^ Indeed... I got so excited about her summer releases last year when they announced it, but then to be honest none of the songs felt summery enough for me. I did like the songs, especially We'll Be OK, but it just needed to go an extra mile for it to feel like a proper summer anthem to me Hopefully the ikemen series theme song will have that vibe, or maybe even another future release.

Want to say the WOWOW Prime's INVITATION programme was so good
WOWOW really gave Kuu top billing Performances wise , some of Kuu's best in a long time & she sung all the songs in FULL which's even rarer especially as the programme was pre taped & not live broadcast WHO was great , you was a standout & to see Kuu in a mess even before she finished singing 100 no Kodoku Tachi e , T_T

Random Request, but does anyone have KK's "to be free" single cover without the title text in Large HQ?

Absolutely ADORE the covers!! They're gorgeous!!
Just the content on the FC edition is a little lackluster. A documentary used to be a regular thing included on all her regular live DVDs/Blurays. Also, I got the tour documentary, 2 live CDs and small photobooklet when I bought the deluxe edition of W FACE TOUR 2017 and it didn't cost anywhere near ¥16500. I know there's also the mini tote bag in this case, but it still doesn't seem like enough to warrant that price. It's incredible how much the cost of stuff has gone up. Very sad too.

Yeah, ever since reCORD/reLIVE I feel like the FC bundles are way too expensive. I guess it's just how things are nowadays, with less people buying her stuff there are less copies to dilute the fixed costs of produtction. So the price goes up. But then they also started making things in bigger and heavier boxes, which makes the overseas shipping costs go way too high, and therefore also the fees I pay here in Brazil. I feel sad cause I was up to date with her tours and studio albums until AND, but after that just couldnt keep up with everything...

KODA KUMI ~Special Talk Show 2022~ goods that will be sold at the talk show venue/s
https://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1100399 Also I personally start to notice that from W Face onwards , the number of photos that Kuu included in her albums decrease drastically For heart , she only included 4 photos in the album sleeve despite the 6,600 Yen cost charged for both the DVD & Blu-ray versions And the CD case ain't the thick one that her past studio albums used :c Nowadays the more better stuff are usually reserved for fanclub members but it's not just her , other artistes are also in this same situation too

!!NEWS UPDATE!!
I have just spoken with CDJapan and avex has pulled another jerk move not allowing KK'S L&S 2022 DVD/BLURAY to be shipped overseas. This also means it will not be posted on the website for purchase whatsoever. |

^ They could reverse the export ban eventually ?
Anyway this's stupid & makes 0 sense considering that avex has been losing $ way before the COVID-19 pandemic happened :c

I've preordered the FC edition after having some money luck. I just decided wth and bought it since I could, so hopefully avex won't cancel it. I must say though that avex banning the OS shipments of the FC editions of re(CORD) & angeL+monsteR made very little sense either. With re(CORD) they claimed it was because of the song Rich & Famous. However the regular editions of the album were still allowed to be shipped internationally. And with A+M they said it was cause of the Urusei Yatsura Suki de MV, yet the MV was publicly on YouTube for ANYONE to watch ANYWHERE in the world. Sometimes I wonder if they start many of their business meetings asking how they can upset global fans.

are they trying to pull a stunt? last time this happened they reverse it last minute... hopefylly they'll work this out on time. I guess they don't have plans to expand like korea, and the Olympics fugde it all for all of them. As long as she does well in japan that's what matters and I'm ok with that .

@ILoveGeniuses If you wish to know , even the Johnnys whose material that avex distributes (Kis-My-Ft2 , Snow Man) are not spared from this ridiculous decision either :c
For Kuu's heart album , my Kyoto based friend was so gracious to buy a copy for me in the CD shop as I have no idea if either CDJapan or HMV Japan could mail it to me Others are not as lucky as me in that they have to rely on middleman services but it shouldn't be this way In fact I wonder why it's only recently that this happen ? All the while there were no problems avex allowing overseas fans to buy their artistes' material except on 1 or 2 occasions But now it's like a back to back thing ? Like you said sometimes I also wonder during meetings avex conduct , they probably come up with a list of 'excuses' on why so & so's material cannot be exported out of Japan -_- That said I do hope your Love & Songs video release order will not be cancelled :x

Maybe from a business point of view , it wouldn't be good for avex to say why they have this ridiculous export sales ban rule
But for consumers that leads to coming up countless wild ideas & thoughts on why this happen For better or for worst

Really strange… CDjapan handles all the international shipping so I don’t understand why Avex would stop it…
Jpop is already dead, you’d think they’d try to get every last yen possible lol. One thing I could think of is… it might be hard to gauge how many of each item to send out now, and they don’t want to deal with the left over items if they go unsold? Because jpop sells so low now, it might not be worth the trouble? But who knows really… Avex hasn’t made sense in years.
