Hello~ Went to the live straight from work, run my ass off to the hall:thud

This is my review:

Short opening movie
There're lots of bats flying, then Kuu's face appeared, has a witch-like make-up; singing or talking, i barely could hear because of the crowd; then bats again.

1. Lay Down
She appeared from the middle door, just like you saw from the previous post stage image. She wore a black cloth just like the one she wore at Kingdom tour OP. Then later she stripped to a sexy black outfit; not revealing the upper part too much, and swimsuit like for the bottom part.

2. UNIVERSE
3. ECSTASY
Fun as always!! Performance with live-band is always great!
The band members wore neon-like Halloween costumes (skulls and etc) and located on each of the window on the background.

MC
She mentioned that the next song has never been sung on tour before (expect for normal live performance)
4. Candy

5. Hot Stuff
as usual, divided the crowd into 2 parts.

So, there were lots of MC during ballads. She mentioned in one of them, that during her debut, she was not allowed to insert any MC on her performances; cause she was told that she was boring (what?! she's joking probably)

Then, on her debut time, she was also not allowed to sing/release ballads, because she didn't have "angelic voice" and her voice wasn't fit for ballads. The company wanted her to sing and dance; and she'd been doing that til gentle words/kiseki era. Then the company finally let her do what she wanted with the songs.

6. 最后の雨
Reaaaaaallllyyyy gooooddd!! She reached the highest note perfectly. Momma kuu doesn't lip-sync beeetch! :lech

MC (She surely talks like.. a lot, but it's always amusing)

7. you

MC

8. Rain（Unplugged Version）

9. You're so Beautiful（Acoustic Version）

MC

10. ONE
Short one, but good!

11. Can We Go Back (Prog5 Handz-Up Electro Remix) -short
12. POP DIVA (KOZM(R) Remix Lucas Valentine) -short
13. Hey baby! (FUTURE HOUSE UNITED Remix) -short
14. Whatchu Waitin' On?
Her dance-mix tracks played on concert always make you wanna hit the club!
She danced a lot!

MC
there were surprise guests here; 3 guys.. and i'm so sorry that i don't know any of them. Maybe gennojin (entertainer) or comedian..
well, only small-talk about the live and kuu's birthday on Nov 13th.

15. Dreaming Now！
Those who think the song and the dance aren't fit altogether, should really go to the live. With the live-band, it really sounds different.

16. Good☆day

She mentioned that the next song is "not-on-sale-yet" (probably gonna be in the album?)
17. Bring It On
Fun song, with kuu rapping and dancing.

So after the live, they played Dreaming Now! and 1 other song on repeat, which I assume to be XXX. It has lyric like: Boys like/love bad girls. It's a electro-dance track, which kinda remind me of Gangnam-style :innocent
Personally, I find XXX really good; especially when you hear it live or on the club.

aye~ finished! I definitely want to watch the live again on DVD!

Thanks for the review, the show sounds fun :)

I wish I could...

Thanks a lot the review! It seemed to be full a concert so full of joy :heart Ansious for Lay Down, Candy, Saigo no ame and Dreaming Now!, I do hope they release this tour later, even if just for FC. Also ansious for XXX :D

I really hope it's on the next album as bonus concert DVD :)

A live band and lot of dancing! :heart

I love the pv, good location in a summer feeling

The concert sounds so good! Question: were there back-up dancers present at all?

I'd love if this was tacked on to a CD+2DVD edition of her next album. :heart

Thanks a lot for the review. I love that my favorite song from her, Gentle Words, was her first time getting to release a ballad single of her own desire. And damn, Avex really put her through the ringer during her debut years.

I would rather that this concert come out on Blu Ray, than on the album.

Rhythm Zone has begun to release CD+Blu-Ray albums.

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCD-59481

I believe this is their first Blu-Ray album release so Kuu's next album will most likely be released in Blu-Ray as well :love

We just have to hope that Avex deems Kuu worthy of Blu Ray albums.

Probably Kuu will find no problems getting Blu Ray albums, she's one the top selling artists of RZ and her studio albums have all been charting at #1 since Black Cherry iirc :) I just hope they don't put BR only for expensive flamboyant limited versions...

Official lyrics of Dreaming Now are out: http://www.uta-net.com/song/154276/

I didn't notice she was singing 'winner cup' lol

I heard "winner cup" but though it was just Engrish rofl

I've never understood the problem with Dreaming Now's dance. I think it's awesome and fits the song perfectly. :D I can already imagine all those energetic live performances too♥

Oh, XXX is a electropop song like Gangnam Style? I NEED that in my life! 8D

I don't think it's the dance but more the location and her overall styling, it looks like she should work it to some urban Juicy-esque jam. I did like the video for being so dance orientated though, i didn't know she had those moves in her!

However with that being said, the breakdown of both the song and video >>>> the rest. That drop goes HARD! It deserved to be a part of a much stronger song overall.

For me I don't like the breakdown much, it's my least favourite part of the song.
Though Dreaming Now! is my jam! It's on repeat and everything I wanted Summer Trip to be.

I thought it was "Gonna win the cup" lol

^''win a coke'' I tought xD
