We’re in the 15th row on the first floor, dead center!

And I’m SUPER pleased our ticket designs were the same as the fan club tickets; having never used LivePocket before I didn’t know what to expect but I’m so happyyyyyy

You won your tickets through the global FC, didn't you?
Those are FC tickets, even if they use LivePocket for that.
Have a lot of fun!

Kuu's July 20th a-nation 2019 digest performance at Aomori

https://www.bilibili.com/video/av69531798

BS Fuji aired roughly about 12-13 mins per for some artiste's performance digest sets from both Aomori & Fukuoka dates :s

DA PUMP's a-nation 2019 performance digest at Aomori was less than 9 mins

I can’t even fucking believe what just happened to me.

So the show was great, it was my first time seeing her in a hall as opposed to a stadium or arena, and her energy was AMAZING.

On a whim my sister and I entered the venue through the line you were meant to wait in if you wanted to be entered for the post-show lottery where you could have your picture taken on stage (no Kuu included). I figured it didn’t hurt to wait in line a bit longer but didn’t even remotely bank on winning.

Except I did? They chose ten attendees at random and posted the seat numbers in the lobby so you could see if you were chosen as everyone was exiting the venue and I legit thought I was going to die of shock when I saw my seat number.

One of the winners didn’t show so the staff took nine of us backstage (there was one other foreigner there; AHS didn’t come up in conversation but holler if you’re reading this!) and we got to go have our picture taken one by one. They were already starting to dismantle it as this was the last Fukuoka show but it was a fun novelty thing to do I guess.

I was third in line, and the staff showed each of us out of the hall when we were done with our photos so I made my way back up to where my sister was waiting. Honestly I didn’t love my pictures but I was joking about it with the staff and such

AND THEN

THE AFOREMENTIONED FOREIGNER, WHO WAS BEHIND ME IN LINE

comes out and says “I’m so sorry for what I’m about to tell you but just as I was leaving after my pictures Kumi came out to see everyone and shake their hands”

You guys. I fucking sobbed. Every other person behind me in line got one on one time with her and when I saw the staff member that had originally taken us down to the stage I hurried over and asked if she was still there only for him to be like, “Nope.”

And that’s the story of how one person can simultaneously have the best and worst luck in the world. I’m still not over it and probably never will be. TT_____TT

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I would feel the same way as well - must've been a roller coaster of emotions.

They're going to record the re(LIVE) dates 10/12 and 10/13 in Osaka for the DVD release:



Quote:
10月12日(土)、13日(日)オリックス劇場公演は、会場で映像収録を予定しております。

そのため、演出上の都合により、
Black Cherryの公演では、re(LIVE)ツアーオフィシャルグッズ「スティックライト(Black Cherry ver.)」、
JAPONESQUEの公演では、re(LIVE)ツアーオフィシャルグッズ「スティックライト(JAPO NESQUE ver.)」をご使用いただき、
それ以外の過去の倖田來未オフィシャルグッズのライトを含むご使用をお控えくださいますようお願い申し上げ ます。

なお、コンサート会場内でre(LIVE)ツアーオフィシャルグッズ以外の光り物をご使用されているお客様 には、スタッフより声をかけさせていただく場合がございますので、その際はスタッフの指示に従っていただき ます様、ご協力をお願いいたします。

皆様のご理解・ご協力をお願い申し上げます。

Kuu and her team are asking everyone to only use the official re(LIVE) lightsticks - especially this time, cause they're remotely controlled.

Don't know how long cutting and editing a tour DVD takes, but maybe it's a possibility that we're getting it on November 13, like re(CORD)?

I think it's very unlikely we'll get it that soon... From what I remember it usually takes three to five months for her concerts to be released after filming, might take a little less since it's a hall tour but it's also a double concert, so I'm expecting a release in 2020. It'd be cool to pair it with a Best

Oh nooo chocopockymaster so devastating!!

For the DVD filming- I hope they know that many of the light sticks start glitching out. Some people’s flickered off when it wasn’t suppose to, some stopped changing colors, mine even turned green when everyone else's turned purple

@Gustavopc But it takes less time for them to broadcast the concert, when it's quite close to the final cut. It can happen in a month if they prepare beforehand, but it might not be the best that they can do. FANTASIA's TV cut was okay, and it took a week for the editing (between the live performance and the WOWOW footage). Of course the DVD was better, but it can happen. I wouldn't count on that but who knows.

I hope her voice is fine during the recording. Four shows in two days is a lot.

Do you guys think they will release STRIP next week? Rika starts this weekend, we will get part of the song from the episode, but it would be nice if it happens next wednesday.

STRIP will probably be the next digital single.
It's three weeks till the tour is over and six weeks till the album release.
Going to be interesting to see if they gonna release the last singles back to back or with a 2 weeks gap.

I know 1 month is not much time to put together a live DVD(Gustavo is right, DNA Tour e.g. was 4 months between recording and release), but it just struck me as odd they'd record dates in the middle of the tour and not the finals and it's exactly a month before the new album drops.

----------------------------

Kuu wrote a lengthy personal message for her FCs with a request to her fans.

Apparently Kuu and her team got reports of fans misbehaving/not following the rules at the venue in Kawasaki and Fukuoka.
Kuu doesn't mention what exactly went wrong apart from people not following the instructions of her staff and the security guards (tho last year with DNA Tour e.g. people in the first few rows didn't stay at their seats and try to run forward to the stage to try to high-five with Kuu - which is why for later dates they had warnings in the front rows not to do that for safety purposes).
She does apologize if there are fans feeling she'd prefer certain fans over others, cause that was never her attention. She wants everybody coming to her shows to enjoy them from start to finish and cherishes the support of everyone. And only together this is possible.

I honestly have mixed feelings about stuff like this.
And it does remind me of boygroup/girlgroup fan behaviour, like e.g. Hey! Say! Jump!'s fans who even managed to get the last arena tour cancelled because of stuff like that.

-------------------------------------------------

A new round of KLOOP goods for Round 1 game centres were announced already!



Bowls and plushies, cooking theme.
Available 10/12.

-------------------------------------

This is a nice video post about a girl winning the meet & greet with Kuu for one of the Fukuoka dates:
https://www.instagram.com/p/B3J8LIRn7QQ/

She says she didn't even plan to preorder the album at the venue, but for whatever reason she did - and won!
Great somebody filmed it.

Bad behaviour tends to be present in any celebrity's fandom it depends if you are lucky or unlucky in experiencing it

For Hey Say JUMP , their hod of fans disrupted the public transport services & the Shinkansen was not spared either , same thing happened with King & Prince's fans' antics

This year was so bad until HSJ cancelled their annual Summer domestic tour and they'll be performing at Taipei Arena this weekend instead which the last time they performed in Taiwan was in 2012

Due to this , Japanese fans put the unfair blame squarely verbally online on Taiwanese fans =_=

Anyway I hope Kuu will not let a few rotten apples in the fandom stop her from finishing the re(LIVE) tour month end successfully

Also if Kuu wanted to show favouritism she would have picked people backstage in advance , not on the spot :s

Damn, lucky her. Knowing my luck it is very unlikely that I’d win anything even if I pre-ordered 20 copies. Do you get to draw more than once if you pre-order more than one copy tho? You also mentioned before that you get a chance for meet and greet if you get those gold card & key right?

I knew they’d record October 12 & 13 dates.

chocopockymaster man, it really sucks that you didn’t get to meet her. I’m glad you at least got to enjoy the concert.

Here it is the STRIP preview from today's Rika episode https://twitter.com/TooruYell/status...06370052767744

So far it is not my favorite from reCORD, not my type of music I think.

Ah, no, the gold key/cards are for the lucky girl/boy segment at the concerts (being invited on stage).
Plus a 2nd random person with a black key/card around their neck.
And I actually don't know with the drawing as I never did it myself and I haven't checked the terms & conditions for it.

Uh, that actually sounds really good, much better than the first preview we got!

-----------------------------

Kuu recorded today for the album again and she says she's done now, though there's still a lot to do.
She also showed us a preview of the FC edition photobook. Looks like it's off-shots from album recording, PV shootings and so on this time.



She mentions it's 27 pages this time and also says it's more than last time, but she made a mistake then, cause AND/DNA had 32 pages each.
On the other hand she says in the hashtags, that this is only a first draft and there are a lot of photos to choose from, we should wait till there are more details announced.
So maybe this is still going to change.
