【KODA KUMI 10th Anniversary FANTASIA 2010.12.5 at Tokyo Dome】

Chapter 1: Joy

Starts with Kuu walking, the movie shows her sexy legs walking in luxurious high heels. When she enter a LIBRARY
And she opens a book
The scenary is a BIG library! THE BIGGEST SCREENS I'VE EVER SEEN FROM HER!

Start: We can see only her silhouette over the lihgt

She asks: DO YOU KNOW WHERE I AM?


1.Butterfly

She flies from the back top to the stage!!! She was incredible using a purple dress with butterfly wings!

2.show girl
she takes out the purple outfit, and she's dressed with some mini-dress with tail (like show girl performance from TRICK Tour) It was yellow!

3.Cherry Girl

Very cool!

4.Ima sugu hoshii

REALLY SEXY! She took out the tail from the yellow outfit

5.Lolipop

Same choreography

6.Crazy 4 U

Same choreography

Chapter 2: Anger

The movie shows Koda Kumi Joy(sexy) x Koda Kumi Anger (rock)
When they "fight" against each other
by the end she says it's ok because they're both Koda Kumi.
And the screen asked us to shake the red light

7.Selfish

Very COOL, but the outfit wasn't the best, but it was cool anyway.
She did the chain choreography again and also that ending

8.Ningyo hime

Coo, she takes a rock singer microphone

9.we will rock you~real Emotion~BUT~FREAKY

She was in the middle stage! HER ENGLISH WAS PRETTY COOL

Chapter 3: Sadness
One of the most funniest videos. A cry-over-the-top Koda Kumi appears. We have to shake the blue lights for her stop to cry. When she stops, she starts crying again out from nothing! And everytime the Anger Koda Kumi irritates her and she cries. But when she cries a lot a BIG wave comes and get everybody wet.

10.Ai no Uta
A blue tacky outfit that I didn't like at all, but her hair was pretty cool.

11.Rain~Promise~Anata dake ga~come back
REALLY COOL, but ***** forgot some lyrics as she always does xD

12.0Ji mae no Cinderella

Pretty, she was sitting in the stair

13.TAKE BACK(Accoustic guitar ver.)

PRETTY PRETTY!

14.Moon Crying
15.Ai no Kotoba

She was in the top of something xD

Chapter 4: Pleasure

This Koda Kumi was the CUTEST ONE EVER! She was so happy dancing and singing...everybody laughed a lot of her happiness.

16.Koi no Tsubomi

OMFG!!! JESUS CHRIST! WWHAT WAS THAT OUTFIT??? HER BEST OUTFIT EVER!!! EVER EVER EVER! I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I SAW HER SHE WAS ****ING CUTE OMG GOMGOMGOMGO She flied, and also a huge book flied too.

17.Inside Fishbowl

THAT WAS AWESOME! IT MADE ME LOVE THE SONG EVEN MORE!
They showed the Koda Kumis frmo the pvs, and also there were 2 spaces in the middle of them, one occupied by Kuu and the other one by Shinnosuke. They made the same choreography from the PV! That was hella cute!!!

18.Gentle Words
19.Someday

WEN3.WIND
WEN4.walk

She get on the top of the ribbon and it lifts her up. She flies to the main stage.

There's a HUGE book, and it opens, also 3 pages...and then she enters the book and it closes!

Then there was a message which i forgot! But this time nothing like To be continued. THANKS GOD! hahaha

Later if I remember more, I come and tell!!


★ Report by Psychotic_X @ JPM
Spoiler:

I just got home... ill do a quick review now using the setlist provided cause i forgot some of it...
in general it was a good show.. but nothing spectacular for her 10th year anniversary tbh...
her black cherry special final at tokyo dome was more extravagant

The opening was Kuu walking through a library and she opens the book called "The Legend of Koda Kumi"...
she blows a kiss and a butterfly appears and then the screen blanks and the lights move around...
until it shines on the end of the catwalk at the top and there's Kuu and she's in the butterfly outfit...

Chapter 1: Joy (PINK)
1.Butterfly*
2.show girl*
3.Cherry Girl*
4.Ima sugu hoshii
5.Lolipop
6.Crazy 4 U

* For these songs she sang only a bit of the song.. the verse and the chorus and then she changed to the next one...
Then it shows Kuu walking around and then theres like an explosion of some sort..
and shes fighting with another Kuu (but dressed in black)... and they have an arguement and then it turns into the Angry section

Chapter 2: Anger (RED)
7.Selfish
8.Ningyo hime
9.we will rock you~real Emotion~BUT~FREAKY

After the pink Kuu and the black Kuu fight... they run into a white Kuu whos crying..
and when she cries she causes the water to run.... and she cried so much they got wiped out by a massive wave...
This lead to the Sadness section...

Chapter 3: Sadness (BLUE)
10.Ai no Uta
[Short MC]
11.Rain~Promise~Anata dake ga~come back *
12.0Ji mae no Cinderella
13.TAKE BACK(Accoustic guitar ver.)
14.Moon Crying
15.Ai no Kotoba

* She was explains that her 10 years being a singer has gone by so quickly even though 10 years is a long time..
and she talks about how 5 years of it was really hard for her.. and that she wants to sing some old songs..

After the white Kuu, the pink Kuu and the black Kuu come back on the screen...
they go into this happy place... where they see this Kawaii Kuu-chan..
and then Kuu realises that her journey over the last 10 years has been a mixture of emotions..
there were Joyful moments (PINK), Angry moments (RED) and Sad moments (BLUE)...
then she takes the hand of the Kawaii Kuu chan and then it leads to the next section...

Chapter 4: Pleasure (YELLOW)
16.Koi no Tsubomi
17.Inside Fishbowl
18.Gentle Words
19.Someday
20.Lick me

For the encore video... the Kuu that opened the book comes up on the screen..
and she tells everyone to play a game with her.. Kinda like those DDR, guitar hero types..
shes like in ur left hand use the Pink and the right use the Blue and then play these songs with me...
After 2 levels she starts the encore..

Encore:
EN1.BE MY BABY
EN2.Megumi no Hito
EN3.UNIVERSE
EN4.Dance Part
EN5.It's all Love!(w/misono)

W Encore
WEN1.COME WITH ME~Ready Go!~So Into You~WON'T BE LONG~TABOO~Trust Your Love~Chase~Cutie Honey~No Regret~love across the ocean -remix-~Come Over
WEN2.Suki de suki de Suki de
[MC with Shintaro and Misono]
WEN3.WIND
WEN4.walk

The ending starts with Kuu singing walk and shes riding on this giant bow..
the same kind thats on the FANTASIA goods... so she rides on it down the catwalk to the mainstage..
and then at the end of it she does some acrobatic stuff and then at the bottom of the stairs theres a book...
and she lands in the book..
then the screen starts and its like....

Tomorrow Koda Kumi will begin her 11th year. She will continue to sing and to make you smile.
Or something along those lines and that was it....

In general the show was good...
The yellow corset outfit was the best... after that it was kinda gross..
especially the Black dyke look she was going for with the wig....

Once again guys theres NO band... the staging was rather simple...
the screens at the back moved around from time to time..
and the circular catwalk section lit up and lifted into the air.....

The goods line wasnt too bad but they sold out of alot of things..
including the glowsticks.. so I didnt get to use a glowstick!! GRRRR...
also they were trying to keep with the colour theme so there were notices around saying that if you brought your glowstick from last time.. please dont use it...

yeah, but I do already think dejavu is going to be a lot better. I was only impressed with You're so beautiful and No way on UNIVERSE and the rest is either really bland or just bad. I'm already impressed with Hey baby, Melting, Anata dake ga, Aitakute, and POP DIVA is growing on me so dejavu is looking a lot better to me.

Yeah I agree, a lot of the sounds on UNIVERSE weren't bad, they just fell short/didn't quite "take it to the brink" as I like to say. Stay could have been really good and like anytime pt.2 but it just didn't get "there." Did that make sense for anyone?

Album track wise, I really like No Way, You're So Beautiful, SUPERSTAR and UNIVERSE (and Stay sometimes). But I did think that TRICK was a lot better than UNIVERSE...don't know how Dejavu will stack up, but we shall wait and see~ Can't wait!

Thanks for the thread Corvina!
I think it's alright but I just really don't like the Engrish. If the whole song was in Japanese I'd like it a whole lot more.

The only song that I don't like on Universe is Work It Out!, I listen to every other song, liking them to various degrees.

^ OMG.

I don't really like Stay much. The chorus is just not good for me. You're So Beautiful is ok but still not all the way there for me. But as someone mentioned before, I too like UNIVERSE because there really aren't many tracks that I just hate and can't stand. Thank God they left Hashire off for that matter. Lol.

This, we can agree on.

EDIT: I should say, I don't hate it, but I don't think it needs to be on album. I like it as simply a b-side.

EDIT 2: Btw, I'm looking to buy two Kuu singles, 3 Splash Jacket B aka CD+DVD+remixes+basketball cover version. I'd also like a First Press version of Freaky CD+DVD, but I really want 3 Splash. Both Japan versions.

I thought Universe was good. It's simply just, an album full of songs that were a maturation of different styles that she's been experimenting with since...idk Black Cherry? For her it's good...

but I think she's mixing up sounds more now for Deja Vu...even if she still has the, characteristic cutesy song and stuff, they seem to draw from more influences, and I think it might make for more interesting stuff, and it might be better.

My day/night just got better!!

Although, I don't think its her tweeting. She is live on UStream, but there are new tweets coming out. Plus, it says "Kuu-chan blah blah blah" I wonder if she will start tweeting herself after it ends??

If Kuu got a twitter, that's only good reason to get one for me.

And I'm watching Kuu Stream now. She's cute ^_^ She's definitely having fun there on the radio. I wish I knew what they're talking about but that Dejavu/POP DIVA add is playing on repeat there lol. Oh well, luckily I see my goddess

//omg, ads ended and she talks <3
