screens get too horizontal you might not see it properly. And indeed that makes it look like an arena tour. She might reuse this idea next year or in 2020, who knows ~

Am I the only one who sees it?

Is kinda weird to say it, but I can see Kuu in this man (?)

[jiarongisme]

I was about to ask what the poster was for and then I realised it wasn't Kuu

[chocopockymaster]

omfg I thought that was her too

[ayumi_croatia]

He really looks like Kuu!

[mi|kshake]

Yep, I totally see it!

2nd batch of DNA Tour goods were announced!
To be sold from Friday, 6 pm Japanese time and the Tokyo dates.

Pullover hoodie black


Cropped hoodie white


Ring shoulder bag


Smartphone rings


Gashapons (only at venues, 8 types, random)


The completely sold out bra & pants set is also going to be restocked! Once this batch is sold out, they won't restock again. It will only ship out at the start of December, so people are asked to consider that while ordering.
