[jbrat2219]

Amazing gifs, Corvina! Thanks!

[Twinkle !]

OMG those FANTASIA gifs look amazing !!

i want to watch it so bad , I may receive it anytime today i hope so

[SKYia]

IMO, the interlude videos from Fantasia were not high quality compared to previous ones (Black Cherry Tour videos are still best to date) but I love the crying "sadness" Kumi Her waterfalls of tears, her face expression and how the rain cloud comes and goes when she's crying

[Minttulatte]

^I think they're supposed to be based on humour or something.

I haven't watched the concert yet because I want to watch DMP on the same day and I'm still downloading it.

[krauterol]

I finally watch fantasia live right now, and all I can say is that the concert is awesome.... the best way to finish 10 years of career.
The best part for me is the full encore, so energetic!!
I love u kuu.. as long as you keep doing things like this I will be your fan
Now let's wait to see what the new kuu-decade will be!!

[jbrat2219]

Hey quick question? Any confirmation of Kumi maybe being in the Leslie Kee photobook?!?! I'd love to see Ayu, Namie and Kumi's gorgeous, stunning photos all together in one book!!!!

i would recommend you ashita he (明日へ...) from best bounce and lovers album, i think it's such a beautiful song, perfect for a bride + father of bride dance or to walk into the church. the translation is also very beautiful, perfect for a wedding

[Minttulatte]

Flawless Kumi Kuu on Leslie Kee's photobook? OMFG. <3

And nice to see Kuu on two polls too for a change too. Especially on that most power/strength poll. <3

[Earth_maiden]

I haven't even watched all of DMP, or Billboard live yet. Been so busy its hard to find time to sit down and watch them in one go.

I'd put Kuu at #1 on the girlfriend's list, she seems like so much fun.

You're not the only one. I haven't watch any of those, and I'm planning to watch DMP, Billboard Live and Fantasia in one go one of these days. That makes 6-7 hours of Kuu concerts omg <3

Did Namie sell her soul to the devil?

[ALfromHELLSING]

Awesome FANTASIA gifs, thnx.

LOL maybe-maybe...

[krauterol]

Seriously, I can't stop watching fantasia live, just ordered because I'm in love! That must be the most touching and perfect live in kuu's history. Amazing and colossal stage, perfect setlist, fantastic visuals and lightning, powerful and clear vocals, excellent concept... ALL is perfect in this amazing production. Her most expensive to date and probably won't be able to see such a HUGE production anytime soon. See it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-edit-

kuu gets #1 spot for 7 consecutive years with her live tour DVD's. Fantasia debuted also #1 first week. No sales yet though. Congrats kuu!! ^^

I agree, FANATSIA is great!
So touching, so much great songs (older ones like come back and Gentle Words ), great costumes (love the happy one with the big hat!), great stage, great lightnings. The two encores alone are like a concert!
Though it's not perfect, she has some troubles reaching her (extreme) high notes in few songs like she wanted to (especially in Anata dake ga). But that's not a big flaw, you didn't notice that often.
And the interlude movies aren't the best, I would prefer something with a more serious atmosphere like the opening movie for her 10th Anniversary - that was perfect! But the interludes are really funny, those movies are just Kuus character!
Overall just awesome, even my sister and my mother were impressed, they watched the encores with me.

And as a plus another great FANTASIA gif from Kaled!



And she does that with high heels like always!

[Minttulatte]

^That gif is awesome. I think I have to watch those three concerts in a row tomorrow. <3

Kuu got another #1 DVD? That's so damn amazing! <3 Queen of Live. *_____* Btw, didn't Billboard Live reach only #2 or am I completely wrong? o.O
