Which is why her performing NEVER ENOUGH and OUTTA MY HEAD makes sense as well.

Reading some comments on Twitter and Insta.. People mention how awesome it was sitting higher on the stands, but nobody mentions why! xD. Some even recommend having 2nd or 3rd floor seats (like Kuu did).
Reading more some say the concert is on arena tour level and one guy even says it instantly became on of his favourite tours.
She talked about Namie in her MC. She recently went to a w-inds concert.

The Japanese articles all mention, that it's a futuristic theme with a high entertainment value (and even say it's overwhelmingly impressive and a must-watch concert this year).

The goods setup.is even better at night:

The full thing with the AND Tour and a-nation logo:

The middle parts start rotating when the concert starts, saw a video on Insta.

The streamers are metallic blue this time:

Do you guys wanna know more?
Apparently the stage has a lot of LEDs, the floor, too. The floor is movable and changes to have some slopes at the side at one point.
There seems to be more than one "flying" performance, she even does some with her dancer Ooba.

Kuu posted this in her Insta stories.
From the encore from yesterday:



And her staff also posted this earlier today.
Kuu reading through the questionnaires from yesterday:
https://mobile.twitter.com/KODAKUMIN...95187134382080

She always tries to read as much as she can herself.
She also posted one particular wish for kids shirts (again) on her Insta stories from one of them.

I was expecting she would change to Kokoro Kara I love you, like she did last year going from Yorokobi no kakera to Promise you and so on. I do hope Aenaku Naru Kurainara ends up on the DVD, it's my favorite between the two.

Thanks to the new setlist, I would say that this is how the tour is divided

01 Dangerous
02 Pin Drop
03 IS THIS TRAP?〜ECSTASY〜TABOOメドレー
04 HAIRCUT
05 HOT HOT

06 心からi love u
07 愛のうた
08 恋のつぼみ〜I'll be there〜Somedayメドレー
09 CHANCES ALL
10 NEVER ENOUGH

11 OUTTA MY HEAD
12 WATCH OUT!! 〜DNA〜
13 ScREaM
14 HUSH
15 Guess Who Is Back
16 Ultraviolet
17 PARTY
18 LIT

ENCORE
19 Lady Go!
20 め組のひと
21 Work That
22 WIND
23 walk

Lady Go/with your smile might be before the encore, who knows.
----

This is how the stage looks like after the concert https://www.instagram.com/p/BnvkdY6BP76/

I looks simple but I'm very excited to see how it works. And it's also very different from the picture with the pink outfit. Can't wait to see more of it.

It's hard to judge the stage with pictures like this. I remember when Dejavu Tour was happening and we got a picture of the stage, after the concert, and it was so weird seeing all those cardboard cutout, with the style of the pamphlet. haha

I just got back for the show tonight, and it was so good! I love Kuu's shows so much. I've seen her live six times now twice during the singles collection tour, three times during the w/face tour, and now tonight. I'm always amazed at her energy from start to finish at every show. She is so great to watch live, and her vocals were great for the entire show.

Here's my brief overview of the show.

Spoiler:

The entire show had a video game theme to it which was really cool at some parts and super cheesy in the best way possible at some parts. There were several times that I could help but laugh at how silly and fun some parts of the videos were, they were so “Koda Kumi-ish” I loved it lol

So she wore a pink outfit with a long ponytail during the start of the show, then when “HAIRCUT” started they brought out a bunch of salon chairs and Kuu sat in one with her back to the audience. They show a close up of her ponytail on the big screen, and then one of her dances cut it off with a pair of scissors. She then put on a long purple wig and she started singing. At one point the dancers started blow-drying the wig with hand dryers, and the wig changed colors, from purple to hot pink. She eventually got out of the chair and pulled off the bottom part/extentions of the wig so that it was sholder length. Eventully she took the pink with off with a bunch of dancers in from in her and revealed a short green wig styled very similarly to her short hair during the Trick tour. Near the end of the song she left the stage and there was a video on the screen showing Kuu posing in outfits from previous tours, such as kimono outfit from the walk of my life tour, the flight attendant outfit from Universe tour, and show girl outfit form the Trick tour. Kuu can back on stage in a kimono inspired outfit and a shoulder-length blond wig and finished the song.

They brought 3 fans on stage during HOT HOT and Kuu grinded on them while they sat in the salon chairs. Lol.

She wore a long white dress for 心からI love you – Never Enough. At the end of Koi no Tsubomi when the music stopped Kuu started singing the first couple words of the chorus again, but then goes “oh, it’s over” and laughed a little. It was really cute.

After NEVER ENOUGH she changed into a red dress for OTTA MY HEAD. At the end of OTTA MY HEAD she took off the bottom of the dress and went to perform the aerial move where she wraps herself the cloth hanging from the ceiling, but instead of tumbling down until she’s hanging upside down, like usual, she just got lifted into the air, was in the air for a while and lowered back down, it was really weird. But she later addressed that in the encore saying that something got stuck and so the move didn’t go as planned and that it was a huge mistake. She said that she really wanted to show us how it was supposed to go and asked if we still wanted to see it. Of course the audience started screaming that we wanted to see it. They then brought the cloth back out and replayed just that section of the song where she went up in the air. When she was in the air right before the trick she yell something along the lines of “here I go, everyone watch me!” and she performed the trick perfectly. Once she was back on the ground they showed the footage of her messing up during the actual performance again, and she started yelling about how embarrassing it was. Lol. But she said she redid the trick in the encore because it was only the second date of the tour, and that if she messes up on any of the other dates she’s not redoing it. It was a special “one-time-only” event Lol.

During the rest of the main show she was in a sports top and baggy pants. WATCH OUT had a kind of basketball theme to it. During the performance of ScREaM she was in the air the whole time with really funny random cartoony stuff happening in the background. I laugh several times at how fun and silly it was.

At the start of the encore there was a choice between 1.Popin’ Love Cocktail, 2.Life so Good, and 3.Lady Go! Every cheered for Lady Go! the most. It then showed a fan on the screen and asked which song they wanted to hear, the fan held up 3 fingers for Lady Go! so that’s what kuu sang.

The MC during the encore was SUPER long. Like I’ve been to 6 of Kuu’s concerts now, and this on by far felt like it had the longest MC. Kuu certainly can talk for a very long time! Lol but she was super cute and funny the whole time, she answered some questions from her fan club members and she explained the whole mishap during OUTTA MY HEAD.

However the was another mishap that happened during the show that she talked about. I can’t remember which song it was, maybe Lady Go!, it was one of the songs where she usually swings a towel around. But when she came on stage she forgot to bring her towel with her so one of the dancers gave her their towel to use. At the end of the song the kiss the towel and threw it into the audience as usual.

During the MC the showed the fan who caught the towel and she said that she felt bad that he didn’t get her actual towel, so she had a staff member run back stage and bring out her towel. She then kissed it and had a staff member go switch towels with the fan. Lol

Over all it was an amazing show and I loved every part of it. My favorite performances where definitely HAIRCUT, ScREaM, and Guess Who is Back. Kuu definitely never disappoints and I can’t was to see the show again this upcoming Monday!

Thanks for the review!! I hate her hairstyle with the pink outfit but the outfit itself is pretty hot. This tour sounds already better than WFACE one. EXCITED

Thanks for your review! The haircut performance sounds so awesome. Would you happen to know why Kuu said it would be better to have seats farther away from the stage?

^Yea, I was on the 3rd floor and think that I had a pretty good view. Throughout the whole show there was a lot of interaction with the screens, the big one in the back and the moving ones on the floor. So probably being too close to the stage you might be at a wierd angle or not able to see everything that's going on.

Thank you for your review, Taru86!
Would you mind telling us, why one of your favourite performances of the night was Guess Who Is Back?
You didn't mention it in the review, just at the end.^^
