[Koda Kumi] The 180th Thread - 15th Anniversary LIVE The Artist

[Gustavopc]

MONEY IN MY BAG was performed only in Taiwan last year but they still included it as a bonus, I really don't get why no HULLICANE

[kaled kalil]

^ She performed MIMB in Japan too. The recording for the DVD was at Kobe Kokusai Kaikan, and I'm pretty sure that since that date from the recording, she started to sing the song during the rest of the Tour, with almost more 10 dates.
It's the same case of HURRICANE, which she started singing during the middle of the Tour.

Random but I've gotten into Dreaming Now again. It sounds better to me now than it did 2 years ago :p

This performance has to be one of her best dance wise! Hope we get a song with intense choreography again soon!

Interesting, same with me! I could have cared less for the song when it was first released, but this past summer it really grew on me.

Really? I didn't see anything from this concert other than the intro/You can keep up with me performance. Haha so proud of myself

Dreaming Now! was a favorite of mine after watching the PV, the choreography is freakin' powerful and the live performances were all impeccable, it seems kuu loves performing this because she is energetic the whole song and ends up with a nice shout.

[Corvina]

It's interesting, cause the TV version by WOWOW was the final, the second Saitama show.
The DVD seems to be the first Saitama date - without HURRICANE.
I really wonder why they make a difference here and take different recordings.

[chocopockymaster]

^ the first Saitama date???!?!?! whyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[kaled kalil]

@maze The concert is great tho, so it's worth it, but since I saw everything that I wanted (except for HURRICANE which apparently isn't on the DVD, and the fan selection), I just don't really care right now. It would be nice to have some new angles and stuff, specially on Piece In The Puzzle, I'm not a fan of the editing.
What I'll try to do this time is not see the setlist of the 15th Anniversary Live on reports, and be surprised watching the DVD itself. haha

Dreaming Now! is, indeed, a great song. I'm not a fan of the style that she was using during the promotion, with those crystals on her lips, and the outfits all over the place, but overall is such a upbeat and fun song, I love it.

I love how her choreographies are getting better and better with time. I was always scared of her taking the other road and do more "idol" style choreography like Namie does, but I think she is getting the right balance on what works for her. From Shake Hip! (with a more flirty style) to Lippy (that choreography was everything), I'm really proud of her.

[Corvina]

@kaled:
You do know though, that the edit is always different between TV and DVD edition?
The DVD still might bw worth it for you.

[kaled kalil]

I know, but most of the times are just some random things, here and there. Like on show girl (at Trick Tour) during the line "Onna no buki wa me de otosu". I usually like the DVD footage because the colors are better, more vivid.

And the DVD is totally worth it, I'm not saying that it isn't, I'm just not that excited right now for the release, since I saw pretty much everything. I'll watch the final footage eventually.

[ayumisrael]

That's why I kept myself from watching anything WALK OF MY LIFE TOUR.

I didn't see anything and when I will watch the blu-ray show it will be super fun and surprising (I hope). =)

[Corvina]

Just preordered my Live CD and BluRay at the FC shop.
And I noticed there's the First Press listed!

First Press for DVD and BluRay is a digipak and a special 20 page booklet.

Here's a screencap:
