And I'm not trying to be biased here, but Koda Kumi is an excellent performer..
She knows how to work a stage and keep the audience entertained!!
She might not have the fancy props like Ayu does but she does one hellova show!!
I'd know, I went to the Black Cherry Finale at Tokyo Dome...

As for the lipsync... Koda Kumi rarely lipsyncs!!!
I've only noted once where she lipsynced and that was on her first Live DVD (Trust You Performance)...
Other than that she doesn't.....
The so called "lip syncing" everyone is talking about is the playback she does...
For reasons unknown, Kuu's been deprived of a band until recently...
So they use playback for her music and they don't use backup singers so they use her own voice...
Thus there are times when she stops singing and the playback takes over...



The tickets were 7,777 yen for the Tokyo Dome performance..
And the normal tour ones were 6000 something yen...



Not really...
Most of them were whole songs... While some of the songs were cut short (ie. Love Holic, Chase, Come With Me, Come Over)....
Kuu only had 3hours at Tokyo Dome and she wanted to show off alot so some of the songs on the normal tracklist lost their 2nd verse...

Most songs were 1st verse + chorus + bridge/final chorus...
it was an awesome show though!!! We couldn't get enough of her!!!




She sang everything... You'll be seeing less and less of that screaming stuff now..
Especially since she's doing Arena Tours now...
I actually liekd the screaming, its great interaction between her and the audience...
Like her ~first things~ tour where she had the audience sing along to Take Back...
And then in ~second session~ there was alot of screaming and waving and stuff....

The Tokyo Dome performance didn't have either... but everyone did the usual wave and stuff either way....
Its too big for her to interact with the audience that way... but she still manages to get some chat time with us.. =D
Yay! Thanks god so we'll get some full sanged songs!
The intercation with the audience is good, but I prefer that it won't take most of the concert, and as you say hopefully it didn't happen on the ARENA TOUR, so I'm happy ^_^.
Thanks for the review by the way!
