And yes the Party Queen performance is so interesting and deep! Sad and epic is a perfect way to put it!



The dark green military-esque outfit.

And hate on the cat maid outfit all you want but i LOVED it and absolutely nothing was as fun during the concert as when she came out with it!! The arena went wild!
I agree with you, the cat mad outfit might not look impressive on pictures, but when you are there in person, she look super cute! Everyone went kawaii!!!!!

I don't mind the setlist. Probably could have done without Happening Here, Eyes, Smoke, Magic and party queen (song) but I'm excited to hear the PQ songs live. reminds me, tell me why & return road are going to be epic live.

The title is very misleading. Really needed some more Love songs tracks that we never got to hear live. Although I love Love song (one of my favourites off that album) so that will be great to hear live.

Would have preferred call to letter as well. Hopefully she switches her encore around.

Far from a disappointment. These tours are to promote her latest material, not have a balanced setlist spanning more of her career like her CDL's. Even then, we've got a few oldies here to enjoy. appears!!

Very disappointed with the set list..was expecting love songs not party queen. Love songs would be great live if she have an orchestra again like power of music plus reminds me, tell me why, how beautiful u r, and return road if she really wants to add in party queen songs.

Omg, idk what's worse: the costumes or wigs. Considering her real hair is about the same length sans for the maid and stewardess outfits, idk why she even had to use them. So cheap looking~

So glad she decided to dump the Love Songs album (minus Love Song), and go full throttle with Party Queen...

Only Like a doll hasn't been sung before, all other songs on the album she already sang live once or more...

MOON (RnRC tour, A-nat10, CDL10-11, CDL 11-12)
blossom (RnRC tour, A-nat10, PoM tour)
crossroad (RnRC tour, A-nat10)
Virgin Road (RnRC tour, CDL10-11)
sweet season (RnRC tour)
Last Angel (RnRC tour, CDL10-11)
Thank U (CDL10-11, PoM tour)
Love Song (CDL10-11, PoM tour, CDL11-12, HLS tour)
sending mail (CDL11-12)
November (CDL11-12)
Do It Again (CDL10-12, CDL11-12)

Go watch the above videos if you want those songs so badly... LOL at all those people who are having fits just because of a stupid tour name...

And regarding Eyes, smoke, Magic and the next LOVE, they are not audience participation songs, they are 'sit back and enjoy/relax' type of songs... so the audience sounding dead is normal I think... what important is the applause at the end...

I agree with everything, but specially with the last bit

Same thing when Peco, Princess and Gomi did Cabaret, people were sitting back and stuff. I'm sure people were tired of standing up, and they still cheered for them when they finished.

I would totally stand up and shake a lightstick if I was seeing CATS and the Rumtum Tugger came out to do his song.

But the crossroad for R'n'RC was never recorded, only a mini acapella was recorded for the DVD. I know it was performed on a-nation, but the stage setting won't be the same as an arena tour. She can't just forget a flawless song like "Like a doll". And tbh I only like 5 songs from the album, not even half the album. She should keep the HOTEL Love songs theme and add a few songs from Party Queen. I know she wanted to spread her news about her divorce and new album, but why can't she make the first half of HOTEL Love songs delicate to Love songs and second half Party Queen, then finally she should do another seven day special or some special live which includes both Love songs & Party Queen songs, then she can record it as the DVD.

yuck. yuck. yuck.

bad costumes. bad wig. only the encore look is passable but it's still pretty underwhelming.

i'm a little disappointed with the setlist, but it's okay i guess... bet Love songs is gonna suffer the rehash of its CDL version where EVERYONE circles her while she sings it.. so unfitting for this masterpiece.

and eww did she reuse the bed for MOON/fated from CDL 11-12?! Trololol Ayu wtf that's one of ur worst props for a live.

Most of those outfit pretend to be epic, grand, etc. but at then end, they just appears to be a complete mess. RR dress is ridiculous (ugly pink wig + little-child-princess-crown = FAIL). Most of that mess is the hair's fault : those wigs are pretty useless I think (especially when it makes her head 3x wider -_-).

The only good outfit is the one for Happening Here. Unfortunately, it has been used just for one only [*******y] song.

Disappointing as a whole, hope she will bring drastic changes.
