I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, jiarongisme!
I assume btw. that re(live) is the last piece of the whole cycle with double concept projects she started with Winter and Summer of Love. The next one she's planning now is probably something 20th anniversary related and goes in another direction. ------------------------------------------------------------------- I thought I'd make an overview of her schedule for the next months: June 21 - News Hotto Kansai TV appareance June 26 - TV Tokyo "Tere to Ongakusai" music festival TV live (live show) June 27 - HMV&BOOKS OKINAWA Opening event - talkshow July 3 - Digital release of "Eh Yo" July 13 - Music Fair TV live (Hibari Misora special episode, pre-recorded) July 20 - a-nation Aomori July 28 - ASEAN-Japan Music Festival 2019 in VIETNAM (live broadcasted by Vietnamese TV) August 18 - a-nation Osaka September 14 - start of re(live) tour Btw. here's the event site for the HMV store opening: https://www.hmv.co.jp/store/event/38476/ Topic of the talkshow is Kuu's last book, "Customs of a Beautiful Body". They expect the opening to be crowded, which is why you had to apply for the talkshow beforehand. People taking part have to buy a copy of the book, apart from that it's free. Except the 30 fans selected from her FC, those are invited. The next round of new Kloop goods for the Round 1 game centers were announced as well (13th round, I think): EDIT: Some footage of the Kansai News interview today: https://www.instagram.com/p/By9_0hNH...=1pq2eoeo5mvwr Kuu is speaking about the content of the song and you can see and hear more unreleased footage of the Eh Yo performance from last Saturday.

Thank you!! Fingers crossed on this, though I'm pretty sure I'll have to go to the resellers anyway because I wanna go to the Black Cherry show as well.

She actually started the double concept with BEST third universe, which had those promo posters with the sweet and edgy style, for the compilation and original album. Interesting that she started her 10s anniversary and is ending pretty much the same way.

Yeah, Best ~third universe ~ was the first time she used it, but after her 15th anniversary she started a whole cycle with it, only using double concepts with identity as broader theme.
It is pretty neat actually - with W Face she explored two different sides of her and with W Face Tour her road to let her sides become one (aka accepting herself as she is/ being accepted like she is from outside - leading to AND/DNA, a summary and synopsis of her current self). And now that new promo pic for re(live) shows herself as a unit you can't really divide, because of her entwined arms. No side without the other. Like a climax. If you know what I mean.

To me her "duality" concepts started on feel my mind, there are two of her in the cover in a yin/yang way and the shooting also plays a bit with duals as she's either laying down in white clothes in a white bg, or dancing against a black bg. secret also had a secret part in the booklet which also plays with duality. It's been a lot here and there in her work, (Yume no uta/futari de and Inside/Outside Fishbowl easily come to my mind), not to mention Fantasia having four personas/feelings hahaha But as Corvina pointed out, she took it further since her 15th anniversary. I wonder if the ending of reLIVE tour will somehow ending with a merging of Kumis or something like that lol

Ah, you're right, feel my mind was the first.
But like you mentioned I always thought she was depicting Yin and Yang there, which is more of an abstract concept. With Best ~third universe~ she took it to a personal level the first time (the old Kuu for the best album, the light side, and the current Kuu with the dark edgy space theme directed towards future for the new album). But then I take a look at grow into one, which already had the the theme of identity and acceptance, and notice that W FACE is like a combination of her old album themes! Every artist has recurring themes in their work, like a trademark. For Kuu it's duality and identity, for Ayu it's loneliness and her one-wing metaphor. And those themes make sense if you look at the artist's vitas. Every artist is therefore recycling, it's inevitable, the art is to give it a twist to something new. Luckily Kuu and her team are pretty good at that. Btw. you can also take the new re(live) promo pic a step further, cause she is forming a triangle (or several) with her hands and face, hehe. Such a simple pic, but pretty effective in context. Or you only look at it and simply admire the beauty and nostalgia.

Kuu was in the studio today with T-SK and Hide Kawada, the producers who made SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA, IS THIS TRAP? and XXX for her.
That's a very promising outlook!
