i hope the ASIA TOUR mixes both lol..but i'll catch up on these too!

It does mix them up though - it's got all of Uncontrolled in there. I for one though am glad that most of the songs between Style and Uncontrolled were excluded though, simply because they have been performed so many times. A lot of long time Namie fans have been wishing and praying for her to perform her pre-Style hits again.

Also, its lists the date and venue on that set-list, which makes me wonder if the setlist might change with each date?

It sounds like there was a huge X-Mas tree on stage? But that in general the stage was very simple and the focus was always on Namie.

ughhh that video of her talking got me thinking of how i find it hard to pinpoint just what her "it factor" is. she seems so well composed and sort of poker face-y, but she definitely shows emotion--i just can't put my finger on it XD it drives me crazy.

exactly. I thought she would be OMG MY START OF THE TOUR YAY.
and then I remember this is namie and she always has that poker face.
I know she's happy to reach this milestone so is fine.

I can't wait to see her smile just like her last tour.
Everyone was cheering when she smiled IT WAS SO CUTE.

I'm kind of surprised she ended the concert with Say the Word. I thought she would have ended it with Never End, but I guess it makes sense.

I also got really emotional reading about how they played clips of her previous tours in btw costume-changes. I can't wait to see this on DVD.

And she cried during Can You Celebrate? How sweet, aww I love her!

YES! I think about that cheer a lot when Namie comes to mind (I'm weird lol). Because I've never heard of a reaction like that for other artists. I think it's because Namie is usually so composed, and even the way she performs has this very professional, detached execution. That isn't to say it doesn't leave its impact, but it's not as emotionally intense as Ayu's operatic lives, or Kuu's ****ing awesome party lives lol. Namie's lives is kind of like watching an art performance? idk how to describe it, but when she breaks out of that professional mode and shows an emotion like a smile or a tear, it just reminds people that even though she keeps herself pretty guarded and in control, she still gets emotional about it all.

idk I know this sounds really dramatic and stupid, but I just honestly have never encountered a performer like Namie before. It's easy to mistake her composure for apathy or detachment, but it's not. It's this sort of really intense focus that kind of takes you aback.

BUT IDGAF W/E NAMIE YAAYYYY

Another new bit of info: The televised version of the concert on 12/23 is going to be taken from the Osaka dates on 12/1 and 12/2! I'm sure the DVD/Blu Ray of the concert will be the Tokyo Dome dates, so that means we should get 2 full concerts released.

Namie's serious/dead face can save lives.

It's not that Namie is not emotional or doesn't care, she's just very introverted. Introverted people usually show little facial expression and they might not even be aware of it. However, what they actually feel inside is a different story from what they usually show.

It always comes back to this topic in Namie threads. Who cares what her face looks like when she dances! She apparently did something right at some point.

[AyUmIXx]

i really like namie amuro's cool expression when she sings and dances, she's just so awesome like that. it's definitely Namie's style~
she's just a very shy person and i understand that=))

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Perhaps I want to try and buy tickets to this... Her classics are my favorite. I feel like this is my last chance to see them performed live lol.

[ayu_ready?]

I think new promo images are so good, I love her make-up there

new ViVi scans are out

I like the way you put it!
Namie and me have that in common!
I just thought she was always miserable. But in fact, she's introverted just like me

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

She's like the Victoria Beckham of Japan
