[REVIEW] BoA AT.2007 Made in 20 (Osaka 4/15 DVD Recording)

[atomicguy]

first of all, i had NO idea that the concert i was going to would be the DVD one, it is SO amazing, i just don't have enough words to describe the whole thing, i can't wait for you lot to watch "Lady Galaxy" "Rock With U" and "Everything needs Love"

it was crazy, i woke up at 5:30 am to get the trains (1 shinkansen from okayama to shin-osaka and 3 more regular trains to get to the arena).
i got there really early but i couldn't stay at the doors of the arena, it wasn't allowed (sp), so i went to the Osaka castle, took a walk in some malls, all very amazing, it's so beautiful.

the goods store opened at 1:30 pm, there wasn't many people but the candys (they're not on mu-mo website) sold out in like 20 minutes. at 3:00 pm i got into the arena (seat 57 row 33 on the floor area), 4:10 the show began.

it was very quiet at first but everyone got a free pen-light (because of the dvd shoot), along with the MIT Tour "magazine" and a paper explaining about the dvd. So i had 2 pen-lights with me. she sang "Gracious Days" twice,it was meant for her to sing another song to please the audience since it was the dvd recording, it was so funny she couldn't remember any so they decided to sing "Gracious Days" again.

the tracklist:

00 Opening - Clips from the past since her latest single, there was 3 big screens that had the logo from the tour until the start from the show, wents the lights went down the screen went a little up and started the opening

01 OUTGROW ~ready butterfly~ - after the clips she came out on the upper stage (were the band stayed) in a giant butterfly, and she stayed behind the screens until the middle of the song, after that she got rid of the wings and flew over the screens to the main stage with the dancers, it was AMAZING

02 SO REAL - i don' t really remember but she had a silver cape or something in Outgrow and this one it was a outfit that was under the previous one, a black top with a red stripe, the wig looked amazing

03 VALENTI - the screens were hidden in "So Real" and they went down to Valenti, lots of flames on the screen and all the lights were red-ish, the crowd started to get loud

04 STILL - she talked to the audience, we waved our pen lights for her and she went to the upper part of the stage with a lift and in the middle of the song there was another lift filled with lights and stuff, her vocals were perfect

05 DO THE MOTION - the crowd sang along to that one, nothing too special

06 Lady Galaxy - first proper outfit change, the screens showed BoA dressed as a flight attendant (sp) leavind her shinkansen and going to a spaceship, almost half of the performance was behind the screens that was a "window" of the spaceship and her and some female dancers danced inside, after that she went to the runway in the middle of the stage to the crowd and danced to little break, it was so good, one of the best ever

07 Silent Screamerz - she went to the lift in the middle stage and two of the screens has her in the same outfit dancing with her, it was a little like "Amazing Kiss" from the Arena Tour 2004.

08 Candle Light - before that we had the band introduction i think, i don't remeber, she showed up with a long brown wig in a tower that was very high on the stage, sang the whole thing there

09 LONG TIME NO SEE - she chatted a bit with the audience before that one, went beside her keyboard player and sang with the audience, this section of the show was a little boring

10 Winter Love - great lighting, only her and the stage

11 Prayer - she had a pink wig on this one, amazing outfit, but i don't remember a lot about it

12 Rock With You - this one was THE moment of the show for me, the whole runway went up (lifted) and made a giant runway up in the air (in the audience to the far back of the stage) there was lights and smoke under the the new runway, in the middle of the song she got a guitar and the dancers for another instruments and they went to the circle at the end of the runway and did a little break, their outfits and intruments shined under the black light (my english is not that good to explain), so crazy.

13 cosmic eyes - oh god i don't remeber :x

14 抱きしめる - that is my personal favourite, i screamed like a bastard on that one, she didn't mimed and her vocals were in cd quality, she danced perfectly and sang to whole thing without getting off-key, there was a explosion near the end

15 七色の明日～brand new beat～ - started right after Dakishimeru, the crowd went bananas

16 QUINCY - LOTS os lasers everywhere great lighting (apart from the giant screens there was a "thing" with lights just like "BoA the Live" but better, thw crowd danced ans song along

17 KEY OF HEART - it had a extended "la la las" so we could sing with her

-encore-

18 JEWEL SONG - she came in one of the doors in the middle of the arena, we screamed the entire time from the last song until the beggining of the encore, and there was a camera with her walking from her dressing room till' the stage, so she cheered up with us on the screens, it was so cute, her vocals on the song were so good, she sang in the lift on the circle at the end of the runway

19 Sweet Impact - BoA asked if we wanted to hear the new single, AMAZING dance routine, her vocals were SO good (better than the cd in my opinion). it didn't look like a encore song, so well produced with the lighting and stuff

20 Everything needs love -
the giant screens went a little down showing the lyrics in some VERY cool background and the runway lifted once again until the end to the stage, she sang with some dancers and lots of lasers, it jumped and screamed like a bastard

21 Gracious Days - the lyrics were on the giant screens with a close up in her face, everyone sang along, so cute, and, after she said goodbye everyone started screaming "moikai" and she started talking again, and since it was the dvd recording she decided to sing another song and she explained that this wasn't meant to happen, even a producer came onstage to talk to boa to see what she wanted for the band to do, after lots of laughs and talk she decided to sing a clip from Gracious Days again. after that there was a lot of clapping and her final goodbye.


amazing stage, set list, the backing vocals were the same as Boa THE LIVE but they got SO much better, they actually sound like womans now, their english is perfect on the tracks too, her wigs ALL looked amazing (unlike the photos that was leaked).

heres a picture of the good that i got (the two pictures that looks like postcards are stickets that i bought from a non-oficial "store" near the train station and the necklace i bought there too (it's the logo from the tour)



the botleg stickers and the necklace with the tour logo engraved (each sticker was 300 yen and the necklace was 800 yen)
