[Koda Kumi] The 185th Thread - LIVE TOUR 2016 ~BEST SINGLE COLLECTION~

[Isicio]

I think this is a normal release pattern:
2015: Original Album + Collection Album
2016: Collection Album
2017: Original Album

I mean there is only one year without a new album release, like Namie Amuro when she released Best Fiction, Checkmate and Ballada. Ayumi Hamasaki with A BEST, A BEST 2, FIVE, A SUMMER BEST, so I don't see the problem here, and last year she released an Original album plus a Collection album so is a lot of material compared with ayu and namie in some years ^^

This is my favorite ballad and I love that kuu gets so emotional when singing it :')

Basically Rain was never picked till that show, which was the final show of the tour. So they were pretty shocked. Pretty cute.

Thank you so much! it was pretty cute indeed, I love Kuu's smile so much :3

But it's a little strange tho, if this was the final show then it was the one recorded for the bluray. However "Always" is the song included in the recording and not my "Rain" D:

True! When I remind myself of that it makes me feel fortunate to be her fan.

[ayumisrael]

OMG that Rain performance <3
I love that song to pieces.

[Corvina]

@maze:
They recorded a bunch of the fan section songs. Rain from the final date is on the bonus disc along with some others.
Idk why they replaced it in the main disc with Always.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^maybe for exactly that reason...maybe Rain seemed to unpopular because it was only requested once. only explanation with sense.

[Corvina]

Yeah, this may be the reason.
But they also cut HURRICANE from the DVD, although she performed it at the final and it is still part of the WOML Tour live CD they sold ( and it was also shown in live footage at TV news).

I love Mercedes
and her outfit looks awesome!

[chocopockymaster]

She is smokin' hot; oh my god

[kaled kalil]

- The concert had some sort of a 360º camera at the end of the catwalk, kinda distracting. It's not used for the M!ON footage tho.
- BUT ~ Lollipop had the FNS transition.
- It was raining during the whole set, but it wasn't as bad as when Ayu was performing.

Overall it was a good performance, better than last year. This first raw footage had some problems with the sound, but it was fine. She's looking good and the energy is there, as always.

[Minttulatte]

Good setlist imo. I just wish she had ditched Poppin' love cocktail and replaced it with With your smile or girls but oh well, at least she kept Mercedes and had BUT, Megumi no Hito and Lollipop there.

And I love that outfit too. It's fabulous~

[kaled kalil]

Kumi's part on a-nation is up on JPS.

[Gustavopc]

She looks great Girl is really into monochromatic looks this year, loving the fashion so far

[salina]

she loooks great

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

She seemed to suffer from the opposite of Ayu's a-nation lives. She sings songs that are more well known and liked by fans instead of a more casual set list, where Ayu generally sings the same songs every year, making her fans rather...underwhelmed? But for this type of festival (for all artists) performing (general) fan favorites tends to be a crowd pleaser.

The single songs got a good response, but album songs were pretty low energy from the crowd. Not necessarily because they don't like the songs, just that they don't know them.

anyway she sounded and looked great. I wish she sang more classic songs though.

Had she put in a song from 4 hot wave or Freaky I think it'd have been really fun~

Ironically , tomorrow & Wed's concert dates are the same ones that were rescheduled from the 1st 2 (which Kuu was sick with the flu) o_O O_o

[kaled kalil]

The only song that they don't know at all is Mercedes, pretty much the rest is already a classic for her festivals. Even LOADED, which had a mid success for an album track without promotion at all, is well know. It's hard to judge the crowd interaction with the first footage because we only hear Kumi's microphone.

As for the casual setlist, she seems to change a little each time, but picking the same songs as BE MY BABY / Megumi no Hito / Butterfly / Lollipop / Poppin' love cocktail / LALALALALA / LOADED / IS THIS TRAP?.

I still wish she would use House Party as the random album track like she usually do, instead of Mercedes.

Her voice was better than last year, so this is good!

Btw, is it weird to say that I miss the old WOWOW coverage? haha The angles and how the concert footage was handled back then was so much better when it was with WOWOW, and not M!ON.
