[Koda Kumi] 134th Thread ~Live Tour 2011 Dejavu~

[KarenPang]

It's only the 1st day of her tour & the setlist for the next few days will change

Japan is still trying its best to recover from the horrors it faced last month & you can't expect Kumi to sing her ero kawaii & more up there songs especially in a time like this

I kinda expected the mood will be more toned down unlike the supposedly dance theme that she suggested prior to the disaster :x

Pretty happy with the setlist. I'm a sucker for ballads. 8D

Toned down is one thing, and I understand the sensitivity towards the disaster. But why go to a concert that's.... Not entertaining. I'm not really a ballad person so a huge ballad section is kind of boring to me. I mean if you're dealing with the disaster and you need a little 'pick-me-up' and you go to a Kuu concert that's full of ballads it's.... I don't know, disappointing. At least to me. I think the one song for Earthquake disaster in the concert is great, but why set up your whole concert to be centered around pain, sadness or sensitivity. It should be encouraging, fun and exciting. I don't know, maybe the ballads are encouraging but 11 in a row? Sooooooooooo boring. I mean, that's just my opinion, I'm sure Japan ADORES Kuu ballads but I hope Ayu's tour doesn't end up the same way to be honest because this tour is already a big no for me, sorry.

I hope the setlist changes for the DVD at least.

You don't have to apologize for offending anybod. I for one am not offended. Would you not agree that you were being a bit over dramatic?

Without seeing the tour, without seeing one performance, without seeing any costumes, you pretty much dismissed it as a big boring snoozefest because of the setlist for the first date

What you should realize is that Kuu's not doing this setlist just because of the earth quake. Her last minitour was Eternity, which was mostly ballads and it turned out to be a FANTASTIC show, and she mentioned that she would like to turn more attention towards her music than just the performance aspect of her tour. She wants her music to reach people, and the best way to do that is with emotional songs.

It's not as if she is doing piano ballad, after piano ballad, after piano ballad. That would be boring. Instead, she has a good mixture of her "ballad" songs, some midtempo and some slower.

All I'm saying, is wait until you see the show before you totally get "disappointed" with it... who knows, you might end up really liking it. It's not as if the entire show is a big ballad.

I guess I came off more dramatic than I meant to but even a mixture of ballads is just not appealing to me if it's too many at one time. I know she wants to focus more on her music, and based on two flawless albums, Eternity and Dejavu, I can tell she's serious about it. But at the same time I can't bring myself to be excited about a concert that has 11 ballads in a row. That's all I meant to say. At this point, it would be disappointing for me but that doesn't stop me from wanting to see some of my favorite ballads being performed, I just might have to take a break in between when I get the DVD if that is indeed the setlist.
