From the review, why do i feel her time slowly decrease? Her CDs are not sold well as the past, but her concert is always strong side, fresh and cool. If she cannot does it great like before, i'm afraid that she will be declined ><

If I'm not mistaken, with you is a BACK-ON feat. Me (misono's alter ego(?)), maybe TEEDA rejoined again?

Thanks for the review, Lee^chan, I'll read it when I'm not on mobile hahaha

It's kinda dissapointing to hear that she was vocally bad during this show. I never expect such a thing from kuu to that extent.

KarenPang · #**364** 2nd August 2015, 06:34 PM

Maybe she's under the weather ? I don't know cos right now I heard it's very hot in Japan & I have friends who flew in from USA + Serbia who're saying the same thing in that they're melting literally

Usually for this type of joint artistes related concerts , it's not an easy thing to do . And I know what it means when the tension is all over the place as it's very rare you will like all the artistes that performed with 1 main star (Kuu) under 1 roof

Hopefully Kuu will take better care of her health before she perform at a-nation stadium fes. later on this month as it's not the norm for her not to deliver vocally :x

ALfromHELLSING · #**365** 2nd August 2015, 06:45 PM

^Maybe she's sick or just very exhausted after all the tour performances. I don't think she can even take a break to spend some quality time with her son. Apart from the fact that she's a workaholic there's so much competition in the music industry right now; she needs to release music continuously otherwise she'll become even less relevant. Oh and thanks for the review Lee^chan.

There's a preview on his offical site:

I'm surprised he's not showing off his body on the cover. His cover sounds quite nice tho, I wouldn't mind hearing full version.

Spoiler:

Overall, I found the show was okay. But really wouldn't recommend it for first-timer. The tension was up and down, depending on the artists. Kuu sounded really weak and tired, missed quite a lot of notes actually which was really rare. Not too many dancing while she was with the other artists.
This girl seriously needs some rest!

I never really liked Sean Paul and your review sort of made me hate him even more. How dare he try to steal the show were he was a guest? Jerk! Anyway. I am seriously happy she sang TAKE BACK. That song is my guilty pleasure! I hate it but I love it! Lol. Sad to hear she couldn't hit all her notes tho. She really need to rest!

The voice will be probably fine for a blu-ray/DVD release, so I'm not that worried about it.
I hope now she has some time to rest, since a-nation's date will be only by the end of this month.
I remember that, when she performed on Dream Music Park, her vocals weren't that great neither, so I can see that she has some problems with doing stadium / outside concerts for a long period of time, more than her usual 30 min festival setlist.

Good to know that she changed outfits couple of time, I was worried that the concert would be with only one and thats it.

Corvina · #**368** 2nd August 2015, 08:28 PM

I'm a bit mad, they didn't plan enough rest for her, so her voice suffers. Especially with such a rare own a-nation live! She has to look better after herself!
Her schedule in the last weeks was pretty insane.
But if it's like in FNS this week, where she sounds tired, but still controlled, I'm alright with it. She probably just lowered the key again for the high parts she can't reach with her tired voice in the moment. Lee^ChaN also said most of her performances were still ok. Still really looking forward to see it!
Glad there's about three weeks till the next performance on a-nation.

Welurru · #**369** 2nd August 2015, 10:59 PM

Thanks for the review Lee^ChaN.

Is this show something to be televised, or?
I'm hoping it's to be an album extra DVD (Still hopeful for another album this year what with the '15th anniversary' tag being taken from WoML).
Her voice wasn't too good on the Line performance last week either so maybe she's just a bit unwell. Has she anything planned before normal a-nation at the end of the month. Hopefully she can have a week off to just rest.

What a hopeful post lol.

And QUEEN OF CHARITY. Few of these guests could fill a small village school hall nevermind a Kumi stage. I hope Lisa got someone to fill in for her shift at, I imagine, Japanese Walmart. Musics certainly not been making her coins since 2004.

Spoiler:

No official pics of Kuu yet.

kaled kalil · #**371** 3rd August 2015, 12:59 AM

Corvina, could you put the bigger picture inside the spoiler as well? It's deforming the forum here. x_x

She looks sooooo good!

Corvina · #**372** 3rd August 2015, 01:19 AM

Somebody here made a cool pic of the whole seated arena:

And this is so cute!

maze · #**373** 3rd August 2015, 01:19 AM

judging by those clips she sounds fine. so I dont get the drama.

but damn she looks hella hot

this deserves Bluray release! no more crappy dvd please

happiholic★ · #**374** 3rd August 2015, 01:32 AM

I really hope this gets a release on Blu Ray. She's got some good Japanese rappers on, and I do like Sean Paul's music, so I ain't even mad. The stage looked amazing!!

Corvina · #**375** 3rd August 2015, 01:36 AM

If it gets a release, it will probably be just Kuu's parts, because of copyright sadly.
Not all of those artists are under avex.

melissalove · #**376** 3rd August 2015, 02:00 AM

I really don't think kumi isn't under the weather, I really think she's having some kind of problem with her vocals recently. Her voice sounds drained for some reason. I noticed during these:

1. Music For All, All For One. During the last 4 songs.
2. During her walk of my life tour overseas. Many people I knew where complaining to death about it. ( yume no uta, walk of my life, sometimes dreams come true)
3. Her recent FNS live (walk of my life)
Oh yeah and her
4. First class 2nd limited live at the last stage.
5. Now I hear it from lee's review

Hopefully some training will help or something.

kuu's parts AND collabs do you mean, right? if so, then that's all we want. I think no one cares about the other performers solo perfs

Minttulatte · #**378** 3rd August 2015, 02:14 AM

I don't get this drama over her vocals. Imo she sounds good in every live performance she does.

happiholic★ · #**379** 3rd August 2015, 02:26 AM

If she's under the weather or if she's just drained, she just needs some rest. She sounds more tired than anything to me.

I would actually really like every artist at the concert to be on the DVD. But, avex is so anal with copyrights I could see it being an issue.

Minttulatte · #**380** 3rd August 2015, 04:05 AM

I don't want to hear or see Sean Paul more than it's necessary. I want to see Kuu on a DVD, not him. Especially if he stole the show for 30 minutes from our Queen of Live. If he is added, I hope it's only the part where he and Kuu performs LOADED. Other parts of his can be buried into sand and leave them there.
