Hey everyone, I was at the first show on April 9th and I have to say that it was absolutely amazing! It was my first time seeing Kuu live and she slayed! From start to finish it was nonstop energy! Her vocals sounded really good, especially considering that she was still recovering from being sick, and her dancing was on point! I post a short review in a spoiler.

Spoiler:

She messed up during the performance “hands” right before the bridge. From what I remember she started singing too early and it was the wrong lyrics, so she paused for a second, said “machigatta” (I made a mistake) and laughed. It was really cute! There was also a point during “I’ll be there for you” where she started to sing too early but then just stopped and smiled at the audience. Again that was really cute!
The performance of “Koi no tsubomi” is where she invites fans to come on stage with her. The dancers picked two girls from the audience, and they went on stage and sat at a table with Kuu while the dancers brought out tea and cake for them. Then Kuu fed a spoonful of cake to each of the girls.

For me the highlights of the night were Real Emotion, Moon Crying, love across the ocean, Can We Go Back, Pop Diva, Crazy 4 U, and Dance In The Rain.

Kuu does an aerial performance while singing Moon Crying which was really beautiful.

During “Can We Go Back” she gets strapped to a giant cross that lifts her from the lower stage onto the upper part of the stage. During the performance Kuu and the dancers also use the glowing wands from the “Taboo” performance from “The Artist” tour. At the end of the performance Kuu turned around and jumped/fell backwards off the top part of the stage for the dancers to catcher her, leading into Ningyo Hime.

While waiting for the encore to start the audience sang the first chorus of “suki de” but during the last line, instead of singing “anata ga igai nanimo iranai” we sang “Kumiko igai nanimo iranai”

Kuu also said that since she has so many singles, and had to decide on a set list so quickly that there would be changes for the second day (which there were, and will probably be more throughout the rest of the tour.)

That's all I can think of for now. Overall it was an amazing live, and I'm definitely going to try to go again if I get the chance!
