My concert review:
1. Hide & Seek: Awesome performance, even though we saw it as a pv for promotion, it felt as if I hadn't seen it before.
2. Full Moon: I expected amazing, and I got it, Namie stuns me with everything she does, choreography was GREAT and vocals were definately up to par.
3. It's all about you: Okay, I didn't expect much dancing as the song is difficult to follow along to vocally, but Namie managed to get through all the fast parts, once she got through the verses it seems like she was relieved to get to the hook...lol
4. butterfly: AMAZING!!!...I loved this song when I heard it on the All For You single, and now I LOVE it even more now that I've heard it live.
5. DARLING: I adore the waitress act, it's cute, and the choreography was to die for, I couldn't have asked for a better performance of this song.
6. Come: FANTASTIC VOCALS!!!!!!!!!!...COME MYYYYY WAYYYYY, simply beautiful.
7. Luvotomy: I expected some great choreography...didn't get great, but it was decent, and all I cared for was the visuals behind her and her vocals.
8. Should I Love Him?: Although I wish she would've done her high notes I understand that she was exhausted already, seeing the sweat run down her face made me smile, she gives soooooo much.
9. Girl Talk: I love the street signs, this tour is definately keeping the PLAY image with all of the props and what not, I absolutely love her vocals, much more improved than that of the SOHP and LS tours.
10. Funky Town: The outfits, I love how all the dancing aren't wearing the same thing for once...lol...I love in the first verse how she's just chilling on the stairs with a dancer, it was cute for a change, and a lot of smiling.
11. Hello: LOVED IT, LOVED IT as usual I'm not surprised about great dancing, and vocally she was was great, but of course that damn "Even on the telephone I say, Hello" got her, I hate it!
12. 人魚:She really let it all out on this song, very impressive vocally, and she looks GORGEOUS!
13. Baby Don't Cry: Very cute, lots of smiling, and definately a fan favorite, I'm sure every person there was singing along.
14. Step With It: As usual Namie being the big dancer/singer I was very impressed that this song came out better than I though it was going to, at first it seemed as if it was going to be a bore, but it turned out to be at least one of my top 5 fave performance of this concert.
15. Chase the Chance: I simply love the fact that it starts out the way you won't expect it to, and when she touched that fan's hand, I would cry, and then faint...a dream I'll never fulfill...like Alessia said I agree she needs to make an album with newer vocal versions of her older songs.
16. Can't Sleep, Can't Eat, I'm Sick: Very cute how Amura opens it up, and the doctor with that mallet...lol...it was just cute, awesome performance, and I'm loving the gold boots!
17. Want Me, Want Me: FINALLY a FULL VERSION of the performance, I prefer this over any other....why?...well because the choreography is HOT!!! GRRROWL!
18. Violet Sauce(Spicy): So much better this time around...although I LOVED the cloaks in LS tour, the choreography was much better and tighter without them.
19. Top Secret: Yet another amazing performance, this is definately top 3, I love when the stage does the countdown to "Back to the beat", choreography exactly what I expected, and she was just sexy, How can anyone resist her?
20. Pink Key: AMAZING vocals, I love this performance a lot!!!, IT LITERALLY gave me chills when the song started out and she walked out onto the stage.
21. Can You Celebrate?: I love the Acapella intro to the song, she did GREAT, and I love this version, it's so much different than that of the others, but in a good way, the guitar gave it a little sizzle...and her vocals made the song BEAUTIFUL once again!
22. Say the word (Breeze House Mix): Loved it, very high energy and I never payed attention the this mix very much until I started listening to her singles one day just to hear b-sides and all that jazz. Very sexy when Hide came out with the whip and danced with two other dancers...LOL
One downfall...my husband Tetsuharu dyed his hair, you can't even tell it's him from past concerts... ...he's still sexy as hell though!
OVERALL:This concert IS A PERFECT 10!!!...you can't get any better than this, the previews IMO were VERY misleading, because this concert presented itself in a high standard, definately more diverse from previous concerts of hers in quite a few ways. I think she read a thread back when we said she doesn't smile while performing, because in this concert she smiled a lot!...LMAO.
