[Lee^ChaN]

I'm off to the show
For the sake of kuu family, i'll be back with a report!!

[Earth_maiden]

^ can't wait to hear it!!

I always thought Kuu only performed one or two songs at a-nation lives, since that's all they put on the DVDs...

KODA KUMI to release her 50th single called ‘GIRLY TALK’ on AUGUST 10, for her upcoming 10th year anniversary after debut.
Track 1 “Never Say Never,” was produced by HIRO, who produced the hit song “TABOO,” and is finished in a cool dance number.
“GLORY GIRLS” is a collaboration with hugely popular K-POP group 2NE1.
“Summer Love” is a heart warming love song featuring a new artist with an uncertain age, Me.
Lastly “You are not alone” is the long-awaited release of the music download that was delivered as a single on the charity fund-raising CD “Tohoku Region Pacific Ocean earthquake.”

That bolded part really makes me lol. Kuu's 10th anniversary was last year. And there's no VIP in the track listing either. I really love the title and love it to be here. Single's title sounds like Namie to me (GIRL TALK, anyone?) so I would say it's a total fake. I'd wait patiently for avex news since those are a lot more trustful than these rumours. Of course rumours are fun to read but seriously. :p

^Why does that sound like Ayu's A BEST 2 mixed with 50 SINGLES LIVE SELECTION DVD to me? 8D

[Lee^ChaN]

Hiii~ I'm back.. and finally finished writing it..
It's quite long... and excuse my English..

Spoiler:

She showed up before the show with black dress (uhm, i almost bursted into tears XD and the show hadn't started yet)
She showed her sympathy and condolences to those who are suffering from the earthquake & tsunami. She explained that actually she was troubled whether to continue the tour or not. But then staffs & fans (even in Fukushima area) encouraged her to continue the tour, despite of the condition.

Opening movie

Prologue to Dejavu
The screen showed a witch castle and then inside witch kuu was making something like poison in a big pot, just like what a witch normally does.
Then when the scene was over..

POP DIVA
She unexpectedly poped out from the upper right of the stage hanging to a rope and was swinging right and left. She's wearing the green outfit with orange glasses. At the end of the song, she sat on the side of a huge pot on the 2nd floor stage and dropped herself inside.

Black Candy
She came out from the middle of the stage with the black & white stripped outfit (she looks really yummy )
Touching her "this" and "that", all over her body

Lollipop
On the middle of the song, she invited 4 winners (who bought the lollipop candies with VIP written on them)
The girls were sat on the square table. Kuu was making a poison-like liquid and also teasing those girls (like sitting on their laps, pretended like she was going to kiss them)

Okay
Pretty song sung by flawless girl with awesome voice

Aitakute

At The Weekend
Short catchy intro, and there was a short dance show on the middle of the song, and the song was totally great, imo.

Interlude movie
She was at a candy factory, making candies with a machine. Then she asked her workers (dancers) what's wrong with the candy mixture. When the candy was finished, Kuu ate it and turned into a frog for a short period ( One of the worker apparently let his pet-frog jumped inside the mixture)
There were scenes here when she made her workers ate the candies, and the effects made them acting like kuu (using kansai-ben & singing ai no uta)
Then she was angry and made her male workers worked really hard until they're exhausted. The female workers were upset and intended to leave her,
but kuu said sorry...

With Bands (drum, bass, guitar & piano)
She comes out with blue pluffy outfit (she looks sooooo preeeeetttyy!!)
She told the audience to sit down since it's going to be a ballad section.

Anata dake ga

Medley ~Love is Over ~ Ienai Yo~ (I don't remember whether she sang swallowtail butterfly or not)

Ai no Uta

Passing By
The screen showed her PV with B.Howard? And then on the middle of the song, there was a transparent Frame. Kuu went to the back of the frame and continue to sang. There were 2 Kuu clones poped on the frame and sang together. Then at the end there was like a mirror fragment flying on the picture frame.

0 ji mae no Cinderella
She changed into a long beige dress (Apparently she was wearing it inside her pluffy blue outfit)
PERFECT!! (thank god she's not misono )

Suki de, Suki de, Suki de
The screen showed some sad scenes/crying scenes from her older PVs too (You, hands, promise, Stay with me, Moon crying, feel)

Walk ~to the future~
On the middle of the song, there were 5 cloth-like screens hanging on the ceiling with motives just like the glass on the church. Then one by one was dropped, started from the one on the right, left, right, left and then the middle one. But when the middle one was dropped in front of kuu, she already changed her outfit with long black dress!! (She wore 3 outfit one at a time!!) CRAZEH BEEYATCH! XD

Interlude movies II
As kuu apologized to her workers, they started to work again from the beginning. When the candies are ready, the female workers made kuu go into the pipe
1st stop was at the north-pole with penguins
2nd stop was somewhere in Africa
3rd stop was at Mario Bros-like game
4th stop...

Bambi
She came out from the door on the left of the middle screen. She wore the light blue outfit. She looks really cute with bangs! The screen was full with colorful candies

I don't Love you

Hey Baby!
Really cute choreo here!

Melting

Choitashi Life

Fans sang "WIND" before the encore

Encore movie
The clown at trick tour was back, but then kuu said.. hey! I know this scene! we've done this before! Dejavu?
Then, kingdom tour with the finding kuu game. Again she said, this too! Dejavu?
The third one was the second session tour with the darts game. Then she asked the audience whether they wanted the encore or not.

Be My Baby
HOT!! She wore the black bra, white transparent top and black pants outfit.

Megumi no hito

Dance Part
The most (i don't know) part .. She unzip her white transparent top and she fixed *cough* her right & left boobs position by putting her hands (or what do you call it.. grabbing?) inside her bra XD
Then dancer introduction

2nd encore
She wore dejavu t-shirt but got it tied, to reveal her stomach and light green aladin-like pants.

Cutie Honey-Butterfly

Talk
She told some funny stories during her dejavu tours. She asked the audience whether she's getting fat or not; because when she was at Kagawa prefecture, she ate too much. And she accidentally ripped the black dress while singing walk LOL
Then she was caught couple times during the security check on the airport. She had just bought a ring (but the one with 3 holes, for index finger, middle finger and ring finger; which usually used by gangster to hit). But the security didn't seem to trust her. So she had to leave the ring there (but someone from avex bought her a new one) She told: "Do you think Koda Kumi would reveal herself and would hit someone with this ring?! I only bought it for 800yen!" XD
On the other time, she got caught because she brought a tweezers? (thing you use to clean your eye-brows) on her make-up case. Then she asked the security (woman) "what?! don't you ever used one?!" XD

You are not alone
Well, this song has You are so beautiful vibe, the guitar is dominant. But forgettable, imo, but it has great encouraging lyric. She said there's no plan yet to release this song as a single or album. This is just gonna be available for download.

Chiisana Koi no Uta

Comes Up

Lick me
In the end, the stage set was turned just like on her tour pamphlet book (the pop-out thing) and then she went inside.

Overall:
Voice: perfect as always

Stage: not her best stage; there's a screen in the middle, and pipe-like background on the left and right of the screen, just like in the factory.

Movies: not her best interlude movies, but quite entertaining if you understand what they're talking about.

But I was only 10 mtr away from the stage, so.. I was satisfied!
I'm sorry, I couldn't take pictures, not even outside the hall, because it was too crowded (blame the small venue)

[Minttulatte]

wow, Dejavu Tour sounds amazing from what I read from Lee's report. *___*

It's kinda cool how she talks with the audience about things like fans are her best friends or something. That's so nice of her~ <3

[Gustavopc]

Thanks for the report! It sounds like a good show, can't wait 'till I can see some of these perfomances.

Oh, and I second drdolce about the LIVE SELECTION rumor.

[tenshi no hane]

thanks for the report ^-^

[Kingdom]

thanks for the report! Sounds like a good show. Glad her vocals are perfect and she looked gorgeous.

[Ayu_Love]

Hey! Not sure if someone has already posted this (Sorry if they have!) but for some reason my computer is being silly and won't let me view the page before this. :/

Anyway, here's a private video someone has filmed who was at the set of the VIP PV! I think Kuu is the girl in the black dress you see at the start, you can hear her talking and laughing. If you listen carefully at the beginning and til about halfway through, you can hear a song playing in the background. A preview of VIP, perhaps?

[Ayu_Love]

4 PVs! I'm SO pumped for this single, I honestly can't wait! All the names are really interesting (KO-SO-KO-SO!?), Poppin' Love Cocktail sounds EPIC. I really can't wait, she's gonna give us something so sexy and awesome, I'm sure!

[Beauty4123]

@ "Poppin'love cocktail", but knowing kuu, it's gonna be hot! i'm so extremely excited for 4 PVs! oh how i LOVE kuu's summer singles!

hope they'll announce more info soon. i wanna know the release date!

[tenshi no hane]

"Poppin'love cocktail" is an awesome title XDDD

KO-SO-KO-SO probably comes from 'kosokoso' (こそこそ), which means 'doing something quietly and secretly'.

[Gustavopc]

^ Sounds pretty interesting now
