On November 13, Koda Kumi marked her 42nd birthday in the most intimate and heartfelt way — by connecting directly with fans through a special live broadcast on KKApp, her official fanclub platform.

The livestream, held exclusively for her dedicated “Koda Gumi,” created a warm digital gathering where Kumi shared laughter, stories, behind-the-scenes reflections, and gratitude for the support she continues to receive throughout her long career.

Radiant and relaxed, Kumi looked genuinely moved by the flood of birthday messages and comments pouring in during the live session. Fans described the broadcast as “cozy,” “unfiltered,” and “so Kumi-like,” praising her for taking time out of her packed schedule — including recent major TV appearances and brand collaborations — to celebrate directly with them.

During the session, she spoke about:

her memories of the past year,

her wishes for the future,

and her excitement for the new projects currently unfolding, including the De-code tour and her latest beauty releases.

The livestream felt like a digital birthday party, complete with moments of humor, emotional gratitude, and plenty of fan interaction. It once again highlighted Koda Kumi’s unique ability to maintain a close, authentic relationship with her supporters — even after more than two decades in the spotlight.

Her 42nd birthday became not just a celebration of her life and career, but also a celebration of the community she has built.
