first of all, i'd like to thank kuu-chan, all the staff and everyone here for making peeproom possible ! i know it's been said countless times before but it's just so amazing to be able to share kuu-love with other fans :)
i've been a fan for quite some time now, keeping up to date with koda kumi news, buying every new album and concert dvd, going crazy at every new picture or update.
when i was still in high school, i made myself promise that one day, i will make it to japan and i will see koda kumi live in concert ~ it's been years later and now i can proudly say, i've been to a koda kumi concert ! throughout the whole time i was waiting for kuu-chan to come out of that gigantic rose of a stage, i was seriously shaking uncontrollably. i cannot count the number of times i've watched and rewatched her live dvds, seeing it for real was just ... seriously if i could describe it accurately - breathtaking and emotional. as i watched kuu-chan sing her first song, i felt a surge of emotion take over me. i was not dreaming. i was not watching a dvd. this is real life. i travelled over 5000 kms to see this amazing woman do what she does best and she sure did not disappoint !
koda kumi, you are truly amazing ! even though my japanese is bad, i don't need to understand the lyrics of the song to know that you are singing it with all your heart. your love for the stage, for the music, for your crew and your never ending love for your fans really makes you a world class performer. people from all over the world will be following you forever kuu-chan, and i'm just one tiny person ^^
thank you so much for not leaving us. i know its a huge decision and the future seems unpredictable, especially with so many new responsibilities now that you have a family. i can assure you, koda kumi fans will always support koda kumi, no matter what happens !! i felt so much love at the concert, everyone united together, supporting kuu-chan together, it was truly an amazing experience, so many voices at the one time, singing our support. when you came back out on stage you felt it too and as a fan i am so grateful that i admire and support someone like you.
please continue to spread your music, talent and love around the world ! and again お帰りなさい!
